Right?
I can understand the first sequel hype, but it was kinda lame and I just dont see how people are bothering to see the next.
After the first dune, the sequel premier in my town had a whopping total of 13 people show up to watch.
I feel like Avengers normalized multi film continiuity, and people only feel compelled to show up like brand loyalty to a story/franchise.
Which is dumb because most if not all of these franchise films usually have no significant input from the original talent. James Cameron literally showed up to collect a pay check and go home.
I mean then again, people pay for FIFA and NBA2K every year so its not like it's far fetched. But cmon, this is why these media products dont get as heavily criticized compared to genuinely superior alternatives.
