@bonsai-zone "I like movies presenting basically new ideas and problems" Well then you're shit outta luck because human story-telling has been following the same few basic narrative arcs since Gilgamesh and the Iliad. If you don't have the patience for anything that develops beyond a single film then all I can suggest is - don't watch franchises.

@bonsai-zone "And did they ever develop the characters" Yes. Compare Luke or Han in A New Hope and then compare them at the end of Return of the Jedi. Or compare Sarah Connor at the start of T1 to her in T2, or John Conner at the start of T2 to the end, or the Terminator in T2 at the beginning and the end. Again - you don't seem to be one for seeing beyond the most superficial elements. If you don't like the basic concept that underpins a franchise - then don't watch it. But what exactly is it you expect? A Terminator movie that's a frothy rom-com? A Star Wars movie that's cosy murder mystery in the English countryside? A Bond movie where Bond becomes a gay, tee-total relationship therapist? You shouldn't make a franchise movie for people who don't like the franchise.

It's become a common pattern across the entire "woke" movement: you launch a deliberate and coordinated attack on people, then when those people fight back, you claim victim-hood. "Why do you care?" they sneer as they smash up something you love.

This is why I don't consume corporate media anymore except in rare circumstances: because it's made by people who don't like me, don't like the source material, and see their job as to discredit what went before under the banner of "updating it". As Drinker said in another video - "The Mona Lisa doesn't need you to scrawl a moustache on it in crayon to "update" it". I can't stop them doing it, but I can turn my back and refuse to acknowledge that there is any version other than the original, "non-updated" version.

@bonsai-zone Oh dear oh dear oh dear. The fact that you think "Empire Strikes Back" and "Rise of Skywalker", or "Terminator 2" and "Terminator Dark fate" as "all the same": really does suggest you are not one for discernment or applying quality filters to what you watch. Some of us understand the difference between developing an idea, and pissing all over it.
