Patrick Replies – Anatomy Of A Legacy Sequel

0:03 Hello and welcome back to Patrick

0:05 Replies, the show on our second channel

0:08 where I, Patrick, reply to your

0:10 questions and comments about the latest

0:12 video.

0:13 Uh, as January goes on, we

0:15 continue to catch up on all the episodes

0:19 from the last season.

0:21 And today finally we are discussing the first part of our

0:26 legacy sequels duology.

0:30 Yeah.

0:30 Is is that what we're calling it?

0:31 Legacy sequels part one.

0:33 Our anatomy of legacy sequel I think is a title.

0:38 I don't know.

0:38 YouTube titles just always a

0:40 nightmare to come up with.

0:41 But anyway, we're talking about legacy sequels.

0:44 And then in the next episode of this show,

0:46 we will talk more about legacy sequels

0:48 because there's a lot to say.

0:50 Right up top, let me think about what's happened

0:52 since I last shot one of these.

0:54 Any news about the channel?

0:55 No.

0:55 I continue to take time off, catch up on sleep, relax,

1:00 watch movies, even playing some video

1:02 games, but we'll talk about video games

1:03 later.

1:04 Uh, what happened?

1:05 I went to the

1:05 New York Film Critic Circle Awards Gala.

1:08 I think this is like the fourth time

1:09 I've been.

1:10 To be clear, I'm not a

1:11 member.

1:11 My good friend Saddla is a

1:13 member, and as a member, he gets to

1:15 bring some guests, and I am one of his

1:17 guests.

1:17 Uh, it's a fun night where

1:18 there's famous people there.

1:20 Uh, and uh, and I generally don't talk to them cuz I

1:24 don't have anything to say.

1:25 Yeah.

1:25 Wow.

1:25 That really isn't much of a story.

1:26 You get to see Ethan Hawk step in a

1:28 fountain.

1:30 That's fun.

1:31 That's fun.

1:31 But I have no footage of that.

1:32 So, why am I

1:33 even talking about it?

1:34 Anyway, there's like no housekeeping to do also because

1:37 the last two episodes of Patrick replies

1:39 haven't been released yet.

1:41 And so, I don't know what anyone has has said

1:43 about them.

1:44 So, when we come back for

1:46 the new season of the show, should we

1:48 keep doing the Patrick replies?

1:50 Do Do people like these?

1:52 We'll be caught up so

1:53 it won't be like, you know, five

1:55 episodes behind like this big weight on

1:57 my shoulders like it's been for the last

1:59 2 years.

2:00 Yeah.

2:00 Should we should we bring

2:01 it back?

2:01 Are these fun?

2:02 Should we change it in any ways?

2:04 Is there a way we could

2:05 do these better?

2:06 I don't know.

2:06 I I I I

2:08 really don't know.

2:09 And also, how would

2:10 you let me know?

2:11 Because like I don't

2:12 read the comments.

2:13 I don't go to the

2:13 subreddit anymore.

2:15 Actually, I will just

2:16 say if you join the Patreon, which you

2:18 know really helps support the channel

2:19 and pay everyone who works on it, then

2:21 you'll get access to the Discord.

2:22 And the Discord is really like one of the

2:25 only maybe the only place that I

2:28 regularly interact with the audience.

2:31 So yeah, join the Patreon and thus the

2:33 Discord.

2:34 It's fun.

2:34 You'll be happy you

2:35 did.

2:35 Anyway, let's move on to the

2:36 comments pulled from the YouTube comment

2:38 section on this video by Elliot Gammons.

2:41 Our first comment comes from Von Uelman

2:44 who says, "Godzilla was doing selective

2:46 sequels a full decade before Halloween

2:49 H2O." I'm sure it was, but as we have

2:53 established in many a video over the

2:56 years, the the Godzilla franchise, as in

2:58 like the the like Toho Japanese Godzilla

3:01 franchise, is a major blind spot for me.

3:03 I have seen barely any of the movies and

3:06 despite it being in the topic tournament

3:09 both times we've done it, it didn't win.

3:12 So apparently people don't want me to

3:14 cover Godzilla and finally watch those

3:16 movies all that much.

3:18 So yeah, the selective sequels thing I I believe you.

3:22 I just don't really know about it.

3:23 Wesley Hunt says Toy Story 3 may be the

3:28 best legacy sequel ever made.

3:30 It almost bucks the formula and ends up standing

3:32 on its own as well.

3:34 So yeah, I didn't

3:35 bring up Toy Story 3 in either of the

3:37 Legacy Sequels episodes.

3:39 I guess it is

3:39 technically a legacy sequel.

3:41 The Toy Story movies have an interesting

3:43 relationship with The Passage of Time

3:44 because all of the main characters don't

3:47 age.

3:48 They're basically immortal.

3:50 And obviously in Toy Story 3, Andy has aged.

3:53 There is a real passage of time there.

3:55 He's in a different part of his life,

3:57 but he's not in the movie that much.

4:00 And so, in regards to it being a legacy

4:02 sequel, it's a very unique case.

4:03 And a lot of the stuff with Toy Story 3

4:06 doesn't really apply to other movies.

4:08 And so, it just would have been a whole

4:10 tangent only to talk about that one

4:12 movie.

4:13 And so, I chose just not to get

4:15 into it.

4:16 And I'm still a little unsure

4:17 about whether or not I consider it a

4:20 legacy sequel.

4:21 Also, I like that once

4:22 again, like the music biopics episode,

4:24 we are just getting into the rules and

4:26 definitions about what counts in this

4:29 like classification of movie.

4:31 And I'm sure we'll have more of that.

4:33 Okay.

4:34 Endos says only 5 minutes in, but to answer

4:38 the clearly important question here,

4:40 corkboards have a higher coolness

4:42 ceiling than white boards, but a lower

4:45 coolness floor.

4:46 A properly busy and

4:48 elaborate corkboard looks great, but

4:50 when it's just there with a few pages

4:52 stuck to it, then you just get the vibe

4:54 of a community center notice board.

4:56 I totally agree.

4:57 If you don't know what

4:58 Inos is talking about on the whiteboard

5:01 in this episode, I think like down in

5:03 like the left bottom corner, I have

5:06 written are corkboards cooler than

5:08 whiteboards because I totally agree with

5:10 this comment.

5:10 When a corkboard is full,

5:12 especially if it has like string and

5:14 stuff like that, I think partly because

5:15 of uh the amount of physical stuff on

5:18 there.

5:18 There's actually like like

5:19 texture to it, it's it's denser.

