“Jumping the shark” jokes already fly over the scene in The Fate of the Furious wherein Vin Diesel uses his muscle car to leap over a marauding nuclear submarine. The fact remains that this franchise has been vaulting sea predators for years — or running on fumes, to employ a more appropriate metaphor.
