First Installment Wins	comment	There's a general trend that when people consume works, especially serial works, they read/watch/listen in publication order. Which means "everyone" saw the first installment, most people saw the second, many people saw the third... the earlier it is in the series, the more familiar it is amongst the general populace. The culmination of this is that the very first installment (and, going even further, the first couple scenes, even) will be the one that is the most familiar by a wide margin. However, this is not true with all works. Creators anticipate that audiences may start a work during the middle of airing, so add tropes such as Soft Reboot to facilitate audience entry to that installment of the work. This provides a contrast where some installments of a series are more well-known or popular than others. Installments can range in size, proportional to the series. A franchise with three Sequel or Spinoff series can consider each one an installment, and each series can consider the first episode the first installment of that series. Examples should clearly define the scope of the series and why a given installment is first. William Hartnell, of Doctor Who, represents the first installment of the entire multimedia franchise, whereas Christopher Eccleston can only be considered the first installment of the "nu-who" Revival. Still, to "win", one of the Doctors would have to be better known than all of the others. By now it's recognized as never happening, and Whovians will often introduce themselves by "their" Doctor, which might be the second, fourth, twelfth, or whatever installment. Other works tend not to have the same struggles, and this page contains many examples of works that have embedded their first installments into the public consciousness far beyond what their successive installments have achieved. Concepts that help form this Audience Reaction are Nostalgia Filter, Sequelitis, and Small Reference Pools. Concepts that work against this reaction are Contested Sequel (when the first installment has a Broken Base), Early-Installment Weirdness (when the first installment feels strange to fans of the second) and Sophomore Slump (where the third installment of a series turns out to be better than the second, and possibly even the first). Note: Inversions may be listed in Sequel Displacement (or Adaptation Displacement), where one of the successive installments (including adaptations) has become vastly more popular than the original. Reactions similar to the inversion are Surprisingly Improved Sequel and Even Better Sequel, where the successive installment is considered better than the earlier installment, which often makes it more popular as well. A No Recent Examples rule applies to this trope. Examples shouldn't be added until six months after the third installment is released, to avoid any knee-jerk reactions. For similar reasons, examples shouldn't be removed until six months after a new installment disqualifies them.

First Installment Wins / int_110d4471	comment	Among the Predator films while most fans agree Predators and Prey (2022) are very good (some people even mistaking Predators for the actual Predator 2), the first film with Arnie and Carl is still considered the best and most iconic. Itâ€™s also the most frequently quoted e.g â€œI ainâ€™t got time to bleedâ€�, â€œWhatâ€™s got Billy so spooked?â€�, â€œGET TO THE CHOPPER!â€�, â€œIf it bleeds we can kill itâ€� and â€œDillon, you son of a bitch!â€� â€” que epic handshake.

Some fans would go further and argue is still the best show based on a Dreamworks movie, although Dragons: Riders of Berk and All Hail King Julien have solid fanbases who disagree.

First Installment Wins / int_120b18d7	comment	Did you know that there have been eight official King Kong movies? While the original from 1933 is one of the most referenced and recognizable films of all time, up there with Star Wars, its sequel The Son of Kong failed to make an impact on release and has languished in obscurity ever since. Most people are vaguely aware that Kong fought Godzilla once, but hardly anybody knows about the followup King Kong Escapes, a live-action adaptation of the 60s Kong animated series in which he fights a robotic duplicate of himself (pre-dating Mechagodzilla by seven years!). The 1976 remake is somewhat well known, but not nearly as iconic as the original. Its sequel, King Kong Lives, is only known among B-movie connoisseurs for being one of the worst films ever made. The Peter Jackson-helmed remake is also pretty well-known, but again not as much as the original, and certainly not as much as Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

First Installment Wins / int_1377df	comment	Terminator 2: Judgment Day is the more iconic of the original two James Cameron films. However, there are also many people who consider the first film superior due to its greater focus on horror, its darker tone, and its self-consistent timeline, as opposed to the more action-oriented sequels which involve changing the timeline in one way or another, opening up questions of paradoxes and bringing about an extremely confusing and flimsy canon. Also, because Kyle and Sarah are mere humans all alone without any Terminator allies like in the sequels, their situation and that of humanity at large feel much more desperate in a way that is virtually impossible for the sequels to match. Tellingly it also has the highest critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, the only film in the franchise to have a 100% score.

