I wished we got that scene
This may not be very important but I've always pictured the scene with his friend Marissa at the restaurant for steaks every Thursday. For me it's kind of important because we get the origin of the petrova line which was missing to me. We could also get Grace's character development and see them eat steaks lol. It might not be too long, 5-10 min would be totally fine.
The movie starts straight with him as a teacher and a bunch of kids asking questions about the petrova line and the things going on but the audience doesn't have a clue what's going on and Grace briefly explains it, but it does not really sink in as that scene would have.
When I first read that part it felt so interesting and I was so curious to know what was going on. But like I said it's minor to the story and I just always imagined it in my head. That was the start of the story to me. My guess is that we don't see her anymore after that hence why they thought it was pointless to add her in the first place. But still it would add a warm element to the plot.
Marissa and Dr Lokken are the short relationships which are quickly forgotten but still pretty nice to think about in Grace's life. They literally met very week for steaks!
What do you guys think?
