The lore is good.
Stories as they progress often introduce some new role.
If they dont overdo it its fine.

Whats happening flopping Ballerina is that people dont want to invest time in to her story.
They know what to expect, but they likely got their fill with the 4 JW movies already.
They went to see how his story ends..
Watching the new one, even if familiar world...
Not many people want to invest time to learn her story.
Aspect of female lead who is trained by black women maybe plays role too, its too "by the numbers" hollywoof
