[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9027925, member: 6790260"] They're making a Final Fantasy X movie?! I kid, I kid. I know it's the film franchise which [I]absolutely refuses[/I] to have a consistent naming scheme between its films. As in, it's very difficult to find a pattern between [I]any two movies[/I], let alone a pattern for the whole thing. Also, as a reflection of the aforementioned anti-pattern, the film is actually called "Fast X," the first and thus far only film to use roman numerals in the title. [SPOILER="For anyone curious, because it's a beautiful trainwreck"]The released films of the "Fast & Furious" franchise are: [I]The Fast and the Furious 2 Fast 2 Furious The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Fast & Furious Fast Five Fast & Furious 6 Furious 7 The Fate of the Furious[/I] (sometimes stylized as "[I]The F8 of the Furious[/I]") [I]F9[/I] (that's it, that's the full and actual title; it can also be considered "[I]F9: The Fast Saga[/I]," but that's not the official title.) [I]Fast X [/I](just came out this past week!) There will be two as-yet-unnamed sequels to [I]Fast X[/I], the second of which will conclude the series, [I]probably[/I] because Vin Diesel wants to retire and/or move on with his life. By the time the twelfth movie comes out, he'll likely be 59-60 or older, and will have spent the better part of his career doing these movies. Lack-of-pattern examples: Films 1, 3, and 4 do not reference numbers at all, and film 8 arguably doesn't either (as the [I]official[/I] title does not use the "F8" style.) Of those that (potentially) use numbers, films 2 and 6-9 use arabic numerals, film 10 uses roman numerals, and film 5 uses the [I]word[/I]. "And" is used, rather than the ampersand, in films 1 and 3, but this is reversed for films 4 and 6; no other films use a phrase requiring it. Only the first four films, plus film 6, actually use both words, and both word have been dropped twice. I genuinely find this almost [I]insistent[/I] effort to avoid any kind of pattern to be just delightful. Whoever has been writing these titles probably figured out around the fourth or fifth movie that the franchise had [I]zero[/I] pattern and just decided to lean into it. I'm genuinely kind of hoping that they do a partial homage to [I]Ocean's Eleven[/I] and call the penultimate film "[I]The Furious Eleven[/I]." Exactly like that, with the word fully spelled out.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
