It’s definitely not a reboot. It’s an interesting question about what you should call it. On a certain level it’s a continuation of the previous stories, in the fact that it acknowledges what has transpired before it. It acknowledges in the last movie, the destruction of Chicago, it’s actually something that carries through the sort of emotional repercussions of that, not unlike 9/11 has emotional repercussions in the real world. In a fantasy world there are repercussions to what occurred.
That plays into the movie, moving forwards with a totally different human cast, who doesn’t know anything about the other humans, it’s not a reboot, but a continuation, yet you’re continuing with a new cast and group of characters. It was a big decision to do that.
We miss our friends that we did the first three with, and they were great, and they probably could’ve done more. But the advantage of doing it this way is that it feels almost like a first movie. It’s a very different dynamic than I’ve seen in a movie, I’m very curious. I guess Star Wars did that a little bit, but not so close together, the way we’re doing it.’

I think it's less a case of "thinking" and more a case of "in denial and hoping".
'cause you know, they actually believe they're going to get what they want if they continue to complain about the movies.

So you have no issue with the fictional war, but you draw the line at 9/11?

I didn't draw any lines, I just think it's lame to compare a fake event intended to entertain with a real event that cost real lives, all because they need to try so hard to impose emotion into a fantasy movie.

So things that cost lives, like wars.

Too bad you don't understand me, I thought you were capable. Forget I said anything.