The inaugural season remains the only one to air in primetime, and the era most heavily circulated in reruns and home media. The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones, the first of the Jetsons' four feature-length endeavors, has proven the most iconic, especially among children of the '80s and '90s. Among the three in Warner Bros.' possession, it became the only one included in the Jetsons Complete Series DVD boxset.

First Installment Wins / int_16e1deec	comment	The original Big Gold Belt used in NWA and WCW from February 1986 to January 2001 is almost unanimously considered to be superior to the versions that replaced it, especially the ones made by WWE. note The original Big Gold was hand-engraved by a silversmith whose exact methods are a closely-guarded trade secret, making it impossible for anyone to make an exact copy of it (even Crumrine Jewelers themselves weren't able to perfectly replicate the original when a fan named Teddy Srour ordered a personal copy from Crumrine). The replacement used in the last few months of WCW and in WWF/E until early 2003 was a cast copy of the original (and the molds used to make it and four other copies no longer exist, meaning no further direct copies can be made unless the original belt is cast again at some point), but the plates were entirely gold-plated instead of the silver and gold two-tone of the original, making it harder to see the detailing on the plates and overall looking more generic. When WWE made their own version of the Big Gold with their company logo on it, it was smaller and less detailed than both the original and its cast copies.

Eventually, Crisis on Infinite Earths retconned Comet out, and Peter David created a new Comet in the late 90s for his Supergirl series. As typical of nearly all Post-Crisis replacements of Silver Age Superman concepts, new Comet's backstory and nature were even weirder and more convoluted, becoming quickly and completely forgotten in favor of the original Silver Age Comet. Even more modern stories like "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" use Comet's original version instead of Post-Crisis Comet.

It is also by far the most popular installment, having over four times as many views as the next most-viewed video and often having particularly memorable lines quoted whenever the episode it's based on is brought up. Its status is fueled primarily by the Daleks/Cybermen sass-off from "Doomsday" already being highly memetic and the dub adding goofier dialogue on top of it.

Some narrow it down further to the first four seasons, feeling that Season 5 recycled too many plot concepts and was sloppily animated due to them being animated with pens/markers instead of pencils. Regardless, the interpolated puppet-rigged animation from Season 6 onward has disappointed both camps.

That they are all B Team Sequels is a major factor. Also applies to the other B-Team Sequel to a David Cronenberg film, The Fly II. In this case, fans of the first film are well-aware of its existence and it has support among monster movie fans, but its much less ambitious and complex themes and characters mean it can never be regarded as an equal to its forbear.

Though, some fans see the other two shorts as Even Better Sequels. The first Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner short, Fast and Furry-ous, tends to be considered the best. Also, the Chuck Jones Road Runner shorts in general are considered to be superior to the two Robert McKimson shorts, the Friz Freleng short with Sylvester and Speedy Gonzales, and especially the eleven Rudy Larriva shorts (nicknamed "the Larriva Eleven").

Batman: Earth One — as the umpteenth-billion version of Batman's early days — was nothing special, especially since it was released just after DC's New 52 line hit the stands, and Volume 2 of the Superman series tried to be Spider-Man 2 but was more of a Star Trek Into Darkness.

Speaking of Friendship is Magic, the first season is the most iconic and recognizable to many inside and outside of the fanbase for its many establishing moments and songs, as well as Lauren Faust being the primary showrunner (She left during Season 2).

Neither Umineko: When They Cry nor Ciconia: When They Cry managed to live up to the success of Higurashi, with Umineko facing criticism for an Audience-Alienating Ending, alongside its anime adaptation being much less well-regarded, and Ciconia meanwhile having the misfortune of releasing after a lengthy Series Hiatus that dried up interest in the franchise, and its intended second phase falling into Development Hell.

However, from a financial standpoint, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, the eighth Shippuden film and the last Naruto movie overall, is the most popular out of ALL the movies since it made the most money (Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow made the third most).

