I have watched numerous movies where literally all I wanted was to enjoy more of the world that was created. I wouldn’t even mind if there was literally no plot involved.
Movie wraps up with a perfect ending? Just release an extended ending!
Sometimes I just want to watch those characters enjoy their happy ending and get to explore more of the lore and the world.
Just finished up project hail Mary and…
Spoilers?
Tap for spoiler
All I want is a sequel where it explores the world of Erid before he gets sent home. Talk to more eridians, learn some of their culture and traditions. Maybe even have permanent communications established between them and earth and scientists and people just talk with them.
I don’t even care if there’s much of a plot, just story.
I’m still waiting for Bright 2….
What you’re looking for is fanfiction.
Half Baked sequel
Possibly deep cut but the BBC miniseries Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
Based on an incredible book set in the Regency period about magic and magicians, the world is just so cool, I’d love another episode just about people making statues talk and enchanting the weather and stuff
I read the book, never knew there was a TV adaptation.
I know what im doing this weekend!
The Chronicles of Riddick
Yeah I know they made ‘Riddick’, it’s okay and a nice step back into more of what Pitch Black was. But I wanted to know more about the Elementals, the Necromongers, other races that were extinguished, or like the Furyan… thought to have been purged.
Edit: Tossing in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets as a bonus. Another cool world I wanted to see more of.
Technically there was a movie (Serenity), but whatever got me more of the Firefly universe. The characters were just so much fun, their banter alone would be enough for me. Thankfully, there’s supposedly an animated revival in the works - announced several months ago by the entire original cast (edit: sans Ron Glass of course 😔).
Wait really? I saw Fillion doing the “so are we doing this?” Skits with all the other actors a while ago, but I then heard it was for a podcast. I wasnt aware its actually going to be an animated revival. Thats great.
I am a leaf on the wind 💔
There’s also a bunch of comics, some are excellent.
I’d watch a Guardians of the Galaxy movie that was just 3 hours of the characters interacting with each other and otherwise going about their day. I’m confident that they wouldn’t need a plot to be entertaining.
I’d also just enjoy watching Rocket for 3 hours if I’m being perfectly honest.
Draw and Pom. All day long.
I cant think of any examples myself, but if you’ve only seen the project hail mary-movie, I’ve got great news for you!
Tap for spoiler about Project Hail Mary
The book contains so much more info about Eridians and Erid, including biology and culture, interactions between all the characters (both on earth and in space), and the science. It’s a damn worthwhile read even if you already know the plot.
This is kind of why I watched Rings of Power. The plot has many problems but I just wanted to see more of middle-earth.
Flow already didn’t have much plot but I’d love some more hours of those animals navigating around their world.
Agreed on Hail Mary too.
I stopped watching Marvel movies because I found the plots virtually nonexistent. And don’t get mad at me, dear reader, if you love them. That’s okay, I’m not taking that away from you. I’m just saying how I felt.
So I don’t know if I would sign on to your theory. I did enjoy a lot of the characters but it didn’t carry an ironman or Thor movie for me.
I would like a sequel of Hail Mary though.

My guess is that Grace’s life on Erid is just not interesting enough. In that he will probably just die there. The gravity, the nutritional problems - he is so worn out he probably wouldn’t survive his trip back, coma or not. I would like a story set in the same universe where humans deal with the multiple crises while Grace and Rocky are getting the Taomeba, how they infect Venus with it once the Beatles came home, how Strat deals with her predicted abuse of power lawsuits, and how later the Eridians show up with Grace’s body encased in Xenonite, bringing their saviour home, to a chaotic Earth that’s just recovered and thinks it’s Independence Day. The problem is just that we need to find a way to tell this story through the lens of a lone male wolf character because that’s what the author does best.
I would watch infinite Clue sequels where they just shuffled the evidence cards and started a new game.
I want to watch the hound and aria bitch at each other while walking arounf for 15 seasons.