5:21 And then also the contrast between like

5:23 white papers and the darker brownish

5:26 corkboard.

5:27 It's just more visually

5:28 interesting.

5:28 While a whiteboard is a big

5:30 white board with a lot of writing on it,

5:31 with a corkboard, you do like to look

5:34 good, it needs to be properly filled up.

5:36 While a whiteboard you can just like

5:38 write a ton and it's a lot easier to

5:40 fill up.

5:41 Uh also in the Nebula office

5:43 there is no big corkboard.

5:46 I've got one like in my apartment that's like maybe

5:49 like 24 by 36 but you know not big

5:51 enough to fill the whole background of a

5:53 shot.

5:54 And there is just a whiteboard

5:56 there that is on wheels.

5:57 And so obviously that's what we use.

5:59 There was really no no debate about whether to use

6:01 a corkboard or a whiteboard because we

6:03 only had a whiteboard.

6:04 But hey, I don't

6:05 know.

6:05 Maybe next season we'll buy a big

6:08 corkboard on wheels.

6:10 Probably not, but anything's possible.

6:12 Doada says, "Within the past 2 weeks, announcements of The

6:16 Mummy 4 and Gremlins 3 have been

6:18 announced.

6:19 Very timely video." Uh, yeah,

6:21 those are actually mentioned in Legacy

6:23 Sequels part two because that one came

6:26 out on Nebula when part one came out on

6:29 YouTube.

6:30 just uh you know more reason to

6:32 just watch the videos on Nebula because

6:35 you watch them a month early and that's

6:37 pretty good.

6:38 Anm Dolph says an anim says

6:42 using your first Odyssey metaphor anid

6:45 would be the original legacy sequel

6:48 another sequel to the Iliad written

6:50 centuries later by the Romans as a way

6:52 to tie themselves into the myth.

6:55 Uh yeah.

6:58 Yeah, that that that checks out.

7:00 It has been many many years since I I I

7:04 read any of these or really got into the

7:06 whole like, you know, Odyssey, Iliad,

7:09 Aniad stuff, but yeah.

7:11 Yeah, I think you're right.

7:12 Okay.

7:12 Human-shaped object says, "Am I the only one who thinks Star

7:17 Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979

7:19 deserves a lot more recognition for its

7:21 influence on legacy sequels?

7:23 It came out four years before Psycho 2, 1983, and 10

7:27 years after the original TV series.

7:29 It wasn't a huge hit, but did well enough

7:32 to generate five direct sequels.

7:34 This is actually something that I was talking

7:36 about like when the episode came out

7:38 with friend of the channel, Jesse

7:39 Jender, obviously famously huge Star

7:41 Trek fan.

7:42 And yeah, I I I agree.

7:44 the the Star Trek movies, the ones with the

7:47 original cast, starting with the motion

7:48 picture, then you know, Wrath of Khan,

7:50 Search for Spock, Voyama, all of that

7:52 stuff.

7:52 As much as I think at the time

7:54 and and really maybe even still, most of

7:56 the discussion is about, you know, those

7:58 movie series being like, oh, a TV show

8:00 that then, you know, went and and like

8:02 transitioned to movies.

8:04 It really kind of is the original legacy sequel.

8:06 There is a big time jump there and and I

8:09 should have included it in the episode.

8:12 That was an oversight and a mistake on

8:14 my part.

8:15 And to all of the Star Trek

8:17 fans out there, I am sorry.

8:20 Okay, what do we got next?

8:21 I am shooting this in

8:23 the morning instead of at night like I

8:25 usually do.

8:26 So, I am drinking coffee.

8:27 Oh boy, this is going to be a fun one.

8:36 A guy with a lot of opinions

8:40 says, "I'm not a big Star Wars guy, so I

8:43 don't really have skin in this game.

8:45 But I think the problem with Luke, this is

8:48 referring to Luke Skywalker in The Last

8:51 Jedi, wasn't so much the change in the

8:54 character, but the lack of an

8:56 explanation.

8:58 All we are ever told is

8:59 that Luke beat the Empire, started a

9:02 school, and then Kylo got infected with

9:05 the dark side.

9:06 That is not nearly a good

9:08 enough explanation for Luke's

9:10 personality to have done a complete 180.

9:14 People feel that Luke's character was

9:16 assassinated because he basically

9:18 switched his entire personality for no

9:21 good reason.

9:22 Okay, so as much as I am so tired of

9:27 still talking about this movie and

9:29 discussing the changes in character of

9:32 one Lucas Skywalker, let me explain why

9:36 I think his characterization in The Last

9:39 Jedi makes sense.

9:42 So let's look at Luke

9:43 at the end of Return of the Jedi.

9:45 Okay.

9:45 He had some difficult times like with

9:47 his dad, but in the end, you know, his

9:49 his dad kind of redeems himself at at

9:51 the very end and then they topple the

9:53 evil empire and Luke is feeling pretty

9:55 good.

9:56 The Republic is back.

9:57 Peace and justice can prevail in the galaxy.

10:01 And Luke is the big hero.

10:02 And so he's like,

10:03 "Great.

10:04 Now I'm going to dedicate my

10:05 life to restoring the Jedi order who

10:09 used to be the guardians of peace and

10:11 justice in the galaxy.

10:12 We're going to bring them back.

10:13 I'm going to start a

10:14 new school, train a new generation of

10:17 Jedi, and hey, my nephew, my own family

10:21 member, it turns out to be like my star

10:24 pupil, and he is the one that I am like

10:26 putting all my hopes and dreams on.

10:27 He will continue this legacy and bring it

10:30 forward.

10:31 And uh and I'm feeling great

10:32 about this.

10:33 And then like 20 years into

10:35 this, sorry uh if this gets a little too

10:37 real, but basically his nephew turns out

10:41 to basically be a school shooter.

10:43 and gets a bunch of other kids at the school

10:46 together to kill all the rest and burn

10:49 down the school and destroy everything

10:52 that Luke has been dedicating his life

10:54 to.

10:55 And so, not only is Luke's mission

10:57 in life like utterly destroyed, but he

11:00 basically gave these kids like the tools

11:03 to go do this to like, you know, commit

11:05 murder and then go off and like, you

11:08 know, help lead this new like fascist

11:11 regime.

11:12 So, he's in a pretty terrible

11:14 place.

11:14 So, I personally think it's

11:16 pretty human and and normal if he looks

11:19 at this and blames himself for causing

11:22 this and leading to all of this terrible

11:24 stuff happening and thinking, "Hey,

11:26 maybe the world would be better off if I

11:28 just like never trained anyone ever

11:30 again because look what happened last

11:32 time and and just became a recluse

11:35 because he's sad and guilty." And you

11:38 know what?

