Hobbs & Shaw's villain Brixton Lore (Idris Elba) and the Eteon terrorist group were also right out of the franchise's evolution into superhero territory. There were still plenty of moments of the series' well-known casual absurdity.
Hobbs & Shaw didn't try to be a soft reboot of The Fast Saga by any stretch of the imagination. What's curious about that is that the franchise's last installment wasn't discussed in the same terms. The space car and makeshift space suits of Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej (Ludacris) especially signaled just how laissez-faire the Fast & Furious was.
F9 was the point where The Fast Saga's ridiculousness came to dominate reviews and online discussion about it.
Instead, the post- Fast Five mandate of the series was consistently one-upping each previous installment. Over the course of the installments between Fast Five and F9, less and less concern was given to adhering to anything akin to believability. Still, for as crazy as Fast Five was, it still kept things in a plausible realm.īy the time F9 arrived, the franchise had gone from living its life a quarter-mile at a time to 1,000 miles an hour. It also formulated the ensemble - or, more accurately, "family" - that captured the audience's hearts. Fast Five changed things up with wilder stunts and action scenes. In its early days, street racing was the name of the game for the series, and its stakes were fairly low and decidedly Earthbound. The Fast Saga has been a slow boil of getting more and more outrageous since it began with The Fast & the Furious in 2001.
