    No, but it shouldn’t be surprising that there are a ton of sequels and remakes when even the people who complain about there being too many sequels and remakes are asking for them.

    They were just pointing out the irony.

      >if you want only one sequel of a specific movie, you’re not allowed to dislike sequels in general

      I don’t think they really wanted a sequel to that movie, I think they were just saying it teased a bunch of interesting stuff in its trailer but then never actually did any of that stuff in its plot, probably because the producers wanted to make everyone buy a ticket to a Battle Angel sequel that never happened, which is just another facet of how the film industry’s obsession with sequels and fictional universes is leading to the downward spiral they talk about in their other comment

      It honestly feels like this post was put together by an LLM that just saw the word “sequel” in two different sentences but didn’t have any ability to read context and just figured it must be ironic

        If they want another movie to continue the story, they want a sequel.

        Some sequels are good, like the Lord of the Rings trilogy which includes two sequels because the whole story has a lot to it. Some sequels are bad, because they continue an already completed story and may even retcon some of the original story.

        They want good sequels, not bad sequels. They still wanted a sequel.