There are fanbases for AlienÂ³ and Alien: Resurrection (which to be fair are actually okay films - though the over-the-topness of the fourth one is a point of contention - though definitely not as good as the original). Opinions are split on Prometheus; half the Alien fanbase considers it to be an incredible and intriguing new entry into the canon which gives a whole new area of the Alien Universe to explore and accepts it as canon, the other half believes it to be an unoriginal mess of ideas and tries to ignore it. Alien: Covenant featured a lot of Pandering to the Base starring the Xenomorphs heavily but ironically only managed to divide fans further and make people appreciate the firstâ€™s film subtlety and smaller scope even more.

First Installment Wins / int_366a284d	comment	The original Fist of the North Star manga can be divided into two eras: everything up to the end of the Raoh saga (or what was adapted into the first TV series) and everything afterward (the second TV series). The majority of the later anime and manga spin-offs, as well as the numerous video games based on the franchise tend to be based on or set around the former era, with even side characters like Juza or Amiba often getting more exposure than the major players from the later era like Falco and Kaioh. The 1984 TV anime by Toei Animation is also by far the most well-known adaptation of the manga, to the point where fans use it as the basis for what an adaptation of Fist of the North Star should be like. It helps that the anime constantly receives high amounts of praise for its use of music and voice acting to convey the right kinds of emotions from certain scenes, leading many to call it the adaptation with a heart.

While some series had more postmortem popularity than others (Choujin Sentai Jetman and Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger being respective examples in the early 1990s and the 2000s - and the latter has two 2010s post-series productions to back it up and the pre-Gokaiger Blu-Ray releasenote the only others that got the Blu-Ray release being Goranger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger), it is Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, the very first Sentai, that still gets the most exposure and is the subject of most homages and parodies, both in and outside the series. And just like the aforementioned Dekaranger, it got the Blu-Ray release. Albeit compared to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Goranger does not get as much special attention in Intra-Franchise Crossover stories nor in toylines (though the latter one is explained by Goranger predating Sentai's shift to a Merchandise-Driven nature). Choudenshi Bioman gets this in the Philippines and France as the first Sentai broadcast there, despite Bioman itself being the 8th installment in Super Sentai.

The first book, The Book of the Dun Cow, is the most well known book in the series, receiving widespread critical acclaim as well as an off-Broadway theater adaptation. While the sequel, The Book of Sorrows, was also well-received critically, its Darker and Edgier tone (even compared to the already pretty dark first book) made it a tough read for some fans of the original. Then the author rewrote and cut large parts of the second book to fit the third book, causing a Continuity Snarl, leading to criticism from fans of the first two books as they already stood, and making the third book, Peace at the Last, the most divisive of the three. It was quietly published in 2013 with almost none of the first two's fanfare or acclaim.

As a result, there are plenty of fans who prefer the first movie for its charm and lacking said contentious elements, and this is reflected in its 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes compared to the sequels' lesser (albeit still high) 92% and 91% respective ratings.

First Installment Wins / int_52e8fba	comment	Land of Oz: Perhaps because of the film adaption being a lot more popular than the book, most people are unaware that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has thirteen sequels written by L. Frank Baum and an additional 26 "official" books written by other authors after that. Clearly, it was not a dream all along. The original W.W. Denslow illustrations portray Dorothy with dark hair in Girlish Pigtails. John R. Neill's illustrations, which were used in most of the books, portray her as having a blonde '20s Bob Haircut. Denslow's design is slightly truer to the text as, though Dorothy's appearance isn't touched upon much, it is mentioned that she only has two dresses, but Neill was fond of giving Dorothy an Unlimited Wardrobe. W.W. Denslow's pigtailed brunette design is how most people see Dorothy and is also the one used in the movie and most other adaptations (though, a number of fanfics and Oz derivatives do make Dorothy a blonde).

Despite the contemporary incarnation running longer than its two predecessors combined, the original Richard Dawson version is still what most people think of when they think of the Feud, and the persistence of the Dawson and Combs eras in reruns has not hurt either.

