For the masterpiece of the open ending, I don’t think any sequel launched in any form can be regarded as the end.
In fact, for the X-Files, it may be more appropriate to use sex as a metaphor. After watching this movie, it feels like a continuation of sexual intercourse. You can never expect the moment of climax, but the climax is finally achieved by yourself. This is the common feature of every open ending work. You can continue to experience the process of sexual intercourse, or give up This kind of pleasure, choosing the climax, is to set the ending by yourself to end everything.
To support a background constructed hundreds of times of its time in 110 minutes, it really requires godlike talents.
