- benj111 4y agoDidn't know there were sequels. Don't think I'd want to watch them though. I'm sure they feel the need to explain things, and the good thing about the cube is that it's never explained. Rant. Why do films insist on explaining things that don't need to be explained. Shutter Island would have been a better film without the last 5 minutes answering the question as to whether he's insane. Even blade runner, why does deckard have to be human, it's much more interesting when the question is open. Same for the sequel.
- psychphysic 4y ago> Why do films insist on explaining things that don't need to be explained. Yeah an utterly baffling trend. I hadn't linked the two but you're right of course the same trend to add explanatory scenes and to simplify open plot points. Worse still when they retroactively change the plot! Or scenes to fit a sequel. Some major examples that come to mind is Avatar being changed to accommodate a sequel - in an entirely unnecessary way by adding a post credit scene in the style of MCU. Last of Us 2 just replaying incorrectly last of us scenes and then the remaster being changed to suit. Sometimes I think it's simply lazy writing or when a story outdoes the talent of its creator. I did like the reveals in knives out because they genuinely add new info and suddenly many dynamics that were rich and understandable became very different yet rich and understandable.
