Really it's nothing more than an empty cockltease for the reasons I stated above.
Mind control doesn't amount to jack shit unless there are real risks and real dangers to the main characters.
Hell I'd be happy just to have real danger to the main characters and effects that stick with them throughout the sequels.
But no. Reset button ahoy! Money money money! Lets run this franchise into the ground! Bring on the Direct to Video sequels! Bring on the shitty licensed games! How far can we push this franchise until it becomes a zombie?
You expected character deaths in the superhero movie for pre-teens?
Pixar may have mastered entertaining adults while playing to the child audience, but they are still marketing for the youths. There was never going to be stakes. Best we get is implied danger like when Rob almost snapped Mirage in the first film.
Did Infinity War not sate your bloodlust?
And I’ll take a franchise zombie if it’s one installment a decade.
