  • The entire point of fanservice was to give small nods to people who are really familiar with a franchise, but we’ve reached a point where studios are so creatively bankrupt that the entire move is just fanservice because they literally don’t want to bother making anything original.

    Matrix 4 is a prime example. A total wankfest of “Remember this? Remember this? Remember this?”. What were they thinking?

    Another non-superhero example was Kingsman 2, when they brought a popular character back to life just to exist in the movie again. A lot of recent sequels feel like they’re just digging out parts of the previous movies and just doing them again. I’ll see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice when it hits digital but I also am extremely suspicious it’s going to just be “Beetlejuice 1 again”.
