The first edition of Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell was published in 1936 by The Macmillan Company in New York. It consisted of only about 5000 copies.
Sequelitis - TV Tropes. While the first sequel of a movie is something of a coin toss between . Of course, movies that go to theatre have high production values. On the whole, their directors are at least trying. But if it's Direct- to- Video, the chances that the third one is nothing but unmitigated crap is already close to 1. This is partly because people assume a DTV movie is just something that wasn't good enough to get into theatres.
Scarlett O'Hara is the main character in the 1970 musical Scarlett and the 1991 book Scarlett, considered a vastly inferior sequel to Gone with the Wind written under.
And, as a general rule, they tend to be right. If there is a third installment, it will frequently mark a sharp downhill turn even when the second movie turned out all right. And even if there's a good trilogy, going beyond that has an even greater chance of crapitude. Numerous examples exist of planned sequels which have been extremely good. And good unplanned sequels do exist, but the vast majority of sequels are on a downhill slope.
These days there are more good Xbox One games than ever, with new contenders arriving all the time. In the list below, we’ve listed the games we recommend for. You know that scene in a movie you can feel coming a mile away? Where a character ends up saying the name of the film? That happens a lot more often than you think.

The distinction is that unplanned sequels tend to have the feel of being tacked onto a story that was finished and done with, for no reason other than that the first work made lots of money and someone wants to keep that sweet gravy train rolling. The backlash can go double for sequels that turn happy endings into the beginning of great suffering, struggle, and conflict. At most, there may be a throwaway line that tells us 'it didn't work out'. This doesn't stop the hero getting a new love interest. This can lead to In- Name- Only. For the more general trope applying to recycled story arcs, see Fleeting Demographic Rule.
If it works for the first sequel, it will be cranked up more and more in further sequels. This may lead to Vulgar Humor, sadistic slapstick violence, or something else along those lines. They typically say so, quickly and loudly. This can be caused by the filmmakers having a limited or poor understanding of what the general fanbase liked, leading to their catering to the Fan Dumb. However, this seems to be a far less common occurrence than the reverse. The writers sometimes seem aware of this, and as a run of sequels are produced they may drop numbering the movies entirely and start adding clich.
This only makes it harder to guess the order to watch for new fans. If they aren't aware of this, then, in the end, odds are First Installment Wins. Contested Sequel is when there is considerable division about the sequel's quality. For a strangely divergent sequel, see In- Name- Only.
For a sequel that retains the monster or villain but features none of the original heroes, see Villain- Based Franchise. Can be caused by a poor choice in Sequel Escalation, and lead up to Franchise Zombie if a sequel that should have been a Franchise Killer doesn't destroy the series. Backlash against sequels has made many reviewers Sequelphobic. Some fans treat such sequels with Fanon Discontinuity. See also Sophomore Slump, The Problem with Licensed Games.
For TV series, this can sometimes be a result of a Post- Script Season. The reason why Sequel Snark and Ridiculous Future Sequelization became common jokes. Obviously it greatly backfired with Mobile Suit Gundam (the franchise continued even after the original principal characters Amuro Ray and Char Aznable died), but most of Tomino's other works, such as Aura Battler Dunbine and Space Runaway Ideon, otherwise ended with their initial series since most of their casts (or their entire setting in the case of Ideon) were killed off. And that's the mildest of its many, many problems.
Though some fans say it's terrible, other fans say that the Fanservice- laden last episode was more than enough to make up for the series being little more than a terrible recap of Shuffle. Most countries outside Japan (including the States) gave the seasons positive reviews, but 'most' of the viewers were older fans of the series, so that still doesn't help in the long run. Whereas the main series ended in 2.
Sales have been dropping, and many fans agree that the adventures of Lina and Naga are being unnecessarily dragged out. Unfortunately, the man who created the novels has no intention of continuing the main storyline. Otherwise, Slayers fans had been demanding a follow up for quite some time, partly for the aforementioned and partly to alleviate the mediocrity that was Slayers Try. Similar to The Land Before Time, most fans say that the quality of the movies has been all over the place, with the first few movies (Pok. However, two that have received notably negative reviews include Genesect and the Legend Awakened and Hoopa and the Clash of Ages; the latter of which ended up bombing at the Japanese box office and is currently the second- worst performing out of all the movies (surpassed only by its slightly more acclaimed follow- up). As the series progressed, barring brief moments of hope, fan outlook grew increasingly bleak, with the ending (and even a few of the plot threads) provoking cries of Fanon Discontinuity. It hardly helped that it contradicted many of the themes of the original series, particularly the ability of humans and Coralians to coexist.
