In Jupiter Ascending, the main character starts out as a maid. Later, she

Finds out she owns the earth

Shouldn't that change her socioeconomic status? Why does she keep scrubbing toilets?

    The answer to this question (and indeed ever other Jupiter Ascending question) is that the film is a badly written mess

I thought it was obvious. Humility. She never wants to be like the others. They disgust her.

Balem Abrasax: [scoffing] No, my mother never cleaned a toilet in her life.

Jupiter Jones: Maybe that was her problem

she is probably dealing with PTSD = post traumatic stress disorder and doing what she is familiar with to ground herself and get her mind in order before she does whatever is necessary to ensure the survival/ non harvesting of earth

They also assumed it would do well enough to warrant a sequel which would have shown her being a Commonwealth Universal Revolutionary/ Entitled trying not to live the decadent life of an entitled

    Do you have any evidence for this supposed sequel?
