my favorite stat about this series is that the Yankees have a higher ERA in this ALDS than all position players who pitched in 2025 did

I watched it recently. I don’t know if it’s good or not but it’s still a lot of fun

I couldn’t make it past 15 minutes of Highlander 2.

that’s a good answer for the second category, although III is the film that sent the franchise off the rails

I agree with this. also regardless of where I’m watching the game I don’t want a clock in the ninth inning when it’s a save situation. watching an amped up reliever storm around the mound and firing up the crowd is something I miss

Police Academy fits this model very well

there are also sequels are so bad/ill conceived that they destroyed any possibility of a pair of movies becoming a franchise

given their inherent abilities isn’t a rainout an automatic Mariners win

Read this article and only one response stood out as anything other than zionist drivel.

You are on the right side of history, zionists are not. Do not pay any mind to the cries of a bunch of war criminals, sex pests, and grifters.

I understand the first point is a matter of opinion.

there are two ways to answer this question: original movie good, sequels all stink or sequel was fine but created a trajectory that ruined the franchise

T2 and Aliens are better movies than The Terminator and Alien imo but also you’re not wrong, those sequels led to a lot of movies that really strayed too far from the concept and/or weren’t good

was randomly thinking this morning about how franchises used to be sequels where you generally had to have most of the same characters and something tying the films back to the original and now we have β€œfranchises” like Bring It On where the β€œsequels” have nothing to do with the original

β€œNick Castellanos sucks and is the worst player I’ve ever seen” is garden variety irrationality. Every fanbase has takes like this.

β€œNick Castellanos is an affront to this fair city and this is an insult to me, personally” is such a Philadelphia take.

I don’t know if Philadelphia fans are the most irrational or not but I’ve never seen a fanbase take shit more personally than they take things.

The part of Philadelphia I lived in was like that. Impractical not to have a car but my wife and I shared one and getting to Center City or CBP was easy peasy via train/bus/subway

Yankee pitchers have a higher ERA in the ALDS than position players had during the regular season so sure, why not?

the Yankees have allowed 23 runs in two games so the logical scapegoat for all this is … Aaron Judge?

I envisioned a Clockwork Orange scenario where they’re forced to watch clips of old timey black and white games for hours until they’re conditioned to believe that Bunting Is Actually Good

I don’t begrudge any 80s comedian for taking the bag and doing a network comedy at a time when that was essentially the only game in town.
