Tough to tell your own story, be a backdoor pilot for a new character & series, and also lay groundwork for another movie. The interconnectedness is a selling feature, but it's also a hinderance when it's not used right. Reading some of these remarks makes me think the balance was off on this one. Especially when little mid-credit and post-credit teasers have worked well as scaffolding as the movies to date have rolled out.
