🥯 Why Everything Everywhere All at Once is a Sci-Fi Icon

This film didn’t just blow minds — it blended them across infinite timelines, threw in some butt-plug-fu, and served it with tears, tax audits, and emotional trauma. It’s a multiverse story unlike any other, blending slapstick comedy, deep philosophy, martial arts, and generational trauma into one beautiful, googly-eyed mess.

Michelle Yeoh is perfection. Ke Huy Quan is a revelation. And somehow, amidst the chaos, it all makes sense. Kind of.

🔍 Deep Dive Highlights

Multiverse Jumping: Learn new skills by doing weird things (cue: paper cuts and raccoons).
The Everything Bagel: A black hole of meaninglessness… made of poppy seeds and despair.
Hotdog Fingers Universe: Disturbing? Yes. Weirdly touching? Also yes.
Generational Trauma: The real antagonist might be internalized shame, honestly.
Waymond’s Fanny Pack: Best cinematic weapon of the decade.

Evelyn Wang is a stressed-out laundromat owner juggling taxes, her distant husband Waymond, her judgmental father Gong Gong, and her daughter Joy, who’s slowly slipping away from her emotionally.

During a visit to the IRS, Waymond’s body is hijacked by a version of himself from the Alphaverse, who reveals that Evelyn is the key to stopping a multiversal catastrophe. She’s thrown into an interdimensional war involving Jobu Tupaki — a chaotic, all-powerful version of her own daughter.

As Evelyn learns to “verse-jump” into other versions of herself (chef, singer, rock, hotdog-hander), she gains abilities and insights, but also confronts the terrifying void of everything and nothing.

The final battle isn’t fought with fists — it’s fought with empathy. Evelyn learns that the only way to fight meaninglessness is to embrace absurdity, kindness, and love. She reconnects with Joy, finds peace with Waymond, and even befriends Jamie Lee Curtis in a world where they’re in love and have hotdog fingers.

It’s weird. It’s brilliant. It’s everything.