That last one was enough to spark the . Pretty Cure 5 Go Go! Many of them are realizing, though, that rival series Aikatsu! It took virtually all of the characters out of their unique world and put them into a generic school location and had a similarly- generic Monster of the Week format (going along the success of the previous series delving into Magical Girl Warrior later during its run) and Demoted to Extra everyone but Fine and Rein.
While it did introduce a handful of good characters, most fans like to pretend ''Gyu!'' never happened. Oddly enough, il teatrino is truer in spirit to the manga than the first anime season. However, a 3- episode sequel Bubblegum Crash was made to give the series some closure, but it only ended up raising more questions, and altering many characters' personalities, as well as plot details. A 3- episode prequel A.
D. Police Files was also released to decent reception. This was all followed by a pretty good TV series remake/reimagening Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2. A. D. Police: To Protect and Serve and Parasite Dolls, with the former being savaged by fans and critics, and the latter mostly going unnoticed. A sequel to Tokyo 2. Tokyo 2. 04. 1 was once in production, but never left Development Hell. The franchise had been dormant for a few years following the poor reception of spinoff Tenchi in Tokyo, and the mixed reception of the three films.
The original OVAs and their TV remake/reimagining Tenchi Universe are really the only parts of the franchise with good reception. Perhaps the most puissant example of this trope in a Disney ride is the . The original ride, Journey Into Imagination, was a much beloved and very creative ride centering around the world of a child's imagination and starred the Dreamfinder, a red- bearded eccentric who collected dreams and creative thoughts, and his pet purple dragon Figment with a Clock or Steam Punk style. Executive Meddling involving a potential change in sponsors caused the ride to close in 1. It was reopened in 1.
The new ride set a record for the most complaints received over a new attraction at a Disney Park. The revamp was received so badly, it was closed a mere 2 years later in 2. In 2. 00. 2 the ride received a later update, . Though it is a notable improvement over the second version of the ride, most long time Disney parkgoers tend to agree that the ride's first incarnation was by far its best. For the 2. 5th anniversary, music promoters tried to recreate the experience with the mostly- uneventful but not as memorable Woodstock '9.
For the 3. 0th anniversary, promoters held Woodstock '9. Woodstock was free), attendees were price gouged for amenities like water and food, and organizers seemed unprepared for an event that size, with massive amounts of garbage piling up and portable restrooms frequently overflowing. The final day was marred by riots - most media outlets covering the event abruptly pulled out their crews - and dozens of reports of sexual assault, effectively ending the concert series. Troy Mc. Clure's alter- ego, The Sequelizer, has the power to . Many more consider . He did fine when he started out as an occasional guest star in Spider- Man's comics and did okay when he debuted in his own limited series, and then ongoing series.
Unfortunately, when he became more popular and Marvel started to star him in Punisher War Journal and Punisher War Zone, fans started to see what a one- dimensional character he was. In 1. 99. 5, all three of his comics were cancelled due to poor sales; he did gain some popularity back in 2. Marvel Knights line. For reference, cancellation of a book that has a set number of issues from the get- go is extremely rare.
Avengers Arena itself was a Contested Sequel at best, with very few fans of Academy or Runaways walking away satisfied. Undercover, it seems, burned through what little goodwill Arena had remaining. You'll find much fewer fans of Another Nail, which featured a far more convoluted and silly plot without any real hook to draw it together. The biggest weakness was that it tried to make the story about the Beyonder, whom most readers didn't find very interesting the first time around, and assumed that readers cared about seeing his story resolved when they mostly saw him as a plot device. Its sequel, Sonic The Hedgehog Mega Man Worlds Unite isn't as beloved, due to too many characters (seriously, not counting the main four of Sonic, Sonic Boom, Mega Man and Mega Man X, there are twelve franchises represented here), wasting the Mega Man X characters, reducing Sonic Boom to just Sticks, and so on. The Dark Knight Strikes Again is at best polarizing, mostly due to Character Derailment of non- Batman characters, Batman himself being a bit of a Jerk Sue, some serious Author Tracts, and shockingly bad color work. Its prequel, the clunkily- titled All- Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, is generally regarded as So Bad, It's Good.
