Well, I find that very encouraging because I was hearing some negativity about Afterlife but I didn't want to go digging and spoil the whole thing for myself, as I don't know when I'll get to see it given the local situation. It feels fitting for them to take the approach you're describing - would I be right in getting a "Rocky Balboa, but with gadgets" vibe in terms of how it relates to the previous films?

And YES, I am as ever glad to see your Stop Hiding Nuts In Foods manifesto. People need to catch themselves on.

The movie is fan-service to a nearly distracting degree. However, the writing is light, deft, and the whole movie is really effectively shot and directed. This movie is definitely a hand-off to something else.
