Reboot or Sequel?

No. And if you're being so disingenuous as to pick at my verbiage, stop focusing on my potentially flawed language, and focus on the actual comparisons being made here.

You know that Assault (2005) to Assault (1976) is different from Batman Begins to Batman 89, both of which are different from Candyman 2021 to Candyman.

If you can't see the difference between these three installments, then you're just arguing for the sake of arguing and there's nothing more to be said here.

Assault 2005 has always been referred to as a remake. Just like Psycho 98 is a remake of the original.

Batman Begins has always been referred to as a reboot of the Batman story, kind of like how Dredd is a reboot of the Judge Dredd character (it is neither remake or sequel to Stallone's film).

Candyman 2021 continues the story told in Candyman, just like Iron Man 2 continues the storyline in Iron Man. It's a sequel.

So I don't know what you're pretending to do here in this argument, but at this point, I think it's apparent that you're being insufferable for the sake of it. I probably should have stopped replying when you responded to

I mean, I don't know anything about that lol, but I described three different types of followups as they are commonly used.

You could argue to death whether or not these words are appropriate, but these are how they've been used in the past, and there's consistency in it.
