Which generic subtitle is your least favorite?










"Remastered" doesn't count as far as I'm concerned.

Origins is definitely the most overused one. There's about a 50% chance a prequel will have the word in the title somewhere.

Origins. Almost all prequels suck, and using the laziest possible title is a big sign that this one won't be an exception.

I voted for "Returns" because it feels the laziest to me. Instead of calling it "___ 2: [Actually interesting subtitle]" they just do "___ Returns" which just advertises the character/series. "Origins" at least says that it's an origin story, which says more regarding what it's about than "Returns" does. And I'm merely speaking from a titular perspective, not about the quality of product.

"Resurrection" is a good one, yeah, because it describes literally nothing. It's just such a generic "We made another one." "Origins," at the very least, tells you it's an origin story, which is SOMETHING. "Resurrection" tells you literally nothing.

As much of a sequential nightmare as it is, I think it still works from a marketing standpoint, since they're unique. It's very hard to mess up if your kid asks for an "Xbox One," or an "Xbox Series X," since they're distinct names. It's not like the "Wii U," which directly followed the "Wii" and confused people all around.

Sequential naming nightmare? Absolutely. Marketing nightmare? Not so much.

I don't really count "One X" as an issue, since that's no different than "PS4 Pro" and the like. It's ultimately the same console. Which, at the end of the day, made "Wii U" even worse.

Iirc Rayman Origins was planned as like the origin of Rayman/Globox's friendship and virtually all the plot was ultimately scrapped, but they kept the title

The villain was a fan of Mr. Dark, the villain of Rayman 1, according to some vague hints. Which indicates it's actually a sequel I think

However, I still accept Origins as a title because it's a return to 2D and some of the worlds/enemies/level design are a clear reference to the first Rayman game, though massively updated and improved.

Most people didn't even know Mega Man 6 existed for a while because it came out in 1994 when stores were taking down their NES sections. I only saw it at Toys R Us and World of Nintendo.

Returns works great when something has been away for a long time, as in Donkey Kong Country Returns. As a straight sequel, like Batman Returns, dislike.

Either way, Origins is worse and way more overused.

I was torn between Revelations and Evolution because both are usually misnomer, but Revelations is less disappointing because it's just about new information being revealed. Evolution kinda promises that everything will change drastically to the next level, the level of disappointment is higher.

Evolution

Going with this one since it makes me remember that Dragonball movie. Also because it implies some sort of change that nobody asked for (and that movie had quite a few of them).

Isn't resurrection usually used in titles where the topic of the title was thought to be dead.

This thing thought to be dead is now back. Like isn't Alien Resurrection literally about raising Ripley from the dead. Not even sure it fits into the generic subtitle category.
