Coogler didn't want to return AT ALL. It has nothing to do with waiting for him.

And the story for Creed 2 with the Dragos pretty much was going to happen.

What does any of that have to do with me explaining Stallone's consistent descents into unentertaining solipsism as the primary creative choice?

"Dragos" wasn't an inevitability at all. It was simply the first idea Stallone had pop into his head, and so it was the only idea he ever pursued. And it shows.

yah but Dragos is a Rocky foe

i think Coogler would have preferred not touching Rocky people at all. although this new story reminded me of Tommy Morrison one

What on earth are you talking about with solipsism? I know what it means but I don’t know what you mean.

If you know what it means there shouldn’t be any misunderstanding then. Dunno how else to describe it than with an easily understood word you admit you understand.

The great irony is that this was a d always has been Stallone's franchise. Creed would not exist without Rocky and it's kinda weird he was pushed out of his own franchise