11:38 If I were in that position, I

11:40 would probably feel pretty similarly.

11:42 I think that's an extremely human, normal

11:45 way to respond.

11:46 Yeah, look, it's been

11:47 eight years.

11:47 I still think a lot of the

11:49 criticisms of that movie are stupid and

11:52 this is one of them.

11:54 Okay, let's move on

11:55 and hopefully not talk about Star Wars.

11:58 Dylan Pank says, "Also in 2010, we got

12:02 the Alice in Wonderland, which while not

12:04 technically a sequel, unless you count

12:06 it like you did Hook, certainly hits the

12:09 protagonist returns, but they've changed

12:11 and protagonist returns and the world

12:13 has changed formula." Okay, so the Tim

12:16 Burton Alice in Wonderland that made

12:18 like a billion dollars and I think is

12:20 maybe one of the worst movies of the

12:22 century.

12:23 just a a a really shitty movie.

12:27 Yeah, it is a weird thing cuz it's like

12:29 is it a sequel?

12:31 Is this Alice's first

12:32 time in Wonderland?

12:34 Look, I don't know

12:34 what the deal is with that movie.

12:36 I don't know if it's meant to be a sequel

12:37 or just or like a remake or retelling.

12:40 And I am absolutely not watching it

12:42 again because it sucks.

12:44 And so, yeah.

12:44 So, that's why I didn't talk about it.

12:46 Uh because I I I don't know how it fits

12:48 into the conversation and uh and it's

12:50 dreadful.

12:51 Aaron Boro says, "To be

12:53 honest, I wonder if the reason audiences

12:55 didn't have an appetite for legacy

12:57 sequels back then had to do with the

12:59 lack of easy access to older movies.

13:01 Like part of what popularizes legacy

13:03 sequels today is the fact that these

13:06 movies never leave the cultural

13:07 zeitgeist anymore due to being available

13:09 on streaming or even before on reruns

13:11 and home video, etc.

13:13 Um, I hope I don't

13:14 end up saying this too many times in

13:16 this episode, but that is discussed at

13:19 length in part two, which you know,

13:22 Aaron, you've probably watched.

13:23 A major part of it is just like, you know, the

13:26 invention of of home video and video

13:29 rental stores and being able to watch

13:31 movies over and over again because like

13:33 honestly until the 80s, you couldn't you

13:36 could not just, you know, re-watch

13:37 movies over and over again.

13:38 And so fandom and our relationship with older

13:41 media just changed completely once that

13:44 older media was more easily accessible.

13:46 But again, watch part two if you haven't

13:48 already.

13:49 It's covered at length.

13:50 James Allen says, "The Mask of Zoro seems like

13:54 a legacy sequel in almost every way.

13:57 Apart from the absence of a Zoro film

13:59 with Anthony Hopkins in the 70s, it

14:01 ticks all the boxes." Yes, it absolutely

14:04 does.

14:04 Back in 2020 when I made the video

14:09 Patrick explains the mask of Zoro and

14:11 why it's great.

14:12 The episode that famously I went upstate to shoot right

14:16 when CO hit New York and that's how I

14:19 got stuck upstate for 5 months.

14:21 But yeah, anyway, in that episode, I don't

14:24 know if I used the term legacy sequel

14:26 there.

14:27 Um, but I did talk a bunch about

14:30 how it basically is a legacy sequel to a

14:32 movie that doesn't exist and also how

14:34 The Mask of Zoro is Batman Beyond.

14:37 So, yeah, Mask of Zoro, great movie, a

14:39 masterpiece.

14:41 Sheman says, "Wow, shade

14:44 thrown at Psycho 2, calling it a rehash.

14:46 It's nothing like the first movie.

14:48 It flips the concept entirely on its head

14:51 where Bates is a deeply regretful former

14:53 psychiatric patient being manipulated

14:55 and framed.

14:56 It's extremely well directed

14:57 and Anthony Perkins's performance is

14:59 better than it is in the first movie.

15:01 Most of the criticism surrounding the

15:02 film is a mash of people getting all

15:04 upset that someone dare make a sequel to

15:06 a Hitchcock film or people complaining

15:08 that it isn't enough like the first one

15:10 is.

15:11 Okay, so I will admit I may I may

15:14 have been a little unfair to Psycho 2 in

15:18 that episode.

15:19 I know a lot of people who

15:20 love it and think it's, you know,

15:22 awesome.

15:22 I think it's okay.

15:24 And [clears throat] yes, the murders in the

15:25 movie are not being perpetrated by

15:27 Norman Bates.

15:28 They're being done by

15:29 other people trying to frame him who

15:31 like want revenge on him for what he did

15:33 before.

15:33 But the reason that I included

15:35 it in the category that I did is that

15:39 basically the whole movie is to bring

15:41 Norman Bates back to where he was in the

15:45 first movie.

15:45 So at the end of Psycho 2,

15:47 he is back in peak Norman Bates mode.

15:50 Uh he is running the motel.

15:51 He's dressing up as his dead mom.

15:53 He is killing people

15:54 and so it gets him back there.

15:56 So then going forward with more sequels doing

15:59 the classic thing where Norman Bates is

16:01 there killing people at the motel.

16:03 So yeah, it takes like a whole movie to get

16:05 there, but then it does get there and

16:08 that is why I made the choice I did.

16:10 I do apologize to all the Psycho 2 fans uh

16:13 if I was like a little bit dismissive

16:15 because it is a more interesting movie

16:18 than I feel like it's often given credit

16:20 for.

16:21 even if I don't think it's a

16:23 masterpiece.

16:24 As Gerner says, I really

16:26 started to notice something was up this

16:28 summer when F1 did the original

16:31 character returns as a grizzled mentor

16:33 to the new generation, but it's the

16:35 first film in the franchise.

16:36 Though, I guess you could say it's like Hook being

16:38 a sequel to the general idea of the

16:40 story, not a specific film.

16:42 So, this is another one that is addressed in part

16:45 two.

16:45 I know you posted that comment

16:47 before you had watched part two, but

16:48 yeah, F1 is covered there as a movie

16:51 that feels like a legacy sequel to a

16:54 movie that doesn't actually exist, and I

16:56 think that's fun and interesting.

16:58 So, watch part two.

16:59 Okay.

16:59 Steven Bradford says, "I feel like legacy sequels could

17:03 present the solution to some of the

17:05 biggest problems of the franchise,

17:07 especially in live action.

