Rage Against the Sequel of the Light

We’re in an age where returning to long-admired universes with long-awaited (and not awaited) sequels is the passion du jour. From Blade Runner 2049 to Prometheus (yes it’s an Alien prequel, Ridley) and Alien: Covenant (unless you’d rather forget that one), from the upcoming three Avatar sequels that it really doesn’t seem anyone’s clamoring for to the next Terminator film scrapping everything after Judgment Day, more Indiana Jones, more Star Wars, more Toy Story, even a sequel to Mary freakin’ Poppins! Where will it all end? Is it a good thing? Have we passed the “I can’t believe they’re going there” point and are we instead now in the “WTF are they smoking?” phase? We’ll discuss the topic and attempt to find some answers.
