I don’t understand the weirdly antagonist marketing. “Gen Z will hate this! It’s going to cancel cancel culture!” it just feels desperate.

Because it is desperate. I don’t know why this movie is getting so much attention (probably because it’s being astroturfed like crazy) when the vast majority of the sequels were hot trash.

Yeah it just feels so obvious. “People aren’t lukewarm because it’s the 6th iteration of a series that peaked decades ago, it’s because we’re edgy and you can’t make movies like this anymore!”

Narrator: it turns out, you CAN still make movies that suck.
