"Oh dear, I forgot to see this one coming." Yea, if I saw everything at once I would probably mix things up and forget at least a few things too. It's still funny how despite the power he has he still makes mistakes. Just like everyone else.
I love these kinds of characters. They have an extraordinary gift and people that makes it impossible for them to make mistakes. Which that isn’t the case. It doesn’t happen often to where a lot of people are around but it DOES HAPPEN! They aren’t perfect despite that gift and that’s what I love about them.
“It’s a gigantic pain in the ass” - let’s break that statement down. He is in every timeline. At all times, he is conscience of every happening. Not every possibility, but literally every happening. He exists in every moment. There isn’t a single timeline where he doesn’t exist unless he died in that timeline. No matter when you speak to him, in whatever timeline you speak to him, he will always have met you, he will always have known you, and will have always parted ways with you, and is likely aware of every timeline in which after he meets you, you die soon after. All he can do is hope that when YOU, this iteration of yourself, meets him, you can pull off what’s needed to survive. Yeah. That would be an absolute pain in the ass.
I'm the kind of person who creates characters for story for fun and I understand this statement as I have a similar character to this. All be it a character with a much more 'showy' personality and a lot more control over the fabric of reality. But yes as someone who's grappled with similar concepts I can agree such power is a Phenomenal Cosmic Pain in the ass. Especially when mishandled or abused.
Elliotte Yuermoy nigh omniscient. If he is killed in a timeline then that’s it for him there. He won’t be able to see whatever else happens once he dies
So there is a timeline where his planet was not destroyed. I always thought if I was him, I would be pretty apathetic towards what is going on, considering there are infinite timelines and tons are going to end up badly anyways.
I just realize, he feels pain, feels sadnessand he sometimes forgets. So he can see the future and the past, the timelines all possibilities but he only lives in one and he has lost his planet.
Yeah, imagine staring at an object, being able to see it in three different axies and then simultaneously see every possible event in time related to that object. No wonder Griff is always so possitive.
@@scottwpilgrim also, while he knows every possible future, he still can't keep track of what going to happen, because a little difference in action can radically change the course of history. Like paying a tip somehow prevent a meteor drop on earth, a "butterfly effect"
“I lost my planet...I don’t want you to lose yours.” That’s who Grif is deep down, he’s a friendly man who saw his people die and spent his life trying to prevent another group of people from suffering the same fate. He’s a fantastic character, and the paragon of empathy despite having a power that in any other work would leave him apathetic to the happenings of the universe.
Yeah, seeing Rick and Morty and all its nihilism about multiple dimensions and how nothing matters because it either did or didn't happen in another universe, it's nice to see a more optimistic and wholesome view on this.
@@justnoel4088 the show itself isn’t nihilistic, rick is. his family is. that’s an excuse to avoid confronting their own emotions and connections to each other. the arc of the series is to recognize that it doesn’t matter how big the world is, we have to love each other. that’s genuinely what the show is about. and people think rick is somehow just the self-insert character for the writers when that’s so far from the truth. rick’s REACTION to the multiverse (and therefore the inconsequence of his own trauma) is understandable. his wife was murdered, but he has infinite wives. infinite daughters. infinite unborn grandchildren. that would break a person. the show is about rick healing from nihilism. i wish more people saw this.
Griffin is probably my favourite depiction of a character with Nigh-Omniscience. Everyone seems to subtract the former part of his power being a "Gigantic pain in the ass" but he always keeps himself grounded and living in each and every moment of the infinite possibilities of his life by stating "It has its moments" really hammering home that he's more than comfortable with his burden.
“I lost my planet, I don’t want you to lose yours” That’s such a small but deep line. It’s a little detail about Griffin’s backstory but adds so much development to his character and also shows and tells the audience and our protagonists what kind of person Griffin is. For a man who can see such great and fantastic things but has also witnessed such terrible and horrific ones and is able to share the good ones with other people is a miracle in itself
@@MASTEROFEVILNope ! In real life they won after so many losses due to shear hardwork and bit of luck. Griffin was explaining that how that luck part is connected with the series of possibilities that seems improbable but happens anyway or occurs once or a very few times among all the possible timelines present which is why this is his favorite moment in human history.
