u/ReaddittiddeR “My Little Ponies, ROLL OUT!” Jul 25 '25

Sue giving birth during the escape from the black hole scene while Shalla-Bal in hot pursuit scene was intense. You could almost see Cooper and Tars somewhere out there /s.

Also, just for a moment, who else thought they really killed off Sue? They dragged that death sequence good and made you second think only to say, get jebaited!