17:09 At some point, you've told pretty much every

17:11 story there is to tell about a

17:13 character.

17:14 Legacy sequels allow that

17:16 character's mission to live on in new

17:17 form.

17:18 This has been tried a ton in

17:20 comics.

17:21 W-ally West as Flash, Kyle Rener

17:23 as Green Lantern, Sam Wilson, Bucky

17:25 Barnes as Captain America.

17:26 Unfortunately, these changes never quite

17:29 seem to stick.

17:30 Perhaps that's a warning

17:31 for cinema as well.

17:33 Okay, so we're getting into comics now.

17:35 the first examples you bring up, Wally West as the

17:37 Flash, Kyle Rener as Green Lantern.

17:40 There was a thing in '90s DC comics

17:43 where the idea of legacy became like a

17:46 really major part of things because in

17:49 both those cases, you had major

17:51 superheroes that have been around since,

17:53 you know, like the' 50s, just like with

17:56 the mantle being taken over by brand new

17:59 people.

17:59 Well, Wally West, former

18:00 sidekick, now becoming the main hero.

18:02 But that's a pretty big transition.

18:05 And in both cases, I mean, I think most

18:08 people would agree that I mean, Wally

18:09 West is definitely a more interesting

18:12 character than Barry Allen.

18:14 Like, like absolutely.

18:15 And then and and I must

18:16 admit, I have not read almost any like

18:19 '90s Kyle Rener Green Lantern comics,

18:22 but based on the character even just

18:24 being in like, you know, the the Grant

18:25 Morrison JLA, yeah, I I think you can

18:28 make a case for Kyle Rener also being

18:29 more interesting than Hal Jordan.

18:31 you know, both Barry Allen and Hell Jordan,

18:33 you know, kind of generic, kind of

18:35 boring, especially Barry Allen, like

18:37 1950s square jawed heroes.

18:40 And there was even stuff like obviously with the the

18:42 death of Superman and then like like the

18:44 new potential successors coming in,

18:47 Super Boy, Steel, stuff like that.

18:49 The Bat family becoming more of a thing.

18:51 Obviously, you know, you've got the like

18:52 Jean Paul like, you know, section where

18:55 he takes over as Batman.

18:56 And it it was a

18:58 really interesting time because DC

19:00 comics were embracing this idea that

19:02 like yeah, while there will always be

19:05 like a Flash or a Batman, you know, uh

19:09 realistically, if this person's mission

19:12 is going to continue forever, they won't

19:14 live forever.

19:15 And so, yeah, so there can

19:17 be a successor and when done well, uh,

19:19 it can, like in Molly West, be better

19:22 than it was before, which is funny

19:23 because it actually feels more natural

19:25 to do in movies where you can't have an

19:27 actor just play a role, you know, for

19:30 like 50 years.

19:31 Uh, you do actually need

19:32 to like pass it off to someone new.

19:34 While in comics, you know, people don't

19:36 really age, so you don't have to do it.

19:38 But then you ran into this thing in the

19:40 2000s where you have writers who have

19:42 been lifelong fans.

19:43 And by this I I

19:44 mostly mean Jeff John's who are like,

19:46 "Okay, so these characters are fine, but

19:49 I think it would be better if the comics

19:51 were like they were when I was a kid.

19:53 So let's just bring back the original

19:55 heroes who are now dead to just take

19:58 over the roles again, even if they're

20:00 more boring.

20:01 Hey, it's the guys that I

20:02 liked when I was a kid." So nostalgia

20:04 once again trumps interesting, effective

20:07 storytelling and and evolution and the

20:10 idea of moving forward.

20:11 So, are we saying that mainstream superhero comics

20:14 predicted the overwhelming nostalgia

20:17 takeover of popular culture?

20:20 Maybe.

20:21 Ghost Porcupine, amazing username, says, "I had a phase

20:26 in college and have indeed seen all the

20:30 Andy Hardy movies." Amazing.

20:32 You know, I feel there had to be one.

20:34 There had to be one person.

20:36 And Ghost Porcupine, it's

20:38 you, Gee.

20:39 GUI4816 says, "What I hate about most legacy

20:44 sequels is the tendency of making the

20:46 heroes we love pathetic and embarrassing

20:49 are showing flaws they would never have

20:52 in the original movie.

20:54 It's fine when the character is already flawed and not

20:56 a traditional hero.

20:57 Decard from Bladeunner is a good example, but I

21:00 really don't like to see Indiana Jones

21:02 as a weak old man who lost everything

21:05 and needs someone younger to replace

21:07 him." I mean, to be fair, in both of the

21:10 Indiana Jones Legacy sequels, in neither

21:13 one does someone younger replace him,

21:15 like Crystal Skull makes you think like,

21:17 "Ooh, is Mut going to take over the

21:20 franchise?" But then Indie takes the hat

21:22 back.

21:22 And so really, I think those

21:24 movies are about how Indiana Jones,

21:26 despite being older, is still capable of

21:30 carrying on the adventures and does not

21:33 need to be replaced.

21:34 So, like, not to

21:35 like defend all legacy sequels, but I'm

21:37 not sure I'm with you because in some of

21:40 these cases, like especially like Creed,

21:44 you know, with Rocky Balboa, I think

21:46 seeing this character older and frailer

21:50 actually makes the character more

21:52 compelling and you see like different

21:54 sides of them and it deepens the

21:56 character.

21:57 And so, like like I think

21:59 Stallone in Creed is like that's the

22:01 best performance I think he's ever

22:03 given.

22:03 I think he's really wonderful in

22:04 that movie.

22:05 And so, yeah, if it's done

22:06 well like that, I'm fine with seeing our

22:09 heroes older and weaker and more flawed,

22:12 you know?

22:13 I I think it really can like

22:15 deepen the character.

22:16 Once again, I'll say it.

22:17 I think older, flawed, sad.

22:19 Luke Skywalker is a really interesting

22:22 character.

22:23 Karina Martin says, "Can we

22:25 consider Richard Linklader's Boyhood to

22:28 be its own legacy sequel?" You are

22:32 welcome to.

22:33 I do not.

22:35 That is just a

22:36 movie set over many, many years and it

22:39 is one movie and therefore not a sequel.

22:43 Blue Punk says, "Yes, I'm going to sit

22:47 here and tell you that Top Gun Maverick

22:50 isn't a great[ __] movie and is

22:53 actually utter garbage in every way."

22:57 I'm also closing the video on this hot

23:00 take in case you're wondering what that

23:03 metric is because you've just proven

23:06 your taste is so bad that you are not

23:09 worth listening to further on the

23:11 subject of film.

