Love this one. Feels like a return to basics to be doing a fairly silly movie with the original cast. I like it when we go off the rails, but this one we never even got on the train. But enough spoilers . . .

This is the kind of campaign I really love in that there's a clear world and iconic characters, but the plot of the original almost seems unlikely to happen once you put it in the hands of the players. This movie honestly doesn't have much of a plot, so rather than the plot driving you (albeit in a different direction), you kind of have to trust that you'll find a new plot. How do I do this? Well, in the case of this movie, I really just sprinkled the world with lots of plot threads, like little seeds in a garden, and see what sprouts. The nice advantage of having characters who are "heroes" in the traditional sense of the word, is that you don't really have to worry too much about complex motivations and what plot threads will compel characters to action and what won't. These characters kinda just will hunt down injustice. Keeps things simple.

Anyway, having a ton of fun with this one so far. Hope you have as much fun listening as we did playing.