For instance, the Fellowship-exclusive character Boromir is far more well-known than his brother Faramir despite the latter's large role in the sequels, the showdown between Gandalf and the Balrog is the single most iconic moment in the trilogy, a disproportionate number of Fellowship quotes have been immortalized as memes, and Gandalf's grey outfit is far more recognizable than the white one he dons in the sequels.note Strictly speaking, they're not "sequels" so much as the latter two-thirds of a single story Divided for Publication, but the point stands. The Hobbit trilogy, although far from obscure, is nowhere near as iconic as the prior Lord of the Rings trilogy.

GoldenEye, the first film with Pierce Brosnan as Bond, is generally regarded as his best film. There are fans who prefer either Tomorrow Never Dies or The World Is Not Enough, but those ones are more divisive entries than GoldenEye is. A similar occurrence is at play with Daniel Craig era as his first film, Casino Royale, is generally the most unambiguously loved for its action sequences, tense poker scenes, chilling villain, fan favourite Bond girl and heartbreaking ending. Among the Craig sequels only Skyfall (the highest grossing Bond film ever) truly rivals Casino Royale.

It's also the most familiar installment to those who might only be casually familiar with Robotech. Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross (The Masters) and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA (The New Generation) have their fans, but their lack of recognition may have to do with merchandising in Japan. The Valkyrie mecha (Veritech Fighter) has become an institution in and of itself. The Spartus hovertank and Alpha Fighter...not so much. It's reflective of how the original shows were also received in Japan; Macross has become a respectable Long Running franchise in its own right, while there has been little interest in revisiting the settings of Southern Cross and MOSPEADA. This also applies to Super Dimension Fortress Macross itself, which is the most popular and best-known of the Macross series, and usually considered the best.

Hell this applies to the greater franchise as a whole as Iron Man 1 still ranks very high for many several decades on despite the competition simply for its freshness and un-family friendly grittiness before the MCU fully ballooned in its wake. When it comes to the Avengers films and which one truly stands on its own merits, The Avengers (2012) has by far the least Broken Base and tightest story of the tetralogy with a manageable cast of characters, best balance of grittiness and lightheartedness, many spectacular fights sequences and is what truly made the MCU the industry juggernaut that it became. Of its sequels Avengers: Infinity War and to a slightly lesser extent Avengers: Endgame rival its acclaim but have far more caveats and discourse, though its generally agreed that Avengers: Age of Ultron is the real weakest entry (despite having its fair share of fans).

First Installment Wins / int_701f0ece	comment	When it comes to Berserk pretty much the only adaptation thatâ€™s considered to have done justice to the original manga is the very first 1997 anime which remains the most beloved many decades on for its true-to-the-text atmosphere and quieter moments and magnificent soundtrack by Susumu Hirasawa (barring the corny intro song). Berserk: The Golden Age Arc has a lot of fans and acclaim (particularly the third film) but is derided for Conspicuous CG and removing important character moments featured in the manga and 97 anime (though this got somewhat fixed with the memorial edition), while the infamous Berserk (2016) series just makes the 1997 anime even better by comparison.

First Installment Wins / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 has lasted the longest of all the shows in the franchise and has the largest following, given how many times it was Un-Canceled. Stargate Atlantis lasted several seasons, while Stargate Universe (having a different format) was canceled fairly quickly. No mention of Stargate Infinity, a (non-canon) short-lived cartoon series. Surprisingly, the original installment, the Stargate film, is something most people who are fans of the series must be introduced to the film retroactively only after watching the series. Understandable with it being a relatively obscure sci-fi film from the 90s.

One of them, Hellseeker, even functions as a direct sequel to the second film in the franchise. In terms of the big horror franchises of the 80s and 90s, this actually places Hellraiser second only to the Friday the 13th series in terms of the number of entries.

The fourth movie is at times neglected even by them. The LEGO Movie remains the most critically and financially successful of LEGO's theatrical films. While most of the later ones also received warm receptions in their own rights, the majority of viewers seem to find the novelty of the toys reaching the big screen, with more charm and depth than the average Merchandise-Driven cartoon, felt freshest in the original.

