Does Evelyn reconciling with one Joy mean every Evelyn reconciles with every Joy?

Maybe, but I don't think you have to go that far. The other laundromat owner Evelyn is basically the same woman who wasn't dragged into the multiversal conflict, so her thought process would basically be the same Flash Sideways aside.

Our trope page on the film says it's ambiguous whether the epilogue where their taxes are in order is in the multiversal conflict universe or the regular spin-off universe, but my interpretation is the latter, with the fate of the former left to headcanon funtime.

The main Evelyn by the end is linked to every other Evelyn the same way Jobu is. Her consciousness is registering/experiencing all of them simultaneously.

Both main Evelyn and Party Evelyn were the same in that moment. Both Party Evelyn and Party Joy were sharing the consciousness of main Evelyn and main Joy.

I don't think its particularly clear what happens to the "main" Joy or if Jobu permanently exists within her, or if the Jobu personality "leaves" would the "main" Joy just reset back to before the movie's events took place. I took the ending to mean that reconciliation happened everywhere.

I have to wonder if "main" Joy got a happy ending, though; the bald guard (whose alter made him shove a trophy up his ass) saw her murder two of his colleagues in cold blood, after all...

Yeah well let's be optimistic and assume the blunt force trauma they all likely suffered erased his memory.

I want to take a moment to say I really appreciate Ke Huy Quan's character, Waymond, and his perspective on things. Spoilers for the second half of the film.

Yeah, I agree, was just being snippy. I have no idea why, really.

Finally got around to seeing this film.

I gotta say, it was quite an awesome film. Definitely full of mind-bending visuals, alongside a rather heartwarming message (even though my personal spiritual beliefs have a different answer to the dilemma presented). So yeah, I definitely see why it has gotten the acclaim it has received, and it may just be my second favorite film of 2022 so far.

The reason it isn't number one? Top Gun: Maverick. tongue

VERY cool. Quan vs. Gleason for Supporting Actor is sure to be a fight.

Stephanie Hsu has been getting unfairly snubbed this award season so it’s great to her getting recognition here.

Jamie Lee Curtis also takes home Best Supporting Actress? Should have been Angela Bassett or if it had to be #EEAAO Sweep Stephanie Hsu 😔

Agreed [up] Stephanie NAILED a tough role and made me cry, and if we’re talking career achievement, Angela Bassett in BP 2 > Jamie in EEAAO

So much of the conversation about EEAAO's award campaign has been about how Asian actors have rarely gotten the opportunity to play the starring roles... and yet still, Stephanie Hsu's performance, vital to the film, is overlooked in favour of Deirdre Beaubeirdre the taxwoman because someone just, decided that they wanted to give Jamie Lee Curtis an award this year?

Not that Curtis isn't a spectacular actress but I kinda smell Consolation Award here. Apparently this is the first time she's even been nominated, let alone won, despite an acclaimed five-decade-long career.

Or maybe they just thought her performance was better than Hsu's, I'm not a mind reader.
