    If they started this from square 1, ya know, kids modifying cars and racing, I’d be interested. But I’m sure it’s going to be more of this secret agent space station international drugs smuggling nonsense.

      I was just joking with my wife about the same thing. Four separate series where one is ‘normal,’ one is set in space, one is set under the ocean, and the last is set during the Jurassic period. “Dom fights off a T-Rex who’s dogging on his Challenger” could be the plot of the pilot episode.

      Now that I write this out, i seriously think they could probably do well with an animated series.

        The franchise was shit from the very beginning. It is just insanely popular shit.

        The last movie was still the fifth biggest of the year, so some folks still clearly enjoy the franchise.

          I havent watched many of them after the first 3, but I think they’ve fully embraced the absurdity and have a lot of fun with the stories. They’re not meant to be serious movies.

            Yeah, I’ve watched a couple. Not really my jam but I can get why people enjoy the big dumb fun of it all. (I want my dumb fun Mortal Kombat flavoured apparently.)
