    Apparently the director didn’t want to do a sequel so he came up with a bad idea that he thought the studio would never go for, but they did.

      I have heard this too, but I think it could also be that the director kinda got lucky with the first movie. I enjoyed the first movie, but it didn’t really feel original, it just seemed to borrow ideas from other movies and those ideas just worked cohesively enough. None of Todd Phillips other movies feel that original either.