23:14 Wow.

23:14 So, Blue Punk, who obviously is not

23:18 watching this video, this is this is a

23:20 hot take.

23:21 And I'm just going to say that

23:23 if your metric for whether or not you

23:28 will listen to someone's opinions on

23:30 film, if your barometer for someone's

23:34 taste is liking Top Gun Maverick, then I

23:38 could only imagine that you live a very

23:40 lonely life because most people like that movie a lot.

23:47 So, I I am sorry for your sad, probably

23:52 miserable existence.

23:54 But yeah, also, you're not going to watch this or

23:57 anything else I ever make or listen to

23:58 anything else I ever say because I liked

24:01 one movie that you don't like.

24:02 What a way to live.

24:04 Bowser Breaker says, "My

24:07 favorite legacy sequel of all time is

24:09 Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Hot take,

24:12 I know, but I love it.

24:14 Sure, Indiana Jones was older, but Harrison Ford was

24:17 still in good enough shape to do some

24:20 decent action.

24:21 He still felt cool.

24:22 I loved the 50s aesthetic.

24:24 The movie was funny.

24:25 John Williams delivered another

24:27 great soundtrack, and Steven Spielberg

24:29 did a great job directing like usual.

24:32 Look, I don't hate Crystal Skull.

24:35 I'm not mad at that movie.

24:36 There's stuff in it that I like.

24:38 Overall, I'm not crazy

24:40 about it.

24:41 But also, I'm glad that uh it

24:45 has its fans.

24:45 I'm glad you like it so

24:47 much.

24:48 And so, you keep on having that

24:50 hot take.

24:51 Conly Black says, "Is The Lord

24:54 of the Rings a legacy sequel to The

24:57 Hobbit?" I'm going to say no.

25:01 As much as there are characters shared in both of

25:04 them, Gandalf, you know, Bilbo's in Lord

25:07 of the Rings a little bit, Gollum is

25:10 there, I do think it is so removed from

25:15 the main story of The Hobbit and so much

25:17 about totally different things.

25:20 But yeah, like exactly how to classify it,

25:22 I'm not entirely sure of right now, but

25:25 it just doesn't hit enough legacy sequel

25:28 tropes for me to count it.

25:31 But if someone else does, I'm not going to

25:34 fight you on it.

25:35 Okay.

25:36 Scott says, "Does Jurassic World qualify as a legacy

25:41 sequel to Jurassic Park 3?" This might

25:43 be a thing that I mention in part two.

25:45 I don't spend a lot of time on Jurassic

25:48 World.

25:49 You know, I'm not a Jurassic

25:50 World fan, but I think I do mention it

25:52 in in maybe part two.

25:54 I think Jurassic World is a legacy sequel.

25:57 You know, there's like 14 years between Jurassic

25:59 Park 3II and Jurassic World.

26:01 It's set in the same world.

26:02 There is a passage of

26:03 time there.

26:04 What's surprising about it

26:06 is that it doesn't really use major

26:10 legacy characters until the third

26:12 Jurassic World movie.

26:13 Like Bey Wong is

26:14 in the first one.

26:15 Is he in the second

26:16 one, too?

26:16 I can't remember.

26:17 But Bey Wong is also like such a minor character in

26:19 Jurassic Park.

26:20 He's literally in one

26:21 scene and so he doesn't count as a major

26:24 legacy character.

26:25 But yeah, they don't

26:26 bring back like, you know, Alan Grant,

26:28 Ellie Satler, Ian Malcolm until the

26:31 third one.

26:32 I hate to praise Jurassic

26:35 World, a movie that I kind of hate.

26:37 But one thing I will give it credit for is

26:41 showing a surprising amount of restraint

26:44 at not immediately like going for the

26:48 nostalgia move of like bringing back the

26:51 fan favorite characters from the

26:53 originals.

26:54 Look, I don't like the new

26:55 characters in Jurassic World, like Owen

26:57 and Claire.

26:58 I I do not like them.

26:59 I I I do not think they are compelling

27:01 characters.

27:02 But look, at least the movie

27:04 tries to create a new cast of characters

27:07 instead of just, you know, bringing back

27:09 the old ones.

27:10 And so, again, it's not

27:12 succeeding, but it's trying.

27:16 And so, I give it a

27:17 little bit of credit for that.

27:18 So yeah, it is a legacy sequel, although Jurassic

27:21 World Dominion is more legacy sequely

27:25 than the first Jurassic World.

27:27 And a hot take that I will always have and that

27:30 people think I am insane for having is

27:32 that of the three Jurassic World movies,

27:35 Fallen Kingdom, the second one, I think

27:37 is far and away the best.

27:40 I'm not saying it's good.

27:41 I'm saying it's the best

27:43 because Ja Bayiona is just simply a

27:46 better director than Colin Travara.

27:49 And now the final comment from the YouTube

27:52 comment section comes from a podcast

27:55 named Scooby-Doo who says, "You're going

27:59 to mention Hook as a legacy sequel to

28:01 Peter Pan and just ignore Return to

28:04 Neverland.

28:05 Why you got to do that film

28:07 dirty, Patrick?" Well, because I have

28:09 never seen Return to Neverland.

28:11 I don't really have any plans to see.

28:13 It doesn't seem like a particularly important thing

28:16 to see when discussing legacy sequels.

28:19 It came out more than a decade after

28:20 Hook.

28:21 So, the legacy sequel formula was

28:24 already like developed at that point.

28:25 It didn't really play a big role in that.

28:27 And also, it just feels like a kind of

28:29 inessential film.

28:30 You know, basically like a Disney directtovideo animated

28:33 sequel, but that somehow got released in

28:35 theaters.

28:36 I don't know.

28:36 Am I being overly dismissive to Return to

28:39 Neverland?

28:40 Do I need to see it?

28:42 No one has ever told me I had to see it.

28:44 I've always felt pretty comfortable skipping

28:46 over that one.

28:48 So, yeah.

28:48 I don't know.

28:49 Am I making a mistake?

28:51 Do I need to

28:51 watch it?

28:52 Is it actually super relevant

28:54 to this conversation?

28:56 Let me know.

28:57 But for now, I'm going to keep on not

29:00 watching it.

29:02 And so that brings us to

29:04 the end of the comments from the YouTube

29:08 comment section.

29:08 And so now we jump over

29:10 to the questions from the Ask Patrick

29:12 channel on our Discord server.

