The part that it is a literal bootstrap loop paradox that makes no logical sense. Compare it to Tenet, which one can ponder or discuss endlessly and is not paradoxical. https://medium.com/cinemania/why-arrival-makes-no-sense-efad53bc6e7f

I forgive it bc there is no way of treating time travel that “makes logical sense”. It’s inherently paradoxical. You’re right that Nolan explored the paradox more subtly, but I also don’t think that this was the main objective of Arrival. It achieved its other objectives extremely well.
