Instead of Best Childs Play why not Best Sequel to Childs Play?

Childs Play 88 has the best scenes & execution. It also makes the most sense, and was also a little more psychological, and a little more mature than most of its sequels. That being said, the series as a whole has long surpassed the first film. For all that? It still only has one real classic hit. The first one. This isnt abnormal for a franchise, tbh. Maybe we should stop pitting these movies against their babydaddies.

Theres a few exceptions. Friday the 13th didnt get good until at least movie 3. Alien has a few good movies under its belt. Terminator 2 consistently wins. But Hellraiser, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Predator, The Exorcist, arguably Night of the Living Dead, and even older movies like Dracula.... are all largely these one big booms that ended up surpassing themselves in terms of scope only, never really quite managing to match the impact of the one that started it all.

Godly sequels are exceptionally rare. I feel like it muddles things a lot to keep treading the same ground in these things. On the other hand? Childs Play fans dont really hover around the original that much. Haha!
