Nice listicle, but would have been better to write something inciteful as to why all these sequels failed so hard.
It wasn't just the cash grab, but a fundamental misunderstanding of what made the previous film great.
Kids loved watching the original RoboCop because it was R rated. It was a comic book film with gore and guns. It was illicit.
Then they turned him into a cartoon character for kids.
Police academy became a paradox of itself. You could argue that the public perception of the police had changed significantly between the original and Mission to Moscow too. It was no longer funny to be entertained by the thought of inept police.
Anyway, that's just off the top of my head.
I'm gonna be that guy:
insightful is the right word here. As in "full of insight".
Incite is pronounced the same but it refers to instigating or provoking, e.g. "incite a riot", so something that's insightful could also be inciteful if you're inferring something embarrassing about someone to try to start a fight
Thanks, that guy.
