   After the creative disappointment of the extremely weak Star Wars: The Last   
   Jedi, which was the second film in the sequel trilogy, the final film in the   
   sequel trilogy, Rise of Skywalker, is perhaps best characterized as a film   
   that felt like the writers were trying to play it safe and not do too much   
   wrong. In the end, the film did very little right and became a predictable   
   McGuffin quest movie and generally very paint by numbers. But playing it safe   
   definitely felt like that was the game plan from the beginning. Don't try to   
   do anything that might upset the fans too much. Just deliver a serviceable   
   conclusion to the trilogy. Bring it to an end. And the film probably could   
   have worked a lot better had it not been centered around a Mary Sue such as   
   Rey, but we've already discussed that long ago. The reason I'm bringing this   
   up is because the more I hear about Avengers Doomsday, the upcoming MCU   
   movie, the more I believe that playing it safe will once again be the name of   
   the game for Disney.
