@@Loewemon25 I took that as the MiB just naturally keeping tabs on everything and everyone involved with an alien at some capacity (which I'm positive includes Every human on Earth)
@@Loewemon25 Not only bring it full circle but make the connection they have even more meaning and be stronger. The only thing I think they could have changed a bit was to have the Adult J walk over to his father to say something before going back to his time maybe like "You were a Hero".
The fact that K realized that J travelled through time to save him only to lose J's father in the process made him really grumpy and serious all the time until he met J and tried to make up for everything J has to do for him.
@@ferolcat2009the cycle never reset because Boris was killed by K in the past making it a new timeline meaning K probably remembers that J went back in time
This was actually a great ending as it came full circle from the first one. Throughout J's life, K was always there looking after him. He was dead set on J being his partner when he was put up against actual Marines and Air Force when he was just NYPD lol. But I got a nice chuckle when I remembered in the first one where J kept on asking K if he ever 'flashy thingy'd' him before lmao
Regarding the military guys in the first one, I always liked the theory that MiB always brought in people like that when testing new recruits. The whole purpose of that session was to test J. Those other guys were just props to put the recruit in a weird environment and to see how they react when out of place, and to see if they also become kissasses
@@shehranazim4784 Yea I like that.. I think that is true. The military people were like the control of the test to see if J was able to think outside the box and not follow the norm or what's expected.
Reason he got chosen by K, it's because J could see more than what it was in plain sight, remember what he said about the silhouettes of aliens? That they were doing other activities and they weren't dangerous, while the strange little girl with an advanced book was around there, so she was suspicious. He also chased a very fast alien, too, so he had skill, deduction and passion despite of not having a career that required a long and exhaustive training. That story is more interesting that J getting in MIB, just because of nepotism.
@@shehranazim4784 Problem with some fan theories, it's that they ignore what it was presented in the story and then they go their own way like it was just fanfiction. If you remember, those men in uniform were neuralized after the test, of course, you can say they only did that to pretend something, but, no, J didn't even notice that happened. That scene just tells you how MIB recruit people and they consider high skill and preparation, but, in the case of J, he had that skill, he could see what the others didn't, "what a little girl doing in that dangerous neighbor with a very advanced book", he also told the other aliens may just exercising or doing something non-threatening, what we saw they do later in the film. He also had devotion and passion, despite of only being a police officer, where the training to become one it's softer and short, this movie just rehashed that, it's a touching and nice ending, certainly, but, that made it look like J actually got in MIB, because he had a contact inside the organization and that was it.
@@stanleyshady9465 In the 1st one they said they don't depend on anyone, those military and marines were there for the test, too, the only connection you can make with this plot that, of course, was written later only to make a new movie, it's that K wanted only J to join MIB and this 3rd movie could explain why.
Josh Brolin's impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones is spectacular. He got the mannerisms down perfectly. He was screwed out of an Oscar for this performance.
For anyone that is confused about the continuity, my theory is that Griffins line "where there is death, there will always be death" implies that certain events in time are meant to happen no matter how much you change in the past. In other words, in the original timeline before J and Borris traveled back in time, J's father still died which and it inspired K to look after him until he was old enough to join MIB. Just like in this scene.
Mostly yes, it more says that "a death" is a fixed point in time meaning either J's father died here or K died here in the alternate timeline. Either way someone had to die in order to fulfill that fixed point.
@@Milliardo__Peacecraft And that is a wierd moment tbh, causes Boris died there too, yet he wasn't ment to. Well, I guess it's something more like "some events need to happen to let other events happen" you know, most certainly James would've not become Agent J if he's father was still alive.
You don't always need to use de-aging someone to put in a movie. You just need a really good actor to (with close to the same facial features) give top notch performance.
In this movie that works because in the previous ones we never saw K in his youth. De-aging is necessary when you need actors that grew older playing their roles to look like they used to decades ago in their early performances.
I also think it was for comedic purposes to. Most movies (especially bio movies) won’t use teenagers to represent the person when they are younger, they will usually use the adult actor who in real life is typically in their early to mid 30s. The scene where he was like “How old are you?” And k replies “29” I always took that as making fun of the movie cliché of actors being much older then the person they are portraying.
I like to think that J is actually too far away to hear what's being said, but he doesn't lose track of the conversation because he remembers it instead (regains it rather).
