It's not a franchise that needs continuing. It deserves to go, you know, the way of the dinosaur.

Don't forget that Jurassic Park franchise has produced exactly one good (great actually) movie. Everything after 1993 has been garbage, yese, including Lost World, apologists.

Jurassic Park 6 should be about the adult Lex and Tim Murphy, who are dealing with the lifelong trauma of being almost killed a dozen times on their grandfather's nightmare island.

Incredibles 2 is one part James Bond, one part kid comedy, and one part (the biggest part) Incredibles 1. Our review from @geoffswanson thestake.org/2018/06/15/the…
