It's kind of funny how after winning an Oscar for serious drama, she pivoted to shlocky franchise action movies.
That appears to be the rule. Just look at Nic Cage, Adrien Brody, Alicia Vikander, and Halle Berry.
FAMILY!
I mean, how else is she going to fit in with the street racers turned hypercompetent OP superspies? Tho as the newbie she'll be even more superduper OP hypercompetent. Until Fast & Furious 11, when she'll be demoted to just regular OP hypercompetent to make the new villain seem more superduper OP hypercompetent. See also the rest of the cast. Unless you're Tyrese Gibson, then you're the everbuttmonkey.
How... surprising that there's an overlap between a massivley saturated genre of blockbusters and another 12(?) movie series of blockbusters.
Like if you're an a or b list actor and haven't been yanked into a superhero role at this point, prettysure they're actively avoiding it.

This should have been on the general news thread, but okay. Still not seeing it. I have not seen 8, 9, nor Hobbes and Shaw. I'm not dealing with over glorified live action fanfics at this point. Funny enough at the last title, there were certain anime fans expecting crossover with Fate Stay Night.
Back on topic, I consider Furious 7 the true end of the series. I stated this multiple times, all the way back before.

I think we're missing the bigger picture: there's going to be another Fast and Furious movie? They've gone to space; what else can they possibly do that anyone could possibly give a fuck about? Geezus, Hollywood; can you at least pretend to respect our intelligence?
Alt right grifters everywhere: ''REEEEEEEEEEEEE!'
Time!
They'll race through the streets of 1914 Sarajevo to prevent Brie Larson (disguised as Gavrilo Princip) from assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinant, thereby preventing the Great War and World War II.
Then, in Furious 12, they'll face off against evil alternate universe versions of themselves.
I've said it before and I said it again, once you go into space everything's a step backwards or too mundane. Becomes the same thing over and over again. Products like James Bond or Mario are the exception, not the rule. I said this before, and some people didn't listen.
There will be time or dimensional travel, but it'll be going forward. The crew will travel about 200 years into the future to make sure Toretto's great great grandchildren don't get killed.
The next step is multiverse theory. They travel through dimensions and each universe has a different outcome. One universe where Dom stayed in Mexico. Han never crashed in Tokyo. Street racing becomes more extreme and almost more like a death race, or underground blood sport advertised and televised on private networks. The possibilities are endless!

That's twice now that you've posted something that has infuriated me, mostly because you're probably not wrong.
Gotta give credit where credit is due, though (credit in the most objective of senses.) There's something to be said for managing to fleece audiences with ever-increasing levels of absurdity for over 20 years. At this point, studio execs have got to asking themselves "what WON'T these assholes pay to see? Why hasn't anyone called us on our bullshit yet??" I think the FaF franchise officially has more in common with Spongebob than it does any respectable cinematic outings. OH! See that?!? "FaF;" they're literally telling us they're "FaF-ing" about!
Cuz family!/s
In all seriousness, plenty of movie critics have called them out on this, but many fans and casual audiences don't care to listen. Ironic enough, there was a bit of backlash with 9 on the audience's part. The majority of critics actually enjoyed part 9. Not to mention, most critics didn't have a problem with part 5 or part 7. 7 is a bit more understandable though.

There's a lot to be said for a big dumb action franchise remaining a big dumb action franchise without disappearing up it's own butt.
I think it's because it hasn't pivoted to Obvious Propoganda the way others tend to
