10 Unanswered Questions From 2022's Biggest Movies

1. How Did The World React To The Mona Lisa's Destruction? - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Thor Love and Thunder Jane Foster

Glass Onion hilariously ends with Helen Brand (Janelle MonĂ¡e) avenging her dead twin sister Andi by categorically ruining her murderer, billionaire tech-douche Miles Bron (Edward Norton).

Helen uses Bron's alternate fuel, "Klear," to not only burn his Glass Onion compound to the ground, but also destroy the Mona Lisa, which Bron had loaned from the Louvre for a brief period and housed within his mansion.

By destroying the world's most famous painting, Helen not only proved the dangerousness of Klear, but also ensured Bron's name would reside in infamy forever more as the man who destroyed the Mona Lisa.

The film ends moments thereafter, without ever showing the wider global reaction to the painting's destruction. Given that basically everyone on Earth knows the painting, it's fair to say that such an event would make global headlines and invite a spate of reactions.

Beyond criminal proceedings surely being filed against Bron by the Louvre, there would likely be a mixture of amusement and horror at what went down, stirring up an intense debate about both the worth we place on art and the privileges afforded to the ultra-wealthy.

Depressingly, it's also fair to assume that Bron destroying the Mona Lisa would end up getting far more press than his shady business practises or, you know, him actually killing people.
