Sequelitis

The condition that many sequels to successful films suffer from: re-hashing of plot points, shoving the best parts of the original back in your face until you almost hate it, ETC, all while trying to make the movie "bigger and better" than the original through the addition of an over-abundance of special effects, or new characters that you just dont care about (or, on some occasions, omitting major characters that people DID care about). Sequelitis can make one of 2 things happen: the third film will back off and be much better than the second, or part 2 will have been so awful that a 3rd never even gets made.
I dont remember there being a "Men in Black 2" until I saw it the other day, and now I remember why I forgot it to begin with. "Lets take a small joke and turn it into a main character!" Totally suffers from sequelitis.

Spiritual Sequel

A spiritual sequel, sometimes called a spiritual successor, is a successor to a video game, movie, novel, comic, stage play, or television mini-series. Instead of being a standard sequel, spiritual successors share genres, themes, styles, and often developer teams, without continuing on a previous story. While this term can apply to almost any content, it has most commonly been used in video games.
Bio Shock is the spiritual sequel to System Shock.

Sequel Nerd

A person who cannot wait for the next installment of their favorite movie to have one last adventure with the characters. Lately this has also branched out to video games and TV shows when no direct movie sequel can be created.
Sequel Nerd Comments:

I cannot wait for Tron: Legacy so we can see what happened to Flynn!

Back to the Future: The Game is going to be great, they even got Christopher Lloyd to be the voice of Doc Brown!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was decent but I hope they can make up for it with Indiana Jones 5!

A Very Potter Sequel

The TOTALLY AWESOME sequel to A Very Potter Musical which now has Umbridge, Firenze, Luna, Lupin, Rita, and Sirius! All new songs and dance are included as this sequel is in the setting of Harry Potter and friends FIRST year! That's right, they're going back in time for this one!
(or in this case, going back to Hogwarts!)
If you thought the first one was awesome, you'll want to feed yourselves to Aragog's children for this one!
And if you don't know what that last sentence was, it's all in the sequel, along with RED VINES and more! :D
1st person: *finishes watching the musical* "wow that was TOTALLY AWESOME! What should I do now??"

2nd person: "you know they made a sequel right? It's called A Very Potter Sequel and it's also very TOTALLY AWESOME!"

1st: *watches sequel and dies of happiness*
