The franchise co-creator and writer Ed Solomon says the third film is closer to Excellent Adventure in tone than it is Bogus Journey

[Dogg Thang]

That’s a very good thing.

Although it should be noted that Excellent Adventure didn’t really have a villain other than maybe Ted’s dad and that’s something that contributed to its tone. It didn’t need one.

That's a good point. I hadn't really thought about that.

Time is both their best friend and worst enemy in Excellent Adventure.

[Dogg Thang]

Yep, there aren't a lot of entertainment films that have no main antagonist. Star Trek IV is another one. It's rare but when it happens I think it leads to a more fun, feelgood movie because even when there are people in individual moments trying to stop them (like the royal ugly dudes, for example) there isn't a sense that somebody wants to deliberately and actively ruin what the main characters are trying to do. And like I mentioned in the other thread, watching the two Bill & Ted films back to back revealed the sequel to be a bit more mean-spirited. Wasn't all down to having a bad guy but it was definitely a factor, especially with the roles of the evil Bill and Ted.

You're not confusing good Bill & Ted with the bad robot us's are you?

They're who I mean - their role as henchmen for the main bad guy introduced some sections that revelled in the meanness a bit. Did I phrase it wrong? I might have...

Bill's Mom and Ted's Dad are returning for the third film along with multiple newcomers

[Dogg Thang]

Also Ted's Mom. But whose mom will she be this time, I wonder?

I think I need to stop reading about this now.
I'll enjoy the surprises more when I see them in context of the film.

First images from filming and you thought just Keanu has aged well...

Holly crap, the other dude looks almost the same in that shot.

[Dogg Thang]

Amazed nobody is talking about Ted's look. It seems like a really odd combo to me. Bill looks kind of normal, nothing particularly interesting going on but that's okay. But Ted's jeans and pink shirt coupled with the long hair just seems weird to me. Curious to find out where the characters are in their lives that led to that mix.

Death looks like he’s been warmed up.
