Sorry for the double post, but Tv's Adam West noticed something.
So, I was looking at my steam friends list and noticed my friends number seemed off, after some investigating, Bruno unfriended me on steam.

Bruno MIGHT be alive.

There also seems to be a new comment on his profile indicating he played recently.
This comment is from THIS YEAR as far as I can tell, his alleged suicide is from late 2024.

It was one of those “completely undo the ending/arcs so we can turn this into a franchise” kinda movies.
Its why I like 3 more.

Asside from some mild mischaracterization for present-K, its almost an indentical plot to MiB2, except it spends a third of the run time on character development instead of backtracking on the last movie's ending. I unfortunately also saw MiB International and its borderline unwatchable.
 
My God, was Men In Black II THAT BAD?
It had some funny jokes (I always crack up at the alien who had balls for a chin), but it was a very lazy retread of the first film. And the plot points of this one aren't really explained or make sense. The first three films all have the same basic plot layout: alien macguffin item on Earth, item center of an alien conflict, evil alien rampages on Earth looking for said item, MIB has to secure said item to ensure Earths survival.

The first film kept that plot simple and easy to explain so that there really wouldn't be too many questions left by viewers. 3 was a little bit more complex but they knew how to explain it. 2 required explanation and couldn't figure out how to do it. On top of that you had things like Jay's character arc getting dropped halfway into the film and things like Johnny Knoxville's character disappearing at the end without any explanation.

I know there were some reshoots due to 9/11 and some script rewrites. They also had a completely different ending with Jay getting shrunk down. I have feeling that 2 just had a bit more of a messy production and they just ultimately threw together whatever they had to the best of their ability.

Personally I like it, not as much as the other two movies, but it had some fun moments. And it seemed to be written by someone who really liked the cartoon they did after the movie came out, which I also liked.
I will hear no 3 slander here. The only time I enjoyed Pitbull's music.
It does the thing I hate with prequels where everything is tied up in one event rather than just having the obvious answer to K's personality being more dour in the present day just having him be worn down over the decades. Aside from that, it was a fun movie and way better than 2.
For me? It's still Alone in the Dark.
