The second is absolutely a beat-for-beat copy of the first, and I think it can be argued it undoes a lot of the point of the first. I still like it though.

I’m not sure you understand the premise of this thread. It’s not just “movies with bad sequels.”
Well it’s a stupid idea. A sequel can’t ruin an original really. I’m talking more about multiple sequels that dragged the franchise /originals down so you don’t want to engage with them anymore. Cos they’re tainted. Taaaainted
I remember as a kid that Police Academy was a huge hit. Considered a quality movie. That franchise is absolute s*** now. Every single movie, helping to tear down what was good with the first.

They were hysterical when you’re a kid but I haven’t seen them since any of them. Sometimes you know it’s not good to go back and just remember enjoying them rather than finding out they really don’t stand up. Comedies especially suffer from this. With a few notable exceptions.

I agree with that for some. Ovies, including 1-3 here. But 7 may be the worst movie ever made.

Police Academy was a good solid rated R comedy. And it was "cool" to be able to see a rated R movie as a kid.
You know your franchise is shit when your mom can take your and your brother to Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol at the movie theater.

Unbreakable: I like that Glass in Unbreakable came across as a tragic loser who desperately wanted something more out of the real world, and found it. He wasn't some brilliant mastermind. He was just a lunatic willing to kill a lot of people. Making him some super villain genius kinda hurts that.
I haven't seen Glass, but I hear that he is basically a superpowered evil genius. That undercuts the previous movie iMO.
but I'm probably not gonna see it anyway, so my image is untainted.

So yeah sequels can’t ruin originals and all that, but I would say the thematic meaning of these movies was significantly negated/rewritten by their sequels/prequels...:

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Wow. We see eye-to-eye on movie stuff.
