Sometimes there's a Sequel that attempts to address complaints people had with the original, or build upon the original's perceived strengths. Sometimes, in its attempt to do so, though, it may lose track of what made the original so great for many. If that happens, there may be a huge split in the fanbase, with some fans saying that the sequel is an excellent improvement, with others saying that the sequel's improvements aren't worth the other changes made. This can result in large flame wars when someone who prefers the original argues with those who consider the sequel to be superior.

Sometimes, the company will try to fix things with the next in the series, only to make more friends and more enemies. Possible result of an Unpleasable Fanbase. Note, this is not for sequels where people overwhelmingly agree that the sequel is bad. It's for sequels where many fans think it's bad and others think it's good, usually for different reasons. Also, it's not for sequels which people disregard as part of the series. See also First Installment Wins, Critical Backlash. Examples of Contested Sequel include:
