The Matrix is an often used example, but for me it’s the Alien Prequels - especially Alien: Covenant really makes the Original Alien much worse. When the original was released in 1979 it had the perfect Monster. A dangerous killing machine of unknown origin. The missing background of the alien is a big part of its scary mess....

Now you watch the characters in the main series and you know he just ends up spiked through the chest...

Magic school bus. What have they done to you... (lemmy.world)
Which sequels/prequels/spinoffs made the originals somehow worse?
