🎲

Film franchise whose first installment is praised for minimal worldbuilding ('cursed Aztec gold') while sequels are criticized for excessive exposition

Mentions (5)
"Saw someone talking about how the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels had more complex worldbuilding that the original, as if that was a good thing. The first one knew that no one needed exposition beyond 'cursed Aztec gold' and that's a big part of why it's the only one most people like."
"In terms of character writing in pulp fantasy Star Wars is one-upped by pretty much anything from the 2000s, when LOTR and Narnia started getting adapted and genuinely good screenwriting even in Blockbusters was something they aimed to do like in the Pirates of the Carribean films."
"I knew he had lonely middle-aged lady fans and I knew because I read their blogs during my Pirates of the Caribbean fandom days but at some point you gotta move on."

"I don't care, they're so fun. The first three especially. Too bad they ruined Johnny Depp"
