I notice that this narrative is getting passed around. There's this idea that the movie was specifically made to piss off the people who liked the first one. I've also seen the weird term "Hollywood humiliation ritual" being thrown around again.
But why would a studio spend millions of dollars to do this? I just don't get it.
It really has vibes of (((Hollywood))) attempting to humiliate a certain demographic (white males) by degrading their cultural iconography.
It just seems like a really chud way to frame the narrative. Wouldn't they actually try to make money by producing the same slop for the same audience?
There wasn't really a "they" apparently. The studio basically gave the director free rein to do whatever he wants with the movie, given how successful the first one was
