Nonviolent J posted:gently caress OFF I agree. While Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope should be free to explore their creativity unfettered from their larger group efforts, something about their solo albums just seem off. Like Outkast, they are far more powerful together as the Posse.

Highlander series is the greatest example of all of this because the first film is perfectly constructed to leave no room for a sequel. There are immortals, there can be only one, all of them fight and at the end only one is left and he has the prize. It ties a beautiful little bow on the whole thing and is indicative of a time when people cared about making a satisfying film more than sequel/franchising potential. Each unnecessary sequel has to completely re-write the first film in an insane attempt to justify its existence, after which the NEXT sequel also ignores that one. Highlander II - ACTUALLY, the immortals are aliens sent from the planet Zeist and the winner of the prize can choose to go back to Zeist or live life as a mortal, so you see, there's more story to be told... Highlander II Renegade Cut - ACTUALLY, the immortals are sent from the past on Earth because a group of watchers doesn't anyone to win the prize during their time. And more guys are coming from the past, so you see, there's more story to be told... Highlander III - ACTUALLY, none of that ever happened. You THOUGHT Connor won the prize, but you see, there were some other immortals trapped in a cave so whatever he won wasn't ACTUALLY the prize and he needs to win it again, so you see, there's more story to be told... Highlander The Series - ACTUALLY, it just so happens that TWO guys from the same Scottish clan were immortals and this one is going to win the prize, so you see, there's more story to be told... Highlander Endgame - ACTUALLY, Connor didn't win the prize, a bunch of watcher dudes captured him and secluded him in a temple because they didn't want him to win the prize, but he needs to team up with his cousin to stop ANOTHER dude who isn't the Kurgan from winning the prize, so you see, there's more story to be told... Highlander The Animated Series - ACTUALLY, it just so happens that THREE guys from the same Scottish clan were immortals... gently caress OFF. None of that happened. Connor Macleod won the prize and that's it.
