Most ridiculous plot point (spoiler)


The most absurd outcome in the whole conclave movie…..isn’t that they selected an intersex person as the next pope…..it’s that a relatively small and insular group like that would choose someone that none of them had met or heard of 72 hours before.

When I saw it, I was fine with it all, but with passing time, I agree there is zero chance some random would get chosen. They didn't even vet him all that well—especially since the Pope secretly made him a Cardinal. They threw out some background info that absolutely zero people in the Vatican knew about. He gave one inspiring speech, and boom, he's in.
