Ep 15. Chronologically Confused About Bad Movie and Video Game Sequel Titles

In season 1, episode 15 of Angry Video Game Nerd, titled "Chronologically Confused About Bad Movie and Video Game Sequel Titles," the Nerd takes a deep dive into the confusing world of sequel titles in video games and movies.

The episode starts with the Nerd introducing the topic by discussing how sequel titles in the entertainment industry can be confusing, with titles that don't follow chronological order or make sense thematically. He then proceeds to examine several examples of this phenomenon, starting with the Friday the 13th film series and its convoluted sequel titles.

He then moves on to video game sequels, examining titles like Final Fantasy, Mega Man, and Sonic the Hedgehog, all of which have confusing numbering and naming conventions. The Nerd hilariously rants about how the numbering of Final Fantasy games is completely nonsensical and how the Mega Man series has "more sequels than necessary."

After discussing several examples of confusing sequel titles, the Nerd offers his own solution to the problem: a chronological numbering system that makes sense both thematically and chronologically. He concocts his own numbering system for the Friday the 13th movies, which he argues makes much more sense than the actual titles.
