    Even if the script didn't specifically say the whole point of the alien language is that it's symmetrical it wouldn't actually matter because the nitpick is incredibly stupid They didn't ask whether the writing was backwards onscreen because it's a stupid thing to spend time onhttps://twitter.com/IndieWire/status/1232732369104314371 …

        Also, thinking about it, if you learned both the Latin alphabet and English from aliens who very consistently wrote the letters mirrored... that wouldn't actually impact anything, would it?

        Fact: James Cameron actually altered Titanic so that the stars matched what the night sky would have looked like in that part of the Atlantic on that day in 1912 because Neil DeGrasse Tyson complained.

        also it's not a transparent glass wall and they didn't "draw" the symbols "on" anything. they're clearly floating in the air, as made evident by the fact that they start out made of motherfucking smoke. but yeah also it literally doesn't matter at all lmfao.

        just. there are so many blatant flaws in the "nitpick" before you even consider that it is fundamentally a pointless remark.

        Also, as long as they're interpreting the patterns consistently, it shouldn't matter, because they would have no basis for assuming what direction the symbols are supposed to be read in. If you flip English writing horizontally, it still contains all the same information.

        Also it would really not be that difficult for an intelligent species to write their script backwards to it is viewable to the reader correctly. I constantly write upside-down whenever I tutor.

        To be fair, “a stupid thing to spend time on” is how NDT became famous. He got attention for telling James Cameron and The Daily Show that they had trivial errors in their graphics: it’s no surprise he’s endlessly pedantic.

        1) the movie makes it clear it doesn't matter. 2) if it was consistent it wouldn't matter. 3) either the aliens or humans would have thought of that. 4) The aliens air write. If we air wrote we would write for the readers perspective. Did I miss anything?

        The fact that it is air writing, not writing on glass is the key thing. As I said if we air wrote we would write for reader perspective. That's assuming we didn't come up with a language that it didn't matter, as the movies say they did.
