Honestly, I could see Nolan having fun with “hat that turns you into things” akin to “what if time go backwards and forwards” and “dream within dream within dream”
yeah I was waiting the whole movie for a Bible salesman or at least someone to sing "Man of Constant Sorrow"...my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I made this kind of joke in chat the other day and the streamer genuinely thought I said they announced Mario Oddysey and that Nolan was attached.
We ended up eventually deciding that he would unironically make a decent (not great) Metroid film.
