Why It Deserves Everything All At Once

  1. The movie's deep philosophical themes, such as absurdism, nihilism, humanist existentialism, meaning, our place in the universe, etc. make this movie much more profound than some classics. [1]
  2. All of the Characters are deep, funny, and smart.
    • Evelyn Wang, the main protagonist, is a hardworking, witty, good-natured person to be around, who eventually becomes more mature, knowing that, although she is in one of her worst possible lives, she has a loving husband who understands her. This revelation leads her to accept her daughter Joy's girlfriend. The laundromat she owns is failing, forcing her to commit tax fraud to stay afloat, leading to one of the side stories in the movie.
    • Raymond Wang, Evelyn's husband. Courageous, kind, empathetic, wise, and enjoyable to be around, he manages to aid Evelyn in her quest to defeat Jopu Tabaki with his humanist existentialism. A version of him from an alternate universe sets Evelyn on her heroic quest, noting that since she didn't accomplish anything during her life, she is the only version of herself that has enough potential to save the multiverse. Wang's empathy later resolves the main conflict.
    • Joy Wang, the daughter of the family. She struggles with her family's refusal to accept her girlfriend. If you think that's bad, wait until you hear the fact that a version of her from another universe, Jopu Tabaki, wants to subjugate all of reality because she was forced to unlock her full potential by tapping into other universes. She was pushed over the limit, and now is a threat to our existence. Later in the movie, it was revealed she embraced nihilism because not being good enough didn't matter if nothing truly mattered, and she could live how she wanted to. The ultimate goal of the movie was to understand Tabaki all along.
  3. The movie's absurdity makes it even more awesome, as it's willing to embrace its silliness despite being so profound. This makes the movie even more profound and moving, adding to the absurdism (nothing matters, but we can still be happy) of the film.
