As long as those action set pieces delivered the goods, I was able to forgive much.
I watch these movies for their ridiculous stunts and action set pieces that don't just defy the laws of physics but make the ghost of Isaac Newton vomit. I've never been invested in this franchise for the characters (with the exception of The Rock because he is The Rock) or for the stories, and I doubt few others who even consider themselves fans would differ. I'll begin by stating my own apologist stance on the Fast saga. F9 was delayed a year from COVID, a phrase that will be repeated a lot with upcoming fall releases, and after watching the 130-minute sequel, I think the franchise has finally exhausted its general appeal for me. Maybe that will include the soap opera-sounding subtitle, "As the Wheels Spin." It's all just a curious way to handle name recognition for a twenty-year blockbuster franchise.

Alas, the title is apparently only supposed to be read as F-9, followed by the also soap opera-sounding The Fast Saga subtitle (sorry, "Furious," maybe you'll regain credit billing in the tenth movie in 2023). The ninth entry is titled F9, and by the logic of the previous sequel, I would assume that was intended to stand for "Fff-nine," or likely "Fine," and at this point an implicit admission of the franchise just not even trying to be relatable to any kind of recognizable pattern or order or even coherency.
We've had different adjectives favored (Fast Five, Furious 7) and even gone the route of number-related wordplay, like 2018's very soap opera-sounding The Fate of the Furious (spelled F8 in some incarnations). Has a multi-billion-dollar franchise ever had this much confusion and inconsistency with a name? The Fast and Furious saga, which is what we're now calling it I suppose, began twenty years ago in 2001 and has undergone all sorts of titular irregularity.
