Also, the original worked because it was a new idea, same as Anchorman. Take a profession, ratchet the stupid up to 11 and have fun with it.

The sequel doesnt have the same "fresh ground" to walk over.

Super Troopers 2 has the same problem. It essentially is the same movie so the good jokes don't hit hard since they're just more of the same, and the new jokes felt like they were just cut out of the first one for not being good enough.

And this is why I'm skeptical about Deadpool &Wolverine. Deadpool 2 was good because even though Deadpool was great there was still plenty to make fun of in the superhero genre, but I'm not sure if there's enough fresh ground left for a 3rd one .

I can watch Deadpool 2 but I absolutely despise that kid. I mean, huge props to the actor because they did such a great job if I feel this strongly about him. But seriously, fuck that kid.
