I agree -- the first sequel might be ok - then they do a relaunch then a sequel then again and again - Ghostbusters is another good example . At a certain point you know they are just milking it for the cash

Sad thing is they make more money if they try less to pander and just made good stores.

What's odd is a sequel of a movie where the MCs were kids so much later that they are middle aged. It's hard to imagine what exactly they'd do with it.

Exactly. It'd be like making a sandlot sequel where everyone is old out of shape.

Without the villain winning from time to time, which is almost only in horror movies, they are never a true threat to the *hero*

The avengers movie where Thanos snapped and they lost is my favorite one because it sets up a heroes comeback (which was done terribly)

Movies always start with villains being smart and getting dumber/weaker as the mo is goes on

Unfortunately for me, what you're saying is totally true.

Take classic X-Men (re: sentinels) and Starship Troopers (re: bugs).

In both cases, at the beginning, you needed the entire team to take out one.
By the end, ONE member of the team could take out tons of enemies.
Not saying people shouldn't like that. I'm saying I don't.

In a good heroic story everything should be going to shit for the hero for most of it. That's why people like Empire Strikes Back, because seeing Luke get beaten over and over makes people want to see him win in the next movie (unfortunately the next movie had Ewoks, but at least the scenes on the Death Star were good). The problem is that there are a lot of bad writers out there who are getting big budget jobs for "some reason" (politics are disallowed on this site ) who can only write about heroes that were powerful all along, and are too stupid to write smart villains.

You can have good stories where the villains win, but unless it's a comedy that's a pretty big downer for the audience. Like, nobody comes away from reading 1984 feeling optimistic about the future.

I'm doing a lot of X-Men references but I just finished watching the classic animation and JUST starting '97.

One of the episodes was called something Jubilee's theater.
Her and the kids she was in charge of were stuck somewhere dangerous and, to prevent them from freaking out, she was telling them a make believe story.
The heroine (a version of her) was EASILY trouncing all bad guys in that story.
That's when I realized that heroes that win easily appeal to kids or people who miss the simplicity kids stories.

The point?
You're probably right about bad writers.
But it's also possible that the writers are actually targeting a younger audience and/or adults that miss younger tales.

I could be talking out of my ass... but I think younger stories is a possibility too. (But yeah... bad writers... also a culprit, I'm sure.)

Got some recs where the villain wins? I too hate when the hero comes out ahead by some kind of ass pull.

Those that come to mind are popular. Chances are you've seen them. Being an old fuck, I forgot if there's more than the 3 I'll mention.

Sadly, most of them end with a "gut punch" because the movie LOOKS like a standard movie and the twist is that the villain wins.
That means that telling you the villain wins... ruins the movie... but they're so rare... it's unavoidable.

Top 3 for me
Bronze Medal = Seven.
Silver Medal = The Usual Suspects.
Gold Medal = Arlington Road. (my favourite movie of all time, despite its flaws)

Hey, wait. Why did I get a comment removed for posting a picture of a meme that took the internet by storm (being a 'real' person and 'copyrighted' photo), but I don't get comments removed when they are gifs from TV shows that very definitely are copyrighted (like the Perry Cox one I just posted)?

(It was the 'Guy Tired After Sex' meme, for those wondering)
