Finding Nemo. While Finding Dory does explain a bit more on Dory's forgetfulness, it didn't need to be made.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

When I was a kid I really really wanted a sequel to Finding Nemo. But when it came out?... They waited way too long to actually make it, so I wasn't bothered about it much anymore, I saw it in like 2018, years after it came out. And it's a good movie!.. But I agree, it didn't really need to be made and I think if they were going to make a sequel then they should have done it ages ago when I still wanted it.

How many times can ONE man find himself in the same situation over and over? Nobody's that unlucky. We don't think about that while we're watching, but it really does seem silly and unrealistic. None of the sequels ever topped the original for me either. The first one is still my favorite.

Anytime Cody puts out a video that may anger pathetic Halloween fans it gives me immense satisfaction. Especially when he presents valid and credible thoughts as to why he feels the way he does.

[@hiwifi4898]

Same. Halloween has the worst fan base of all time.

[@SlasherIncorporated]

I honestly had no idea the Halloween fan base is so toxic. I realized that once Cody started to get harassed for his thoughts on the franchise.

[@MYERS13]

@@SlasherIncorporated it's honestly made me reconsider my love for the franchise more than once.

[@TheTonyahawk]

I'm ultra late but I have to reply. As a HUGE Halloween fan I don't understand when the fanatics put down people who have a different opinion on Halloween then mine per se. After all it's just a bloody movie and every one is entitled to their own opinion. As a Horror Fanatic I'm just happy to share the love of horror films within our community. We like what we like and should never be made to feel different because our opinions vary.

[@josefengelhardt2767]

​@@SlasherIncorporated People got angry at me for not liking Rob Zombie's Halloween Remakes. It was mostly Rob Zombie Fans. They got mad at me for hating the Halloween Remake and started sending me hate comments and Death Threats.

The list is very professionally made. I heavily agree with no:1. I do have other honourable mentions that prehaps should've been on the list. The most unnecessary sequels goes to... - Transformers - Resident Evil - Wrong Turn - Independence Day - Alien (Only the first 2 are masterpieces) - Predator (Only the first 2 are great)

[@chanchan7200]

I agree with you on Halloween. I like some of the sequels but I think if they didn’t exist, the ending of the original would be even more memorable. I would miss Season of the Witch though.

[@jamieward3260]

I agree but Season of the Witch could have still existed by just being called Season of the Witch and not part of the Halloween franchise because the way I see it’s only a Halloween movie by name.

[@josefengelhardt2767]

​@@jamieward3260 i wish all the Halloween Sequels never existed. Here are my reasons why 1. Confusing Timelines 2. Stupid Siblings Twist 3. Supernatural Cult Thorn Twist 4. Rob Zombie's Remakes 5. Halloween 2018 being JUST CALLED HALLOWEEN! 6. The endless sequels are responsible for the modern reception of the original 1978 film where people mostly young audiences say it doesn't hold up anymore and it's "not scary" 7. Michael Myers being treated like Jason Voorhees/The Terminator

[@Joemama55122]

The Sarah Conner Chronicles was amazing way better than the post T2 sequels

[@Xehanort10]

2:56 Yeah even without the sequels Halloween ending with Michael on the loose would still have been great. It would have been similar to the original Black Christmas's ending where Jess and the police think Peter's the killer but he's innocent and Billy's still lurking around.

[@supastar25]

I still can't believe they made sequels to Jaws

[@renegadehero7393]

Great list. I completely agree about Halloween, Jaws and Speed, they should had stayed one offs. I'm surprised you didn't mention Pet Semetary, what I saw of the sequel was awful, plus it wasn't needed. I also think Dragonhart should have stayed one movie, the story ended well and didn't need a sequel. Thank you Cody!

[@Detektiv_L]

As soon as I saw the tittle of this video, I knew, that Jaws has to be number 1.

[@horrorreboot351]

Halloween should have been a anthology series

[@nibz94]

Candy man should have been a stand alone. Didn’t need a back story cash grab sequel that doesn’t have the same chilling factors as the original

[@StarshineGoomba]

Phantasm is one of those franchises where I really enjoyed the sequels, I agree with the creator that it should have been standalone. It was a victim of studios demanding a sequel, just like Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and even A Nightmare on Elm Street.

[@joeljohnson6137]

Not me they should of stopped after 3 it started getting boring

[@Emulous79]

The total irony is how great Carpenter films such as The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China would have had terrible sequels had they made money at the box office. It's almost a blessing that they flopped.

