          Okay, I was thinking there was a reboot when they changed from Roman numerals.

            it's a common misunderstanding and it's actually something of an in joke with the fandom. there's a really good edit someone made that basically changes the canonical order to be:

            The Mechanic (2010)

            The Mechanic II (2013)

            MECHANIC III: New Dawn (2022)

            The Mechanic 3 (2015)

            MECHANIC 2 (2020)

            MECHANIC (2019)

            The Mechanic: Revelations (2014)

            which works remarkably well. they actually brought back the original director from the first two the mechanic movies for new dawn, so stylistically it fits better even though it was made a decade later. the end result is a sort of rashomon version of the mechanic narrative. it's really a must watch for mechanic fans.

                    I'm thinking it would be part of a franchise. It goes like this:

                    Mordecai's Adventure (moderate hit)

                    Mordecai Returns (critically panned but does well on video)

                    Mordecai Strikes Again (mostly a flop)

                    Mordecai Goes To The Beach (attempt at reviving the series by taking a big swerve, nobody has faith in the project, does shockingly well)

                    Mordecai's Christmas (straight to video, does okay in rentals, fans think it's an underrated gem)

                    Mordecai's School Daze (not great, maybe bring him to the beach again?)

                    Mordecai Goes To The Beach Again (does very well, people just cannot get enough of him at the beach)

                    Mordecai's Jailhouse Rock (pretty good)

                    Mordecai's Surfin Hawaiian Adventure (an attempt to keep the magic of Mordecai going to the beach without it feeling like a reused concept)

                        I have a few more:

                        Mordecai's Madness (original actor quits, producers decide to go with a dark and gritty tone to differentiate from earlier films, new actor is a guy with 1/10'th the charisma, bombs horribly, series is finished for years)

                        Mordecai (2010s attempt at a franchise revival, trendy actor in the lead role, updates the style and tone of the first few movies for the young millennial audience while still trying to be faithful to the core concept, single scene of Mordecai at the beach as a wink to the audience, original actor appears in a cameo role that everyone loves, mostly well-received and makes money, hardcore fans divided)

                        Mordecai: New Dawn (Sequel to the revival, makes money back but somewhat underperforms expectations, script went through too many revisions with takes from different screenwriters, leaving the story feeling a bit confused and bloated, probably a half hour too long)

                        Mordecai's Adventures (Hulu original series, whole new cast, beloved side character Sparks re-imagined as a woman, seriously dividing the fanbase with some saying the show is ruined by wokeness while others say the Mordecai movies were always woke, series lasts for three seasons before being abruptly cancelled and buried by the algorithm)

                        Third Mordecai reboot movie? (occasional articles about people trying to get it made but it never seems to materialize)

                          Aww, the Mordecai series really fell off. Whe will they make another like Mordecai at the Beach?

                            The Hulu series had beach episodes that are generally received very well. But the future of the franchise is in doubt.

                                They're so stupid. The Mordecai movies were always progressive. Mordecai Goes To The Beach was really ahead of its time on its portrayal of gay characters.

      If it's heroin, meh, it's called rent or whatever. If it stars two dudes in a horse costume, it.there opening night

        I didn't know horse was a slang term for heroin until I read that.

        It's about a society where some people are horses and some people are two people in a horse costume, but our main character is two people in a horse costume who want to be a horse.

          The land be for thyme. It's about plucky herbalists that find out not only that find land that can grow thyme extremely quickly and effectively but also warps time itself. Thinking Stephen King vibes.