“A miracle is what seems impossible but happens anyway...” Yeah. Like making it to the car in the parking lot all the way from the upper stands in the ballpark in THREE SECONDS FLAT!! ON FOOT!!! 🤣🤣🤣
@Tom AcM Like some French movies... there are some really nice ones, specially sweet comedies, but French drama, oh I once saw a movie that was 70% people walking from one place to another and going up and down stairs xD
Griffen is such an interesting character. As we can tell by his planet's destruction, and the fact that he "forgot to see this moment", his seemingly omniscient power is constrained through his mortal perspective. He can peer and look through any moment in the timeline, any possibility but he obviously restrained to be able to comprehend them all, at least at the same time.
You know, on many MiB videos on RUclips, you'll find people in the comment sections discussing pretty deep philosophical, moral, mathematical topics. For movies that are primarily mindless, entertaining blockbusters, they do seem to provoke a lot of deeper thoughts about who we are, why we're here and how everything works. Or at least, how we think it works. That's pretty amazing for this kinda movie. Most of it might be your standard blockbuster action scene, but every now and then they throw in that nugget that makes you think deeper. This is one of those scenes. Pretty special, if you ask me.
Same with the comment section. Most can be pretty generic but once in a while you come across a few that make you think or look at things differently. Makes reading comments fun to find the nuggets.
This one always moves me, for some reason. It may be the whole multidimensional being seeing time as a kaleidoscope or it may be the moment between J with his senior, both the younger and older versions....for me MIB will always be a trilogy that ends with this one.
"A Miracle is something that seems impossible but happens anyway." 10 years ago my sister-in-law Kim was struck by a car and killed. The car was only going 5 miles per hour. Kim was out walking her dogs when one got away and ran out into the street. Kim chased the dog and bent over to pick up the dog's leash just as the car arrived. If she had looked before going out into the street it wouldn't have happened. If the car's driver was going faster or slower, left earlier or later, Kim might still be alive. If she hadn't crouched down so her head was level with the bumper it wouldn't hit her head and crushed her skull. Every cog had to be in place, every gear of fate had to be in sync for this to happen but it did. It's a terrible thing that fate is so indifferent to who people are.
OK, yeah, "fate" is more poetic form of what you said. I don't know if you attribute the events coming together as Entropy per se, though I guess her head getting crushed certainly was on some level. As you said, whether there is some higher being behind things is beyond my understanding and largely a matter of faith.
Actually, everything is already pre-determined. I'm not a religious nut, but think about this. In a math problem where you are determining how far a ball with go before it hits the ground, you can solve it perfectly because you have all the variables that exist in the equation. If you extrapolate that thinking to the universe, if every variable is known, you could conceivably predict the future with 100% accuracy.
when you have all datas from everything that exist in the entire universe you can predict everything. i am here because everything that happend happend.. world war 1 ,world war 2 everything that happend did happen because the ball gets into motion with the first action ever
Nice try but no, you get into the debate of "free will" and choice... you can know the state of everything in the universe... all one human has to do is make a choice that your data can not predict and everything is thrown out.
Man, he's the last of his kind and had to experience this alone. The fact he says that he lost his planet, he wanted to prevent his new home from going through what he has possibly infinitely seen many times shows how much he truly is a kind being. Those boglodites deserved to be put down like the parasitic abomination monsters they were.
This guy is more or less how I would be if I were able to see the future. I would be paranoid about everything, and miss the one future I needed to avoid at all costs.
Not paranoid really it's more of just holding that power and responsibility futures can be changed but question really is who will be the one to change them
If those creatures are able to see possible futures, then how come they (all of them, not just griffin) missed the future where their home planet was invaded by bogladites. I mean at least one of them would have seen that as possible future.
Knowing doesn't mean much. The spartans knew the persians would invade, and put up a good resistance, but were still slaughtered. Id imagine this is the same. Who would help them?
The saw it. But they knew that their destruction was the first step on the journey to save the universe from the Bogladites. They had to die except Griffin because he was the catalyst of future events that would lead to the extinction of their destroyers. So in a way, it was no different than sacrificing a few chess pieces in order to gain checkmate.
Amazing effects. An alien who can see parallel worlds. That has got to be the most amazing superpower that even a mutant can have. Mystiques twin brother has that power since hes from another dimension another earth.
