What villain actually had a good point?

View all responses

I’m assuming that they mean a movie villain when they ask this question. I’m a big fan of the Toy Story franchise. I just saw the fifth movie in theatres. I would have to say that my favorite villain is Pete the prospector from Toy Story 2. To me, that one was the best movie of the franchise. Having said that I wouldn’t recommend Toy Story 5. If I’m being honest, movie companies are doing everything they can to bring nostalgia back. However, I feel like every good franchise needs to end. I mean, this one barely felt like Toy Story and it just seems to me like it was thrown together and mixed with modern time. It’s like they just said, “Hey here’s Woody and Buzz Lightyear in 2026. Let’s see how much nostalgia we can bring back to modern theatres. Let’s see if we can recreate that 90’s vibe. Does anybody feel young again?” Trust me, I’m a fan of the 90’s and nostalgia as much as anybody else but as hard as it is for me to accept, those days are over. In my mind, you can’t mix 90’s times with modern times. It’s just not as fresh in my mind. Toy Story had a really great run but the fact is that all good things need to end at some point. It should have stopped with the 3rd or 4th movie. To me, the fifth installment doesn’t mesh well with modern times. Toy Story has run it’s course and while I will always be a fan of it, the franchise needs to come to an end soon. I mean, they have to be running out of ideas. Having said that, as I scroll through YouTube, I find videos that hint of possible sequels. I don’t know how much further they can possibly bring this franchise but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Despite my feelings on this, if another one does come out, I would be open to seeing it. I don’t think it will be as good as the first and second movies were. I recently started watching the other four movies on Disney Plus. I will watch them in order and so far I have watched the first and second movie. This is how much of a fan I am of Toy Story.

Once again, my favorite movie villain is Pete the prospector from Toy Story 2. I realize that I may have gotten a little off topic but if I had to choose, it would definitely be Pete the prospector.
