What if I told you, having an alternate timeline where Charlie had never become smarter is the better choice? In my opinion, having Charlie stay as the little dumb goofball would be more beneficial for him. When his brain started regressing, his smartness started to deteriorate and so did his memories. The operation even made him forget the most obvious things such as his name and where he lives (“A policeman had to take me home.”). Furthermore, the worst part is that he is well aware of this happening and is watching himself decay each day knowing he cannot escape the inevitable.

Johnny, seen as the town’s trouble-maker, steals Janie’s first kiss under the iconic pear tree. This could be seen as a bump on Janie’s journey because deep down she knows he is not someone who will treat her the way she deserves, but her amazement by love is still too new to resist the
