  2. unmapped (tentpole hope) · through Dune (1984), which they acted in: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope ⇒ Dune (the host's read). Dune was meant to be the new Star Wars franchise, Lynch writing the sequel, coloring books on shelves.
    “I thought it was going to be the Star Wars.”

Blade (1998): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through X-Men (2000), which they acted in: Blade ⇒ X-Men (the host's read). Blade is credited as the film that set the tone for the modern superhero era, with X-Men following two years later.

Deadpool (2016): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Logan (2017), which they acted in: Deadpool ⇒ Logan (the host's read). Deadpool started the shift to telling the best story true to one character, which Logan continued.

Star Trek: First Contact (1996): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Star Trek: Insurrection, which they acted in: Star Trek: First Contact ⇒ Star Trek: Insurrection (the host's read). Insurrection was a big Christmas release only because First Contact had been a hit.

  1. career (career sequence) · through Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), which they acted in: The Castle of Cagliostro ⇒ Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (the host's read). Cagliostro was poorly received by fans of the series, then Miyazaki struggled to get another film made, which led to the manga and then this film.
    “which is not well received, despite being a fucking awesome movie, because the fans thought it was too much of a departure from the series.”
