Has anyone ever imagined how hard it would be to make a sequel (Story wise)?
I think one of the hardest things you have to deal with in a sequel is how you have to add on to the story of the previous entry. What makes it different? And all that.
The prequel had flaws, a big one is that it borrowed a lot from the original (the autopsy, the speech around the fire, etc). Which does kinda make sense because it's almost the exact same as the original.
I feel like you really can't add much, if anything, to a story about ambiguity. Explaining more about the Thing has the potential to make it less interesting and not all fans are gonna agree with these potential changes to the creatures lore.
Can't really change the setting because there isn't a lot of places as isolated as Antarctica.
I feel like you can't really make an interesting story for a sequel to this story. Has anyone else ever thought about this?
