Live reaction of general US and European moviegoing audiences in 1998 trying to comprehend the nonsense that is Advent Children

confusion

Wouldn't have done much better than Spirits Within probably. Both movies are boring, unwatchable garbage

The only good thing about Advent Children was some of the fight choreography, like the cool Tifa fight and Cloud's sword motorcycle. The story and what they did to all the characters was terrible.

That and leaving his daughter with Cloud and Tifa. Especially since I've played FF7: Rebirth, where Barrett goes through a little arc about taking care of his adopted daughter and wanting to be better at it. After leaving her frequently during his dangerous job as a member of AVALANCHE or the events of FF7, you think he'd choose to spend more time with her. (I know people have complaints about the new games, but that's one of the things I actually thought they improved over the original - except for the end of Dyne and the placement of a comedic fight there.)

I think they were just determined to thrust Cloud and Tifa in a little family and so took Marlene from Barrett and gave her to them.
