This is something that I really enjoyed doing before, just making forums, talking about various things.

So, recently finding about the announcement, I decided to state my opinion about the upcoming "Angry Birds Movie 2", now that it's been announced.

Now that I think about it, the Angry Birds Movie wasn't that bad of a movie. Certainly not an extremely excellent overachieving one, but some parts I actually found humerous and overall it wasn't at all bad.

Now, I don't know if another movie is a great idea. It honestly depends on how they play it off.

The biggest problem is if there is enough material to work off of. I mean, somehow the first movie pulled it off, in my opinion at least, and they sort of thought outside of the box and didn't limit to what the game was, while still being faithful to the series.

Now, if there would be a sequel, I feel like in order to make it interesting that they'd have to go way off of the actual series and not be accurate to the storyline. And if they want it to be profitable, then they'd have to change the story greatly, since every movie can't just be a repetetive thing where the pigs just keep on stealing the eggs.

The second problem I see here is whether or not Angry Birds would actually even be popular by the time they're done releasing the film. The first movie did okay when it came to the profit, but that's considering the fact that Angry Birds wasn't as dead as it is now. The way I see it, slowly but progressively, Rovio is starting to lose it's popularity. And I think part of the blame is the fact that they can't make good decisions nor actually come up with good material.

After all, while the Stella spinoff universe was very loved by all of the fanbase and did exceptionally well, Rovio decided to discontinue the series and started spewing out random games that nobody really liked. Other than very young players who'd just download all of Rovio's games, nobody is going to be attracted to games like "Angry Birds Goal!" or "Angry Birds Evolution". Not to paint bad light on Rovio, but it seems like they're just pitching any ideas that they can at this point. It's as if they've run out of ideas even if they have so much material to work off of. Rovio did have multiple hits, when they chose to supply things that seemed desirable. This stuff includes Angry Birds Star Wars and it's sequel, Angry Birds Go!, Bad Piggies Angry Birds Space, perhaps Epic, and maybe even Angry Birds Stella. However most of these games have now been discontinued, which is honestly such a bad decision. This is what people fell in love with and that connection ends up being cut off. Nobody is gonna want to play the games that Rovio is currently making, no matter how much they advertise it, or put effort in it. Rovio has shown that as long as they can create something that people would actually want, that they can get back out there and get back on their feet. They can't rely on a current fanbase.

Wow, long paragraph.

The last issue I'm seeing here and one of the worst things about the movie was the fact that there was such an amazing cast, yet most of them had few to even none lines. Willow, voiced by Charli, had absolutely no lines. Stella, voiced by Kate McKinnon, had probably 4-5 lines. Characters like Hal or Bubbles had only around a minute to shine in the movie. They barely focused on the characters to the point where it just felt like fan service and that there was no point of them even being there.

So if Rovio were to make an Angry Birds Movie: 2, they'd better think about the journey there as well, and play their steps right, or else they're pretty much going bankrupt at its release. Maybe they should just take a break, get their ideas straight, and come up with better material. More classic stuff, perhaps.
