Critics.

Critics.

What I'm seeing on my feed, which might be different from what you're seeing on yours, but I am seeing people say it was more intricate or slightly more complex than the first.

Fair, fair.

Well, yeah.

And there is something about the way you hold on to this first movie.

It's perfect.

See, I didn't find the first movie perfect.

I think it's perfect.

There's a reason actually that I didn't watch it for 10 years.

Like I watched it once and like never went back to it until recently.

So interesting.

And when I went back to it and watched it a couple of weeks ago, I was like, oh, this is a good movie.

Like, this is a great movie.

But I don't think I have this, like, otherworldliness about the first where I really didn't want the second to have any impact on my experience of the first.

Like, I don't hold it that closely.

And I didn't find it higgledy-piggledy.

I thought it was clever and incisive and so modern in a way that wasn't cringe.

You know, so often we talk about this a little bit on the show in books or films where

when something is telling a modern story and then they bring up TikTok and then they bring up COVID and you're immediately transported out of it and it feels try hard and cringe.
