I just realized, The Last Jedi and Thor: Ragnarok do the same thing: They strip away a franchise’s iconography to prevent anyone from using it as a crutch, forcing an iconic protagonist to evolve to heights hitherto undreamt of and come to grips with his own apotheosis

@tvaziri They did this with the Jurassic Park 30th anniversary re-release too. My girlfriend had never seen it, her first exposure to it was going to be in a theater, and she had “clever girl” and the reveal of the dinosaurs breeding all spoiled for her moments before the movie began
