You can't deny it is pretty disheartening that they went with a literal copy-paste of a scene from the first movie as a poster. Pure nostalgia bait.

Yes, we have no idea what the movie will be like, but this particular poster is definitely an example of a product being done for all the the wrong reasons. Whether it reflects on the movie itself or just the marketing department is another matter.

I… do not agree. A poster that triggers nostalgia? It tells me nothing about the project.

It might be shitty, it might be fantastic.

I mean... that's true. But it's a MARKETING poster, put together by the marketing team - not the writers or creatives on the movie. Its intent is to get people to remember the original so they come to see this one. It's not supposed to be a high concept art piece. They'd be stupid not to lean into nostalgia.

What matters is the final film, and if it does the same thing.
