THE RULES
Sequel definition: a work that continues a story from a previous work

For trilogies like LOTR, I picked the best of the 3

For franchises, I picked the best “sequel”

For franchises with “eras” like Batman or Bond I picked the best from a given era. 

For MCU, Endgame represents all lol 

Just because a movie is here does not mean I think it’s better than the first 

list is in no specific order
