Why are movie sequels frequently not very good?
The answer is rooted in the reality (often overlooked) that most movies aren't very good, period. Developing a movie that turns into a smash success is serious black magic. The vast majority of stories and scripts (i.e., nearly 100%) aren't good, and... even with a good one it takes tremendous execution and creative vision by the director to create an integrated creative work that magically transports viewers to a new world. This is why the best directors (and the best acting talent) get paid so much money. It is really, really hard to make a great movie.So in this context, why would we think that a sequel would be any good? Just because the first film caught lightning in a bottle doesn't necessarily mean that the second one will. The biggest challenge for a sequel is to come up with a new story that's original and great. That's not easy. The first movie had a great story and the advantage of novelty -- the delight of introducing characters for the first time and introducing their pairwise / group-wise relationships, and showing you these early relationships developing / blooming. That was fun and exciting for viewers. Now with a sequel, you don't have that advantage. Everybody already knows Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, etc. So, to repeat, for a sequel to be good, it has to have a great new story. It might also need new characters, but story is the priority.This is one of the reasons why Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have been such valuable movie franchises, accounting for 9 of the top 26 grossing films of all time. These two series come with multiple script stories pre-baked -- ready to go. Comic book characters also have this advantage; all great superheroes come with many good guy/bad guy stories.

What if Fredrick Douglas was still alive?
Apologies to Mr. Douglass, but his medical novelty would be way more important than his civil rights speeches ever could be. He could be the greatest writer/orator in the world, but doctors would keep him on a leash too tight to express himself.That said, he’d probably be pleased that civil rights has advanced so far, and disappointed that civil rights haven’t advanced far enough.
Does A royal like the Queen of the UK or even a prince ever carry money or even a wallet?
The Queen never carries money except on Sundays when she carries an ironed (yes, ironed) and folded five pound note for the church collection plate. I am pretty sure that the same is true of Prince Charles. That is, he does not carry money except, possibly, for the church collection plate. Retainers carry money for the royals. After all, there is no time when the high-ranking royals are not accompanied by retainers when they would find themselves in need of cash or a credit card.The same may not be true for William, the Duke of Cambridge or, especially, Prince Harry who may have carried money while in the service, for example. While Prince Harry was trying hard to be “one of the guys”, having his security guard pay for his round in the pub might have been embarrassing. But, who knows, even then he might not have carried money.
