I don't want you to get the wrong idea, I like some franchises out there, and I have enjoyed even some sequels of franchises that I'm not that enthusiastic about. However, there seems to be an overload of sequels just flooding theaters and shows. It's not about quality, although a majority of sequels end up falling on the "meh" or "bad" side of quality, it's about movie going experience. There is something about watching a movie with characters you don't know anything of and a world you're not familiar with, that's a very rare feeling when you go to the movies nowadays. The last big movie that I can remember watching(and absolutely loving) that wasn't a sequel, prequel, remake, spin-off, book adaptation and so on was Inception. That was 6 years ago I know there has been plenty original films ever since, but many are smaller scale films simply because studios rather put money for a sequel regardless of its quality(or its demand) just so they get their money back. Brands are everything nowadays.

Are you afraid that there might come a time where the film industry is just one big parade of sequels nobody asked for?

Are you okay with all of them?

It already is

We need more original films. And they have to be good too.

No

Well yeah, same for video games. It's actually quite disappointing/annoying the lack of quality, original big studio films and games bc everyone's just doing sequels.

I'd rather have sequels than reboots/remakes.

Sequels and Remakes 95% (in my opinion) ruin the movies ... Mean Girls 2 .. for example .. that abomination alone should be the prime example.

When I saw it, I wanted to like write a letter lol .. I was pressed ... might still be ...

I'm not quite sure why it's there, but I'm on my phone. So I'll just be glad it was just that...

sequal sjws now? ohhh..

As long as the movie is great, I don't care if it's an original, a remake or a sequel.

I still cringe when I think of it

I don't know, like sequels or prequels are only made because the original was successful so they are an inevitable part of the industry and i'm not really annoyed by them all that much. I don't mind spin offs or book adaptions (unless they split up the books unnecessarily) or remakes (as long as it isn't like Spiderman)

Some suck. But some like Finding Dory are gold so

It really depends. Some are good, some are terrible.

It's been like this for a while. And yeah it's the same for video games.

Since at least 2000, there have only been 3 non-sequels that have been the highest grossing movie of the year, and one of them was an adaptation (Harry Potter 1), one was a semi-adaptation (Frozen), and only was truly ~original~ (Avatar, but some would argue with that hihi).

I only find it annoying if they keep going despite being or becoming boring, sucky, and/or unoriginal. Or if it's an obvious cashgrab and FEELS like an obvious cashgrab, too. Like no one asked for Finding Dory and it was obviously made to lure people getting nostalgic over Finding Nemo but at least it was good.

The best movie of 2016 so far was an original movie so not necessarily. I think we're in an ok place for now

I was hoping that Independence Day was going to be a remake tbh, I was excited for a remake with 2016 computer and graphics with believable content, but it's a sequel

It was until Shakira's Zootopia came to save the world.

Yes. Same with remakes. It's sad the creative people who can really write don't because it's too risky to do.