It would be so awesome to actually be able to see the future or past like that. Like taking a trip to Gettysburg and seeing the actual battle take place. Or going to Woodstock and seeing that weekend in '69.
Dr. Manhattan described that long before in the Watchmen graphic novel. How every person truly is special. Each one a miracle, if that's what you'd like to call it.
it always makes me wonder... how can a being that can see all possible futures and outcomes lose their planet? unless you have become so uncalus to what happens next that you ignore possibilities and take an "oh well" attitude never fighting back it would be impossible.
@@AJ-dx6bn doesn't mean they can't ask for help or build something that can defend their planet peacefully like a shield just like he did for earth. if they could see it coming as a possibility than then could have tried to prepare for it. seeing the future or all possible futures doesn't mean you give up just because you are peaceful.
@@Dragnmastralex they see all possibilities but don’t know which one will happen. For them the see being invaded by countless different species and possibly developed an apathy to it. Griffin is simply driven by being a nice person who doesn’t want people to suffer.
Essentially Griffin has access to the Alashic Records, also known as The Book of Life. Where one can look into not only one but infinite potential futures, how different butterfly effects unfold reality etc..
Having Griffin be the focal point or the conscience of MIB 3 was a stroke of brilliance. Couldn’t have casted that role better. If they ever did a standalone movie for him, I’d pay to see it.
2:35 The absolute anguish on his face tells us he’s being sincere. Griff is the closest thing in the universe to true omniscience, and yet he genuinely wishes all he had was his home back. It’s his compassion for humans that makes him a great character, not his power.
His world was lost/destroyed. So being able to see all possible outcomes/universes apparently doesn't mean you can navigate through or choose them. It would suck to see death coming (for yourself or your whole world) and be powerless to change it.
people stare slackjawed the big events as they happened but never stop to think of all the tiny things that happened along the way for that event to even come to fruition.
I think about how crazy it is that for me to be alive today, my ancestors had to meet, if one ancestor didn't meet another, for whatever reason, they died during infancy, a war, car accident, an illness, or if they were sick that night and didn't go out to the bar, party, in town or wherever they met their partner, and if my parents didn't go on that blind date. if my dad would of married the woman he was engaged too if she didn't pass away from lou gerhigs disease.. I am an invitro baby. my mom was 46 when she had me. invitro was in its infancy when I was born. they tried three times, if they didn't try the third, if it would of been different eggs implanted, or my dad gave a separate sample of his sperm. if the egg didn't implant at all. miscarriage. they tried to adopt, what if it had worked out? just all the infinite possibilities makes me realize how rare it is for me to be here at all. and then there's me, no one special. If I passed away, the universe wouldn't miss a beat. in a 100 years or so my name would be completely forgotten. its depressing and mind blowing at the same time. I am so grateful for all those things to line up so perfectly that I have been blessed with life at all.
It's so crazy how seemingly one insignificant moment in your life could have far reaching effects, like what if you never decided to go the place where you met your future partner and stayed in instead? You'd never get married, never have kids, you wouldn't have grandkids, whole lives and generations erased before they even started over one simple moment in time
when he sees the future where boris shows up, he doesnt duck or step forward to avoid it.. because that itself is another branch of the timeline and possibly one that led to much worse endings
You live in a 1 dimensional world: Your world is flat, you have forwards and backwards, that's all you can perceive and move You live in a 2nd dimensional world: Well, now we can move side to side, aren't we the bee's knees! But it's still plenty flat around here (think Pac-Man) You live in a 3rd dimensional world: Welcome home, take a jump and enjoy the fall! _But not _*_TOO_*_ much!_ Little dab'll do ya! You live in a 4th dimensional world: Enjoy taking short cuts that confuse 3rd dimensioners! Space in relation to distance is nothing, too you, you see all: Look at a building, you see every part of it, inside and out, no matter how far away you are from it- POP - you're inside it, now, for funsies You're in the 5th dimension: Did you enjoy that thing you just did with the building? The "- pop - and now we're inside of it," thing? Now do it again! And again!!! _AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!_ *BWA HA HA!* Time is a funny little notion, to you!!!! Now, here's the problem..... Imagine you're a third dimensional being looking down at Pac-Man in his two dimensional world. Hard to do, I know, but bare with me! Even if you _could_ physically interact with him, that doesn't mean he would understand you (how does your 3rd dimensional voice sound in his 2 dimensional world?), and even if you could fit just a finger into his 2 dimensional world, it would never translate appropriately. Pac-Man would perceive that finger the only way his 2 dimensional brain could, in a way that the two dimensional space would allow......in two dimensions.... Just a wide pillar, by his standards, trying to extend beyond his vision, up and down, in a world where that's not a thing (what damage would incur getting your finger into that space? To both finger and/or "dimensional barrier" being broken). But, much like the 4th dimensional being looks and sees all, the 5th dimensional being looks, sees and _knows_ all! Past, present, potential future! Inside and out!
