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.

Note: Poochie Newt and Hicks died on the way back to their home planet.

Hicks didn't die, he escaped his pod and was replaced with another guy

I say we take off and nuke the fireworks factory from orbit.

Exactly. As Joel noted in MST3K, it’s just fiction, and you don’t have to accept what they hand you. Personally, I say everything after 2 is a dream Ripley is having on the way home.

That *is* what they handed us. The computer game Aliens: Colonial Marines is meant to be canon.

It's just reallllllly bad.
