ComicBook.com framed the sequel as the franchise finally catching up to the moment: a B-movie built on tomato paranoia, arriving in the year everyone is arguing about artificial intelligence.

The article singles out the trailer’s cold open — a deputy sheriff at a crime scene, carefully determining whether he is looking at blood or tomato juice — and the running conspiracy gag in which the tomatoes are quietly blamed for the Hindenburg and the Titanic.

It also places the film inside the current wave of spoof comedies returning to theaters, arguing that a deliberately limited four-market release (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Diego) is exactly the right play for a title like this before it moves to PVOD and streaming.
