My brother, sister, and I all sawTwisterstogether.
It was a choice rooted in the warm haze of nostalgia.
It was so deep in the dunes that it didnt even have a mailbox, much less cable.
Glen Powell as Tyler Owens inTwisters.
When the lights came up two hours later, we all eagerly agreed:That was great!
Better than the original!
My brother had several reasons for this.
Daisy Edgar Jones laughs at a joke made by Glen Powell.
For starters, the special effects.
Its amazing,he said, the way technology has advanced.
You felt like you were in the tornadoes.
Fans gaze upon Glen Powell in New York City.
Totally, my sister responded.
Also, Glen Powell.
Yes, hes a good actor.
And amaaaaan, I added.
My brother attempted to segue into questions about the science, but it was too late.
His sisters were on a roll:The scene of him in a T-shirt?
The scene of him protecting Daisy Edgar-Joness Kate from a tornado?
The scene of him protecting a mother and child from a tornado?
The scene of him protecting an old lady from a tornado?
We said our goodbyes at the subways service entrance.
Yet my sister and I kept texting.Why didnt he and Kate kiss?
How dare they not kiss?
Do we think theres going to be a sequel where they kiss?
Id seen hundreds of my films with attractive leading men.
I scrolled back through my messages with my sister.
One made me pause:Glen Powell is so good at being manly,but also sensitive.
In a strange way, it reminded me of something.
Was Glen Powell…a male version of the manic pixie dream girl?
She has no needs of her own.
Enter Glen Powells Tyler Owens.
We vaguely learn hes from Arkansas…but thats about it.
Where did his encyclopedic knowledge about weather patterns, atmospheric properties, and meteorology come from?
How is his Dodge Ram souped up with state-of-the-art technology?
Hes a cowboy-hatted bad boy with his heart on his sleeve.
Hes a wildly successful YouTuber with millions of followers, but he doesnt care about the money.
In fact, he gives it away to people whose livelihoods were destroyed by storms.
Daisy Edgar Jones laughs at a joke made by Glen Powell.
(They never do explain how he got her address.)
Yet Tyler somehow hasexactly the right programon his computer to run her experiment safely.
If you feel it, chase it, whispers Kate as he stares into her eyes.
He wouldand coulddo anything to save you but doesnt imply that youneedsaving.
(He knows you are a strong independent woman, but its okay to lean on him sometimes.
)He provides for you, yet requires you to make no sacrifice in return.
He tolerates all your moods and even thinks theyre cute.
He also has no baggage.
it’s possible for you to, however, fall in love with Glen Powells Tyler Owens.
Fans gaze upon Glen Powell in New York City.
Female characters without much basis in reality are a Hollywood fixture, and at some level, itsfine.
But as the saying goesif you cant beat em, join em.
This weekend, Im going to seeTwistersagain.
Im going to watch Glen Powell walk outside in a white T-shirt that gently gets soaked in rain.
Im going to watch him gaze upon Daisy Edgar-Jones with the utmost attention.
Im going to watch him do some science I dont understand while flexing his biceps.
Afterwards, Ill text my guy friends.
Ill ask them if they want to grab a drink.
womens gymnastic team,Kamala Harris and the glass cliff, pilates.
Finally, I will ask them if theyve seenTwisters.
They will offer their commentary.
Then: Glen Powell, Ill say.
Hes just not like other boys.
