We’re meant to think that sped-up media education, plus some programming tweaks David makes himself, explain her subsequent aberrant behavior.
And it does so long before she goes full Glenn Close, jealously imperiling anyone who might come between her and David.
But all concerned deserve better material to work with, and “Soulm8te” does not raise expectations that the “M3GAN” universe will aim any higher than competent but disposable genre fodder.
