@@brianm6117 interesting. I wonder if they’ll ever mention it in a sequel? Could they play it off like she died her hair or is the 1997 actress too different looking from the “1969” actress?
Biggest plot hole in MIB is that J shouldn’t have been as big as he was at the end of the movie during these events. In fact, he shouldn’t have been born at all. In MIB 1 when K was deleting all of J’s public records/ID files, it says J was born on Oct 19, 1969. He shouldn’t have been alive yet. Just nitpicking. 😂😭
@megafirebird22 well in the scene at the factory griffin was explaining on what could happen but didn't know what would happen and his brain processes the information differently compared to a humans
@@damiandavis612 fair enough, I'm just thinking that it also depends on how much they would see. And the general doesn't have much future to see. It also depends on wether he can only show them their future or just things in the future. I gotta admit that I haven't seen any of the MiB movies yet. (Maybe I did, but I don't remember watching them)
@megafirebird22 and griffin was also a fifth dimensional being while we are still in the 3rd dimension or 4th if Einstein's theory of space and time is correct
I like to think that J’s father saw that he was going to die, but that it was all for something far bigger than himself. Or who knows, maybe he saw the consequences of the world without the shield.
Grif said he showed him only what he needed to see, and then says “it was you”. J’s father saw his son grow and save the world because of this. I believe he may have seen he himself would die, but accepted it since it meant his son became the best man the world needed. (Love the way they did that. It was super small and so easy to miss but hearing him say that one line makes such a huge difference)
The biggest problem with this movie is that it was firmly established in the first one that J had not been born yet at this time. That serious continuity error aside, I thinks its a darn good movie, better tan the second one.
For me the biggest character break is K, it's established in the first one that he is still in love with his ex-wife, and never falled in love of a blond colleague.

Yes, but she wasn't an MIB agent. Probably the thing with O (dear gods, the puns...) was him trying to move on with life as an MIB agent despite still having a thing for the other woman.
@@nightrunnerxm393from what I'm taking it as young K and young O liked each other and K was in love and head over hills but giving they're agents and work together O probably saw it as a problem hence left K in a high level of depression where he ends up marrying another woman and fell in love and left The Idea of O being together with him Alone Just my pov
Script was weak on this MiB but Josh Brolin did an amazing job as a younger Agent K. He seems to have gotten so into it a lot of his subsequent roles in other films have a Tommy Lee Jones deadpan feel.
I always assumed it was the future of his son. Its very positive and definitely convinces him to do the right thing. He is presented as a proud father. Who else would mention to complete strangers that entered a forbidden zone, that this rocket start is not only watched by the entire world, but especially by his son. But thats only my theory. Maybe I read it somewhere, I'm not sure.
@@Grothgerek yeah that was my take too, showed that if he let this happen his son would grow up to be a good man and do right for the world, possibly with a glimpse of what would happen if he didn't (the alien invasion) though pretty sure he didn't show him what happens to him next
Too bad they didn't make more of these with smith. I really like men in black. I liked the 4th one too but it's not the same without tommy Lee and smith
