I love that in all their possible messed-up futures, Bill and Ted are still together &#8211; it&#8217;s never even dreamed that they wouldn&#8217;t be together.  Their daughters Billie and Thea, traveling through time collecting famous musicians like in the first movie, are clearly being set up as the actual chosen-ones who will play the song that heals all of time and space &#8211; so clearly that the actual reveal is less of a &#8220;whoa&#8221; and more of a &#8220;yeah finally&#8221; &#8211; but maybe this was designed to distract us from the movie&#8217;s real twist, that the perfect song Bill &#038; Ted spend all movie (and half their lives) looking for doesn&#8217;t exist.  It doesn&#8217;t matter what they play, as long as they all play it together.  This&#8230; should not have made me cry&#8230; and I&#8217;m not saying it did&#8230; but it&#8217;s been a heavy year, huh?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image20\/billted1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image20\/billted3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>From the original writers and the director of Galaxy Quest.
