    They should do a super hero parody with puppets. Basically team America but it’s a parody of the avengers.

    Probably not. I mean the whole movie was a psudo-satire about the war on terror. But there were lots of internal contradictions that made the second half age terribly. The main message of the second half was that Iraq definitely does have WMDs and America might be annoying and brash and dumb but someone has to invade the middle east to fight evil!

    A sequel would either have to admit that there were no WMDs and the war on terror was open colonialism, or ignore the entire message of the first movie and pretend it never happened, or double down on saying actually it’s cool for the US to invade other countries.

      The making off of this movie is just as good as the movie itself. I fully understand why they would never do that again, but i’m glad they did. I remember that kimmy’s glasses alone were like 20k. It’s just overall a hassle and an expensive one at that.

    America is still enforcing its own systems through military means, is it not? It most definitely would work.

    God no, that film did not age particularly well. It was funny at the time, sorta, but it no longer works.

    Not much has changed, yet. Twenty years from now they might need to change the team logo. For me the whole dicks and pussies spiel is still resonating.
