Mr Nobody was driving a car with an air cushion beside the big plane and caught her on that then had her doing separate jobs from Han for the last ten years. Alternatively Cypher scraped her off the pavement after the plane thing and had her locked in a basement, maybe she got hurt really badly so she's just been locked in a basement since then. Maybe Cypher uploaded her so she's the AI who has been doing all the hacking all along.

Wasn’t huge on Fast 8 and after Hobbs and Shaw and F9 came out there clearly was a different pull Rock was asserting on the series that wasn’t good so I’m fine that he’s not coming back

Same. Han showing up in the trailer for F9 got me to watch 8 and Hobbs and Shaw, and honestly I've just been disappointed overall even though each movie has its moments. "It turns out Han is just another spy and Mr. Nobody helped fake his death" was a really loving lame explanation.

I feel like it kinda worked, given the tone the series has at the moment. Though I've only seen F9 once so far, so my memory is hazy. Looking at the character wiki pages to explain it is wild, yet I feel it kind of pulls it off. It's I guess not just that Han is a spy, apparently the reason he knows Mr. Nobody is through Gisele. And the reason he'd care about the Project Ares thing is because he cares about Elle etc. Family in other words. I do like that wikipedia contradicts itself for F9 in a way. It says Deckard Shaw was used to fake Han's death, then mentions how Deckard is surprised to see Han is alive. That ever retconned car explosion scene is definitely funny, but I gotta respect it. I've also gotta see that slightly extended cut of F9.

F9 is on HBO Max so I watched it and I dunno guys maybe it’s because I’m older now and thus more boring but this movie kinda sucked. The sibling rivalry thing felt fake and makes no sense if you spend more than 5 seconds thinking about it and I turned off the movie when Ludacris was strapped into a rocket-powered car on top of a transport aircraft that somehow two random nobodies could fly. Like at some point there’s no amount of suspension of disbelief that makes this look good.

I just did a holiday rewatch of the whole series and F9 is definitely the worst. There are 2 things about the rocket car that bug me. First is that they try to set the whole thing up throughout the movie with Roman going on about their apparent invincibility, which is just way too meta of a gag for my liking in this series (and I think at the point in the film where he first brings it up it isn't even true? Han's reveal comes later). And the second thing is that the rocket car scene is technically a little bit of action that involves a car but there is no actual driving. What really brings the movie down is the reliance on Cena as the villain, who is not a threat because we're just waiting for the inevitable teamup because Charlize Theron appears so early and has somehow become the Blofeld of the series. Part and parcel with Cena being a non-villain is how much screentime we need for the unsatisfying Dom & Jacob backstory. He just lets Dom think he murdered their father for absolutely no gain?

My main problem with F9 was how they wasted Cena. Peacemaker Cena would be great in the franchise.

F9 is fun because they have to manually shift the rocket car into gear in space. Also so many magnets. Roman is given an actual comedic role vs just being part of a Ramsey love triangle with Tej. In general, the nice aspect about 9 is how much the spotlight is shared. It’s Tej and Roman who go to space for the big memorable stunt. Ramsey gets the fun scene of not knowing how to drive. Han has his own plot line, Mia and Letty get some big action and emotional scenes. Obviously Dom has the big showdown at the end and his hulk destroying the stair case scene, but there’s a lot of good stuff given to others.

You’re not wrong. F8 and F9 are both bad. The franchise ends at F7 with Brian driving off into the sunset.

The Snyder-era DCU lineup is being scrapped for the James Gunn refresh so I imagine we'll see more of this type of thing. Also Gal will go from having like three lines per movie to being a featured player.

Was F9 a covid film? Because some shots look really loving weird, mostly in the beginning of the film. Some actors look composited into shots, weird camera placement and editing that doesn't match up action and reaction, ect. I complained about it when I saw it too. I was mildly entertained by 9 but the series has been diminishing returns since 6.

lin is still credited as screenwriter on imdb for ffx (and i presume ffx-2), which considering him getting fired is kinda sad as its the only ff movie for which he has a credited screenplay

That's a tabloid paper. Just saying, because I dunno, it's just funny that people would take it at face value. It's like linking the onion or something. And the quotes are such classic clickbait, it reminds me of those wrestling news sites back when I was watching. Not to say Vin isn't kooky. But hey, Justin is still on as a producer, it doesn't seem that crazy of a situation really. Now we've got The Transporter guy bringing the French power to the film, I think he's ready for a comeback. And Lin's writing will be in the mix somewhere.

We know who is in that family... Nic Cage! The king, who must bestow us with his presence in Fast 11. My friend is probably gonna throw on his new dodgy western tonight, I don't see why he isn't in F11 (Editors note: I don't have my glasses on, I saw the word Ford, Francis Ford, Harrison Ford, all good)

They do still live life a quarter mile at a time. Quarter mile a second that is, in their hyper cars fueled by love from hacking into the Family Dimension.