And just like the aforementioned Dekaranger, it got the Blu-Ray release. Albeit compared to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Goranger does not get as much special attention in Intra-Franchise Crossover stories nor in toylines (though the latter one is explained by Goranger predating Sentai's shift to a Merchandise-Driven nature).

It is also one of the author's most popular stories. While the sequels are far from being considered bad by the fanbase, none were quite the hit that the first one was. It helps that, unlike the sequels, it's a mostly straightforward supernatural romance story, while the others often got lost in world-building and lost focus on the romance most fans were there for. Many also felt that it had the best villain from the series in Livia.

The sequels were not treated with the same sentiment, veering even further from the story of the games, having more ridiculous action and plots, non-existent continuity that make watching the whole series pointless, and especially because they turned Alice (the Canon Foreigner main character who is, not coincidentally, also the director's wife) into an Invincible Hero.

Virtually everyone knows about stairs and warnings thereof, but the chances of hearing about any other quotations from the series aren't all that great. This is partly because that first entry is always the one that comes up when you load the comic's home page (as it displays the first comic, not the most recent one), and partly because it's one of the more commonly-referenced pages within Homestuck itself.

Furthermore, Star Trek: The Next Generation was much more popular than the other Star Trek shows created after the original.

In fact, TNG was, by most metrics, more popular than the original series had been during its first-run... but the financial success of the TOS-based movies remains unmatched.

Nearly the entire remainder of the series' pop culture reputation comes from the second season, with DHARMA Initiative. The first season is also the least disputed one as all five that followed are accused of Seasonal Rot, if only for making the plot weirder as it went. The fact that the show completely changed focus around Season 3 makes it very easy to identify someone who hasn't watched the show since the first season, and the fact that it continued changing focus every season after that makes it also easy to identify when someone stopped watching.

As for Shippuden, ironically enough the first movie during the second half of the series is arguably second in popularity. However, from a financial standpoint, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, the eighth Shippuden film and the last Naruto movie overall, is the most popular out of ALL the movies since it made the most money (Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow made the third most). This trope can also apply to the Naruto series as a whole. Naruto receives more praise than Naruto Shippuden which suffers from an Annihilated Base — though everyone generally agrees that the last eighty or so episodes of Filler in the original series means it's not by that large of a margin. Boruto also had a hard time keeping up with the reputation of Naruto thanks to its Lighter and Softer first several dozens episodes and its Base-Breaking Character protagonist.

However, Streaky would be Put on a Bus in 1971 as part of an effort to make the Superman books less "silly". Since then, several writers have tried to give Supergirl and even Power Girl a non-powered pet cat, but neither of them stuck precisely because they were just a regular cat, ergo unremarkable. However, people kept remembering the original Streaky, so he eventually returned to the comics.

While Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and Scooby-Doo!

The movies that immediately followed (The Witch's Ghost, The Alien Invaders, and The Cyber Chase) are all held in high regard, with The Witch's Ghost in particular birthing the Hex Girls, but not to the same degree.

Far less people will be familiar with the second or third book series despite them containing plenty of great adventure and interest to fans like Lief and Jasmine becoming an Official Couple for one and taming dragons for another. Of course the popularity of the anime adaptation, that only covers the first book series, helps with the Pirran Pipe and Four Sister sequel series books obscurity. Usually resulting in â€œWait thereâ€™s more?â€� responses from people whom have only watched the anime or read the manga adaptations and are informed that there were more adventures afterwards.

In a variant, many consider this to apply to all the movies that tried to follow the steps of it, with the first Jaws being the only good movie about sharks (at most Open Water and The Shallows get a pass, and both had to take a different approach to the overall "shark attack" story).

First Installment Wins / int_b3704ffa	comment	Saw is widely regarded as the best Saw movie. Despite having six sequels, most believe that none of them compare to the original; some fans even consider the first movie the only good Saw movie. Ironically, the first movie lacked most of the franchise's signature elements; the deathtraps weren't particularly elaborate nor overly gory, being much more of a psychological thriller about kidnapping victims and the police trying to figure out what happened; to some this is the reason why the first film is the best one.

