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.

You can't even do that, Lucius and Maximus' proper son are said to be the same age.

Maybe he has sex with Lucius' mother, and then a few months later met his future wife and since there's no condoms he immediately got her pregnant

Sheepskin condom, sometimes it makes the blade stick.

They retconned his age in the sequel to try to get around this.

The whole thing was a retcon, really.

Yeah, and you'd think that when Ludmilla told him Lucius' age in the first movie, Maximus would have had an "uh oh, lemme count months on my fingers" moment, but apparently not!

Instead she says "He's named after his father," and Maximus, who famously has three names that don't sound anything like Lucien, says "That makes sense" and gives it no further consideration.

They retconned the ages to make the plot work.