The look on James's face when he found out what really happened is a tear dropping moment. It was a look of disbelief. He looked like his heart skipped a beat 😔
The neuralyzer is a good thing to circle back to. In the first movie J asks K if he ever flashy-thingied him to which he doesn't answer. Personally, I pretty much took it as a thing for comedic effect due to how K is. Then this happens and it's like, oh it's actually for a sad reason.
Don’t know why they made MIB International. This was the perfect ending. It brought everything full circle. I always get teary eyed at this part just life Griffin
For me it’s this line. “He went to go do something… very special. And he wanted me, to stay here, and take care of his *best pal.* ” The way this line is delivered just hits me in my stomach every single time i hear it. The little voice crack K makes on best pal sells it for me.

Eh, many people, including myself, consider it to be better than the second movie. And it is. The first is still the best, but the third is still pretty good. The second one used to be the worst one, until MiB International came out. Now there's a forgettable MiB movie. This one is still the second best in the franchise, though. Might not have gotten the recognition of the others, but it stands up there with them easily.
@@Geral454 I remember it got pretty good reception at the time too. It came out a few weeks after the first Avengers film though, which at the time was a box office phenomenon. Probably explains why not a lot of people talked about this one. I personally love MiB 3 because it provides a really emotional and cathartic closure to J’s story by showing him why K is the way he is-which happens to be part of J’s formation as well.
the thing that always gets me is that IMMEDIATE response by K when he hears little James calling out. Split second reaction of immediately knowing what he was gonna have to do.
Moments like this in movies makes you appreciate the acting, storytelling, director's vision about the film... this was the best Revelation in MIB trilogy..😭
The reason being b/c we had so many years since the first movie to let the attachment we had w/ the characters sink in. In contrast, when Agent J was revealed to be the father of the girl Agent J fell in love w/ in MIB II, it didn't hit as hard since we only knew the girl for like an hour before the revelation.
J never knew the truth about what happened to his dad until going back to the past to which he witnessed unexpectedly before going back to the present.
I was so dead set in not watching this movie because I believed all the critics saying it was terrible. But when I watched it with my husband a few weeks ago I realized how much of an knumbskull I was. Seeing this part made me cry and I didn't catch that it was Jay's dad until I remembered that Jay's last name was Edwards. But then he lost his dad, and he never knew about it because it would be hard for Jay to be the man he became in the first film. I bawled like a baby at this part when I watched it. It even made my husband cry and it's hard to make that man cry at anything.
at 4:45 when K asks the colonel "If you ever want to see more, I know a top secret organization that could use a man like you" and the Colonel said "I wish I could" with a smile, that's when it hits me that he knew he couldn't because he accepted his fate to die when Griffin showed him his future seeing that J is his son and what he does.
@@M0butu no, it's because Griffin literary showed him the future, he saw and knew what would happen to him as well with who is J to him. That line at the end with him "I wish I could" was him admitting he saw his own death. It was later confirmed by Barry Sonnenfeld himself
@@saiostory1090 That is an interesting take on the scene but I don't see why his knowledge of the future couldn't help him avoid his death. Earlier in this scene we see James use his knowledge of the future to predict and avoid Boris's projectiles. Further, the alien that showed J's father his future said he showed him only what he needed to see. I don't see why showing him his death would have been necessary.
This movie was a really fantastic ending to all the questions we had over all three films. Josh Brolin was amazing and so was Jermaine Clement as Boris. I genuinely loved the trilogy and I still remember being a young kid in the 90s going to see MiB in the theatre with my parents. Time sure does fly.
@@HoopsRaccoon not really, I like the explanation, K didn't just recruit him because he was capable of chasing some alien down, he recruited him because he basically was his father and knew what he was capable of
@@cookiesnugglez7318 I don't like ot be cause it changes the previous movies, and MIB 1 is quite perfect. It puts a different spin on him chasing the cephalopod. I understand your reasoning, and theirs. I just didnt like it.
@@HoopsRaccoon agreed. It kinda made his achievements in mb1 during recruit more meaningless/trivial. It also felt too ingenuine in its retroactive update to their relationship. Felt very forced in relation to the past 2 movies
In their defense, they probably thought they were hallucinating. A man jumping on top of the rocket is just WAY out of the thinkable. Either way, hallucinating would abort the start as well.
