@@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.

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)
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. 😂😭
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.

All for his little boy who would become a greater man than he could ever hope to be. He saw it, he was proud and he accepted his death...And let them pass
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
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.

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.

Very likely, he described it perfectly and how it functions, as well as where it should be and how it is deployed.