29:15 I I already mentioned some of the stuff

29:17 about the Patreon and the Discord at the

29:19 beginning of the episode, but now I will

29:20 say more stuff that I say in every

29:22 episode that the Patreon is great.

29:24 It really helps support the channel, helps

29:26 me pay everybody who works on it, like

29:29 you know, the person editing this video.

29:31 Uh, also, we're about 200 patrons away

29:34 from our next goal.

29:36 Uh, at which point I

29:38 will make the big video explaining

29:39 everything that's on my giant graphic

29:41 novel shelf.

29:42 So, if you want to hear me

29:43 just talk about comics for hours, that's

29:47 how to make it happen.

29:48 But also, in our

29:49 Discord server, there's a channel called

29:50 Ask Patrick, uh, where you can ask

29:52 questions about anything.

29:54 Uh, I will answer every question in there.

29:56 If it's about the latest video, I will answer it

29:58 in a Patrick Replies video.

29:59 If it's about any random thing like where did I

30:03 get this mug, then I will answer it on

30:05 Discord.

30:06 First up, the great Armando

30:08 Marchetti says, "Just here to say the

30:10 Legacy episode was so good I grinned

30:12 like an idiot at the Led Zeppelin needle

30:14 drop." Which, I'm just going to say I'm

30:17 so happy did not get a copyright claim

30:19 on YouTube.

30:20 We got away with that.

30:21 If you didn't get that, it was a reference

30:23 to the final scene of season 1 of Mind

30:26 Hunter because obviously this whole

30:28 episode was a Mind Hunter riff, which is

30:30 a super topical reference because that

30:33 show ended like 6 years ago.

30:35 Oh, spoiler to make the Mind Hunter joke land even

30:38 more.

30:39 And now I kind of hope the

30:40 upcoming part two ends abruptly on a

30:42 cliffhanger and the whole series about

30:43 legacy sequels gets cancelled.

30:45 Well, we didn't do that, but maybe we should

30:47 have.

30:47 Sorry.

30:48 Major Stranger says, "Just

30:50 wanted to say Emma made me want to watch

30:53 Mind Hunters, the Kilm movie, not the

30:56 singular TV show.

30:58 Not a great movie, but

30:59 a great time watching this dumb and then

31:01 they were non-mstery slasher flick.

31:03 So, thanks Emma." Yeah, I've got to say Emma

31:06 has told me about many a bad kilm in the

31:10 the past few years and most of them, you

31:13 know, ones like I don't know the steam

31:15 experiment or stuff like that and most

31:17 of them I think wow that sounds uh

31:19 really bad and I don't need to ever see

31:21 that.

31:22 Mind Hunters.

31:23 Honestly, Emma's description of it did sound like

31:26 especially like, you know, with some

31:28 drinks getting together with some

31:29 friends.

31:30 That could be fun to watch,

31:33 especially just to get to LL CoolJ's

31:35 like line at the end, which I think is

31:37 really funny.

31:38 Next, Sean says, "Just

31:40 joined the Patreon for the video topic

31:42 submission, the the topic tournament of

31:44 2025, and given the legacy sequel video

31:47 on Nebula, I'm curious where Twin Peaks:

31:50 The Return fits into your

31:52 categorization.

31:54 Now, I must shamefully admit that I have

31:58 actually not seen all of Twin Peaks: The

32:01 Return.

32:01 I really have no excuse.

32:03 I really thought last year I was going to

32:05 watch it like especially when when Blank

32:07 Check was doing their Lynch series and I

32:10 was filling in the gaps in my Lynch

32:12 viewing following along with them and

32:15 then I just was so busy that I did not

32:18 have time to watch like 18 episodes of

32:21 Twin Peaks the Return.

32:22 So I haven't listened to those episodes of Blind

32:24 Check and it was just a very busy year

32:26 and I really thought I was going to

32:27 watch it finally and I didn't.

32:30 Maybe right now as I'm, you know, taking a

32:32 little break, maybe now is the time to

32:34 do it because, yeah, back when it

32:36 premiered, I did watch the first like

32:38 two or three episodes.

32:41 And I mean, look,

32:42 it's a sequel.

32:44 The passage of time is a

32:45 big part of it.

32:46 How much nostalgia and

32:47 reference is in it?

32:48 I don't know.

32:49 I guess I will find out.

32:51 So, really, I don't have an answer for your question.

32:54 I'm sorry.

32:55 John Bradford says, "I

32:57 remember a cracked article from years

32:59 ago that said that reboots of popular

33:01 franchises have effectively killed the

33:03 parody genre since the existence of the

33:06 movie now allows for the writers to poke

33:08 fun at tropes and make references to the

33:10 franchise's history.

33:12 For example, in the

33:12 Clash of the Titans remake, we get to

33:14 see them pull up the little robot owl

33:16 from the original and look at it with

33:18 equal parts incredulousness and

33:21 mockery." That is an interesting take that I'm not

33:25 sure I entirely agree with.

33:28 I think the death of like parody comedy movies

33:31 really comes down to one just the the

33:34 decline and and death of just comedy

33:37 movies in general over the past 15 years

33:40 but also I think just like the

33:43 proliferation of the Freedberg Seltzer

33:47 you know like like epic movie date movie

33:51 disaster movie all of those because

33:54 those even though like some of them made

33:56 money they were just like so like like

33:59 widely disliked and not respected that I

34:03 think they did so much harm to the

34:05 reputation of the parody genre because

34:07 like in this example here like it's not

34:10 like anyone was going to make a Clash of

34:12 the Titans parody because you know that

34:15 was not like like Clash of the Titans

34:17 was a movie was like one movie from the

34:19 really early8s and it's not like that

34:22 was a genre or popular franchise going

34:25 forward that was like ripe for parody.

34:27 So yeah, I I I think this is more of

34:29 like a larger systemic thing.

34:30 I personally would not put this on legacy

34:32 sequels, but also send me that article

34:35 and maybe it will persuade me.

34:38 David M.

34:38 Dot says, "I'm curious to know what

34:41 Patrick thinks about movies that sort of

34:43 try to speedrun the whole legacy sequel

34:46 thing, using legacy sequel plots, but

34:48 not really allowing enough time to pass

34:50 for it to land in the same way.

34:52 I'm thinking of movies like Pirates of the

34:54 Caribbean 5 in which the children of the

34:56 original characters have to work with

34:58 the legacy heroes to fight a new threat

35:00 or even The Dark Knight Rises which is

35:02 both a kota and a hero is traumatized by

35:06 events of previous films plot.

35:08 Skyfall as you recently pointed out is another

35:11 one of these.

