Just because it's a sequel doesn't mean it's derivative. All 5 movies are directed by the same guy. I can't speak for the first 3, but if you saw the 2015 movie and couldn't tell that it was a passion project, then I don't know what to tell you. We don't call Sherlock Holmes soulless even though Doyle wrote over 50 short stories starring Holmes.

It's entirely possible for someone to be creatively invested in a world they've built and want to keep exploring it in future works.

I agree to a point, but Mad Max is an example of something original that seems to have come from a place of creativity instead of a committee and yet is still doing poorly.

So I don't think it's just that Hollywood has a tendency to do remakes instead of original stuff.

Expect to see memes about it too in other communities. This'll be the front page of most fediverse instances in some fashion for the rest of the day I imagine

Honestly, I'd be down for that. I love dogs

He was Paul Allen in American Psycho, though I don't know how successful that was at release.

I've only seen a few episodes of TNG, but mine is Q is lame and unenjoyable. Maybe he gets better as the show goes on, but having the first episode involve him was a bad decision.

Fair enough! I still prefer the implied version, but it's definitely nice to have alternatives.

Also, I haven't kept up with SF6. I was surprised Akuma wasn't a launch character.

I'm seeing a lot of his moves from 3rd Strike, which is nice. Not a fan of that raging demon though. I still think it's better the less of it you see and the more of it that's implied.

In my city, it looks like the showings for the first film are at 3:30/4 pm on a Friday. I wish they had been able to get a later start time for at least the Friday movie...

Is the 35th anniversary the release of 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy on the Switch? I'd say the artificial scarcity aspect to induce fomo wasn't any better. It might have even been worse.

I would suggest looking at other Kbin instances outside of kbin.social. or look to mbin, which is a fork that in told is more stable. I also haven't made the jump from Kbin, but have been having similar issues with usability with it for awhile.

I'm pretty sure it shows up in Kbin 's search, which is how I found it.
