Does Rihanna not exist in this universe?
Now that she’s a college graduate, she has a job as an assistant at a publishing house.
That’s where we begin.

Also, Christian gets in a helicopter crash but he survives.
Still, just because movies are boring doesn’t mean we don’t have questions about them.
“Tea, right?”
he says as he drops off the cup.
“Weak, black?”
Ana thanks himhe got her order right.
In what social circumstance would that information ever be revealed?
And why would she specify that she wants her tea weak?
Imagine being 22 and going to a job interview for a position you really want.
Someone asks you if you want a cup of coffee or tea.
Instead of politely declining, you say yes,and then add specifications.
How does Jack know how she takes her tea?!
Ana doesn’t even ask him how he knows how she likes her tea.
Wow, they kept Danny Elfman?
A real question I asked out loud to myself as the opening credits appeared!
Yes, Danny Elfman does the score for theFifty Shades of Greymovies.
Why would Anastasias roommate send her a video message?
This movie came out in 2014:maybeAna’s roommate would have sent her a Snapchat video.
and answered to herself, “I know, a one-way video message!”
If she gets internet access to send a video, she has the ability to Skype or FaceTime.
And how does Kate not know that Ana and Christian broke up?
From what we’ve seen, Kate is her only friend.
She is close enough with Kate to kiss her on the head, and share sandwiches.
She didn’t tell her that the only major relationship in her life ended?
Kate’s lack of knowledge is especially weird given she’s dating Christian’s brother.
Did Christian not tell his family they broke up either?
Why does Christian continue to let Anastasia associate with Jose?
Christian has literally two personality traits: he’s into BDSM, and he’s incredibly protective.
He was so aggressive that Christian had to physically force him away from her.
Yet in this movie, Christian does not say awordabout Anastasia’s continued friendship with him!
He is financing his art career!
What does Ana think the S in S&M stands for?
He said he was going to spank her six times.
He spanked her six times.
She never said either of her safe words, and then got furious that he was turned on.
She broke up with him.
Sadism is literally what the S in S&M stands for.
Does Rihanna not exist in this universe?
It is a fairly common sexual fetish.
“You were getting off on the pain you inflicted!
“I’m working on it!”
I’m a sadist,” he says, head hung.
That’s not… aworsething in a consensual sexual context.
Christian buys herANOTHER computer?
Didn’t he just get her a new computer in the last movie?
How many computers does a 22-year-old need?
What is she doing with these computers to go through them so fast?
Does she have to ride a log flume to get to work every day?
I thought Anastasias favorite author was Hardy?
Did the person writing this movie not see the last one?
Wasnt Ana amazing at making breakfast?
What is Ana’s personality?!
Okay,howexactly is Anastasia different from the other girls?
“You’re different from the other girls!”
How, exactly, is Ana different from the other girls?
She is a 22-year-old English major who works as an assistant.
She’s pretty, and seems smart enough, but she’s notextraordinaryat anything.
She needed him to go super easy on her and didn’t want to engage as a submissive.
Is that why she’s different?
Because she’s not interested in BDSM?
Is that what he’s wanted in a partner this whole time?
This is not the basis of a healthy relationship.
Anastasia should really wear her underwear above her garter belt.
This is a comment, not a question, but it still stands.
That lingerie includes stockings and a garter belt, which Anastasia puts onover her underwear.
Again, not a question, just a comment.
How did the lipstick not get all over Christians shirt?
Part of Christian being Complicated and Damaged is that he won’t let anyone touch his body.
How did it not smudge on his shirt?
How was the shirt not stained red?
How did the lipstick not bleed through the fabric?
I do not understand.
Why doesnt Anastasia mention to Christian that the trip to New York is for the Book Expo?
Besides, Ana and Jack already work together in Seattle every single day.
Christian makes it sound like Jack invited her for a sightseeing trip.
“Wouldn’t you rather see New York with me?”
And it’s like, sure, but there is this event she has to attend for her job.
Isnt it creepy that Christian named his boat after his mom?
The boat is named The Grace.
His adoptive mom is named Grace.
We know he has weird mother issues around his birth mother, but this is weird too, yes?
In what universe do editors meetings work that way?
What if we published this book I liked from an author who has a very established platform online?"
She is a Genius and everyone loves her.
Publishing companies do not work that way.
Publishing companies have weekly acquisition meetings where editors can bring in presentations about manuscripts they want to acquire.
They publish some sure things and some riskier new books to have a diverse portfolio.
And this is an independent publishing house!
The “I” stands for Independent.
What independent publishing house doesn’t take on new authors?
HOW DOES SHE GET A JOB AS SENIOR EDITOR?!
Forgive me for shouting, it’s just I am furious.
Anastasia has been working at this company for about a year or less.
Jobs don’t transfer loyalty like the goddamn Elder Wand.
Does this company havenojunior or associate editors?
Or no one they want to hire from an outside company?
Maybe someone withanyeditorial experience?
“Am I expected to call you Ms. Hannah politely asks the woman who just weeks before had been her subordinate.
This is secretly a film about racism.
Literally imagine this scenario from Hannah’s perspective for one second.
You’ve been working at this job for a while.
They hire this new random white girl whose rich boyfriend buys the company.
I would sue the building itself.
What information did Jack Hyde get from taking a picture of the photo of Christians family?
Sure, it’s creepy, but why did he do that?
Why did he need a photograph of the Grey family?
They’re basically public figuresthey’re very famous and successful.
Christian has two prominent adoptive parents and two socialite siblings.
This is all information that someone could find very easily online.
I thought that too.
Nope, no house is visible in the background.
Did he print out that picture just so he could do that?
What a waste of toner for petty dramatics!