35:12 Should these not quite

35:13 legacy sequels be considered their own

35:16 category?

35:17 And then Crackfic Casey adds,

35:19 "Pacific Rim tried to do a soft reboot

35:21 legacy sequel less than 10 years after

35:23 the first and only other entry on the

35:25 franchise." Interesting.

35:27 I had not really considered these very much.

35:29 I also have not seen Pirates of the

35:31 Caribbean 5.

35:32 I've never seen four or

35:33 five because if Vervinsky isn't making

35:34 them, I'm not interested.

35:36 But Dark Knight Rises is a really interesting

35:39 example because, you know, it was made 4

35:42 years after The Dark Knight, but it's

35:44 set 8 years later and it is about Batman

35:48 coming out of retirement.

35:49 And it does get into like, oh, now his like leg is

35:52 messed up and and and stuff like that.

35:55 And yeah, it is a movie that I think for

35:58 what it's trying to do, you know, it's

36:00 doing like a little bit of Dart Return

36:02 stuff, but then more No Man's Land, but

36:05 also Nightfall.

36:06 It's like a funny mish

36:07 mash of, you know, Batman story lines,

36:09 but it is the kind of thing where if

36:11 that movie came out like 10 to 15 years

36:16 after The Dark Knight and had like

36:19 Christian Bale actually like look like

36:21 he had aged as opposed to looking

36:24 exactly the same.

36:25 Like he has a beard at

36:26 the beginning of Dark Knight Rises, but

36:27 then he shaves off the beard and he

36:29 looks the same.

36:29 Yeah, if there was a a

36:32 clearer passage of time, I think the

36:34 movie would would gain a little bit more

36:36 power.

36:37 It's a movie I have very

36:38 complicated feelings about.

36:39 Uh I know there are people who think it's the best

36:41 of the Nolan trilogy.

36:43 I think it's the

36:43 weakest.

36:44 I think it's, you know,

36:45 arguably Nolan's weakest movie, but

36:47 there's really interesting stuff in

36:49 there.

36:49 But yeah, one thing in Rises that

36:51 like is always a struggle for me is just

36:54 like the opening like status quo where

36:57 it's like, okay, the Dent Act made crime

37:01 illegal, so there's been no crime, but

37:03 Batman has also been away for 8 years

37:07 despite him like being hunted at the end

37:09 of the previous movie.

37:11 And he's like older and they talk a bit about how his

37:14 like knee is messed up, but then he just

37:16 like puts on a knee brace and then he's

37:18 fine.

37:19 and h him having aged or whatever

37:21 is no longer relevant to anything.

37:23 It's it's an odd movie.

37:25 And Skyfall, I'm not

37:27 sure it speedruns the legacy sequel

37:29 thing.

37:30 It just is like, well, everything

37:32 else is the same, but James Bond has

37:34 just aged like 15 years, but he's just

37:36 been doing the job the same, but like

37:38 the general status quo is all the same.

37:41 And so, I don't know, are there more

37:43 examples?

37:44 because right now it really

37:45 just feels like Dark Knight Rises is

37:48 kind of like the one weird example.

37:50 Although I guess Pirates of the

37:51 Caribbean 5, but I have not seen it.

37:53 And with Pacific Rim, I don't know.

37:55 I never really thought of Pacific Rim, its

37:58 uprising, right, as a legacy sequel.

38:02 It's like I don't know, is that like a

38:03 few years after the the first one?

38:05 I think that's just a funny case where

38:06 it's like, well, the stars of the

38:08 original one didn't come back.

38:10 And so we we want to make another one of these,

38:12 but also we need to like find some new

38:15 way to like make a story without our

38:18 previous protagonist.

38:19 And so let's do

38:20 this.

38:21 I can't remember is is is Ringo

38:23 Kakuchi Makomi in that one?

38:26 Man, all I remember about Pacific Rim Uprising are

38:29 two things.

38:30 One, Charlie Day is married

38:33 to a kaiju brain, which is funny.

38:37 And also I remember thinking that that movie

38:40 that was one of the rare movies to

38:42 actually use Scott Eastwood effectively.

38:46 The next one to use him effectively of

38:48 course is Guy Richie's Wrath of Man.

38:50 But anyway, I I I forgot most of the rest of

38:52 it.

38:53 Moving on.

38:54 Okay, next up from Peter

38:56 who says, "Hey Patrick, loved the first

38:58 Legacy sequels video.

38:59 Looking forward to part two.

39:01 I have mixed feelings

39:02 regarding selective sequels, as you put

39:04 it.

39:04 While I've certainly been guilty of

39:06 this, of hating an installment of a

39:08 series I love and just saying that's not

39:10 canon to me, when it comes from an

39:12 actual filmmaker, it can come off as

39:14 lazy and can even lead to throwing the

39:16 baby out with the bathwater.

39:17 One of the things I didn't like about The Force

39:19 Awakens, sorry, is that it seemed to me

39:21 like it had no ambitions or point beyond

39:23 just not being the prequels.

39:25 As you probably know, this I say the same thing

39:27 in part two.

39:29 It's a movie defined by

39:30 what it's not rather than what it is.

39:32 The far superior Last Jedi, on the other

39:34 hand, while keeping the main focus on

39:36 the legacy of the original trilogy,

39:38 doesn't just pretend the prequels don't

39:40 exist.

39:41 Rather, it explicitly references

39:43 those events and genuinely builds on the

39:45 prequel trilogy's depiction of the Jedi

39:47 as a flawed organized religion.

39:48 This engages with the complicated, more mixed

39:51 legacy the prequels have grown over the

39:53 years and the way their defenders view

39:55 them.

39:55 Do you agree that this more big

39:58 tent approach to legacy sequels to long

40:00 franchises is commendable?

40:02 or do you prefer selective sequels for an ability

40:04 to stay more focused and less mired in a

40:07 bunch of baggage?

40:08 Okay, while there's more to this question, I will just say

40:11 Peter, I totally agree.

40:12 I am not a fan

40:13 of the selective sequels thing.

40:15 I think it's honestly kind of lazy just to like

40:18 be like, well, I don't know how to deal

40:19 with these plot points or or these story

40:22 developments, so I'm just not going to

40:24 do it.

40:24 like all that time and thankfully

40:26 this will not happen but where Neil

40:28 Blamp was was going to make a sequel to

40:31 the Alien movies but only do a sequel to

40:33 Alien and Aliens not three and

40:36 Resurrection.

40:37 And look, I am not a huge

40:38 fan of Alien 3.