@@benjamim8046 Return of the Jedi didn't really do that. Empire made it quite clear that ObiWan snd Yoda were lying to the boy and setting him up as an assassin to his perverted father. It is Greek Legend and Tragedy. He didn't quite have to murder his father, but he was close. The Emperor couldn't help but gloat and Darth caught him monologing. It was consistent with 2. Empire was the shocker, with Return as let's do one again and resolve the tragedy. Jedi's original ending was to have Luke just walk away, realizing he was a tool of heartless fate (like Kirk in City in the Edge of Forever). However having him walk back to the Teddy Bear party and see the ghosts was the happy ribbon, not unlike A New Hope.
@@STho205 I’m mainly talking about revenge of the sith lol, casual Star Wars fans don’t know much at all about the story, they barely know darth Vader is Luke’s dad, if you’ve seen the original 3 either before or after it doesent really matter, watching the prequel trilogy brings a whole new perspective on a ton of things, which is why I feel they are Severely underrated, sure the cgi might be campy. But as far as actually adding to the whole story of “star was” I think they are essential to knowing darth Vader and how he came to be.
Hope everyone is doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤
I got all teary-eyed watching this the first time. Something like that would alter anybody. Led me to believe that every time K put his feelings into something he had them scarred. Focusing on the job to cope as well as to keep his feelings out of it.
This scene brought all the feels and tears. How he calls James back when he wanders even a 2ft away basically telling the audience that he will always be only a few feet away.
This ending brings me to tears every time it's pretty much brings the whole three movies full circle and knowing that K been watching over Jay his whole life and him picking him wasn't random.
And it also shows that the reason he was blunt throughout the series compared to his youth was the responsibility and guilt of Jay's father's death. This is also a sad tragedy, but K's line "it's been my privilege" at the end of the movie shows that the two main characters were eventually saved, overcame tragedy, and ended with a beautiful ending with a noble spirit for each other.
An unexpected come-full-circle moment that explain why J is so good at what he does, having experience alien since being a child. Also, love how the astronauts chose to turn a blind eye
This really hints to k basically always looking after j right up until him inviting him to MiB even if just for the sake of of j father... best story of all MiB movies
I recall watching this at my GFs place back then, with her father, stepmother and her cousin, the moment he realized he just said "oh no..." before starting to cry... it really hits hard as you dont see it coming...
You know watching Men in black 1-2, K would've fired J at some point, but this scene made so much more sense now as to why K kept J around all this time. Bcus he was about the only thing thats closest to a son that K will ever have. I just really appreciate the heart that K has to take J in as his son that lost his biological father.
The regret in K's eyes when he realized of young J's presence and the kindness shown through them when he was talking to the boy almost made me cry. A small scene that so meaningfully sums up their life-long relationship. Well done ❤
The thing about this movie is that it exactly justifies its existance and adds much needed context for the first film of the series. We always wondered why J got picked to be in the Men in Black. But just had to assume he got noticed for his personality and abilities as an officer.
I don't see why that still wouldn't be the case. J got noticed for his skill and abilities as an agent in the past and when they followed up on him they also noted his current personality and abilities when they picked him.
The saddest part knowing J knew K all along but spared him as a child so he didn't see the alien killed him . 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Your father is a hero 😭😭😭😭😭😭So sad but encouraging in the best way ever.
I went to watch this movie in the theatre and this scene still makes me emotional knowing the bond Agent K and Agent J has. A fan since the first MiB. It's uncanny how Josh Brolin emulates Tommy Lee Jones's iconic character.
For me the most hard hitting line is this one. “He went to go do something… very special. And he wanted me, to stay here, and take care of his *best pal.* ” The way this line is delivered just hits me in my stomach every single time i hear it. The little voice crack K makes on best pal sells it for me.
Now I understand why J became police because K told him that his father was Hero and lead him become MIP. Make sense that K want to J to be his partner immediately and protect him from Zed.
This scene speaks a lot about K's character. Seems very cold and austere, but he has a very warm heart. He's really an excellent example of what tends to happen to a man as they get older, and have to deal with all the disappointment that life can and does bring.
Ain’t even going to lie I cried a little I don’t know if it’s me having my own son that’s made me sensitive to seeing dad son situation like this. His dad was legit a hero died doing somthing no one would ever believe and died for a world that doesn’t even like him. But on top of it all leaving behind your son in that world. I think the fact that K actually took care of J the entire time without him knowing also hits deep. He stayed true to his promise despite you thinking he wouldn’t due to the time this took place.
The amount of hate this movie got when it fist came out back in the day was totally undeserved! I love it, and that last in particular still gets me choked up.
