#i wanna write about small moments that clearly displayed each char early on. i just loved that scene so much bc the mom was BRILLIANT in it

I'm rewatching Glass Onion after literally just finishing it like you do, and the way that Lionel is supposed to be a brilliant scientist but didn't solve a single piece of the puzzle box himself was such a good detail, I noticed it the first watch but on the second it's got even more depth to it.

He couldn't do anything without following Miles, and Miles was a dumbass. Canonically, a manipulative dumbass. Who so thoroughly whipped an actual clever scientist into being his lapdog that didn't do anything without first being led or prompted.

Duke's mom figured out the box in a simple glance. And the genius scientist needed to be told.
