But that's comfy

>>85251816
What films does this happen in?
I can't remember any off the top of my head but I have to agree with the other anon that it's comfy

>>85251950
A dozen recent ones. John Wick 2 immediately comes to mind.

>>85251816
But that's a good one

>>85251950

Back to the Future Part 2
Halloween 2
Rocky 2
Quantum of Solace
Crank: High Voltage

>sequel is unnecessary

>>85251950
it's just an uninspired way to work a sequel. It's basically "we don't know what else to do for a sequel so let's just like, idk.... let's just continue exactly where the first finished." Why not just create a new story that contains the characters established in the original piece?

There's an exception to every rule. The OP is referring to when the studio drops the original reason for success, to hire someone cheaper.

In Lucas' case, he knew he was a shit director so hired someone good for EpV.

Then he hired someone shit for EpVI and there you go.

>sequel reprises a cameo role and has a camera shot thats way too long on the character for an applause break but it looks incredibly stilted considering you aren't there in the theater watching it when it came out

>In Lucas' case, he knew he was a shit director so hired someone good for EpV.

George Lucas wrote and directed Star Wars, he wrote the story of the next two sequels and told the director all the instructions he must follow, not to mention the editing process. They were basically the proto-Marvel puppets

>Directors have any impact on the movie

You're thinking of screen writers.
