Newt and Hicks dying between Aliens and Alien 3

Dead Rising 4 developers bragging about ditching the timer

Chrono Cross killing off the entire cast of the Chrono Trigger

Prince of Persia Warrior Within taking a nu-metal theme instead of the charming Disney type theme of the original

What are some more?

And no this doesn't need to be another Star Wars Sequel Trilogy topic.

And that's a good thing since then it wasn't just a retrend of the first movie.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

The plot has nothing to do with the original ToS, focusing on some edgelord shit where you go to some ruins that are even more ancient than the ones in the first game, and handle a threat that predates anything that came from ToS. The character cameos don't add anything to the experience, it's pure fanservice for fanservice's sake. All but one of the new characters has a new VA, and Lloyd's VA is worse than the original by a country mile.

The only good part of the game is that you can decide that Lloyd fell in love and shacked up with Raine. The plot is trite and edgy, and in any other circumstance it would be a passable side-game or RPG - not great, but passable. The worst part about this game is that it's a needless, shoehorned sequel with a plot and stakes wholly separate from the first game, where the only connections to the first game are pointless filler to sucker people into playing the sequel.

My nominations:
Xenosaga 2
DMC2

Can we include sequels that were so good they made the previous entries totally crap in comparison and borderline unplayable?

Highlander 3 ignored Highlander 2 entirely.
Highlander: Endgame not only ignored 2 and 3, it even ignored the ending of the original.

That series of films did nothing but shit the bed! lol

There were 4 that released in the theaters and more that went straight to SyFy. All shitty.

Rambo: First Blood Part 2 & the sequels
Let's ditch all of the social commentary to just make a mindless action movie. Then make that same inferior movie a few more times.

I've never watched them but I think it's easy to assume that the Starship Trooper sequels shit all over what the original was going for.

Also I remember hearing that the Timing and Pumbaa Lion King prequel showed that the only reason the animals bowed for Simba was because Pumbaa farted.

I love KOTOR 2.

But it really did shit all over the happy ending that KOTOR 1 had. Possibly in a good way.

To be fair the original also went against the message of the book.

Book's a lot more pro-war.

Every Elder Scrolls game since the Daggerfall/Morrowind era has gone for style over substance.

Graphics and bugs have gotten better, but the actual features have been going away with every installment.

Only one that went to SyFy. The Source. It killed the series.

Woosh.

I got the joke, but not everyone knows about the direct to tv sequels so shut the fuck up.

Thought there was more than one of those silly movies, though. Granted, the Source was mind-numbingly bad and its good that they put it out of its misery after that.

HP the Cursed Child

While all the noise was about Hermione turning black (though she was clearly described as white in the books, no matter what Rowling later claimed), the plot shits all over canon, retcons/ruins several characters (including Harry & Voldemort), & retcons everything about time travel that was rather neatly handled in Prisoner of Azkaban into a huge fucking mess of idiocy.

That really got me, especially because I never read the comic so it was completely out of nowhere.

Bride of Frankenstein has a completely different tone from the original, and the dramatic conclusion of the first is undone since the movie starts immediately after the events of the original.

Love it though.

I'm confused - does "shit on" mean "shit on it because it's so much better?

or

"Shit on" the memory of the original because the sequel is so fucking bad?

I mean when it purposefully disregards or disrespects stuff in the previous entry.

It doesn't necessarily have to be bad but it usually is.

The Matrix Reloaded basically retcons Neo from being a superhuman, unstoppable force that the rules of the Matrix no longer apply to, to being just ever so slightly overpowered (and also he can fly, sometimes).
