Steph's betrayel, Oxytocin, and a better ending

So I wrote this in different threads, but I want a thread just for this.




*SPOILERS*







Steph removed her TiMER after already having a countdown. Her soulmate looked at his TiMER one day and felt his heart break because his true love gave up on him. Her actions weren't just affecting her life, to make her be able to love others and take chances on a-not-so-true-love, but she made a choice that truly and deeply hurt someone she WILL meet that IS The One. I think that was uncalled for-- since she already committed her life to him when she got the timer. I get her pain, but her pushing that pain onto someone who loves her is so selfish.

There is no arguing with the TiMER, you can argue it makes life suck more for many, but you can't argue that it works with the events shown in the film. The TiMER measure destiny and in this fantasy film, destiny is fact.

I would have wanted for them to have shown Steph meeting her soulmate and seeing what she did to him. She's going to meet him anyways since it's her destiny, and they both will likely notice when their eyes meet and they have that knowing feeling and they see eachother's wrists, and it's the day that was foretold. That would have been the ending that would have been better than Oona's ending with Dan. They could have kept that up in the air-whether Dan and Oona got together, and just flashed 15 years into the future, and I would have been happy. a scene at the end of the credits would be great for this.

Though, I'd also have liked for the TiMER to be explained metaphysically instead of scientifically with this oxytocin dribble. It sounded like it only would make sense if it was a direct link to God, as another IMDb user said. Like God designed the machine and gave it to a religious prophet. Or someone stole the design from God, like Pandora's box. It measures destiny, and destiny can't be explained by science.
