• Tremors escalated the abilities and threats of the monster worms (called graboids) in the two sequels Tremors 2 and 3, and progressed from almost a pure deadpan horror story with few comedic elements in the first film, to the character Burt Gummer becoming a breakout hero whose conflicts with the monsters were ever more characterized by subtle humor and overall badassness. Tremors 4, however, broke this formula in the act of trying too hard to continue it, and consequently sucked.

The original Tremors is the most popular version. All of the rest are DTV sequels that much fewer people ever saw.

Sorry, but Blackadder series 1 is considered "excellent in its own right"? Who says this? When Blackadder ranks on popular comedy shows, I'm pretty sure it's propped up entirely by series 2-4.

Should there be a trope page for Even Better Remake/Reboot?

I'm going to remove Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood from the examples. It's a re-adaption of the source material, so it can't really be called a sequel.

Street Fighter's on this and Surprisingly Improved Sequel. Which is it?

There are a lot of valid examples posted in this trope, but I would suggest a large amount of the "personal fandom" of some of the sections may need to be reviewed, since saying something is "awesome 'cause Henry Rollins wuz in it!" makes some of these pages hard to take seriously sometimes.
