56 Sequels That Are Better Than The Original, As Shared In This Online Thread

Do you remember the last time you saw a sequel so good that you thought, “Damn, it’s even better than the original one?” Maybe it was when you watched The Dark Knight and realized this movie sequel hit you even better than Batman Begins, or when you played Mass Effect 2 and were blown away by the improved gameplay and graphics. Whatever it was, the best sequels have the ability to get us back to the stories we loved so much while also introducing new characters and exciting elements.

As movie and video game buffs, we know that sequels can be hit or miss. It’s hard to capture the same magic that made the original so memorable, but when it’s done right, they can surpass their predecessors and become classics in their own right. That’s why we got hooked on this Reddit thread where users shared their opinions on which sequels are better than the original!

From Aliens to Portal 2, the list of sequels shared in the online thread is truly impressive. It’s not just limited to movies and video game sequels, though — some people brought a dash of irony by nominating the U.S. Constitution and even Queen Elizabeth II as great “sequels.” We always appreciate a sprinkle of fun, and that’s why we thought they should make the cut. So scroll down and take a look at what people included among the best sequels of all time — we’ll wait for your comments as well!
