High-fantasy video-game settings usually seem to have un-mentioned "utility magic" that makes torches and candles burn forever, and stops food from going rotten, and so on.
It's quite important that you don't let any 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 creep into your utility magic, though:

I just watched "Sinners".
It has the best soundtrack of any horror movie.
There's a lot more going on, but the music is SO important. Sadly, the official soundtrack doesn't have the climactic time-travel music.

Here's the question you need to answer, to decide whether you should watch "Nobody 2" or not:
Do you want an explanation of where a 19th-century hand-cranked Gatling gun came from, in an action movie that's set in the present day, or do you not care?
If you don't care, then watch that film.

Large electronic theatre organs have, for a long time now, been able to make you sound like an orchestra. A CHEESY orchestra, but still.
I don't respect any of those players, unless they fall victim to the constant temptation to make any tune into a DISCO tune.
