100% agree. It’s a fine twist on the subgenre, but the twist introduces an idea that begs to be expanded upon as part of a larger, cross-subgenre arc. And yet we only get a sliver and then it’s done.
My hot take is that Joss Whedon’s writing is like JJ Abrams’: perfect premises with bad sense of follow-thru, so all their work gets the Netflix “over before it’s satisfyingly concluded” treatment

If you want more you got SCP lol.
I feel like everything was explained. I’m not left with any lingering questions about why or how any of it happened
While I love the movie, but I got a few questions about the ancient one.
Ancient being that brings about the end of the world if his terror is not fed. Lives at the center of the world.
That’s a great point. It would be fun to see a G rated fantasy film that happens to exactly follow the rules to be a Cabin in the Woods prequel.
(Same enforcement of common tropes from much happier genres, but implying that the underlying reason is the same…)
