(Spoilers for WW84 but who cares at this point)

It's been said how terrible the ending of WW84 is, which it is, but this also bothers me a lot.

When Diana makes her wish to get Steve back, he doesn't just poof into existence, he takes over the body of an innocent man. Just some guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time apparently, that only Diana can tell is Steve and not this other dude. And they proceed to take this guy's body across the globe, getting him nearly killed several times, and I can't remember anyone at any point caring about putting an innocent life in danger. I guess because Diana was okay with effectively killing someone to get Steve back? And then at the end when everyone has given up their wish the guy gets his body back and he just stumbles out of an alley or something I don't remember exactly, and she gives him some smile like 'Haha bro you just had some crazy adventure!'

That's insane.

Not defending this aspect but TBH I didn't really have a problem with it other than Steve somehow picking up on everything relating to his reincarnation BUT this. Plus IIRC the guy who Steve possessed was hitting on Diana right before Steve took him over. Having said that, it was weird no doubt. My main problem with the movie was there were so many scenes where I wondered what the point was. Just trying too hard to be inspirational, as if Jenkins needed Zack Snyder of all people to cover for her worst excesses the first time around (and even that movie was only decent IMO, and I didn't feel like I really missed anything by putting off watching it fully until last year).
