I get where you’re coming from, but imo I feel like the quote applies to video games and their publishers a good bit. At least nowadays.
Everyone wants to be The Next Big Thing, everyone wants their game to be the only one people are playing.

“when everyone’s special; no one will be.”
I never agreed with this statement. If everyone is special, then everyone is. In example in game Overwatch everyone has special abilities and are nothing alike anyone else. Everyone is a specialist in their own field. Everyone is special.

Yeah, this is really annoying and tiring. Especially multiplayer live service games are designed in a way that you have no time to play anything else.

It’s a quote from a villain. You’re not supposed agree with it or him.

I’m not using the quote for the source, I’m using the quote for what it says.

The source of the quote actually doesn’t matter to me. I judge the quote itself.

But in the source of the quote, there’s a 1h55m parable to go along with it and why you shouldn’t agree with it.

As said, I don’t care where the quote comes from and what reasons they present in 2 hour movie. I apply the logic of the quote to the discussion we have here, and decided to not agree. It is my personal opinion independent from the film. BTW I watched the film too.

You said you “never agreed” with it, past tense. I assumed you meant in all contexts, including its original context.

I never agreed with it in all context I read it. I can’t disagree with a context I never read. I don’t know why you make it this complicated. I simply do not agree with it. Nothing to discuss about it.
