Or

Am I watching a Katana coming of age story?

And I felt like because I was watching both, it drew away from me caring about them.

But then also because the stakes are so low, you know what I mean?

Oh, the stakes are so low.

If you're going to zombify people after they die,

then I don't know how much I care about their origins in that way.

So I'm glad they didn't go deeper into that.

They just basically say, washed up actor, here's Johnny Cage, let's go.

And I'm fine with that.

Stephen, I think you're right in terms of the parts of it that seem like they're wink-wink to the audience, kind of like tongue-in-cheek.

Or I said that was Sharknado-y.

Sharknado is in on the bit.

Sharknado was 100% in on the bit.

There was a few times with this movie where I was thinking, I don't think that you're actually in on the bit.

Mm-hmm.

Just a few, like you said, shaggy elements of dialogue, strange story beats.

If you're going to be fun and ridiculous, I'm totally good with that.

But if you're also trying to give me an emotional story, then I always want to be like, all right, guys, come on, man.

I don't need any emotion from Kibana.
