The originalA Quiet Placefilm tells the story of a family dealing with a post-apocalyptic world of sound-sensitive aliens.
Unfortunately, things don’t go smoothly.
The sequel picks up where the original film left off.
By letting Emmett live, the movie avoids copyingLee’sA Quiet Placedeath.
If Emmett would’ve died in the same way as Lee, it could’ve hurt the original movie.
Highlighting the point, Regan tells him in the film that he’s nothing like her father.
If anyone’s like Lee, it’s Regan, not Emmett.
The death would’ve also undermined the sequel’s ending.
Thefinal scenes ofA Quiet Place 2are a direct role reversal from the first film.
The sequel takes the opposite approach, with the kids protecting the adults.
While Regan is busy saving Emmett, Marcus is also saving Evelyn from the aliens.
