If prequels are executed correctly they could be fine. The Godfather Part 2 is great because it’s part prequel. You need to make the how interesting in a prequel. Most Action or adventure movies you know the hero is going to win but you have to make it interesting. I know indiana jones is going to survive yet there are three good and one great Indiana Jones movies. One of them is a prequel. Same thing with James Bond. Like all movies and ideas it’s execution dependent and I think most creators become lazy with prequels because they feel like they have to explain everything. Instead of writing the most interesting story characters and dialogue.

Often told as bridge films—how A got to B and then to C— prequels are arguably fundamentally unimaginative.‘

You didn’t understand and missed the entire point of the prequels. Congrats.