By the 1990s, DC did not want multiple Kryptonian characters around, not even dogs, so they tried to replace him with a common Earth dog who was named "Krypto" by a Superman fanboy...and who hardly someone became popular in-and-out-universe and only made a handful of appearances before being sent to comic-book Limbo, completely forgotten and replaced by the returning original Krypto.

It's also the most familiar installment to those who might only be casually familiar with Robotech. Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross (The Masters) and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA (The New Generation) have their fans, but their lack of recognition may have to do with merchandising in Japan. The Valkyrie mecha (Veritech Fighter) has become an institution in and of itself. The Spartus hovertank and Alpha Fighter...not so much. It's reflective of how the original shows were also received in Japan; Macross has become a respectable Long Running franchise in its own right, while there has been little interest in revisiting the settings of Southern Cross and MOSPEADA.

When discussing the series, the now iconic moments of Joyce using the Christmas lights to communicate to Will and Eleven saving Mike and Dustin before having a Group Hug are brought up far more than moments from the second and third seasons. Incredibly, the fourth season, thanks to numerous great scenes and new characters and what is generally considered a huge improvement from Seasons 2 and 3, has managed to rival the first, being extremely acclaimed and discussed, even if the first season is still the best liked overall.

Seasons 5 and 6—which were produced after Craig McCracken left to work on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, are considered a sharp decline in quality. In general, the 1998 series is considered the best of the franchise. People tend to overlook the infamously despised 2016 reboot or the often-forgotten 2006 anime adaptation due to their lack of involvement from Craig McCracken, along with the former spending less time on the superhero aspect of the PPG—being more of a Sliceof Life comedy with a more surreal tone, while the anime functions more like a Magical Girl show a la Sailor Moon.

Not even the mid-to-late 1990s animated reboot Extreme Ghostbusters is remembered much (though it has been somewhat Vindicated by History and does have a following by those nostalgic for obscure 1990s cartoons that aired in first-run syndication). And the less said about the 2016 all-female remake, the better. Much of why Ghostbusters: Afterlife was so warmly received by the fandom revolves around its extended homage to the original movie. The phrase "lightning in a bottle" is frequently used to describe the original movie, as it features a cast of seasoned comic actors in the height of their prime giving some career-highlight performances, whereas most sequels and adaptations hinge far more on the novelty of the core "supernatural extermination service" premise rather than on the quality of the humor, to decidedly mixed results.

First Installment Wins / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Series: Everyone knows of the first movie of the PokÃ©mon anime. People also tend to know about the next two. But people outside the fandom are typically oblivious to the fact that there are 23 films and counting. The first season of the anime (Indigo League) is also the most recognized outside of the fanbase. Out of all the theme songs of the PokÃ©mon anime that have been made in the US, the first theme is considered by many to be the best and is easily the most recognized. A new cover of the original theme was composed for the XY series. The Johto League Champions season uses the first verse, but afterwards diverges into its own theme. A fair amount of fans dislike the XY Mega Evolution Specials for their more serious stories and the older lead of Alain, preferring the more idealistic take on the series with Ash. This hate only intensified when Alain appeared in the main series and, in a very controversial decision, beat Ash at the Kalos League to become its Champion.

You'd be very hard-pressed to find someone aware of anything beyond that book; that it was the only installment adapted for film doesn't help. This also extends to the work of Douglas Adams in general; Hitchhiker's is by far his best-known work, and his other books are dwarfed to a massive degree by it. In a subversion, not many people are aware that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978) was a BBC Radio series before it was a book. (Though the radio series is itself an example: the well-known parts of the story are all from the "primary phase".)

Most felt that the third film was mediocre in comparison to the previous two because it's just the first movie but a different guy fighting Daniel in the tournament. You also have Daniel's character, who matured a bit in the second film, while in the third he suffered a case of Flanderization. The less said about The Next Karate Kid the better. The 2010 remake/reboot was met with decent critical and fan reception, but didn't leave a lasting impact on pop culture.

