all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Is it really common a thing? Anyway, share what sequel films you think that are superior to the first (or earlier) film.
Recently in my head are these three.
This is my favorite among the trilogy and I feel is the strongest. It just had perfect stuff in it. It has establishing moments of Sauron's control, Saruman's power, the whole struggle, everything. While RotK felt like it had two longwinded fights and FotR was more about establishing stuff, this one manages to get both and do with them flawlessly.
Personally this one trumps the first. Better, more fluid fight and action (goddamn Lord Shen is a magnificent bastard and he's not even a fighter!), I think has a much better villain (Lord Shen is more of a psychological villain), has better character moments, and honestly managed to make a "let go" and "origins" story meld together. Which is why I fear for the 3rd movie.
Living proof that you don't need relatable characters to tell a good story. I easily find this one of the best Pixar films because of its unique character conflict, the whole outlook of the toys and their future (again, relatability blown the fuck out), and well, on the technical side, it made Toy Story look really good.
