Enough cinematic universes. Let’s turn it around and dramatically reveal in the third movie of a trilogy that every movie in it was secretly entirely unrelated to the other two

With exactly as much gravitas as Nick Fury telling Tony Stark about the Avengers Initiative

there's just a bunch of people with the same names

Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi like “I can still sense the good in you, Uncle”

“Even though you killed my father, Yoda”

in the second movie it's Bigger Luke

it's not exactly this but there's a star trek voyager episode that feels topical here, where the big twist at the midpoint is that they're all clones on an exact copy of voyager and they're probably all going to die without the real voyager crew ever knowing they existed

That’s dark

It Sure Is

(although hilariously I just remembered it's actually not this at all because it's also a sequel to a previous episode)

Goddammit
