Why film sequels and people don't work...

...because the more detail you add... the more...

█ offended viewer / receiver can become...

█ it wasn't what they thought originally, or perhaps wanted something else in sequel etc (it was nicer for them when it was ambiguous or broader concept)...

█ it becomes too complex or detailed...

█ things are done in a time or feeling that can be lost or simply different (like a different film crew entirely or few essential employees were not there or there too much to reflect actual intended result)...

█ what we see is not the reality (or there is more to it than the film or person we see). This can change the whole perception (of what we see as end result since we don't see early production or life of person or film before)...

█ becomes more human or obvious someone is changing or developing the story - often people want it to "stay" as it is which means no change, which is sometimes impossible especially as things do tend to move or should be though films and people do like it to "stay the same" in memory or reality...

e.g. The forest i your childhood eventually dies... sad not just from using wood for fire or commercial logging but naturally some insects can come from time to time and clean out a forest...

===================
(Disclaimer: above or original premise is not "all the time", but reliably in my experience and more often as human observation / calculation, "more" = the things listed above come in equation a lot more...)
