Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning brings Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) on one last mission and the social reactions to the film seem to be a bit mixed. But what they’re mixed about, I have an issue with.
We’re in the era of franchises. It isn’t a new thing, we have loved a sequel for many a decade. However, franchises mean you have to know things going into each movie. The Marvel Cinematic Universe requires you to know a lot about the universe and these characters and the Mission: Impossible franchise does the same. So when I see social reactions complaining about having to know details from all the Mission: Impossible movies, I get a bit angry.