Ironically enough, it was the least successful at the box office; the most successful was the book's second trip to the big screen, which later faced intense backlash for being seen as an insult to the original. While Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, and Fantastic Mr. Fox are still cult classics, and generally more respected today than the 2005 Charlie, neither of them are quite on the level as the 1971 Willy Wonka.

But because some information is revealed before others, you have to see every girl's story in a certain order, to its full conclusion. (START Arcueid->Ciel->Akiha->Hisui->Kohaku END.) Since Tsukihime truly is a novel, with tens of thousands of lines of text, casual players without a lot of time to devote to the game only play the first installment, Arcueid's route, without getting far enough to start on anyone else's. Arcueid is also the most popular of all the main heroines among fans, completely defying the First Girl Wins rule. And how many people have actually played its sequel, Kagetsu Tohya?

First Installment Wins / int_fb9c177d	comment	Whenever Transformers is ever referenced in popular media, the references will almost always be about the original cartoon (with occasional mentions of the AllSpark). By now, though, the movieverse has eclipsed all else when it comes to what the world at large (as opposed to actual fans of the franchise) thinks of when they think of it; by now, you'll hear the name "Bumblebee" even more than "Optimus Prime" in passing due to 'Bee's increased screentime. However, the franchise deserves special mention in terms of this trope because of the purist fans - to them, G1 isn't just the most memorable, but They Changed It, Now It Sucks! as practically a religion. It's hard to find a Star Trek fan who hates TNG for simply not being TOS, but if you dare suggest something not G1 is something other than garbage, let alone better, well... it won't be pretty. This has improved somewhat in recent years, though, largely as the original G1 fandom has been fairly willing to admit the original cartoon was none too hot itself. The TFwiki also discusses "GEEWUN", about parts of the Unpleasable Fanbase who only like the G1 stuff. Within the franchise itself, Beast Wars's corner of the continuity has this going on. The original Beast Wars is seen as one of the pinnacles of the franchise, while everything to do with the Beast Era since then (Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, Beast Machines, the Universe and Collector's Club comics, IDW's Gathering and Ascension, Dawn of the Predacus), has been at best controversial, and more than a few attempted followups contradict or outright ignore one another, only taking the original cartoon as canon. The only one uncontroversially seen as good is Beast Wars: Uprising, which, on top of being far more obscure, is also an extremely heavy Alternate Universe. Depictions of the characters, such as their Masterpiece toys, also almost invariably use their Season 1 designs.

First Installment Wins / int_fc7d85d3	comment	Ice Age: The Meltdown: More like first sequel in this case. The Meltdown is the best-reviewed Ice Age sequel among critics and audiences, receiving praise for being a natural continuation of the first movie's story and having mostly good additions to the cast as well as some positive critics and fans arguing that this film is just as good as, or an Even Better Sequel to the original movie.

First Installment Wins / int_fcfec4b6	comment	Noir, the first installment of Bee Train's Girls with Guns trilogy, remains by far the most famous and popular one, despite Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja's virtues.

First Installment Wins / int_fd3f592	comment	Despite having three theatrical sequels and four DTV installments to its name, the first American Pie is still the most-remembered of the franchise. In addition to being released the most times of any of the films (in both rated/unrated Collector's/Ultimate editions and compilation boxsets), it featured most of the signature moments the series became famous for.

First Installment Wins / int_fda9c8b	comment	Downton Abbey: The first season is regarded the most favorably with almost universal appreciation. The second season is reasonably popular but criticized for its more soap-opera like elements, the third is disliked because of Sybil and Matthew's deaths and the fourth went past the point of no return for a lot of viewers.

First Installment Wins / int_ff66c30e	comment	The Muppets: There have been follow-up series after The Muppet Show, but the first is the most famous. The other shows used new settings, while the Muppet Theater setting is usually the one depicted in merchandise. The Muppets (2015) put the show in a different format from the previous shows, and following that show's cancellation, the Muppets have done a number of live shows invoking the classic Muppet Show format. But then again, all the follow-up shows were Short-Runners. Gonzo and various members of The Electric Mayhem have changed their default outfits over the years, but in merchandise and illustrations, the characters are generally depicted in their original outfits.