2:35 Really says that while vengeance is a theme his motivation is just wanting a planet that is a neutral point to aliens and humans to remain safe from a group of alien instigators
A huge amount of ink has been spilled and hot air expelled over "what ifs" of history, and almost every argument is some variation of "if only this ONE person had been there", or "if only this ONE decision had been made differently", or "this only happened because this ONE other thing happened." And it's all so much moonshine, because history is always a collection of events, decisions and personalities. So many things have to come together, and outcomes are not limited to two possibilities, they're infinite.
Random guy to a guy with Asperger syndrome: "This is how you see the world? This is amazing!!" Guy with Asperger syndrome: "It's a gigantic pain in the ass...but it has its moments."
This is how I view the present. As a student of history, I recognize that everything that has ever happened, every thought, every word spoken, every action has led to this point here and now. Remove any one thing in history, no matter how small, and our present could be vastly different. We exist as we are because of the past, as our future will be shaped by our present. Infinite possibilities, infinite outcomes.
Whenever I see this movie (a bajillion times XD) I think of how Sheldon from BBT would be so happy to meet this guy so he can talk about how String Theory actually exists XD XD XD
Nice. Rather than say every possible future branches out from the present, every possible future based upon every possible event in the past coalesces into a single time in the present. You can visualise it like a cone that fans out from a single point backwards (the past) that wraps around until it’s moving toward the original single point (the future) where it collapses to a single point in time in an endless cycle.
It works just like that and If you dont see something coming means it wasnt time in the multi wheel machine to pop up....yet you still feel somethings comining like a warning just in time that fits just in time.... its a constant multi wheel machine that works together 24/7/365... day and night (REM and NonREM cycles)
My physics professor once told us that he believed our dreams aren't about ourselves, but rather a connection to our others lives we are living in parallel universes that is actually happening. And why it seems we go from one place and happen to another in an instant in our dreams. We're seeing many at the same time. I really liked that and actually hope it's true.

@@Dragnmastralex they simply peaceful creature, doesn't have any military power
@@AJ-dx6bn doesn't mean they can't ask for help or build something that can defend their planet peacefully like a shield just like he did for earth. if they could see it coming as a possibility than then could have tried to prepare for it. seeing the future or all possible futures doesn't mean you give up just because you are peaceful.
@@Dragnmastralex they see all possibilities but don’t know which one will happen. For them the see being invaded by countless different species and possibly developed an apathy to it. Griffin is simply driven by being a nice person who doesn’t want people to suffer.
Essentially Griffin has access to the Alashic Records, also known as The Book of Life.
Where one can look into not only one but infinite potential futures, how different butterfly effects unfold reality etc..
So that's why Arnold Rothstein is a good gambler. He knows all the results in advance.
I adore this movie and this character is a big reason why.
“It’s a gigantic pain in the ass” is mine of my favorite lines in film history. I love Griffin, and I wish we could see more of him.
Having Griffin be the focal point or the conscience of MIB 3 was a stroke of brilliance. Couldn’t have casted that role better. If they ever did a standalone movie for him, I’d pay to see it.
Ha, Griffin reached the 6th dimension.
2:35 The absolute anguish on his face tells us he’s being sincere. Griff is the closest thing in the universe to true omniscience, and yet he genuinely wishes all he had was his home back. It’s his compassion for humans that makes him a great character, not his power.
That little catch in his voice when he says he lost his planet is just heartbreaking.
