It's needlessly ambiguous. And if the property name is also identical to a title in the property, it's downright confusing.

It's provocative.

"So I saw the Incredibles."
"Great movie. I loved the villain."
"The villain was the weakest part."
"What? Syndrome ruled."
"No, no, I meant the new one. I just have a thing for confusing everyone."

If you've never heard anyone do that, you're luckier than me.

So... referring to a specific entry in a franchise with only the name of the franchise?

Isn't the context that Incredibles 2 is still in theaters, enough of a clue to suggest that's what they're referring to?

Not really, no. Maybe they just now got around to it. Plus it's literally the title of a different movie.

Maybe in a really obtuse way.

It's pretty simple. I'm talking about a pet peeve.

It works the other way too. I first played Devil May Cry a few years ago and I was telling my friend and he was like "was there a new one or something?"

Dude. It's literally the title. Come on dawg.

You don't have to do the full title. It's specific enough to say you liked Ocarina more than Phantom Hourglass. You would only be committing the pet peeve if you said you liked Zelda more than Zelda.