40:39 I I don't like some of

40:42 the major story choices made with that

40:44 movie.

40:44 If you're going to make a sequel

40:45 to a series, you've got to work with

40:47 what came before.

40:48 I mean, it it it's

40:49 like comic books.

40:50 It's like superhero comics where it's like, look, this is

40:52 all one big continuity that keeps moving

40:55 forward.

40:55 If you don't like a thing that

40:56 happened in the past, you can find some

40:59 way to maybe retcon it and and obviously

41:01 in comics, plenty of crazy retcons have

41:04 been done.

41:05 But look, you know, it's all

41:06 canon and so you're stuck dealing with

41:08 it.

41:08 So yeah, obviously in the case of

41:10 The Force Awakens, they're not like

41:11 decanonizing the prequels.

41:13 They're just so afraid of engaging with anything from

41:16 them.

41:16 But I mean really also the Force

41:18 Awakens doesn't want to like have any

41:20 new ideas anyway.

41:21 All it all it wants to

41:23 do is is just repeat the stuff that it

41:26 liked in the original trilogy.

41:28 And yeah, obviously I talked more about that in

41:30 part two.

41:31 Peter says, "On a related

41:32 note, I think the most difficult example

41:34 of juggling multiple legacies ever

41:36 attempted is the Dr.

41:38 Sleep movie.

41:39 Since the two legacies are in such direct

41:41 conflict with one another, it tries to

41:43 be a meaningful koda to both the

41:44 original Shining novel and the Kubric

41:47 film and thread the needle through 40

41:49 years of arguments and comparisons

41:51 between the two.

41:52 I would love to know

41:52 your thoughts on whether you think it

41:54 succeeded.

41:55 I go back and forth.

41:56 So, I talked about this a little bit in the

41:59 replies video for the digital deaging

42:02 episode about Dr.

42:03 sleep, a movie that I

42:05 have only seen once when it was released

42:07 in theaters that I generally liked

42:10 despite some issues.

42:13 And I thought it

42:14 did a pretty impressive job of following

42:16 up and handling both these legacies

42:18 because look, obviously most people know

42:20 about how, you know, Stephen King, The

42:22 Shining, very personal novel for him.

42:25 He was not pleased with the Kubric film,

42:28 but of course, the Kubric film is a

42:29 classic and very highly regarded.

42:32 And so, you know, making the sequel, it's

42:35 it's like, for instance, in the Shining,

42:36 the novel, spoilers, at the end, the

42:39 overlook hotel like explodes.

42:42 Uh, it's not there anymore.

42:44 But in the Kubric

42:46 movie, the hotel does not explode.

42:48 It is still standing at the end.

42:49 But then Stephen King wrote Dr.

42:51 Sleep, a sequel novel.

42:53 And in the sequel novel,

42:55 obviously, that hotel isn't there

42:57 anymore.

42:58 But then the movie adaptation

43:00 is a direct sequel to the Kubric movie,

43:03 The Shining, but also it's an adaptation

43:06 of Stephen King's novel sequel where the

43:10 overlook isn't there anymore.

43:11 And so it's like look, Mike Flanigan chose a a

43:15 huge challenge for himself, a a maybe

43:18 unwininnable one, but I think he mostly

43:22 pulled it off.

43:24 And again though, I only

43:24 saw the movie once like six years ago

43:27 and I'm really overdue to watch it

43:29 again.

43:30 So I should do that soon.

43:31 Also, I hear the director's cut is really good

43:34 and I haven't seen that, so I shall

43:35 watch it.

43:36 And and Peter has has more

43:38 question.

43:38 Also, since 10 years is the

43:41 cut off point for a legacy sequel, I

43:43 hope the director of the 2011 superhero

43:46 classic White Luke Cage does an

43:49 introspective follow-up revisiting the

43:52 character in 2026 and exploring how he

43:55 fits into the world.

43:57 You know, anything is possible.

43:58 I, for those who don't

44:00 know, White Luke Cage was a very early

44:04 video on this channel from 2011 that I I

44:08 you know, I haven't watched it in a long

44:09 time.

44:10 I wonder if or how it holds up at

44:15 all.

44:16 But I don't know.

44:16 I'll talk to Mike, who is the star of that video, and

44:20 I'll see if he has any ideas for what

44:22 what White Luke Cage is up to 15 years

44:25 later.

44:26 King and Commoner says, "Given

44:28 the logic that a legacy sequel can

44:30 ignore interceding movies, the 11 years

44:33 since the original, and that it is more

44:36 similar in both plot and theme to the

44:38 first than the second, would you

44:40 consider Cars 3 a legacy sequel?" King

44:44 and Commoner, I must admit, I have seen

44:48 neither Cars 2 nor Cars 3, so I really

44:53 cannot say.

44:54 Cars 3 was really made 11

44:56 years after Cars 2.

44:58 But I don't know.

44:58 I feel like we're getting into like the

45:00 Toy Story thing again where it's like

45:02 how much time has actually passed for

45:05 these characters?

45:06 Are they immortal?

45:07 Do they age?

45:09 I don't know.

45:09 Again, I've only seen the first Cars movie and I haven't

45:12 seen it since like 2006.

45:15 And so the rules of that world I'm not super clear

45:18 on.

45:18 So yeah, I simply do not have an

45:21 answer.

45:21 That's up for all of you to

45:22 decide.

45:23 sound off in the comments.

45:25 Hit us in the tittis says, "I am now

45:27 paranoid and scanning the first video in

45:28 case I missed something in there about

45:30 it." I promise you, you did not miss

45:32 anything about the Cars franchise.

45:35 And our final question from Discord comes

45:37 from James Graham, who asks, "Will there

45:41 ever be a legacy sequel to Night of the

45:44 Coconut?" Well, James, Night of the Coconut was

45:48 released in 2022, and so that means a legacy sequel would

45:53 need to come out in 2032 at the

45:56 earliest.

45:57 So, check back, you know, in

45:59 like 2030, 2031, and we'll see how we're all

46:04 feeling because anything's possible.

46:07 Charles could return in Night of the

46:10 Coconut Resurrection.

46:13 And and we have no

46:14 physical mail today.

46:15 I will check the PO

46:16 box for the next episode.

46:18 Send us stuff.

46:19 I love opening mail.

46:20 And so yeah, that

46:21 does it for this episode.

46:22 So stay tuned for Patrick replies to Legacy Sequels

46:25 part two coming soon.

46:28 And once again, we

46:30 are going to get through all of these

46:33 soon.

46:33 We're almost there.

46:34 Bye.

46:35 Thank you for watching.
