I can’t even process what’s going on with the reflection in the mirror being from an angle at about head height over the bed. I like that they didn’t even trust teen gamers to understand the allusion of a woman standing in a bedroom doorway without comping in this extra element.

In order to make the reflection work the bed would have to be angled against the wall.

It's funny how the brain instantly notices that the perspective is nonsensical but can't really pinpoint the issue ^^

It'd also need to be pressed against the mirror I think....?

Yup it sure looks like it.

Not if you're a literalist exec that saw the creative and didn't think it was clear enough - "where's the target audience? How are they going to see themselves in this ad?, she's clearly out of our average user's league"
