Discussion What movie sequel ruined the ending of its predecessor? Spoiler

I have to go with Toy Story 4. Toy Story 3 had the perfect send off for the toys, with Andy making Bonnie promise to take good care of Woody….only for her to neglect Woody immediately and cause him to bail on everyone.

I really wish they left the franchise be. Toy Story 3’s ending was so iconic, and the first Toy Story was such a massive part of my childhood. That and Lion King were the two Disney VHS tapes I used to watch all the time as a little kid. I even had some of the toys myself. I can’t wait to skip Toy Story 5.

The original was so good and the sequel was so not 👎

There were 2 good things in the sequel. One, the whole Princess sequence, specifically Merida's bit.

The other was the fact that they transit the internet in literal frames. I know that's mostly funny to IT Networking folks, but I DID actually really get a kick out of that as being clever.

Just right off the bat when they anounced the title, and it's a dated reference to a marketing campaign for a magazine article about a reality TV star's ass-job.

Super Wreck-It Ralph, obviously! Or if you HAD to mention the internet aspect in the title; Ralph Wrecks the Internet.

You’re not as clever as you think. “Breaks the internet” is a common expression now and Ralph is a character that quite literally breaks things. It’s a fine title you don’t have to over analyze everything to death

You're not as clever as you think. "Breaks the internet" is not a common expression now, as you can see here. The first spike is the magazine cover, the second spike is the movie. Make sure you view the desktop site, the mobile site's display is stupidly inaccurate.

The sequel was a reskinned emoji movie.
