My therapist thinks something like this:
Asteroid City is showing that nothing actually means anythingโ and despite that, humans expect EVERYTHING to mean something both individually and in a series, and regardless of how many times humans are presented with meaninglessnessโ thereโs still widespread denial that the outcome is, in fact, all there is.

Additionally, I think itโs a waste of extraordinarily talented actors and really tedious to get through, except, perhaps, if youโre tripping.
