Ever had something you really liked? Ya know really liked. So much so that if it were a girl you would go on a date and try to propose in the superdome only to have her run away in fear making you the most awkward depressed man in the whole world? I know I have. Movies, games, even a book, or two I just really like. And it?s all happy days.

Until you hear news of a sequel. You?re like Whaaa? That book can?t have a sequel the whole cast died in a fiery yet tear felt explosion that capped off as the greatest metaphor for global warming ever. Oh and this sequel. This dumb crumb decided to be made without any of the original creators involved or even thought about why the original was good they just said, ?Duhh Secret of the NIMH will be great if we could re-create it with CGI used in Alvin and the chipmunks.? You hope you pray it will be decent even the ads look kinda good.
Then release. Madness ensues. As you release that, your favorite movie/book/game has been canonically connected with utter garbage masquerading as the official remake sequel. After years of drinking and bumbling through the streets of California, you finally realize that the story wasn?t very bad by itself. If only it didn?t make the bad idea of connecting itself with something previously existing. Thus the phrase anti continuity a story that connections itself to a previous story only to its chagrin as association demotes its quality.

So I thought about this and I thought it would be cool for once to de condemn the stories we hate for those reasons and kinda list and discuss which movies would actually be pretty decent to very watchable.

And maybe. When it?s all over, we can love again.

Notice: Any grammar mistakes are on accident and hopefully will not deter your reading. If this topic has been done before I will remove, you?ll just make me very sad. If there is a TV trope that captures this idea that?s fine. It will just count for this thread. I'm really surprised that people are confused. That makes me confused.

Okay okay. Because people may not understand what I'm saying I'll make it really simple. Which movies/books/games etc do you think would be fine if they weren't a sequal or spinoff of something?

I know that many people refuse to believe that Final Fantasy X-2 should have been made. I'm not one of them, as I enjoyed that game, but it's a good example of what you're looking for. To re-create the canon, people just remove the entire story.

That.... was one epic post. Unfortunately. It was more confusing that a 3 and 45/67ths dollar bill.

I would hope so! Considering you wrote it and everything...

Can't say I really understand what we are meant to be discussing but I'll just assume its sequels that shouldn't have been made.
World War II was pretty bad...

I think it was more of a spin-off. You know, a lot of minor characters from the first given a shot with a larger budget...

OT: I liked the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I didn't like the second, or the third as much. I thought they were decent in and of themselves, but not good as the first, and made worse by my disappointment. I know already I'm not gonna like the fourth.

OP is confusing. Still I get your gist. Honestly the biggest area where continuity changes annoy me the most is in comics, *cough One More Day *cough.
