Also now that my video's done I finally watched Soul & I like it but *SPOILERS* I felt like they had a lot of scenes from an earlier draft where he has an epiphany that he touches a lot of lives by teaching & finds that fulfilling, and it never happens? Kind of weird

He was clearly going to die at the end of ab earlier draft, too, right? Like, a lot of it is about coming to terms with the life he did live, and accepting that it has to end, but then the end--God saying jk you get to live--is so sudden.

Oh definitely, but that was definitely tied to an early draft self-sacrificial "he must teach instead of pursue his own dreams" message - I mean literally having to GIVE his chance to live to a STUDENT?? And I wouldn't have liked it in that context at all

Not to say a "teachers are selfless" message is bad, but in a story where that wasn't really what he chose or wanted, framing it like he was selfish to want something more for himself would've felt really mean spirited

Also - I think this is a huge part of it - the bad optics of a Black protagonist laying down his life for the sake of someone played by a white lady
