Support NeoGAF

[Stouffers]

So, I watched ALL the Bad Boys movies recently and something is bugging me. In Bad Boys 2, Mike sees a high school yearbook in Marcus's home, flips to his own photo and sees it signed "bad boys for life." I am to assume the yearbook is Marcus's and was probably signed by Mike back in school.

Now, let's ignore Marcus is 3 years older than Mike in universe.. that's easily explainable.

My issue is in Bad Boys For Life, Mike seems to've had a whole other life before meeting Marcus. BUT BB2 makes it seem like they've been on this ride since High School.

What am I missing GAF?

That it was a Michael Bay movie and things like continuity don't matter.

And yes that's my serious answer. I think it was a throwaway line in BB2.

Mike and Marcus's relationship IS the entire series. If the origins are in question, the whole trilogy is a lie.

Whoever wrote the third one just didn't pay much attention to the details. That's about it.

Just explain it as them having different circles of friends and interests that fell by the wayside as they stayed close.

I mean when I was a teenager, I was on the school rugby team and was super into Warhammer 40,000. Surprisingly, there was absolutely zero overlap between the two friend groups I developed in those different hobbies, who would likely have been shocked to learn rhe other existed (then ruthlessly take the piss out of me for it)

I think my blanket answer to any questions about these movies might be to quote Big Smoke:

"Like it says in the book. We are blessed, and cursed."
