I’ll say it again, I would’ve liked a reflection and meditation on how to rebuild Germany and reconcile the population while purging the bad after WWII and dealing with the shadow Hitler left. What I got was the return of mecha-zombie-Hitler decades later to destroy the world as revenge.
It’s so clear as a through-line to the saga as well.
Prequels: The dysfunction which leads to tragedy.
Originals: The horror which leads to Rebellion.
Sequels: The wisdom which leads to peace.
Except that the sequels chose to retrench instead of move forward.
