My dad loves to tell me the story of an elderly grandpa of his who saw Temple of Doom and was convinced that it was called “Injun Joe and the Doom”. He was very hard of hearing and forgetful.
The sad thing is that “Injun Joe and the Doom” still sounds like a better film than whatever the fuck this shit is. As soon as I saw that 4chan leak, I knew it was going to be true, because these “sequels” always turn out the same:
• Elderly male main character has turned into a shell of his former self (Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, John Connor)
• Elderly male main character must be killed off at some point (see above)
• Strong independent female who don’t need no man is introduced to replace them (Rey, Admiral Holdo, That black chick from No Time to Die, Helena Brody)
• A series of events based on the original films follows, but instead of a male, there’s a strong independent female who don’t need no man doing all the work
• Try to shoehorn some black, disabled, transsexual somewhere in the plot (but in a very minor role that can be easily edited out for China!)
• Insert member berries for all the easily impressed consoomers in the audience so they can ignore the bad writing
• When all else fails, add bargain basement Reddit-tier humor to the dialogue!
You get the idea, I’m sure, but that’s just how repetitive Hollywood is these days. I’ve seen all their shit before, and I’m sick of it.
