I reject this notion. The entire idea requires accepting that humanity needs to be subjugated to survive. This is what authoritarians believe and the fact that everyone just accepts it because a movie presents the concept with cool actions sequences is very disappointing.

The sequels are trash. Terrible weak storytelling that was greenlit because capitalist wanted to milk the success of the first film.

The problems of humanity cannot be solved with emotions, good or bad. Even if the reason is fated lovers. That’s the lizard brain being tickled. We suppressed ourselves with this nonsense. At least we get warm fuzzies while we do it, right? Totally worth all the suffering.
