Millions of fans watched this stilted, silent dinner party, assuming it was a profound, artistic choice to represent post-battle shell shock, when in reality it was just a desperate attempt to hide some terrible makeup tape. It perfectly shatters the illusion of the meticulously planned cinematic universe, proving that even billion-dollar blockbusters are often just flying by the seat of their pants to execute a goofy inside joke
