In a striking turn of events, the top-ranked film in Letterboxd’s Midyear Report hails from a movie that has garnered global recognition.

The narrative begins by recounting a tale reminiscent of Captain America’s origin story, as we find ourselves reacquainted with Cap following his discovery in the ice by the Avengers. Interestingly, amid this retelling, he clings to the last vestiges of his past – the United States military.

During her address to the audience, Terashima-Furuta acknowledged that Uzumaki, one of their projects, didn’t get as positive a response as she expected, saying “Although many weren’t thrilled with Uzumaki, I was the one who produced it.” The criticism towards Uzumaki came swiftly due to animation that viewers felt fell short compared to Junji Ito’s original artwork and alterations made in the anime adaptation from the source manga.

In contrast to the general perception, which often groups it with the other poorly received Jaws sequels, Jaws 2‘s tagline, “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…”, is widely acclaimed as one of the best ever written. This catchy phrase, so iconic that it’s often recognized by those who haven’t even seen the film, could be argued to have transcended its original source and become a significant part of broader pop culture rather than just being associated with one movie.
