A lot of that is entirely relevant to the Destiny community and the way the game is discussed, too.

Elaborate?

I don't see any similarity at all.

Destiny never had good storytelling. The narrative was always jumbled, broken, and poorly done. The investment system was detrimental, and at times abusive. The game at one point actively deceived players. This is a far cry from a well crafted film that doesn't do exactly what some fans want.

I'd say the situations mirror each other well enough in two distinct ways. For Destiny 1, the expectations were based on the precedent of Bungie, not a previous Destiny game. For Destiny 2, the expectations were based on the precedent of what had changed in Destiny 1 since The Taken King.
