Thanks for mentioning Nezuko's lack of actual characterization, she could legit be replaced with a dog and it'd make no narrative difference. The one thing she had going for her is how she had was how her humanity was keeping her from going full demon and killing people, but the fact that she was brainwashed into seeing all humans as her family just removed all that se when Nezuko shows restraint at killing humans I always have to ask if that's her mental fortitude or just the brainwashing.
My thoughts about Rengoku' dream in the movie goes like this: Rengoku is a Hashira. And he has good instincts. If Enmu (Lower One) gave him too unrealistic a dream, like his Mother being alive, or his Father suddenly acknowledging him, he would realise that it wasn't real and wake himself up immediately. So by giving him a realistic dream, where his Father still acts the same way he has for years, and he's just spending time with his younger Brother, Enmu has more of a chance to keep him trapped without realising that something is wrong. Unlike with Tanjiro, who is still greiving his family's loss, and desperatly misses them. Unlike the more experienced Rengoku, Tanjiro is still just a child, who is more likey to cling to the fake reality he's created in a chance to be with his family.
Thanks for the comment. I thought about the same idea. The problem is that Enmu states some of the weaknesses of the dream ability. It being that some can sense blood-lust and react to that. For some reason, Rengoku can react to a presence even though there is no blood-lust and tell if someone is a human as well. Enmu further states that they are having happy dreams in chapter 55. Rengoku is a hashira but the story does not imply that his dream is specifically catered to stop what is happening. Nor that his instincts do anything in the context of switching the dream. Tanjiro actually uses his instincts to figure out it is a dream and still has trouble until Nezuko tries to wake him up. If we are going by the argument that Rengoku has good instincts, I could also say, "Since he lived this moment already, then his instincts would tell him something wrong is going on," like Tanjiro. Also, Rengoku feels guilty when he wakes up, implying that he was caught in the dream like everyone else. It also gets more confusing as Enmu can use the kids going into the dream by cutting the rope using the demon slayers' swords. Making them lose their conscience. Enmu states the demon slayers can sense the blood-lust in the dream state but never says anything about real life and when tanjiro decides not to cut off the rope, they bring that up. To fix the moment, I think we would need some dialogue from Enmu stating that Rengoku's dreams are made specifically for him, thus fixing the issue. However, it does not fix the Akaza situation as it is written strangely (like they know each other), and morals
W video, I pretty much only watch Demon Slayer for the hype moments the story is bland asf lol
