>>134177508I don't know how to describe it but this seems like a specifically engineered joke. like this has a kind of logical progression designed to be comedic. you start with something normal but with a twist (movie based not on just a novel, but the sequel to a novel), you take that same thing and twist it some more (it's a sequel to that movie, but based on a completely unrelated novel), then add a rule of three unexpected punchline (movie 3 isn't actually based on anything at all, they just called it that for attention), add another punchline by bringing back the first two but twisting it to absurd levels (movie 4 is now based on an opinion piece), then finish it off with (movie 5 is actually a complete mystery)
