2017 is a year of sequels. So much of modern culture is references back to what was once great, and emerging in new ways. Whether it is Star Wars, Blade Runner, Logan, or Guardians of the Galaxy, culture finds ways to keep referencing itself. In a season when the Seattle Sounders attempted to follow up the magic of their 2016 MLS Cup win, looking to other sequels is natural.
But, these shared universes are not my universes. There are other sequels that appeal to me a bit more than those movie franchises. I look at the explosion of Dungeons & Dragons.
