Glass: 10 Most Unintentionally Funny Bad Moments
7. The "Seeing Each Other" Moment
Once Sarah Paulson's Dr. Ellie Staple gets David Dunn and The Horde to Ravenhill Psychiatric Hospital, she spends a good chunk of time spouting her beliefs about superheroes at both of them.
In the film, this is shown to us via intercutting scenes of Staple talking to Dunn and The Horde, respectively, essentially monologuing to them and telling them why she's holding them captive here. In these intercutting scenes, she also clearly states that the reasoning she's giving is why she brought "both" of them here. So it is clearly established that they are both in the same place and that they are both aware of it. Simple enough, right?
Apparently not.
Mere minutes later, as guards are doing their rounds, the doors of both Dunn's and The Horde's rooms are open at the same time for a moment so that they can share a brief moment of eye contact. Suddenly, the music swells and both performers look like they've seen a ghost. The film then spends the next ten minutes on both of them talking about what a shocking revelation it is that the other is in the same facility as them.
All of this is just filler in the worst possible way. It's not only reiterating things the audience already knows, it's reiterating things the characters already know and acting as if this is shocking or new information.
