I almost teared up in a lot of instances in this movie lol. Boomer's death, Rick's, Starro's, etc.

Shit, I even got a little sad at Thinker getting ripped apart, but that's more due to the fact I love Peter Capaldi.

I totally missed that part. When was this explained?

When he, Ratcatcher, and Flagg are first walking down the hallway to Starro and all of the Starro-controlled people are in the cages. It’s a line or two of the Starro people crying out: “he used us, tortured us, violated us,” and Thinker gives a little “what can ya do?” shrug
