Mindy: oh my God! He's making a requel!
Samantha: a what
Owen: a reboot/ sequel
Mindy: exactly or a legacyquel fans are torn on the terminology
Chad: God please speak English
Mindy: remember the stab movie that came out last year
Liv: oh yeah! The one the knives out guy directed right I actually really liked that one
Mindy: of course you did you have terrible taste
Liv: I hate you
Mindy: the point is the hard-core stab fans hated it you go on 4chan and dreadit all they're talking about is how stab 8 pissed on their childhoods
How they crammed in social commentary just to make it elevated
How the main character is a Mary Sue
Richie: what's a Mary Sue
Wes: you really don't want to know
Amber: what's wrong with elevated horror I mean Jordan peele fucking rules
Mindy: obviously but that's not stab
Real stab movies are meta slasher whodunits full stop
Samantha: come on it's just a movie
Mindy: no it's not to some people the original is their favorite thing in the world the movie that made them love horror that mom or dad showed them when they were ten that bonded them together and God help anyone who slightly fucks with that special memory who makes a movie they think disrespects it it sounds like our killer is writing his own version of stab 8 but doing it as a requel
Dewey: which is
Mindy: see you can't just reboot a franchise from scratch anymore the fans won't stand for it black Christmas child's play flatliners that shit doesn't work but you can't just do a straight sequel either you got to build something new but not too new or the internet goes bug fucking nuts
It has to be part of an ongoing story line even if the story shouldn't have been ongoing in the first place new main characters yes but supported by and are related to legacy characters
Not quite a reboot not quite a sequel
Like the new Halloween saw terminator jurassic park Ghostbusters fuck even star wars!
It always always goes back to the original!
Samantha: are you telling me that I'm caught in the middle of fan fucking fiction
Mindy: not just in the middle Sam
You and Owen are the stars
Liv: so not to put too fine a point on it
But according to requel rules who's next
Mindy: going by pattern whoever it is has to be connected to someone that came before
(As everyone looks over at Dewey and owen)
Dewey: I'm starting to regret coming here
Owen: you and me both dad
Wes: Jesus my mom was a character in one of them
Mindy: no one cares about the shitty inferior sequels Wes you're safe
(Looking at chad) with randy as our uncle though you and I are probably screwed
Chad: wait what
Richie: or you're the killer and this whole elaborate monologue is just to cover your tracks
