![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Make note that a Sequel Hook is not a combination of a Mythology Gag you noticed and wishful thinking. If the Sequel Hook revolves about a character other than the main character, it may indicate a possibility of Changing of the Guard. In the case of adaptations their source is usually a medium known for making multiple storylines and, in most cases, have a decades-long Myth Arc to mine for ideas. Pretty much every film based on a comic book sets itself up for a sequel, and any movie that goes out of its way to establish a very expansive universe that has room for a sequel. Sometimes the hook was just that, the writers are not sure which direction they would be going in the later work. In fact, this method is so common the audience will identify any unresolved plot element or any ending short of Happily Ever After or "Everybody Dies" Ending as a hook. If the audience demand is there, they'll be ready. The original work still has closure but, by leaving minor plot elements unresolved, the writer has made writing a sequel easier. The MacGuffins may come in threes, the Big Bad might be Not Quite Dead, or, more blatantly, as the story ends another adventure might be shown beginning. A Sequel Hook is something in a work that suggests that there is a clear possibility for another story. ![]()
