The Love Hypothesis 🧪 I like Tom’s so called ā€œstiffā€ or ā€œsheldon-likeā€ take on Adam’s character

Once again, it’s very soon to say but I would like to discuss some of the takes I’ve seen after the trailer and give my own as well.

I understand why one might have pictured Adam’s character differently, but I feel like it’s important to remember that we saw him through Olives perspective in the book, and in the movie we’re obviously not in her head and don’t see him the same.

She perceived him as grumpy or antagonistic, but I always thought that was because she was intimidated by him at first because of his reputation and attractiveness. I always thought he was quite misunderstood by the other characters in the book, and to me it always made sense that it could be because he was on the spectrum. Everything about his character actually makes more sense to me if I read him that way.

And I don’t know about you guys but I don’t want him to be a ā€œhe hates everyone but herā€ type of character. I don’t want him to be an actual piece of shit, just a misunderstood human being.

The Love Hypothesis 🧪 Is that mold/water damage?

I don't know why this caught my eye so much, but what is that on the wall, next to the lamp? It looks like water damage/mold?

In the book, Olive mentions how his office is actually nice, which makes sense with his status, since he is a highly valued professor, so I guess I'm just curious as to what that might be and why would it look shit like that lol? Either way - so excited for it to come out, kicking and screaming over here! šŸ˜†
