yknow, between the steve subplot, random mentions of jim’s dad, strickler dying after his engagement to barbara was confirmed, and the whole “i hope he’s happy” “i’m sure he is; he’s with his dad” exchange regarding archie.... it really becomes apparent how much the “biological family > families of choice” narrative was woven into a lot of rott’s story. which is just another cherry on top of this film’s mess of a non-narrative. like... way to go against one of the most integral themes of the entire series.
