It showed up out of nowhere, made the most bank in history (for a movie), refused to explain and disappeared for like 15 years, then came back out of nowhere with a sequel movie, a AAA game, and like 3 more movies in the works.
Edit: I think it now has like a Lego line too?
I’m going off of deteriorated memory but… space pocahontas where the natives of the planet that the humans are invading are tall blue vaguely mammalian-fish looking humanoids with a weird multipurpose tail for controlling animals and apparently also for sex according to supposed axed scene. paraplegic human uses weird technology to control the body of one or something to complete the white man saves the day even though white man cause the problem in the first place trope. I dunno about the sequel maybe he permanently stays in the alien body or something and has alien kids, who knows.
