Something I didn’t notice the first time in Inside Out 2: In Riley’s Mom’s Headquarters it’s Sadness that’s the largest emotion and the one in control of the console instead of Joy. Low-key one of the most soul-crushing things I’ve seen in a movie in a while!
That's true in the first movie too. It's a neat bit of characterization the movie doesn't spell out. I also really respect what we learn about the mom and dad in how their emotions interact: Sadness basically runs a committee, but the dad's lead emotion is Anger and he runs things like the military.