@@arturocastroverde3349 No dude I remember, this came out my freshman year in college and I saw so much hate for this movie. It was a cash grab, we didn’t need it, bad story, yada yada.

TV Trope of the Day: My Greatest Failure. Because Agent K couldn’t save J’s father, he took it upon himself to recruit J into the Men In Black when he was old enough and met MIB qualifications to make up for not letting J have the childhood he should’ve had.

he did flashy thing him before that scene in the first movie.

I just had a 😳 moment. I coult even remember there was a third movie.
Eh, many people, including myself, consider it to be better than the second movie. And it is. The first is still the best, but the third is still pretty good. The second one used to be the worst one, until MiB International came out. Now there's a forgettable MiB movie.
This one is still the second best in the franchise, though. Might not have gotten the recognition of the others, but it stands up there with them easily.
I remember everyone saying this was a pretty good movie. It's my favorite from the MIB franchise.
@@Geral454 I remember it got pretty good reception at the time too. It came out a few weeks after the first Avengers film though, which at the time was a box office phenomenon. Probably explains why not a lot of people talked about this one.
I personally love MiB 3 because it provides a really emotional and cathartic closure to J’s story by showing him why K is the way he is-which happens to be part of J’s formation as well.
the thing that always gets me is that IMMEDIATE response by K when he hears little James calling out.
Split second reaction of immediately knowing what he was gonna have to do.
I agree.
Agent K's face shows Agent K's heart was breaking at that moment.
Moments like this in movies makes you appreciate the acting, storytelling, director's vision about the film... this was the best Revelation in MIB trilogy..😭
Well said
What happened with mib that had the female as the agent. 🤔
@@thebrotherfromanotherplane297 what?!
The reason being b/c we had so many years since the first movie to let the attachment we had w/ the characters sink in. In contrast, when Agent J was revealed to be the father of the girl Agent J fell in love w/ in MIB II, it didn't hit as hard since we only knew the girl for like an hour before the revelation.
@Adam A Wait what that's his daughter?
When we finally know why K told J not to talk bad about his dad in the first movie😔
mov uguooikmb merr😊
Yeah
Yea but was that the plan , different directors and writings
I think he told him in the third
@@pieronano6784 its the third one, 1 and 2 never mention or hint at J's family, not once
The fact that Josh Brolin is playing Tommy Lee Jones playing Agent K is wonderful and weird, and very Men in Black.
The likeness is uncanny.
ok
A dude playing a dude disguised as another dude
"Where's my dad?" I felt so bad for little James.
His dad comes back as luke cage
J never knew the truth about what happened to his dad until going back to the past to which he witnessed unexpectedly before going back to the present.
He uhh he went to go do something very special. And he wanted me to stay here and take care of his best pal!
My heart broke.
We was on stage slapping someone
This is how you end a franchise
What about the new on... *SHUT UP*
Agreed the franchise, ended here
No ones ever *really* gone.

lol yea MiB 4 doesn't count, no Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones
I was so dead set in not watching this movie because I believed all the critics saying it was terrible. But when I watched it with my husband a few weeks ago I realized how much of an knumbskull I was. Seeing this part made me cry and I didn't catch that it was Jay's dad until I remembered that Jay's last name was Edwards. But then he lost his dad, and he never knew about it because it would be hard for Jay to be the man he became in the first film. I bawled like a baby at this part when I watched it. It even made my husband cry and it's hard to make that man cry at anything.
It was just good. I think no one expected this ending.
❤
at 4:45 when K asks the colonel
"If you ever want to see more, I know a top secret organization that could use a man like you"
and the Colonel said "I wish I could" with a smile, that's when it hits me that he knew he couldn't because he accepted his fate to die when Griffin showed him his future seeing that J is his son and what he does.
Meh. More likely he couldn't because he had a son.
@@M0butu no, it's because Griffin literary showed him the future, he saw and knew what would happen to him as well with who is J to him. That line at the end with him "I wish I could" was him admitting he saw his own death. It was later confirmed by Barry Sonnenfeld himself
@@M0butu you have a very big lack of imagination
@@DaviliaXO I wouldn't say lack of imagination. That's why I always assumed he said he couldn't. Because he had a son to take care of.
@@saiostory1090 That is an interesting take on the scene but I don't see why his knowledge of the future couldn't help him avoid his death. Earlier in this scene we see James use his knowledge of the future to predict and avoid Boris's projectiles.
