Wow the new deepfake took like a day and still looks better than theirs? Jeez.
I think the difference between the prequels and sequels is that one tells a story, and one does not.
No matter how badly the prequels were executed, at least there was a clear story that was being built on. The Sequels are simply a mishmash of ideas with no clear story or message. And for that reason, I don’t think they will ever be remembered fondly.
They had one chance to build a third instalment that tied it together in a nice triad. But instead it was written by hacks.