2:56 How'd they get down there so fast
It’s a cut
Yeah he said “Damn it” because the car was destroyed.
A miracle is what seems impossible but happens anyway
through the power of editing
0:55 ROFL. IT'S A GIGANTIC PAIN IN THE ASS 😆
His world was lost/destroyed.
So being able to see all possible outcomes/universes apparently doesn't mean you can navigate through or choose them.
It would suck to see death coming (for yourself or your whole world) and be powerless to change it.
"I forgot to see this one coming"
If I could live in and see an infinite amount of probabilities it would slip under my watch too.
Griffin is the paradigm of " You shall know the truth and the truth will make you mad."
people stare slackjawed the big events as they happened but never stop to think of all the tiny things that happened along the way for that event to even come to fruition.
I wanna be more like this little dude with his hat on, so joyful and lively
I think about how crazy it is that for me to be alive today, my ancestors had to meet, if one ancestor didn't meet another, for whatever reason, they died during infancy, a war, car accident, an illness, or if they were sick that night and didn't go out to the bar, party, in town or wherever they met their partner, and if my parents didn't go on that blind date. if my dad would of married the woman he was engaged too if she didn't pass away from lou gerhigs disease.. I am an invitro baby. my mom was 46 when she had me. invitro was in its infancy when I was born. they tried three times, if they didn't try the third, if it would of been different eggs implanted, or my dad gave a separate sample of his sperm. if the egg didn't implant at all. miscarriage. they tried to adopt, what if it had worked out? just all the infinite possibilities makes me realize how rare it is for me to be here at all. and then there's me, no one special. If I passed away, the universe wouldn't miss a beat. in a 100 years or so my name would be completely forgotten. its depressing and mind blowing at the same time. I am so grateful for all those things to line up so perfectly that I have been blessed with life at all.
You, Kelly Capps have possession of a great truth.
He's like a cute powerless version of Yog-Sothoth
"Ohh dear... I forgot to see this one coming....."
This part always made me laugh.
It's so crazy how seemingly one insignificant moment in your life could have far reaching effects, like what if you never decided to go the place where you met your future partner and stayed in instead? You'd never get married, never have kids, you wouldn't have grandkids, whole lives and generations erased before they even started over one simple moment in time
Love this scene.
This movie was better than a lot of ppl gave it credit for.
"its a gigantic pain in the ass" lol
This movie's so good.
when he sees the future where boris shows up, he doesnt duck or step forward to avoid it.. because that itself is another branch of the timeline and possibly one that led to much worse endings
You live in a 1 dimensional world: Your world is flat, you have forwards and backwards, that's all you can perceive and move
You live in a 2nd dimensional world: Well, now we can move side to side, aren't we the bee's knees! But it's still plenty flat around here (think Pac-Man)
You live in a 3rd dimensional world: Welcome home, take a jump and enjoy the fall! _But not _*_TOO_*_ much!_ Little dab'll do ya!
You live in a 4th dimensional world: Enjoy taking short cuts that confuse 3rd dimensioners! Space in relation to distance is nothing, too you, you see all: Look at a building, you see every part of it, inside and out, no matter how far away you are from it- POP - you're inside it, now, for funsies
You're in the 5th dimension: Did you enjoy that thing you just did with the building? The "- pop - and now we're inside of it," thing? Now do it again! And again!!! _AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!_ *BWA HA HA!* Time is a funny little notion, to you!!!!
Now, here's the problem.....
Imagine you're a third dimensional being looking down at Pac-Man in his two dimensional world. Hard to do, I know, but bare with me! Even if you _could_ physically interact with him, that doesn't mean he would understand you (how does your 3rd dimensional voice sound in his 2 dimensional world?), and even if you could fit just a finger into his 2 dimensional world, it would never translate appropriately. Pac-Man would perceive that finger the only way his 2 dimensional brain could, in a way that the two dimensional space would allow......in two dimensions.... Just a wide pillar, by his standards, trying to extend beyond his vision, up and down, in a world where that's not a thing (what damage would incur getting your finger into that space? To both finger and/or "dimensional barrier" being broken).
But, much like the 4th dimensional being looks and sees all, the 5th dimensional being looks, sees and _knows_ all! Past, present, potential future! Inside and out!
