    Yeah. Waterworld didn’t get the message across for obvious reasons - there’s a metaphor somewhere in there about gills and whooshing air.

    Waterworld II released on streaming with Sharknado-like virility, probably due to the spaceships trying to send off the implant lottery winners.

    So IIV is the big theatrical release with all the fanfare. AI fucked up the Roman numeral but nobody knew that by Navy Beams (that was II) let alone by ‘29 and the leak of the Men playing the female roles in the big version for the Citizens in theatres.

    Edit: source: Stephen’s Party in ‘09. They screened III and Al Einstein lost his shit. Even went temporally bald.
