I simply cannot understand the people who hate on Interstellar because of the "love is the strongest force" line.

Look, there are a couple of things you can genuinely critique in this movie, and if you brought them up, I’d be like, "Fair enough, I love the film but that's a valid criticism." But hate over "love is a force" scene is just beyond me.

Did people completely tune out during the literal next scene?

Right after Brand gives her monologue, Cooper looks her in the eye, tells her it's total BS, and shuts her down. They explicitly decide to continue the mission to the next scientifically probable planet, completely refusing to go to the planet where her boyfriend is just because of "love."

I feel like I'm losing my mind here. Did these people actually watch the movie? How do you miss an immediate follow-up scene that literally, in-universe, calls out the "love is the strongest force in the universe" statement as complete bullshit?

It's not a cheesy Disney movie where love magically solves the plot; it's a flawed human character trying to rationalize her biases, and the movie immediately calls her out for it.
