Surprisingly, as a sequel, "Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak" has shown novelty and creativity in many aspects. "Video Game Yumanji" adapted from the 1995 version of Jumanji, this setting is quite interesting, but on the other hand, it increases the difficulty of making a sequel. In "The Video Game Yumanji", which elements are variable? What will be the impact of changes in related elements? Will the audience like these changes? These are all things to consider in sequel writers. "Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak" still retains many elements, the pre-game characters, the game preset characters and the "Video Game Yumanji" game structure. Different from the first one, the game background of "Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak" has undergone some adjustments, from game missions to games to game geography. Most importantly, Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak changed the relationship between the game's preset characters and real-life characters, causing a lot of jokes and adding more variety. What's interesting is that these changes are very clever use of the first video game Yumanji, which was smashed at the end. The destroyed game console made it impossible for real characters to choose the game's preset characters, and the randomness was greater. This design fits in nicely with the first one. At the same time, these changes make "Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak" look new at first glance, and you don't have to worry about the repetition of game settings, plots, and jokes. For example, the big black man became the fat middle-aged man after entering the game; the little beauty Bethany actually became a group of Pegasus after entering the game; Dwayne Johnson was operated by his grandfather, which has obvious joy compared to the first one. Judging from the easter egg at the end of the movie "The repairman wants to bring the video game Yumanji home", the producer may start the shooting of the third part. I believe there will be more innovations in game copies and characters at that time. Look forward to it.
