First off I think it’s weird because Dave seems totally annoyed with the comic book debate at the beginning but then gives that as a reason for the robot to come back saying he liked them. I think you need to establish that Dave enjoys these conversations while they are happening rather than have him say later that he enjoyed the comic arguments. Especially when the only argument you show Dave clearly is annoyed! So here’s my idea to fix it. Clearly you can do something else, but I really feel you should address this problem. Here’s why I propose: Robot is working on a thesis for a talk he’s giving about the similarity of Batman and Daredevil at the next big ComicCon! Here’s how it would change things!

The movie could start with them in the car (or even in the grocery store?) having a good time talking about comics. Then they get home Dave says something like let’s do our chores. Then there is a montage of Dave doing a bunch of different chores while robot is just standing there discussing comics. Eventually Dave gets upset and tells him that when he said let’s do the chores he didn’t mean let’s watch me do the chores. Then Robot says that he has just got a lot of new ideas on his talk and needs to process them but he just goes and reads comics or types up his talk(the idea of a robot typing on a typewriter seems really funny to me right now).

THEN later during the sad montage you should have Dave going into a comic book store and walking out with a Batman Book or perhaps another DC title. And when robot is on the street his talk paper gets destroyed somehow, or he destroys it himself. Then we they get back together Dave should add some mind blowing wisdom into the daredevil/batman debate, that gets robot really excited, and they walk off discussing comics again.

Like I said, obviously you wouldn’t have to use these particular things but I think it would help the screenplay to flow more and tie it all together! Also, I really like the idea of Robot living next door, and I am really excited to see this made/the revisions you do to it!
