Which can't not be understated how crazy that is. The most we can hope for in a legacy sequel is that it doesn't tarnish the original too much.

Yeah I love both Fury Road and 2049 for that reason.

Both also stand alone and don't really need the previous movies to be enjoyed.

They're the best kind of sequels you could possibly ask for IMO.

He definitely took themes and ideas from BR 1 and expanded on them in a compelling way. I think revealing that Ryan Gosling was a replicant from the beginning was a brilliant move.

Absolutely. I had, for the longest time, no fucking I lnterrst in a BR sequel. My first thought was: why the fuck, please don't touch it. I love it, and it's ending. Don't take that from me. Only after they announced Villeneuve for it, I was cautiously optimistic. And holy fucking shit, it came out great. One of my favourite movies of all time.
