another thing that really gets me about Excellent Adventure is how obvious it is that Bill and Ted have fundamentally misunderstood the basis of the assignment they’re faced with — the number of textbooks they leave school with, the desperate collecting of Facts about the historical figures in question, and the “are you gonna call someone and get the answers?” question they pose to Rufus, even the fact that Bill calls it a “history review” instead of a “report” — like they’re studying for a Test instead of preparing for what is, basically, a creative writing assignment. A miscommunication/misunderstanding that should be easily corrected, but isn’t, that really highlights how neglected/unsupported they are in like, every aspect of their lives
