Core to the argument and interpretation I'm making about Everything Everywhere All at Once is as a rejection of the necessity of conventional career success, particularly as it applies to Asian Americans. As it applies to worldbuilding, there's an interesting parallel between the entrenchment of STEM careers as a means of achieving acceptance by Asian American immigrants, as well as the recent emergence of more prominent Asian American writers and artists as well as their works, breaking the model minority and nerd molds and imagining new means of expression and of becoming accepted.
