First of wall literature sequels are completely different because it is that same author carrying on the story that THEY created, the world that THEY created, the characters that THEY created. It is completely different than a Peter Jackson creating a script from a story that is already in place to make a movie (not to knock on the heady task in chopping down Tolkien's works into a workable movie).
Like I said, I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Harry Potter or any number of other sequels. It's obnoxious that everyone is always saying, "oh I can't wait until random superhero movie II!" when great original works like Franklyn, Time Crimes, Sleep Dealer, get no recognition.
Different strokes for different folks. If the stars alligned and our country started craving those like they do things like Hancock 2, then there'd still be a group of people who would find some other unknown works to prefer. I understand the sequel problem, but in the end everyone is always ripping someone off.
