It's a chronologically first film in a flimsy, changing continuity.

If it counts, so does Casino Royale

Life was a good prequel to Venom
We all know that venom will be shit

>>83430846
This is the answer

What is the definition of prequel?

What qualifies a movie as a prequel?

>>83430724
>>83430735
>>83430737
>>83430771
These are all awful. Especially Temple of Doom.

>>83430724
The new Planet of the apes movies are prequels and theyre lit desu

>>83430707
Wrong

>>83430935
a movie canonically set before a previous movie but chronologically released afterwards. not complicated.

Revenge of the sith

>>83430936
It's bizarre to me that Temple Of Doom has become beloved over the years. Everyone used to think it was shit. It is shit. Maybe that Crystal Skull garbage just made it look really good, who knows.

>>83430954
I liked the James Franco one, actually I think it is by far the best of that whole franchise. Originals are way overrated and didn't age well at all. So, this.

>>83430988
>It's bizarre to me that Temple Of Doom has become beloved over the years.

Same, although it was only very recently that I found out people like it now, I thought the attitude towards it was still negative.

>>83430903
Is it confirmed to be venom prequel? ??

>>83430707
Prometheus was pretty good

Objectively wrong.

>>83430988
It's classic contrarianism combined with a newer entry into the franchise. Alien franchise, Star Wars prequels, Temple of Doom, etc.

>>83431086

I can't believe how many people I've seen start to claim that Alien 3 and Resurrection were good ever since Prometheus and now Covenant came out.

I remember people starting to be forgiving of it after Last Crusade. Like Last Crusade "redeemed" it, so it was okay to like it.

Most people don't like it but I really enjoyed Cube Zero

Everybody wants that perfect trilogy so they try to forgive the weak one I think. Like Return of the Jedi.

How is the good the bad and the ugly a prequel?

A good prequel is hard to do because when creating a story, you start with the most interesting chunk of it. You have already chosen that as the more important story than the prequel. It's not as interesting to see how things turned out to be. It's better to leave the backstory a mystery or just touched on in sequels.

What came after is a stronger premise for a story than what came before.

>>83430935
movie takes place before the first one in the series and is not a reboot (exists in the same universe as the first and isn't attempting to make a new universe regardless if the characters are technically the same)

>>83431182
How is it bad? Because it's not comfy?

Not a movie but Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

>>83431265
Yeah it's an uphill battle to make an interesting movie where the audience pretty much already knows how it's going to end.

>>83430976
So for example: Henry IV is a prequel to Henry V but only if Henry IV is made and released after Henry V? If someone made the two in sequence, then Henry IV would not be a prequel?

>>83430707
The Star Wars prequels.

>>83431320
But all of them were shit, anon. Not just bad Star Wars movies, but bad movies in general.

>>83431351

but but but thats what normies think ;_;

Ouija 2

>>83430846
In Lynch's top 3.

>>83431305
No, Henry IV would predate Henry V in that case, but Henry V would be a sequel to Henry IV. It's all in the name. pre (latin before) + sequel (lation sequor, follow) = prequel (roughly, before follow)

Anyone want to disagree with this one?

>>83431616
I'll disagree in that it's a reboot, not a prequel

X-Men: First Class
The Godfather Part 2
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

>>83431541
by that logic, any movie that has had a sequel made is a prequel. Therefore, the Godfather is the best prequel ever.

>>83431628
Did they ever do the origin story in the original series though? I haven't watched them all.

>>83431351
From my point of view the fans are wrong.

OP OFFICIALLY BTFO

>>83431616
It's part of a trend of what I like to call half-assed reboots. Essentially they want to call over and connect back to the old movies at the same time, so typically they try to keep the relationship between the old and new series somewhat fuzzy. See also Star Trek 2009 and Prometheus.

HOW explain this. Arbitrary bullshit /= logic

>>83432049
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>83432070
It's not a prequel because it wasn't made after Godfather II you god damn moron

>>83432070
Prequel means it follows, and is before. IE: Is made after the piece of work, but happens before it in relation story wise.

>>83432049
This is correct.

>>83432160
>>83432188


that is NOT what this anon says

Wow, what a shit opinion

>>83432206
Rationalize what? He laid out exactly how it is

>>83432240
WRONG: What was explicitly said is that a movie need not necessarily be made AFTER another movie to be a prequel. read the post again.

>>83431012
It was a silly premise from the beginning, basically a twilight zone reject, but I still like the old.

New ones have done a good job selling them as a contemporary movie. Now I'm just thinking about the scene when Caesar finally speaks.

>NNNNOO!

Final Destination 5.

>>83430707
The new Planet of the Apes movies are awesome.

>I genuinely enjoyed Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them and think it's a great prequel to the Harry Potter franchise.

Translation: a prequel must be made AFTER the "original" film.

>>83432466

>>83432429

However my only stipulation with that statement is that I will admit that Eddie Redmayne saved the movie. I believe if they had cast any other actor in that role it would have been shit. He played the part perfectly.

>>83432494
Because it was released at a time when I was a teenager, and young vader fucking hershlag in leafy green fields and spilling his guts like a homo just really coincides with my feelings

>>83431616
I need to watch these.

>>83430707
I mean, what's "good"? 6/10 or higher? 8/10 or higher?
I don't think there has ever been a prequel better than the original.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly probably comes closest, though. I'd give it an 8/10.

>>83432712
good in my mind is that the prequel is better than the original.

>>83432583
Well I was 7 when it was in theaters. Also Christensen is a good actor, just a shitty script.

>>83432738
so if the original is ass and the prequel is merely below average its a good movie?

what about that season of red vs blue where they time travel loop to before the first season does that count?

>>83430771
>Godfather Part 2

Not prequels.

>>83433706
Godfather 2 I'll half-agree but TGTBTU is absolutely a prequel. It's set pre-Civil War, the others are set post-Civil War.
