seems like i read something to the effect that DiCaprio made a lot of suggestions to give depth to his character, and that the movie as initially written really was more just-the-gimmick. i hated Tenet; i imagine Inception without likable (edit - or at least interesting) characters would have felt more like that.

That makes a ton of sense and I feel the same way you do.

I fondly remember the characters from Inception and felt drawn into their plight in the bizarre dream world with its own rules.

I only saw Tenet once...but felt like the main character(s) were simply a pair of pants to walk the viewer through the ideas...backwards, half of the time. XD
