Nothing would be more disappointing than Metropolis 3 imo

For films, some late sequels/prequels are very good or even better than the originals (Blade Runner 2049, Doctor Sleep, Top Gun Maverick, Furiosa etc.). But the list of shitty ones is far longer, offcourse. In terms of music, I can't think of too many examples honestly (I think the only real long term sequel I listen to is Thick as a Brick 2, which I really like, moreso than most people).

But at least for DT, the people doing the sequel would be the same band as a whole, which is not often the case for late sequels (outside of novels). If they feel they can add something to the concept, I think they should do it.

You are so right on the list of 'shitty sequels' being a mile long.

But...on the rare occasion, it happens.

Blade Runner 2049 and Fury Road are 2 examples of movies that blew me away (and I was VERY into the original releases). So, it's certainly possible.
