They made Mr. Glass so smart, it was parody levels of absurd.

Now don't get me wrong, Mr. Glass committed those horrible crimes in "Unbreakable". And you'd have to be pretty damn smart to sabotage all that transportation without getting caught (especially because Mr. Glass didn't actually get caught until David touched Glass' hand and saw the crimes).

But here in "Glass", it felt like they amped it up by 100. It almost felt like "because the plot called for it" levels of absurd, with how he was a thousand steps ahead of everyone. And how he knew every detail of every little thing. Ridiculous.

I bet even L from Death Note would be like..."yeah, this guy is quite impressive", lol.

Well, you can see it that, he knew the contingencies. Or that he could explain them best as they came up. A difference in knowing before versus knowing how to deal at the time. Like in escaping to Kevin/Hedwig's room, for instance, did he know he'd get caught and syringed, was it another calculated step in a playback, or did just not matter?
