*** Maybe he knew the kind of {{Jerkass}} Skinner was and assumed he didn't want the soup served for selfish reasons and chose to satisfy the customer over obeying his boss?

** What possible reason would the waiter have for disobeying Skinner's orders? Skinner is his boss so he'd be naturally predisposed to follow his instructions anyway. And if he hears a panicked cry of 'Stop that soup!' he's going to immediately conclude that there must be a major problem with the soup he's bringing out and if he serves it to a customer he'll end up causing both personal embarrassment to himself as the waiter and damage to the reputation of the restaurant that he works for.

** Sadly, Ego's style is TruthInTelevision. Look at [=YouTube=]. Look at just how many irreparably toxic and anger-themed movie and video game review channels that now infest the site after it became trendy to be immensely hateful towards any kind of media (and not in a satirical, tongue-in-cheek way). These channels work extremely hard at being Negative Nancies, calling everything a failure, wanting entire franchises to collapse just so they can be ravaged by lengthy essays and ragebait thumbnails. These videos get monstrous amounts of views and discourage opposing viewpoints due to their threatening, "us vs. them" tone. Some people absolutely ''love'' to slander things past the point of no return, usually due to the same insecurity and denial that Ego displayed throughout the film. That is, before he finally admitted to his readers he had been narrow-minded and selfish and learned to ''appreciate'' the art he continually defamed and ''respect'' the artist's efforts regardless of whether or not they succeed.

** One must keep in mind that Linguini is 'just' a chef in France. As several moments show in the film, him saying that Remy is the real chef results in people believing that he's insane. Justifiably so - if your species has been essentially ignoring something for millenniums, would one guy, no matter how famous, saying that they're not sound like something reasonable to believe? Not for most people. Of course, this also ties into one of the themes of the movie - acceptance. It doesn't really matter that they're rats (or whatever); what's important is that we accept their contributions to the world and our lives. We don't have to like everything they do but we should not also dismiss for the sake of dismissing (as Ego writes in his review).

* How is it that Ego is revered for being an influential food critic if he's always giving negative or medicore reviews? Surely at some point someone would have to realize that maybe not every restaurant in France is subpar, but that Ego is just a Negative Nancy with possibly poor taste.

** Furthermore giving Remy the credit made it so Ego couldn't simply dismiss the evening later on; he might have thought he was just in a good mood and uncommonly forgiving that night and would have gone right back to being a nasty, impossible-to-please critic. By showing him that Remy made the meal, he was forced to change his entire worldview and learn the importance of appreciation and giving credit where credit is due to encourage improvement instead of deeming everything a failure. There comes a time for everyone where you stop being in denial about how you feel about something and change your mind, and the knowledge that a ''rat'', not a human being, cooked a meal that made him openly happy and grateful did that.
