Star Wars has to be THE prime example here.
How does the prequel/sequel make the og trilogy worst though?
Edit: i'm genuinely curious cus i fell asleep watching ep1
Some examples on top of my head:
Midi-chlorian - totally unnessary explaintion for the force
Anakain construction CP3-O in his room - why? This model is obviously already mass produced by some company .. and he builds it to help is mom around the house? He's a fucking protocol droid, not a maid. It makes no sense.
Giving Yoda a lightsaber - His character used to a wise, calm mentor, above using physical weapons, even mocking them. Now he's just another yedi NPC flipping around witha lightsaber and having a 100% to jump power or some shit. Also Yoda just is just acting stupid in general during the prequels. Totally ruined his character.
Anakains / Vaders entire story, really. - The original quote from Obi-Wan remembers Vader as "a good friend", yet, we never see any real friendship in the prequels. Quite the opposite really, Anakain went from being totally irrelevant in E1 to being a bratty dickhead that that dislikes Obi-Wan in E2. He has no real arc, he basically has always been kind of an asshole.
To add to your Anakin comments, the idea that he was some chosen, that the Jedi we're looking for some Messiah seemed lame to me. Just make Anakin a regular guy who becomes a Jedi and then falls to the dark side. It's been talked to death but Ep1-3 should have been from Obi Wan's perspective.
