I can’t understand what people even mean by the term, “fan service,” in a negative context? You’re watching a f*cking sequel people! What are they supposed to do? Make it feature Scooby Doo characters? People have come to see more of what they liked, so you expect, “service,” for the, “fans,” to include as much from the previous movies as possible! I mean, I get when it’s done in a clunky way, only inserted for the sake of recognition, without proper context or meaning to the narrative, but that’s just bad story telling. Fan service is like, “virtue signalling.” A dumb term that makes less sense the more you scrutinise it.
