90s Class Reunion

Sequels are never better than the original, apart from a couple of exceptions that come to mind. Which begs the questions, whomsoever is directing the current thriller does he intend to keep the ending the same as the original one? 

The roles have shifted, slight changes made in the cast, mainly due to some actors/actress not being present due to Covid or have unfortunately left the world in terrible incidents. An introduction of a third force was made a couple of years ago, which was generally greeted well by the audiences but twist and turns have left many confused. As always, the villain is portrayed as everyone involved, while who actually may be the real evil genius is still a million dollar question, or is it? That's the beauty of this universe, you can turn any fanfiction into reality because of the parallel storylines that are at play. For those who have watched Flash, a DC television show, they will find that far simpler to comprehend than this magnificent piece of production. 

The 2020 edition of this ever continuous production is set in the utopian Pure Land, which by now many fans of the show understand is to be understood as mockery on the behalf of the directors. A third world nation, still confused with its national identity, overgrowing with poverty and despair, divided along all lines with little or no morality in its people or leaders, but no lack of moral policing in all divisions of society. As set in 2020, Pure Land is again in the midst of a political crisis with an introduction of a new political movement termed as PLDP. We've still not been told what PLDP stands for but its representation is filled by A-list star studded performers. The alliance would shock probably anyone who is new to the production, which is why it is recommended to watch all seasons prior to watching the 2020 edition. The question is yet to be addressed as who will be the poster boy or girl to this movement, but in contention is a religious cleric, a foreign educated boy backed by his resourceful father, one of our favorites from past seasons Mr. Brick and the daughter of another of our favorites Mr. Why. Mind you the directors intentionally skipped showing the transition of power to the two children from their fathers but it can be presumed that the transition was smooth considering blood is the main requirement when it comes to passing down of power and rarely if ever have we seen power passed to someone who is not a blood relation. On paper the son represents a secular and a leftist ideology to an extinct, while the daughter again on paper shall move on with a religious, pro-businesses rightist ideology. It is strange to see the left and right align but anything can happen in Pure Land. Another confusion among viewers is how long lasting this alliance may be considering the religious leader has in the past seasons made it clear that he is not comfortable with a woman leading Pure Land, whereas the daughter and son have baggage because of history of their fathers. But we leave that for the directors to decide. PLDM is shown to be challenging the status quo, though it will be an interesting watch to how can the status quo challenge themselves. To give you a better understanding on how to understand and love this production, always remember the people of the Pure Land have short and long term memory loss disorder. Something even the viewers of the show have to install in themselves if they plan on continuing with this. 

As for the current forces in power, our third force from a couple of years ago Justice League, pardon me DC, have consolidated power and surely through help from heavenly powers. It did not make sense when it happened and fan fiction predicted that heavenly powers were used in removing the political elite, who had ruled for over 30 years, (now in PLDM) but now we are being led by the directors towards that narrative. One aspect that I truly loved was the way the power was divided, it surely did not give away right off the bat that heavenly powers were in play. 

It is a show down now, and a ton of action is to be seen in the coming episodes. From one angle it looks as if the dysfunctional partnership of the elite have reunited to take back the power which they rightly believe to be theirs for their own gains, but that's an extremely simplistic view. On the other hand it looks as if the new blood has atone for their sins and wants to rid away the heavenly powers and the third copy Justice League. I would not bet a penny on either, but it surely will be fun to watch.


To get a better idea of a possible ending watch the 90's edition of the show. 

Love to all.
