The thing is, the basic idea of the plot still comes from the original. The cast and the production crew may change or stay the same, but a sequel is basically a continuation of the original story. Yet they are preferred over the original. Why?
What about sequels which were actually paler in comparison than the originals...
TCM 2 over TCM?
Jaws 2 over Jaws?
E.T. 2 over E.T.?
Hidden II over Hidden?
Child's Play 2 over Child's Play?
There must be more in that bracket too...
