The bar scene in my opinion is difficult to interpret. On the one hand, I also think Anna has become too easy by now, but on the other hand, it is also true that the arc of the bar has now been in development for years and has seen gradual corruption
I think the underlying problem is not so much the new characters or the new story arcs but the dynamics themselves. Everything goes the same way now. Every time.
If you take the bar as an example, I think it has been since Patrick “sold” Anna in the bathroom that the story has become stagnant. Same people and same dynamics.
One story arc that is following the same path is in adult films. Too predictable and predictable despite the scenes being very well done.
Benjamin's story arc, on the other hand, again in my opinion, is currently among my favorites. It paved the way for new paths and still has that bit of mystery that intrigues. In the last scene where Anna “agrees” with the two homeless men, there were other hidden observers and that honestly intrigues me.
There are certainly other examples but again, in my opinion it's the dynamics that tire in the long run.
