Kind of a random thought I had the other day while watching Frozen II. They had to completely erase Elsa’s evolution in the first movie to tell another story. None of her decisions in the second movie make sense when you watch both movies back to back.
Mind if I flip the question on you and ask for more examples of movies that do this? I’m, not doubting there’s plenty, but I’m tired and can’t think of any.
I did notice Predator 1/2 and to some extent Terminator 1/2 sidestep this by switching to a different protagonist. A lot of horror movie series do this too.
And, of course, games do this all the time, especially RPGs. Gothic comes to mind immediately. There’s some justification to it, but generally it’s something people let slide since building up a character is part of the fun.
On the marvel side of things there’s the Wandavision show and the doctor strange multiverse movie. The movie takes place right after the show, but character-progression-wise Wanda at the start of the movie might as well be at the start of the show
