I mean Scream had Sidney encounter a new killer for like 5 movies in a row. I don’t think it needs to be 100% believable. These slasher series are a bit schlocky.
Then couldn’t he have told an ecological story or some other non-political disaster type of movie? It seems odd to call a movie CIVIL WAR, and then dodge the politics of the situation.
Sorry, but I do think Garland is too apolitical in his framing. We’re just not at a moment in time when we can present a scenario like this without some actual political or societal commentary.
The problem with Ghostbusters is that it’s not a franchise. Calling it a franchise implies it has multiple entries people love, but all the nostalgia is really just for the original movie.
