WMG / A Man Called Otto

Go To

Otto is an alien

He was simply put into the world to teach people lessons all while keeping his cover as a “grumpy old man” to avoid being discovered. He died of “heart failure” which was really him going back to the planet and leaving the “Otto” body.

Marisol, Tommy, and their kids are Sonya and their stillborn’s metaphorical selves

There is a chance this is how they were going to act if Sonya and their kid survived the bus crash. This is how it would have been and this was a Throw the Dog a Bone moment for Otto. He simply didn’t realize it.

Otto is imagining everything

Otto was a man already dying of heart disease and was hallucinating himself trying to get it over with while also having realizations before his final hours. He was acting these scenarios out in public.
