  Watching Mark of Werewolf with Naschy

  
  Ah, the one that started it all. I had to think for a moment which one that is, such is the trouble with it having multiple names.

  It's a mess. Would it not be better for the human race if The Entity were destroyed? What the hell was all that with Luther? And there isn't enough meat on the bone to justify the bloated runtime. If there is another one, then the series needs a back to basics film, closer to the original film, or even the tv series.
  
  1. Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)
  2. Mission Impossible (1996)
  3. Mission Impossible III (2006)
  4. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011)
  5. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (2023)
  6. Mission Impossible 2 (2000)
  7. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)
  8. Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (2025)

  
  The Luther thing, I think, was a result of the successful audience response to how they handled Val Kilmer in Top Gun Maverick. They wanted that legacy character send off, the death of a long time character the audience would react to, and thus Luther was chosen. It is a lot less successful here as it doesnt come across as genuine.

  
  I guess it had to be Luther really, he's been there since the beginning, and his death would propel Ethan to go after Gabriel (speaking of Gabriel, why did he suddenly become Dick Dastardly?) more than anyone else.
  
  
  Though I haven't seen TG: Maverick, considering Kilmer's health at the time, and his passing since, I don't doubt it has a greater impact on the audience.
