** Some also opt to discount [[Film/AmericanWedding the third film]] due to the absence of several main characters. Jim and Michelle getting married is pretty much the only thing that's acknowledged in ''Reunion'' and fans considered that a given, so viewers can easily go from the second film to the fourth without missing anything important.

Added DiffLines:
** To a lesser extent, the even-numbered ''Thor'' sequels aren't considered as significant as the first ''Film/Thor2011'' or ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' thanks to both sequels trying to juggle a tragic love story with MCU-brand comedy and setting up an enemy for Thor whose interactions with him never go any further than eating his hammer. They also had a habit of treating their female characters as satellites to Thor, while ''Ragnarok'' introduced both a female hero and a female villain with independent character arcs.
