Occasionally I've watched movies with people, and been stunned at their totally flat interpretations of scenes.
One friend, who I love, made some comments that stunned me. To be fair, this was back when we were in middle school. Neither of us had taken any classes in analyzing literature (or cartoons). Fantasia 2000's Pines of Rome is a beautiful animation about flying whales. They fly up into the sky, where they arrive a sort of heavenly sea. But because the whales ended up leaping out of the water, she decided that they hadn't actually gone anywhere. To me it seemed so obvious that they had reached a special land (sea) in the sky. I think I was wondering where her sense of imagination was XD
But the funnies one was when we watched X-Men 2. At one point, Magneto says, "you are a god among insects." And she decided that in the next X-Men movie, giant insects would take over!
That's not what that phrase means! It's possible she was teasing, but I don't think so.
