Valid and it fits the narrative being shown through the movie. I just didn't like having to think about the shootings and the loss the character went through even if it does the job of displaying the absurd world the people are living in.

It doesn't make it a bad movie, I definitely still enjoyed it, I was just caught off guard by how it made me feel.
