Reply to comment by [deleted] in Interstellar - is Coop a terrible father? by [deleted]

I dont think we understand your point of this thread.

Was Coop motivated by his own desire to explore the stars? Absolutely.

Did he also have to go to save the world and his children? Absolutely.

So is he a terrible father, because he is motivated by his own pioneering mindset, while saving the human race? Absolutely not.

I mean it's not exactly a subtle topic in the movie, his father in law even says "Dont do the right thing for the wrong reasons", directly addressing this topic.

after a little re-reading I think OP made this thread to tell us how much he loves his future children

Its such a weird thread. Its like OP imagined himself having kids one day, and now thinks he knows how a father should act in this specific situation

There is no universal standard for how someone should behave in situations like that. Why do you assume what you think is what everyone would think? Your entire thinking is completely binary, not all parents think things the same way and it’s weird that you expect that.
