   I won't be seeing this film for a while (I don't do theaters), but I   
   suggest that the answer to your question is:   
      
   they are marking their territory as dogs do -- by pissing on it   
      
   IOW, they don't want to be carrying on a tradition. They want to do   
   something New! and Different! so they will be Remembered! and don't   
   really care about what the earlier films did.
