    “It almost feels like fucking gonna fly now playing at the end of Creed where you're like, the movie's worked this hard to earn the right.”

  6. lineage (lineage): Rocky → Creed. Creed closely follows Rocky's structure, but opens with Creed obviously able to fight, unlike Rocky's grim opening bout.