Further, the alien that showed J's father his future said he showed him only what he needed to see. I don't see why showing him his death would have been necessary.
This movie was a really fantastic ending to all the questions we had over all three films. Josh Brolin was amazing and so was Jermaine Clement as Boris. I genuinely loved the trilogy and I still remember being a young kid in the 90s going to see MiB in the theatre with my parents. Time sure does fly.
I know right....gonna be 31 tomorrow. 😔
@@PredestinedDisciple I was not really fond of the fact that the girl from the first movie never made it to the second as J's partner. She was badass
Happy birthday
@@PredestinedDisciple happy belated birthday.
@@soscobra yeah things just got complicated with her as some sources say
6:21 I don’t think James can hear the conversation for over there but he is reliving the memories
Jay : Kay, have you ever flashy-thinged me?
Kay : No.
Jay : I ain't playing with you, Kay, have you ever flashy-thinged me?
Kay : No.
Lmfaoooooooo
Well he did do that multiple times in the movie
Kay probably felt really bad saying no
Okay!! 😂😂 He did! So cute!
@@bella_saysitall Thanks for your reply. My lovely friend Where are you from
He really did take care of his best pal.....his son. He made him into a true hero like his father.
Agent K actually care James from child. Thats why Agent K recommended James to MIB.
I love MIB films but this didnt need to revealed. Kind of dumb.
He watched him his entire life
@@HoopsRaccoon not really, I like the explanation, K didn't just recruit him because he was capable of chasing some alien down, he recruited him because he basically was his father and knew what he was capable of
@@cookiesnugglez7318 I don't like ot be cause it changes the previous movies, and MIB 1 is quite perfect. It puts a different spin on him chasing the cephalopod. I understand your reasoning, and theirs. I just didnt like it.
@@HoopsRaccoon agreed. It kinda made his achievements in mb1 during recruit more meaningless/trivial. It also felt too ingenuine in its retroactive update to their relationship. Felt very forced in relation to the past 2 movies
After all these years I realized the Neil, Buzz and Michael were ready to let a man die for the sake of their launch, that's determination
"determination".
Wow they sure sacrificed so much.
Fuck em (in the MIB universe; not actually)
"Did you see anything?" "Nope, didn't see a thing"
I meeean. I can see both sides
They likely didn't think it was a man, rather a bird or something.
In their defense, they probably thought they were hallucinating. A man jumping on top of the rocket is just WAY out of the thinkable.
Either way, hallucinating would abort the start as well.
can't believe this goofy series had such a wonderful tearjerking moment like this. uuugh somebody needs to stop cutting onions!
Never has the third installment of a series made me rethink the whole thing... Ever.
Hello fan how are you doing is me Keanu reeves
Is. Nice to meet you❤💋❤💋
Ever watch Star Wars? The good ones not the Disney ones
@@benjamim8046 Return of the Jedi didn't really do that. Empire made it quite clear that ObiWan snd Yoda were lying to the boy and setting him up as an assassin to his perverted father. It is Greek Legend and Tragedy. He didn't quite have to murder his father, but he was close. The Emperor couldn't help but gloat and Darth caught him monologing.
It was consistent with 2. Empire was the shocker, with Return as let's do one again and resolve the tragedy.
Jedi's original ending was to have Luke just walk away, realizing he was a tool of heartless fate (like Kirk in City in the Edge of Forever). However having him walk back to the Teddy Bear party and see the ghosts was the happy ribbon, not unlike A New Hope.
@@STho205 I’m mainly talking about revenge of the sith lol, casual Star Wars fans don’t know much at all about the story, they barely know darth Vader is Luke’s dad, if you’ve seen the original 3 either before or after it doesent really matter, watching the prequel trilogy brings a whole new perspective on a ton of things, which is why I feel they are Severely underrated, sure the cgi might be campy. But as far as actually adding to the whole story of “star was” I think they are essential to knowing darth Vader and how he came to be.
@@benjamim8046 you said the good ones. There were only three. Sith is not one. The rest were
Star Wars: Return of the Ticket Sales
I thought this scene was sad when I saw it in theaters. Now that my father has passed on, this just plain hurts
Sorry to hear
You are not alone… does hurt.. always remember.
@@Xerdar36 The burden of the good son, never forget the father.
The trees stand tall.
But all the leaves will fall.
I'm sorry dude. I hope you see your father's soul again one day when you join him as a part of the Universe.
