CapnAndy posted:It's endemic to movies ever since Marvel kicked the door down. I call it franchise smugness, which is a terrible name, but I can't think of a better one: assuming you're going to get infinite sequels and that means you don't actually have to resolve anything about the plot and can just spend 2 hours waving around easter eggs and blathering out exposition. The worst offenders of this in my opinion are X-men Origins Wolverine and Batman V Superman. In the former case it kept on setting up spin-offs literally much the entire film including after the loving credits. As a result the film was so poo poo that the two next films (X-men origins: Magneto and First Class) were merged into one film which went out of it's way to have gently caress-all to do with the previous movie, was retconned via time fuckery in the film after that (Days of Future Past,) and then directly mocked in the one film that was supposed to be a spin off of (Deadpool.) There is still one flim in development that was originally intended to be a spin off of Origins buts its pretty much been in development hell since it's inception, and if it ever comes out, it too with have gently caress all to do with Origins. Now in Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman's entire loving subplot was there just to bloat out the runtime and stick in advertisements for not just a spin off of Batman V Superman (Wonder Woman,) but for spin offs of the next mainline entry of the series. I mean the film literally came to a stop right before the final act of the film to show us teaser trailers for spin offs of the Justice League.
