The Trouble With Prequels



The pros:
  • Bringing back dead characters
  • Squeezing more money out of a franchise that has reached a natural end point

The cons:
  • Actors don't age backwards
  • Technology doesn't develop backwards
  • People usually remember friends they've spent prolonged periods with when they were younger unless you play the "amnesia" card
  • Contrivance is allowed to happen more in fictional worlds than the real one, but only up to a point
