I got back and I read this and was all YAY YAY YAY and then had to charge back out again for another tutorial... and now I have forgotten what I wanted to comment back about.
I love how you categorised your thoughts according to timeline and assumption/evidential. There came a point when I realised that I couldn't really tell which parts of my Inception knowledge was canon or fanon. ...I do know that one of my favourite bits of speculation was the idea that Arthur's last name is Arthur. I think. Or was it that 'Arthur' is Eames' first name too. Hm. Or that Saito is badass and has yakuza links. Oh wait, I think that's a fact.
(Based on what I remember jumped out at me) - I agree with your thoughts on the nature of working in the industry - I don't think they normally form teams in the way Arthur and Cobb have. There are definitely associates, but I like your observation that it would be hard to establish trust or make proper friends if you're dealing with the subconscious. I like your imagination! lololol. Except that Yusuf died. ): Why! Perhaps he pretended to die so he could hide from pursuers. And Ariadne becoming one of the best just warms the cockles of my heart.
Ahahah. Thank you for coming back at all, even if you didn't remember what you wanted to say <3
There came a point when I realised that I couldn't really tell which parts of my Inception knowledge was canon or fanon. YES. And I hate when that happens! The thing with the Inception fandom is that there are so many points on which nearly the whole fandom agrees that are absolutely not in the movie that it's very easy to get confused (main one being EAMES IS A PERVERTED FLIRT WHO WEARS ONLY PAISLEY. The heck?! I will never stop being outraged by this.)
Arthur last name being Arthur, ahahaha, I loved that one too. And then he would have a very common and utterly unexciting and not elegant American first name (like, I don't know, Kevin or Donald or Larry) and everybody would be shocked. Arthur as Eames first name is fun, too (although I am completely following the movement here and would go for William.) About Saito, was there ever any doubt?
Yusuf, yes! I. I don't know why he had to die, it just seemed to make sense, somehow? My apologies. I kind of like Yusuf because he's sort of funny and he's Eames' bro, yo, but he's not exactly the reliable type and although he's all "I rarely go into the field, Mr Cobb" in the beginning, he clearly has lots of fun in his level (in that "omg we're all going to die" sort of way) so I can see him trying again with another team and, well, not be so lucky this time around, I suppose. If you think about it, Yusuf would be quite easy to find, anyway. He has his lab and his den, is clearly settled. He cannot just disappear the way Arthur or Cobb can/would. And I don't think he would ever think that he needs to. ...actually, the only one who's always on the run is Cobb, huh. Obvious much. *facepalm* ANYWAY (why is it so easy to get carried away?) Ariadne! Ariadne is awesome! She is better than Cobb! /o/