[@rllysilli]

i watched texas chainsaw for the first time recently and loved it so much more than i expected. was so disappointed that every sequel seemed so unnecessary and knew they weren't going to live up to what i wanted more of

[@JamesBond-ke2qh]

Gotta admit, Jaws 19 is starting to grow on me

[@ChaseTheBass1]

A Nightmare on Elm st. While I absolutely love dream warriors (my favorite) i think it worked perfect as a stand alone movie. (-the last like 10 minutes)

[@Pierce_the_Rose]

I agree but, one thing I'd change is the ending! I grew up watching A nightmare on Elm street, love it so much, and as I got older i started hating the ending even more! Nonetheless, I love that movie and it made me love horror as a child!

[@randomwhitedude9227]

Completely agree. Much emphasis on the " - the last 10 minutes "

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Nightmare is one franchise where I think most of the films are really enjoyable. Maybe minus Freddy's Dead and the remake. But even so I do kind of still enjoy those films.

[@Pedro-lg9wz]

I thought hellraiser, Gremlims, puppet master, Tremors, leprechaun, fast&furious, Saw jajajajaj scary movie jajaja. Now what movies do deserve a sequel, ill say The Goonies, Cabin in the woods, etc...

[@walthersorsa4847]

The Hangover, Taken, The Matrix, Speed, Jaws, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween and most of the horror movies should have stayed standalone movies and Terminator 2 should have been the ending of the Terminator series. Great list Cody and take care and stay safe 👍🏻.

[@Alyumic]

Halloween should've ended after the sequel

[@matthalsey7808]

One Halloween film was all that was needed, it was flawless, it’s a shame that it’s all about money not preserving a classic film

[@josefengelhardt2767]

​@@Alyumic if they had just waited almost 20 years to make a sequel to Halloween and came out with H20 and then waited 20 years again to make Halloween 2018 i wouldn't have anything bad to say about the franchise. Yes i liked H20 and 2018. If Halloween was just 1978, H20, 2018, Kills and Ends and they stopped there thay would've been great. My two worst Halloween movies are The Rob Zombie Remake and Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers.

[@Alyumic]

@@josefengelhardt2767 Halloween 4 was amazing and ends was so bad that even if they did wait it still would've ended the same

I would put devils rejects in this list personally. I loved the ending, it just fit those three so well. Them surviving made zero sense. I feel like that gun fight wouldn’t have stopped until all three had several bullets in their brain.

[@HEYitzED]

What’s worse than the Jaws sequels is the hundreds of awful ripoffs of Jaws. The killer shark sub genre is one of the worst things to happen to horror. There are literally like 5 good shark movies outside of Jaws.

[@12227UserName]

I agree with most of these, if not all. But the Matrix 100% should have never had any sequels. The film literally ends where Neo became the One, the Matrix crashed and he began to wake up those trapped inside. It would have been fine if they made spin-offs. But official sequels, no. Also, Die Hard and/or Die Hard 3 should have never had sequels. Die Hard 2 was sort of boring, but 4, 5 and 6 are absolute trash. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about them. Die Hard 3 worked well not just because of the well crafted action scenes and the great chemistry between John and Zeus, not to mention a pretty badass villain - but the story also made sense as a sequel. It made sense for John to be stuck in that situation, given the revenge angle that Gruber presented, even if it was mostly just a smoke screen.

This is a great list! Although, I enjoy some of the sequels to these movies, I can totally agree! I would add "The Descent" to this list. It didn't need a sequel (even though it's a guilty-pleasure for me).

What happened to your old list? The one that had The Matrix, Wreck-It Ralph and The Incredibles on there? And I thought you weren’t a fan of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York? Anyways, in hindsight of Inside Out 2 coming out, I did get curious and wanted to ask why you feel like The Incredibles didn’t need a sequel? Out of all the Pixar films that I know many wanted a sequel to, it was definitely The Incredibles and it was the most hyped when it was announced. Many fans I know were waiting for YEARS for The Incredibles sequel.

RE: Halloween Sorry Cody, im not trolling, but I genuinely think the Rob Zombie movies in 07 and 09 surpass the original Carpenter movie by some distance. Zombie's Michael was like a modern day Frankenstein and those two movies blew me away whereas tje original was imo underwhelming.
