I don't even mind there being a huge elaborate web of relations and context, the real issue imo is that it's all just fucking slop and self reference and The Reddit Idea of Being Epic, meaning that the movie isn't here introducing you to a whole mythos of connected stories like it purports, it's just giving fucking homework of watching old shitty movies and and shows to get shallow references in new shitty movies and shows, and there's no real purpose to it except to make you pay more money to consume more product. It doesn't have interesting ideas or messages, it just wants you to clap when the thing explodes and action man says the line that he said 5 movies ago and also 3 movies ago.
