    But what if you *like* emoji movie sequels? ๐Ÿ˜€

      I like ice cream, but I wouldn’t want the world to end in it.

        I dunno. World Ending Ice Cream sounds almost as good as Death By Chocolate. ๐Ÿ™‚

          World Ending Ice Cream sounds like the beginning of a sequel to the Coronetto trilogy.

      But would you like nothing but Emoji movie sequels… for the rest of your life?

        It actually wouldn’t be any worse than what we currently have for mass media. And if we combined it with the isekai genre the possibilities become endless. Who would want to read a light novel with the title “My Next Life As An Emoticon; All Routes Lead To Pacman?” or “Rise of the Shield Emoticon”? ๐Ÿ™‚

          If its Whimsey, we’ll eventually wind up with a 3+ hour Emoticon Revengers movie…

        There is no mass media product so atrocious that there isn’t someone fervently defending it on the internet and throwing shade on those who say bad things about it.

    Instead of a sequel, what we really need is a Paramount+ spinoff: Poop, starring Sir Patrick Stewart.

    Make it so

      They already made that. It’s called Star Trek: Picard.

    Cheer up, we can still manage BOTH nuclear war AND Emoji Movie sequels!

      How about…A nuclear war between Emojis Movie sequels? ๐Ÿ™‚

        If all we get is emoji movie sequels, it could be the cause of the nuclear war.

          To be fair, that would do it for me. I’m sure it would tip Kim Jong Un over the edge…

    Try to see it this way.
    Do I have to keep on buzzing till we say โ€œSo long?โ€
    You can see it that way,
    Run the risk of seeing that your vision could be wrong.
    They can work it out,
    They can work it out.

    Think of what youโ€™re seeing.
    They could all be wrong, and still you think they could be right.
    Think of what Iโ€™m seeing,
    They could work it out without The Bomb or Sequels Light.
    They can work it out,
    They can work it out.

    Time is very short, without tea time,
    And plusses and minuses, then.
    I have spent my days to stop a crime,
    So I will tell you once again.

    Try to see it that way.
    A few days will show if I am right or I am wrong.
    If you see it this way,
    Thereโ€™s a chance weโ€™ll never know the answer before long.
    They can work it out,
    They can work it out.

    —from “We Can Work It Out,” written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, sung by The Beatles.

    I can envision a scenario in which governments react to outbreaks of Emoji Movie Sequel infection by invoking an Andromeda Strain sort of response… drop a nuke on the infected city. It’s the only way to keep a small downtown art-film matinee outbreak from spreading to the multiplex cinemas in the suburban malls.

    Nuclear sterilization has a bad tendency to get out of hand, though, especially when governments start “helpfully” sterilizing cities outside their own borders. Hence, nuclear war.

    General talking on Red phone: “Yes, Mister President, the movie has spread into Canada.”
    “I agree, Sir. We’ll put the poor bastards out of their misery. Nuking Ottawa is the least we can do for them now.”

    Gavotte and her daughter can mend. It’s different than what they intend. Proposed a solution to bring resolution. Confused? Well, it’s near the end.

      I’m not sure Gavotte would take too kindly to either herself or her daughter becoming lunch….

        No, not “swarm-a”… “Shawarma”. Totally different animal, both figuratively and literally.

          Or it could be shawarma made by bees.

            Shawarma with a touch of honey… I’d eat that.

        The only thing either became here was a pun that was also an Avengers reference, so no worries.

      I was thinking of hoisting a vanilla-and-chocolate swirl ice cream cone…in tribute to Unity…
