What's with all these messed up chronologies in media today? (prequels, interquels)

[winb83]

A good example of this is the Street Fighter Series
Alpha takes place between I and II
IV takes place after II but before III

or another example is The Fast and Furious
you got 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3 and from what i heard 3 and 7 might occur in parallel chronologically.

next example Devil May Cry
3, 1, 4, 2

i honestly don't get why this is done. prequels and interquels ruin the tension of stories because you already know how they'll turn out. stories should be told in a linear fashion.

yeah, that fast & furious shyt fukked me all up, had no idea Tokyo drift was off the timeline like that. its like they built in an excuse for that p.o.s.

Street fighter iv was made as an inter quell as an excuse to put in the popular characters casual gamers were more familiar with since sf 3 didn't do well commercially. This saved them from having to explain what happened to the sf2 cast or age them

shyts just done to cover asses and bring back money franchises. You know damn well when Tokyo Drift was made it was a standalone movie, they had no idea of any more F/F's joints with Vin Diesel.

there is no real Zelda timeline. its a bunch of random made games around a theme and sometimes they say one took place before another but to me they're all stand alone.
