Catch you on the flip side IV: we couldn’t afford Vin Diesel… yet

Constructor's Note
Long note!, but please read: It’s the fourth installment in a series… it’s either garbage and we jumped the shark, or we hired Dwayne Johnson and we are about to give the franchise a whole new life. Thank you all for the support ❤️! And thank you for solving ❤️!! Love you all. (Ps, if you really need a clue to the two unchecked squares: “_ / _ selection theory (representing our understanding of how traits in living things trade between quality and quantity)”… But you shouldn’t need this clue
Made with love and a little parkmad
