It completely killed any narrative cohesion or pay-off by just ending. I remember thinking “it’s been a really long time… how are they going to wrap this up?”

Turns out the answer is “don’t wrap it up”. It truly makes me not recommend it - though I had other issues with it aside from just that absurd decision. Rewatch the first again, instead.

Wow, I just watched this for the first time yesterday. A fun movie - I really liked a lot of the effects and practical stuff!

Don’t know, I’ve never watched Family Guy. It means it’s trying to pretend it has deeper meanings but just comes off as shallow and pretentious. It’s a film of “Anderson-isms” with nothing of substance to show.

Interesting perspective. I thought it was his most obnoxious film to date. It was a movie that insisted upon itself and quite frankly bored and confused me. It was like no one said no to Anderson to reign him in at all.

Clearly you’ve avoided it if you think the film has anything to do with the white saviour trope. There’s no need to get so worked up about something you’ve made up completely.
