Quite a few sequels have to retcon the characters progression from the first movie to have a story to tell. What are examples of sequels who managed to avoid that? (piefed.zip)

The issue isn't the time required to build another one, just that it's weird to see the same "big evil thing to destroy" two times in a trilogy.

I mean they used it and it worked pretty effectively the first time. Like if someone had destroyed our nuke stockpile after hiroshima I think we would make more or if like the first carrier had been sunk but the concept proved effective I think we would make another.

The weapon makes sense, it's just a bit uninspired from a story telling perspective
