    Can you repeat or clarify that second sentence? I’m pretty sure there was a typo or mistyped word somewhere, and usually I wouldn’t mention it, but in this case I actually can’t interpret the meaning.

      The first movie in the Child’s Play movie franchise they saw was the third iteration, Child’s Play 3; they were motivated to see it because it was banned, an ironic backfire of the censorship decision.

        Thanks, I also had a really hard time parsing the comment.

        Thanks! Knowing the meaning now, it was the “I” to “is” typo that threw me off, since “saw” is also the type of movie to get banned.

        Perfectly clear now, thanks. :)

        I got thrown because “is” came before “saw”, which is also a scary movie, and I just couldn’t disambiguate.
