Why bother attending?
A few short years will no doubt make all the 'exciting things learned' at this convention wildly out of date!

Probably just more propaganda about shunning your loved ones and family more.
Guilt tripping about donations.
Fear inducing about the "nearness" of Armageddon.
About....but....the same.....

This is the name of the book about Ezekiel released a few years ago. Why are they going back to that? You’d think it would be a continuation of the gospel theme from this year as more episodes of the drama are released.

I actually think the convention this year was the best ever in terms of substance and presentation. They did a good job.
Maybe not as good as some of the historic conventions such as 1950 or 1958, in terms of pure spectacle or history, that would have been something.
I’ve heard it suggested that 1958 Polo/Yankee stadiums convention was the largest Christian meeting in history at around quarter of a million. Is that right?

https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/1919-derived.php The 2018 publication Pure Worship of Jehovah - Restored at Last! devotes a section to providing "evidence" that "God's people" were chosen in 1919.

"You’d think it would be a continuation of the gospel theme from this year as more episodes of the drama are released."
There's no reason that they couldn't tie that theme to the life and ministry of Jesus. They don't have to be tied to a previously released title by that name. These days, they're switching things all the time. Heck, the century old requirement to count time was summarily dropped like a hot potato!
But you might be right; Jesus might only be flavour of the month this year. I thought that the increased attention on Jesus might be a long term thing: "Sure, show affection for Jesus, who isn't here yet*, but more so, show affection for and obedience to Jesus' brothers (the GB), who are here.
*But he came invisibly some time ago. 🙄
