I don’t expect you to be less confused, I don’t expect you to know the answer

Then the discussion is not relevant in the moment and can be saved until after the movie when you are not actively disrupting the movie for other people.

Of course I wouldn’t talk during a dialogue, only during non-dialogue scenes

What you find personally enjoyable is not universal. While you may focus heavily on dialogue, other people do not. Moreover, things that are in non-dialogue scenes can be just as important, if not VITALLY important, to the movie as dialogue itself. By your logic, every other part of the movie that does not include dialogue is irrelevant to the movie and doesn't require attention.

Again, I don’t expect you to know the answer

Then the discussion is not relevant in the moment and can be saved until after the movie when you are not actively disrupting the movie for other people.

Lmao do you think I would be screaming that question throughout the entire theatre?

People are sitting around you on all sides. Unless there is no one near you, then you are going to disrupt the movie for them. There is a reason the trope exists of people saying "SHHH!" to other people talking quietly in movies. It's because they have ears and can hear you.

It’s not about a discussion it’s about speculation. There’s no point in speculation when the movie is over, all answers are given unless if there’s a second movie coming.

Speculation requires you to talk to the other person and for them to talk back to you. You know. Like a discussion. If you're not expecting a response at all then it just circles back to the point of egotistical and narcissistic by assuming that everyone around you thinks that your idle musings about a movie are more entertaining than the movie itself.

This entire conversation is pointless and I'm not continuing it any further. What you're advocating for is some nastygirl behavior that is utterly inconsiderate of everyone else. Let me reflect that energy right back by no longer considering anything you say.
