Eh, if true, I'm worried. Some movies are great as is and don't need a sequel just because people loved it. This is one of them. I heard rumblings of an Edge of Tomorrow sequel in development. That is another one that doesn't need it. Two amazing movies, just let them exist.
I feel like this discussion has been had here before but do you (or anyone here) feel the sequel has some bearing on how you view the original thereafter?

Yeah it just depends, like Burt said. Some sequels that suck I just pretend don't exist and only ever talk about/watch the original. Others do take a little away from the mystique and high pedestal of movies I love. I'll try to think of an example of the latter.

Unless the sequel retcons or adjusts themes/understanding of the original, I usually don't give a shit.

I was thinking "this is some corny shit" and then I saw Dafoe's unfortunate mug and I knew this would bang. That mug has power.

My most "I'm living in my own bubble" experience is seeing other people still getting excited for upcoming movies; sometimes I forget that still happens. I'd rather dig my own brain out with a fork than sit through a Robert Eggers Nosferatu movie

lol obviously I'm being hyperbolic and I know people still get excited about movies but I have consciously disengaged with most internet channels where I would hear about such things. I try to just stick to talking to a few of my closest friends about movies at this point. Current cinema is too bleak to care about for me.
