It can be sequels that retroactively lay waste to a story, by erasing its point, by changing its characters ("he acts like that now") and meanings ("this turned out fake/pointless"), by redefining its ending ("that character didn't die after all"). It can be standalone films that ruin an actor's or director's otherwise flawless filmography. Or pointless remakes. It can be movies too many people or medias tried to impose you, or simply related to bad memories...
Which movies are you simply erasing from existence ? Like : nope, never happened, dunno what you're talking about, never heard of it.
Because I tend to discard as poor fanfiction fanfiction every Star Wars outside the original trilogy.
And the four Indiana Jones doesn't register.
And I count only one Jaws movie.
And I ignore attempts to put Tolkien in images.
And I split the universe between Aliens and Alien 3 (Alien 3 is on the fence, it oscillates between existence and inexistence).
And Terminator 2 ends the saga.
And the Van Sant's Psycho remake is shrugged off. As well as the Ghostbusters reboot thingy.
And Robocop has one remake but no sequels.
Edit: Also the Bourne trilogy is a trilogy. Not for story-related reasons, but simply because the first 3 films are very good and the others' qualities drag them down.
And oh wow that's a lot.
Do you have your own kind of "yeah but nope, doesn't count" movies ?
