@Weeble @coolboymew I mean yeah I'd prefer anything else but it makes sense to me. At least their old Jewish hollywood thought process does. They can't just start a movie in a world you don't understand with characters you don't know. Even if it's an IP that is recognizable to every single culture. The origin Isekai angle is perfect for easily introducing everything you need to in order to get the story going immediately.

That being said it's still uninspired trash for kids so who fucking cares?
