Did you even watch the first one, or are you just assuming it's "fluff" based on what you think you know?
It's your free will to follow that path of the working man but don't forget the necromancer is no closer to the heart than the ghost rider or the boy with the kid gloves living in red sector a. It makes sense...sorta.
Didn't need to - when I heard that annoying song "Cups" or something like that 50 times a day on the radio and found out that it came from that movie, that alone made my decision not to watch it the right one.
