Nightmare Fuel / Predestination

Go To

  • Jane goes through one horrifying and traumatic experience after another, all to make her the perfect time agent, but the process leaves her so broken that it's very possible that this is what caused her to turn into the Fizzle Bomber. And the doctor mentioned other agents. Is Jane special or is this simply how the Bureau makes all their agents?
  • And if the Fizzle Bomber is a Bureau agent manipulated into becoming a terrorist to give the Bureau a reason for being, perhaps all the Bureau's work is unnecessary, as they're simply fixing problems they've deliberately created themselves.
  • The whole twist around the fact that the protagonist is his own mother, father and even his own arch-enemy after inevitably going mad from the time travel, and that his existence depends on this messed up circle never stopping, flavors the movie with a unique kind of Existential Horror.
