This is an ice cold take that was outdated 15 years ago, but boy am I sick of new installments in a franchise just omitting the number from the title despite not being a new continuity. It feels like a marketing choice and just really annoys me. I fully acknowledge that it is completely inconsequential, I’m just petty about it for some reason.
It feels like an attempt to get people to forget that a bunch of bad sequels were made or something. It’s sequelwashing 😂
In the case of Scary Movie, given that this series is mostly spoofing contemporary horror films, embracing the fresh boot / reboot naming convention is basically their way of agreeing with you completely, only doing it in a lighthearted way rather than butt hurt way.
It makes it so damn hard to look up the original AND the new installment
they are literally trying to soft reboot everything to sell it again. they dont want you to find the other one.
Before it’s out it’ll be <movie title> (<year>)
But at least it’s not the 7th of 10 saw movies, Saw 3D: The Final Chapter
Holy photoshop.
I just hope it’s a fun watch, not fit the cinema, but at home with a group of friends
