Was watching a video on the recent slew of reboots and prequels and it the question came up, 'Can a prequel be as good or better that the original?'. Only ones I can think of are in games Deus Ex: Human Revolution and in movies X-men 1st Class.
Story wise a lot is already known so a lot of suspense is lost, any character development from the original is lost, and they are often done after the original story is over and the creative drive is puttering out, but the dead horse is flogged due to directives from above.
Any other examples of good prequels or comments?
