i'm just gonna focus on the least serious of these three
What the fuck even is Kadaj? Okay whatever he's a "Remnant" of Sephiroth. What's he made out of? You'd think Jenova, but he spends the whole movie looking for Jenova so he's not Jenova? What the fuck is he, then, a hallucination? How did he form? How the hell does Kadaj, a Remnant of Sephiroth, the guy that was more Jenova than anyone else to the point of encompassing any and all Jenova, not have any Jenova? Why are they even looking for the box when they know where Cloud is? They clearly know Cloud has Jenova which is why every other word out of their mouths is "Big Brother". But they themselves don't have any Jenova despite literally being part of Sephiroth? Even fucking Cloud has Jenova, why don't they just take his blood or something? Just grab him and cut his arm open or something — not only is he part of Jenova, he had really, really high grade treatment too, to the point where it fucking permanently fried his brain, since they did intend him as Sephiroth's replacement as all. But I guess they really needed the goo in the box?
Also what was any of the symbolism supposed to mean? They do the whole pieta thing, and the baptism thing, and Kadaj dies in Cloud's arms, and Aeris is there, so Cloud... redeems him by stabbing him a lot? And then she goes into the light, and then Cloud dies and rises again on the third day, so he's also Jesus, because he baptises kids, and so does Kadaj, which is why he's forgiven. With stabs.
Also how does that work? Jenova has rules but here they just made up new ones. Part of Sephiroth's mind + tiny tiny amount of biomass = Sephiroth. What about the other two Remnants? How did that happen? What the fuck is Sephiroth made of in that case, if Kadaj is apparently still there as well?
Also if Sephiroth was still there saying ominous shit into people's heads why didn't he just straight up posess Kadaj or Yazoo or Cloud or something? Why is Sephiroth returning to the Lifestream now different from when he did it the last two times? Why does he even care about Cloud?
fuck this movie
