I almost feel like that's what's so refreshing, these days NOTHING is sufficiently explained, or you think about their explanation afterwards and think wait a minute that's bullshit in context with this other thing
everything is wishy washy vibes based and you're just supposed to take the movie at its word even if something doesn't make any sense, "wait the broccoli-head man from Captain Falcon America could've left his cell at any time and just didn't, because he's so big-brained that staying imprisoned somehow suited his plans better? fucking what?"
columbo is about rejecting things that don't make sense until only one thing does, the thing that you already saw happen, it's about satisfying resolution
but to be fair it has some spectacularly bad failures along the way too, plenty of times when with the final "evidence" you're like...yeah there's no way this guy is getting found guilty over this
