They did the same thing to the latest “Bill and Ted” movie, to the point my son walked out of the room.
The men who were foretold to unite the world only did so by choosing to stand behind their talented daughters who had done nothing but “Take it all in”. They travel through time, create the awesome band, and save the world by having everyone play the same song at the same time. It isn’t a single song that unites everyone and sparks a new religion - it is literally the collective act at the same time ...
I hated the original movie.