I'm noticing this dude more and more haha I mean Lincoln, Steve Jobs, Arrival, Doctor Strange, The Shape of Water? Really racking up the credits =D
The best part is he don't need the "time stone".
"It's a gigantic pain in the ass. But it has it's moments." 🤣
2:35
Really says that while vengeance is a theme his motivation is just wanting a planet that is a neutral point to aliens and humans to remain safe from a group of alien instigators
2:25 his hand are on thhe back 2:27 now he is holding them
Hands are capable of movement
@@bvnhtbvnht5737 LOL
Name droppin' my hometown! Woot!
That's suppose to be comforting in a humanly limited way.
A huge amount of ink has been spilled and hot air expelled over "what ifs" of history, and almost every argument is some variation of "if only this ONE person had been there", or "if only this ONE decision had been made differently", or "this only happened because this ONE other thing happened." And it's all so much moonshine, because history is always a collection of events, decisions and personalities. So many things have to come together, and outcomes are not limited to two possibilities, they're infinite.
"oh dear i forgot to see this one coming" 😂😂
I love that actor , he killed it
In boardwalk empire
The memorable lines for me from him is that when he tells J that if there's death it will always happen hinting the death of his father
Random guy to a guy with Asperger syndrome: "This is how you see the world? This is amazing!!"
Guy with Asperger syndrome: "It's a gigantic pain in the ass...but it has its moments."
Spot on meme.
No, actually they just showcase how a fork in the road can be used to divert the masses without anyone noticing until it's too late.
This is how I view the present. As a student of history, I recognize that everything that has ever happened, every thought, every word spoken, every action has led to this point here and now. Remove any one thing in history, no matter how small, and our present could be vastly different. We exist as we are because of the past, as our future will be shaped by our present. Infinite possibilities, infinite outcomes.
I just love the fact that he knows how much a baseball change can change the difference
Whenever I see this movie (a bajillion times XD) I think of how Sheldon from BBT would be so happy to meet this guy so he can talk about how String Theory actually exists XD XD XD
I didn't see the movie. Good song.
so thats how arnold rothstein kept wining all his bets!
Yes I often tell folks MIB scenes reveal this and the party scene ....awesome
I don't see how someone with that power could still have a positive outlook or see any moment as important.
Such a underrated flick
He gave more importance to Knowledge than Sense. Had he not, he would have readily known what was more important.
At 2:26 griffin has his arms around J and K at the shoulders, and the next immediate shot, his arms are around a single arm of J and K.
0:54 Sauron whenever somebody puts on the One Ring
such a cool concept but thought it was ridiculous how they chose a baseball game to be his favorite human history moment
Rothstein always said he never placed a wager unless he knew the outcome in advance.
their game began with the object at the heart of things: “The ball.” in 1962... for today.
if everyone in his species is like this, how tf did they lose their planet
They dont know which future is going to happen. To them, there is a chance of invasion every second of the day
The scene had such an impact on me but idk why
It's not enough.
-Bloc party-helicopter
Griffin is such a good actor, like damn is he GOOD!
Nice. Rather than say every possible future branches out from the present, every possible future based upon every possible event in the past coalesces into a single time in the present.
You can visualise it like a cone that fans out from a single point backwards (the past) that wraps around until it’s moving toward the original single point (the future) where it collapses to a single point in time in an endless cycle.
I have the biggest crush on him
I see Arnold Rothstein is fixing the world series again.
The Spalding factory in Chicopee Massachusetts - I remember it well!
Incredible.
Space unicorns
Dude is a fantastic actor.
It works just like that and If you dont see something coming means it wasnt time in the multi wheel machine to pop up....yet you still feel somethings comining like a warning just in time that fits just in time.... its a constant multi wheel machine that works together 24/7/365... day and night (REM and NonREM cycles)
The best part he don't need a "time stone" to do all these.😅🤣
Round ball is aerodynamically flawed 😆
My physics professor once told us that he believed our dreams aren't about ourselves, but rather a connection to our others lives we are living in parallel universes that is actually happening. And why it seems we go from one place and happen to another in an instant in our dreams. We're seeing many at the same time.
I really liked that and actually hope it's true.
I like how they never heard the motorcycle coming