Hope everyone is doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤
That’s why K knew so much about J in the first movie, he’d been watching over him his whole life to repay his father.
Little did we know the dad would come back to be Luke Cage
Who drinks lots of coffee
I got all teary-eyed watching this the first time. Something like that would alter anybody. Led me to believe that every time K put his feelings into something he had them scarred. Focusing on the job to cope as well as to keep his feelings out of it.
Hello fan how are you doing is me Keanu reeves
Is. Nice to meet you❤💋❤💋
This scene completely blindsided the audience in my theater. It absolutely MADE the trilogy.
This hit me really hard when I saw in theaters. My dad had died less than a month earlier.
I'm very sorry for your loss 💔
I’m so sorry
😢😢😢
Sorry for your loss....
Sorry for your lost
Josh does the such a good tommy-lee impersonation you can hardly tell. This is some 10/10 acting.
I was not ready for how well they put that ending together...right in the feels...
I remember seeing this in theaters and not being ready to be brought to tears by a men in black movie. They ended this trilogy perfectly
Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤
J realized he was never alone the whole time
This scene brought all the feels and tears. How he calls James back when he wanders even a 2ft away basically telling the audience that he will always be only a few feet away.
This scene is absolutely amazing it completes the whole trilogy.
@Tyler Ton Dang... LOL
@Tyler Ton How so?
Gives a whole new meaning to the first movie when J asks K how many times he's used flashy thingy on him and K says "A few".lol
No he was saying he flashy tho he’s elle a few times he lied & said no to j
“Agent J, if you see Chris tomorrow, Slap him! Don't arrest him, just Slap him !”
😂😂😂😂
Really
This ending brings me to tears every time it's pretty much brings the whole three movies full circle and knowing that K been watching over Jay his whole life and him picking him wasn't random.
And it also shows that the reason he was blunt throughout the series compared to his youth was the responsibility and guilt of Jay's father's death. This is also a sad tragedy, but K's line "it's been my privilege" at the end of the movie shows that the two main characters were eventually saved, overcame tragedy, and ended with a beautiful ending with a noble spirit for each other.
He also has seen others die like his lover in MIB 2
What’s great about this film is that the franchise comes full circle, so it is not just a cash grabbing sequel
6:36 when K grunts I think that was Josh Brolin improving trying not to cry.
Gives new meaning to when in the first movie J was asking K if he’s ever “flashy thinged” him
He sure did I remember that!
@@allthingshome6953 makes you think how long he’s been flashy thingy him.
An unexpected come-full-circle moment that explain why J is so good at what he does, having experience alien since being a child.
Also, love how the astronauts chose to turn a blind eye
J - "Hey K, did you ever use the flashy thing on me?"
K - "No. I would not."
J - "Oh okay."
This part is what hit me when I saw this
3:00 - The mutual level of broship
5:50 - I love the fact that moment J knew at that moment K was looking after him all his life
tuno 😊❤😊
This really hints to k basically always looking after j right up until him inviting him to MiB even if just for the sake of of j father... best story of all MiB movies
I recall watching this at my GFs place back then, with her father, stepmother and her cousin, the moment he realized he just said "oh no..." before starting to cry... it really hits hard as you dont see it coming...
I was emotional and speechless after I saw this scene. I shed tears because my favorite movie trilogy ended the best way possible
You know watching Men in black 1-2, K would've fired J at some point, but this scene made so much more sense now as to why K kept J around all this time. Bcus he was about the only thing thats closest to a son that K will ever have. I just really appreciate the heart that K has to take J in as his son that lost his biological father.
The regret in K's eyes when he realized of young J's presence and the kindness shown through them when he was talking to the boy almost made me cry. A small scene that so meaningfully sums up their life-long relationship. Well done ❤
After all these years this scene still gives me the chills
For a movie that was an action comedy, I cried so hard at the part. It was so sad, but such a touching moment between K and little J.
Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤
The thing about this movie is that it exactly justifies its existance and adds much needed context for the first film of the series.
We always wondered why J got picked to be in the Men in Black. But just had to assume he got noticed for his personality and abilities as an officer.
I don't see why that still wouldn't be the case.
J got noticed for his skill and abilities as an agent in the past and when they followed up on him they also noted his current personality and abilities when they picked him.
"I wish I could"
That's what Griffin show him
He knew all along after the vision
That’s why he told will “he showed me how important you are you and your partner”
6:18 when you relize thanos is about to get will like he did Gamora lol.
