What would be the ideal sequel? Should we just film exactly the same thing, but on a larger scale? Or decide on bold experiments? Interesting question. And he doesn't have a clear answer. For example, which Terminator do you think is cooler? The image of a ruthless “cyborg killer” or a heroic “defender”. In the case of James Cameron's film, perhaps the second option turned out to be more successful (at least from a commercial point of view). And many people were introduced to the franchise with Terminator 2: Judgment Day, so it was difficult for them to imagine good-natured Arnie as the villain. One way or another, Cameron's decision turned out to be successful. However, the “sharp plot twists” in the sequels did not always work to the benefit of the films. Let's look at the sequels, in which they decided to turn the story upside down.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)





Now the cyborg is on the side of the main characters.

Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls (1995)



Now the action takes place in the jungle, not in the city.

Predator 2 (1990)





Now the action takes place in the city, not in the jungle.

Don't Breathe 2 (2021)



The main villain became the main hero and a caring father.

Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness (1992)



The action from our time is transferred to... the Middle Ages.

Friday the 13th - Part 2 (1981)



Jason becomes the main killer and maniac.

Yes, yes, in the first film, if you didn’t know, the serial killer turns out to be his mother, who thus protects her special son. But from the second film, the same maniac goes hunting, but still without his main accessory.

Friday the 13th - Part 3 (1982)



Jason was put on the same canonical hockey mask.

Aliens (1986)



The horror film has turned into an action movie with horror elements.

Happy New Death Day (2019)



The first part of this youth horror film used the mechanism from Groundhog Day, and the second used the mechanism of multiple universes. That's right, we need to keep up with the times

Knives Out: Glass Onion (2022)



The comedy detective has become a comedy with detective elements.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)



Now Kevin is not alone at home, but alone in New York.

Also, here's a quote from a reddit user about the change in tone of the film in the sequel, don't you agree?

In the first film, the Wet Bandits appear to be a couple of incompetent criminals robbing rich people's homes who don't really want to hurt Kevin. And most of his traps, in turn, are rather humorous. His parents are worried about leaving their son and are doing everything they can to return.

But in the second film, both of his parents laugh about leaving the child and make sarcastic remarks. The “Wet Bandits” are directly trying to kill Kevin, whose traps have become more severe and are now capable of killing ten people at once. It's a much more sinister film if you think about it.
