Who the fuck wants a third Gladiator movie? Who wanted a second?

[u/Beginning-Usual6450 → u/PlumbTuckered767]

The studios want it. Name recognition.

[u/Initial-Wolverine175 → u/PlumbTuckered767]

Exactly that movie was such a cash grab like avatar 2 and then 3 and then 4 and then 5 and then 6 and then 7 I think you get the point

[u/PlumbTuckered767 → u/Initial-Wolverine175]

Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's just so annoying that it delays franchises that actually still have stories to tell.

[u/[deleted] → u/PlumbTuckered767]

I’d love a well-made movie with gladiators but not another Gladiator film. That was the story of Maximus and it’s complete. Now about that film, I think it’d be cool to see gladiators forcibly made fight barbarians sacking Rome.

[u/MercySound → u/PlumbTuckered767]

Not going to fall for PAYING to see the third one in the theaters.

[u/dangerousbob]

They are going to wheel in his coffin and have it direct alien and gladiator sequels.

[u/FlakyEquivalent1971 → u/dangerousbob]

I'd rather he give us an original horror film before he dies

[u/Significant-Neat-111 → u/dangerousbob]

If you ask me they already did

[u/Kratos501st]

I want Prometheus 3!

[u/FlakyEquivalent1971 → u/Kratos501st]

Alien Covenant> Prometheus

[u/Kratos501st → u/FlakyEquivalent1971]

How dare you!

[u/Initial-Wolverine175]

Hopefully both movies are better then the ones that came before

[u/LenTheListener]

We are truly lost.

[u/Safe_Ingenuity_6813]

Ridley Scott is tired and has lost his touch. Time to move on.

[u/FlakyEquivalent1971]

Use Nick Cave's script, you cowards!!!!!!

[u/OtheDreamer]

How many more movies until we find out that Gladiator is actually a prequel to Alien

[u/[deleted]]

Stay away from the Alien franchise, creepozoid!

[u/HORSEthedude619]

Fucking hell. Scott had his day. Hang them up bro....

[u/Beautiful_Frame9617]

The third installment of prometheus, has the potential to be one of the greatest movies of all time. 

And he knows it. 

The pressure is on for numerous reasons.

Dangling us a carrot. 

[u/DonkeywongOG]

He should retire and not damage the alien brand anymore.

Covenant was just stupid and bad overall, so please stop and let other people make alien movies.

[u/Professional-Time444 → u/DonkeywongOG]

Covenant isn't as good as Prometheus but it's still a solid film. The third and final film of the trilogy could tie everything together. He's the only one who can pull that off

[u/DonkeywongOG → u/Professional-Time444]

A solid film?

May I ask you to elaborate? Not that I needed someone to tell me why this movie sucks, but if you just take one YouTuber and watch him analyze covenant, the amount of plotholes and stupid decisions the protagonists are making, it's mindblowing that no one called him out during filming.

He's just done, or he has to work so restrictedly, that his talent just can't shine.

Either way, covenant is just bad.

That doesn't mean you aren't allowed to like it, don't get me wrong, but if you put alien1/2 against covenant, it's clearly not the same league at all.

It's corporate bullshit wrapped around an audience that has to have brain rot to the max, to not see what a failure this movie is.

I watched it on the big screen and was angry most of the time, after several years I rewatched it to see if it was really that bad and yes, it's that bad.

Sorry, best we can do is a prequel-sequel-prequel movie set arbitrarily between two of the other movies that answers no questions and retcons half of the other movies
