Pixar made possibly the most perfect trilogy in the history of cinema with the Toy Story movies, and then made Toy Story 4, about which no one can remember anything, even (or perhaps especially) if they saw it. I mention this for no reason whatsoever.

Apple TV+ has formally confirmed that Ted Lasso is coming back, with Jason Sudeikis still in the starring role.

A third season would have been sacrilege.
But, nope.
The rest of the books are in the OMW universe. Different stories. Big difference.
(From a certain point of view)
It also undid much of TS 3 with its ending of “woudybresigns himself to being a shared toy”, which no doubt stockholders approved of.

If the toys are analogous to a child growing, Toy Story 4 is middle aged self actualization.
But by TS4, Andy is grown & identifies as dad, but is finally able to come to grips with his own identity, let go of his hang ups & false responsibility & live his own life.
Who Bonnie & BoPeep are can be discussed/debated.
He didn't want to be there
Neither did the audience
P.S. Great story, "The Tale of the Wicked" ... working my way through various SF anthologies.
So I have even fewer hopes now.

Even if this ends up being good somehow it ruins that.
TS1 lesson-Parents love you even if new baby gets more attention
TS3 lesson-Its okay to let go of childhood. You're going to be fine
TS4 lesson-Your family will be fine. You can do something to make YOU happy.
TS2 lesson: you're playing with your mom's toy? 🤷♂️
Four kinda sorta does go *there* in a softer way with the goodbyes.
And I have no idea how they'll gome close to either with Toy Story 5.
And did I mention that it's a comedy?
horrific tale of Gabby Gabby, the kidnapping, slaver, and organ harvester who makes Stockholm Syndromes Sporky. Don't even get me started. I cannot even believe they filmed this ...nightmare.
I’m hoping TPTB recognize that even though lots of people wanted a season 4, Ted Lasso’s new season can’t just be a continuation.
But also with the world being an even bigger, steaming tire fire than when Ted stepped onto that plane 3 years ago, maybe a little more Nice isn’t a bad thing. I’ll watch.
