Wow, this is a really good review, I had no idea that this one wasn't yet another mindless reboot/ cashgrab. I think after South Park brought out their 'member berries' it really put all those reboots on blast, and showed them for what they are.
I've always liked Kevin Smith, I only recently watch Dogma and was delighted to see that it still holds up. I liked the first Clerks film, but the thing I liked more about it was the fact that anyone could do it, so long as what they lack in budget, they make up for with passion and inspiration.
I haven't seen this one, but it does sound good, so I think I'l give it a watch.
Also, funny you should mention the NFT and Crypto references. I find that films are at a disadvantage when trying to be topical, since whatever they reference in a film script is most likely a year or two outdated by time the movie hits the big screen.
I do like that aside from the potentially slimy references, the film has a 'heart' !LOLZ (Sorry Kevin smith) and is telling a real story.

He definitely went through a bit of a weird phase with the massive rise of Marvel and DC. He's definitely just a huge nerd at heart but I think it sort of swayed him a bit too much. He's a very solid filmmaker and I think he's capable of doing much more, I just sort of which he'd stop pushing his daughter so much. A lot of his recent stuff feels like they only exist to give her a career. That recent pattern definitely had me expecting the worst of Clerks 3.
That heart attack he suffered clearly has influenced him to do more though, so I can't fault him there. Making things with friends, looking back at the old times, and pushing forward with new ideas. Even if some of the films are weak, there's something very human behind why they exist. :)
