  It'd be a weird film if they mention a allergy and it has absolutely nothing to do with the plot

  It's Chekhov’s Gun
  Edit: spelling >
  
  When watching “Everything everywhere all at once”, I saw the buttplug trophies on the desk and snickered to my brother that they are Checkovs Buttplugs… I was right >
  
  The sequence of the goons trying to penetrate themselves with the buttplugs to gain fighting abilities was crazy (as is most of the movie). >
  
  As someone who hasn’t seen or heard of the movie, W H A T >
  
  People get "powers" from other universes versions of themselves by doing nonsensical actions. 2 goons are trying to jump on a set off butt plugs to unlock kung fu skills from another universe. Weird movie! >
  
  Fuck me I think I missed that KEY INFORMATION when I watched it, had no fucking idea what was going on >
  
  How did you miss the whole sequence where she had to switch her shoes, and the ensuing series of conversations regarding extremely low probability actions such as chewing up a stick of chapstick? Lol >
  
  I can’t tell if this is real or satire. Am… am I having a stroke? >
  
  That's how the film feels >
  
  Another similar thing: when someone coughs in real life you don't think anything of it, people coughing is normal. However when someone coughs in a movie you already know that person is ill and probably has a serious condition. >
  
  And every woman puking is pregnant. >
  
  And every pregnant woman wants two combined foods that are so random they could be decided with a couple of d20 rols. >
  
  :rolls:
  Hotdog buns and weiners. >
  
  Weiners is how they get pregnant >
  
  The hot dogs were really just the wieners we met along the way >
  
  Yeah, Veronica, but just because you met a wiener didn’t mean you had to up and sleep with it! >
  
  Every fucking time a woman pukes on TV -- unless they're obviously overdosing -- I feel like the "Oh shit I'm pregnant" reveal is right around the corner, and lo and behold, it almost always is. >
  
  I dunno.
  Bridesmaids they just all had food poisoning. >
  
  I said it almost always is, to be fair! >
  
  This is checkovs gun. If a gun is introduced in act 1, it will be used by act 3 >
  
  Or in both acts two and four! >
  
  If not, it will definitely be used in act five or six. >
  
  Soap Opera Corollary: If a character mentions a headache, they'll be dead of a brain tumor in a week. >
  
  This is what everyone who gets migraines thinks all the time. >
  
  If I get my severe migraines, I’m willing it to happen.
  Ironically, when I did have something wrong with my brain (2 demyelinating lesions with inflammation), I didn’t have a headache in sight. >
  
  My dad actually did have brain cancer and I don't remember him complaining about his head hurting even once. 
  As someone who gets migraines though, having a family member die of brain cancer makes my anxiety really happy. Endless fuel. >
  
  Or a mention of an estranged relative.
  Welp... we know who comes in later and saves or ruins the moment. >
  
  "We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no."
  I reckon Bruno's gonna be key to this. >
  
  He told me my fish would die. The next day, dead! >
  
  And whenever there is a guy in a dark hooded suit and breathing heavily he is always the father of the protagonist >
  
  Batman is Bruce Wayne's dad? >
  
  In the flashpoint timeline, yes >
  
  So what's Bruce up to...?
  ...wha- what's Bruce doing in that timeline...?
  Oh, he's frolicking on a farm upstate, I bet! >
  
  Also, if they tell you what the plan is - it is guaranteed to go wrong.  
  If they only tell you part of or none of the plan - it will work. >
  
  This has ruined suspense ever since I learned it lol >
  
  It would take a long time to kill me with hayfever.  I'd have to sneeze myself to death.  Maybe they spray pollen at me while I'm defus8ng a bomb. >
  
  In movie, it means you'll sneeze at the exact wrong time when you're hiding from the villain and they'll discover you >
  
  That actually would happen.  Or during my sex scene. >
  
  Also bleeding during pregnancy means they’ve lost the baby. 
  Once I was pregnant I found out how common bleeding & spotting is during a perfectly fine pregnancies. Oh and the “bloody show” later on. >
  
  The quantity of blood is important though
