The scripting of the ad was in alignment with the plot of the game. Kratos has been put in a compromising spot. He has to make tough decisions regarding Atreus with an impending war that threatens Asgard and its people.
What was the breakthrough that LeBron James got?
It was hilarious when Stiller asked James what was bothering him behind his invisible headband. James replied, “Bronny said he’d rather play against me than with me.” He made a gun gesture to his heart and said it was a “shot in the heart”. Bronny questioned his dad sarcastically. Ben Stiller held on to that and declared that was the “LeBreakthrough“. Travolta was seemingly enlightened.
