Spelling/grammar fix(es), removed extra probably


* Amongst art pieces and decorations is something called [=DeepLight=] 12 only much bigger. It is a variation of infinity mirror and infinity box. Miles probably liked the original (current price 8500$) and asked the creator to make a bigger and probably more expensive version for himself. But that is not the brilliance here. [=DeepLight=] and infinity mirrors/boxes work only in low light conditions and when they work they look like they are bigger (infinite) on the inside. So what we have here is a fragile glass sculpture that looks like it is bigger on the inside, bright and very impressive until you shine a bright light onto it and take a good look in those conditions. Like Miles himself.

* Andi's standoffish behaviour may be an attempt to avoid conversation with the other Disruptors in case they ask or talk to her about something she does not know and risk blowing her cover.

*** Cassandra, daughter of Priam, was gifted with prophecy but cursed to never be believed; she foresaw the overthrow of Troy at the hands of the Greeks if Paris stole away with Helen, but was not believed. Likewise, Andi foresaw the disastrous consequences of Klear, but was not supported by her friends, nor believed in her claims to own the company.

*** Underlined by the fact that the Mona Lisa is also strongly associated with Paris (the city).

* Another early clue to Miles' general idiocy is the fact that while he boasts about how Creator/GillianFlynn wrote his murder mystery weekend, he mispronounces her name (which is pronounced with a hard "g", while Miles pronounces it like "Jillian").

Alphabetizing example(s)


* The "No Smoking" alarm in the gardens is loud and extremely sensitive, but the gardens themselves don't provide any ashtrays to safely dispose of anything the alarm detects. Even down to the tiny details, Miles [[DidntThinkThisThrough doesn't think beyond the immediate]].

!![[AC: Fridge Brilliance]]
* The very opening of the movie gives a nice bit of FridgeBrilliance: in the puzzle box invitations, Miles invites the recipients (intended to be the other Disruptors) to his island because he wants them to “solve the mystery of (his) murder”. While the common interpretation would be for them to solve a murder with him as the victim, an alternate interpretation of the phrase is that the invitation is referring not to a murder with Miles as the victim; but rather, one that is his handiwork, as the real murderer. And, ironically, it is the latter interpretation that comes true.

*** Andi never said Child = NFT; the napkin’s only mention of crypto is “Crypto Management” (admittedly still not great.) Child = NFT was one of Mile’s random nothingburgers that Lionel extrapolated into meaning something deeper than the surface level words. Just like the glass onion.

* The inclusion of Creator/KareemAbdulJabbar is an interesting ActorAllusion. In ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', he played co-pilot Roger Murdock - only for an inquisitive child to insist he was Abdul-Jabbar, causing him to blow his cover in a moment of anger. This connects to the 'imposter' theme of ''Among Us'' and ''Glass Onion'' itself, as well as the detective genre (Abdul-Jabbar has penned a comic book starring MycroftHolmes).
