Yeah I don't know if all of y'all being flabbergasted by woman being able to show emotional empathy despite her own problems is really the look you think it is.
The joke is more how her issues are completely sidelined in favour of his, which is even more ridiculous considering she lost everything. I view it as a jab at the misogyny embedded in the narrative telling of the time.
i think you're giving 70s filmmakers too much credit
Pretty sure all their issues are sidelined because they're about to be destroyed by a giant death laser.
The meme is literally about something that is not the giant death laser about to distort them.
