Would you agree that the canonical inclusion of this would have made it a better film? That's mostly why I brought it up. Clearly the speculation was always there, but no one once asked whether this actually improves the film or not. I'm under the impression that it does majorly. It's a larger payoff that brings things full circle.

I certainly think it does and I’m totally fine with it not being confirmed cause it gives us a lot more to talk about, same as the ending to Inception, both have tons of hints and clues pointing to the answer but not getting it up front is a great choice in my opinion.

That was the big one I was missing. Thanks, I knew there was one!
There's just no way that's coincidence.
The difference is Inception's payoff already feels grander and more tangible for audiences.KEM wrote: ↑September 14th, 2020, 1:36 amI certainly think it does and I’m totally fine with it not being confirmed cause it gives us a lot more to talk about, same as the ending to Inception, both have tons of hints and clues pointing to the answer but not getting it up front is a great choice in my opinion.

And just as you said, people end up loving it more once they learn about it. Think about the 99.91% of audience members who aren't even aware of the thought.
It seems like a lot of people have a problem with the ending because
Dialogue from the screenplay:
Imagine Dunkirk ending with Tommy saying, "I wonder how my father Farrier is doing"MuffinMcFluffin wrote: ↑September 14th, 2020, 1:50 amThe difference is Inception's payoff already feels grander and more tangible for audiences.KEM wrote: ↑September 14th, 2020, 1:36 amI certainly think it does and I’m totally fine with it not being confirmed cause it gives us a lot more to talk about, same as the ending to Inception, both have tons of hints and clues pointing to the answer but not getting it up front is a great choice in my opinion.

I feel it's better as the maybe-sorta-wink-wink, maybe-sorta-nudge-nudge thing that it is now.

Yeah, I can see what you're saying.
I would need to see it in action, though, to make sure.
TENET: The MuffinMcFluffin Cut. Coming soon!

I'm telling you, it just takes one word... and it's not "Tenet," lol.
How about having Neil unnamed throughout the film like the Protag (and like with the Protag, don't make it obvious that we don't know his name).
Then at the end/ending shot, show the red string tied to Max's backpack, tying it all together literally and figuratively.