Chill out🤣
Demnnn
Damn dude you brought back some “infinity war” feels right there 😭😭😭
That scene just adds so much to Jay and Kay’s relationship. Brilliantly done
"When is he going to be back?"
Me: 😥😥😥😢😢😢😭😭😭
;(
K almost broke down
So emotional
I ask myself the same about my dad when he died
@@jaredpatterson1701 😢
Is sad that this is what changed Agent K. He felt that it was his fault.
The saddest part knowing J knew K all along but spared him as a child so he didn't see the alien killed him . 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Your father is a hero 😭😭😭😭😭😭So sad but encouraging in the best way ever.
I went to watch this movie in the theatre and this scene still makes me emotional knowing the bond Agent K and Agent J has. A fan since the first MiB.
It's uncanny how Josh Brolin emulates Tommy Lee Jones's iconic character.
This was such a smartly written script.
But made us all cry 😭
I saw this in theaters with my Dad. We both teared up and I couldn’t help but hold his hand.
Damn it just hit me that K changed because he low key became a parent at that point. Took me becoming a parent to understand. Shit changes you forever
Anyone else get a little teary-eyed at this scene?
Indeed
Every time
A lot teary-eyed.
Shutup.
I'm not crying, you are.
*sniff*
Definitely not me
5:34 when I heard “daddy, daddy” from little J I was cry 😭
I can't watch this scene without breaking down and sobbing uncontrollably every single time.
I didn't need MIB international this was a perfectly fine ending to the franchise
For me the most hard hitting line is this one. “He went to go do something… very special. And he wanted me, to stay here, and take care of his *best pal.* ”
The way this line is delivered just hits me in my stomach every single time i hear it. The little voice crack K makes on best pal sells it for me.
Boris to regular folks: **instakill**
Boris to protagonists: “I’ll give you every opportunity to recover from these playful jabs”
The strongest material more stronger than vibrainum is plot armour lol
Yeah, it was pretty inconsistant. Also how did the spikes knock the door off of it's hinges in the other scene ?
K took the nuralizer thing and tell young james.
"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be".
Josh Brolin was magnificent in this role. This MIB3 had a solid screenplay and the chemistry between Will and Josh was as good as it gets.
3:01 moment of silence for all the astronauts who never left the atmosphere they were fearless always ready never hesitant if only...
That was one of the most emotional endings I've ever seen in movies.
This was a great scene. Many people panned this movie but I enjoyed it. Brolin's performance as a young Agent K was excellent.
Now I understand why J became police because K told him that his father was Hero and lead him become MIP.
Make sense that K want to J to be his partner immediately and protect him from Zed.
This scene speaks a lot about K's character. Seems very cold and austere, but he has a very warm heart.
He's really an excellent example of what tends to happen to a man as they get older, and have to deal with all the disappointment that life can and does bring.
Hope you’re doing good and staying safe. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤
This scene made the movie. In fact the whole franchise.
And kudos to Josh Brolin's acting. He is one great character actor.
Josh Brolin is great on everything he does. As a kid I loved him in The Goonies.

Ain’t even going to lie I cried a little I don’t know if it’s me having my own son that’s made me sensitive to seeing dad son situation like this. His dad was legit a hero died doing somthing no one would ever believe and died for a world that doesn’t even like him. But on top of it all leaving behind your son in that world. I think the fact that K actually took care of J the entire time without him knowing also hits deep. He stayed true to his promise despite you thinking he wouldn’t due to the time this took place.
So nice of boris to throw him backwards perfectly along the walkway instead of just throwing him off the side to his death
The amount of hate this movie got when it fist came out back in the day was totally undeserved! I love it, and that last in particular still gets me choked up.
Men in Black 3 (2012) was actually fairly popular, it was seen as a big step up over Men in Black 2 (2002) which got a ton of negative reviews.
What hate? Sure it wasn't a hit like the 1st one but it got a WAY BETTER reception than the 2nd one

TV Trope of the Day: My Greatest Failure.
Because Agent K couldn’t save J’s father, he took it upon himself to recruit J into the Men In Black when he was old enough and met MIB qualifications to make up for not letting J have the childhood he should’ve had.
Josh Brolin is so incredible in this role! And this is my FAVORITE MIB movie! The plot, the cast, everything is so well done!
5:06 Boris true form is horrible
Yep i got completely freaked out by it ngl
I get teary eyed every time. Growin up watching J and K and then finally seein this come to light hits so hard.
