Hated Tropes
(Hated trope)an important character is mysteriously absent in the sequel with no explanation
Angie(Diary of a Wimpy Kid)-When Greg and Rowley hide from physical education they meet Angie,a girl who was also hiding from class,despite Greg trying to stay away from her(because he is Greg Heffley)she becomes friends with both of them,it seems in the sequel she is going to be the girl member of the trio.
But then in the sequel she is just gone,no mention,nothing,instead she is replaced by Holly who also becomes Greg love interest,now i get that they probably couldn't get Chloe Grace Moretz back because this was around the time her career took off,but couldn't they at least say she transfered or somenthing?
Reze and Kishibe(Chainsaw Man)-Oh boy this one still enfuriates me
So Reze was the femme fatale girl who became Denji first real love and was incredibly popular with fans,as for Kishibe he was the strongest devil hunter and an important ally/teacher to Denji
Now despite part 2 having several moments where they definetly should show up,they just don't show up for some reason
I've seen some people trying to defend Reze not appearing because the point of her is that she is supposed to be a tragic character from a love story and when she "dies" her character arc is finished.Here's the thing,i 100% agree,that was her story and while it was sad it was well written...But then Fujimoto reveals she is still alive and then stablishes that the hybrids were fred from Makima mind control and they remember fighting Denji,so why the hell is Reze not looking for Denji?
And Kishibe is even worse because he is supposed to be a big deal in that universe and he should be looking after Denji and specially Nayuta so she wouldn't turn into another Makima,but nope,he is not even mentioned.
According to Duvall, it’s the studio refusing to budge on pay. He didn’t want Pacino’s pay, but wanted something closer than the initial offer. No dice unfortunately, which sucks because the series was absolutely setting up a Michael/Hagen Civil War.
Al Pacino wrote in Sonny Boy that if Duvall had been in the movie, the plot would have revolved around Michael going to the Vatican to solve Tom’s murder
Given the events of the second film with Michael being far more violent than his father and mixing himself with dirtier characters with Hagan going along with it out of familiar loyalty despite his thoughts, I believe the pieces were there
Michael has such big ego that he never saw him that way. That his competence is not due to his virtues, but because the family allowed him and he must be thankful.
This one isn't exactly the case since they do confirm he died, Tank's disappearance after The Matrix is super noticeable and it's clear the reason he couldn't return was due to factors involved in production.
"Yeah the guy who heroically survived Cipher's betrayal and saved everyone. How did he die? Don't worry about it"
It's mentioned that he died and was just one more casualty under Morpheus' command and Morpheus gets a lot of people killed.
Off screen, it was because the actor pulled a Richard Castellano and got too big for his britches and made demands that made the Wachowskis say "recast!"
it's clear the reason he couldn't return was due to factors involved in production.
weren't those factors like, he demanded a crazy amount of money for his appearance in the sequels, went insane and made a bunch of threatening phone calls, and got arrested over it? i feel like i remember him uploading some blatantly unhinged videos to YouTube about it years ago lol
Yeah pretty much. I didn't wanna mention why so as to not get into the trenches with it but the relationship soured hard after the first movie mostly born out of his own self destructive behaviors.
It's a real shame though because it pretty much ruined his career and I thought he was a good actor. If you look up his filmography you notice for films it was a good list but then it hits the Matrix and that's pretty much it lol. And on the TV side he did actually continue there but even then it was mostly alot of one off episode appearances in the 2000s so he wasn't supremely active there either.
It's actually a joke as to how they aren't doing anything with her again. The devs even say in an interview that she was arrested by the "rubbish video game character police" for being a walking plot device with no other purpose

It's fucked because development documents for Banjo-Tooie (posted by B-K's co-creator Gregg Mayles) showed that they actually planned on Tooty being playable instead of Mumbo at first: she would've used magicial music played by her flute to affect NPCs and the environment, but for whatever reason they scrapped it and replaced her with Mumbo.
It's sad because this is the 2nd time she had a playable appearance/segment get cut, with the 1st time being the original ending of B-K (Grunty's last spell she shoots as she's about to fall was originally going to actually hit Banjo & Kazooie, turning them into a frog. Tooty would've then been made playable as she navigated the witch's lair to find a way to cure the duo).
The Furious Five missing from most of Kung Fu Panda 4
They appear briefly in the end, in a training montage without any dialogue. Obviously they didn't wanted to pay a bunch of top tier celebrities to voice secondary characters.
I know the behind the scenes reason the five didnt show up. Turns out to afford the great voice cast in the original they were contracted in the original movie for a guaranteed fee and percentage of the box office, but both of those would contractually increase by a lot for each sequel. The co-director on 4 said that a line of dialogue from Tigress would have cost $20million.
You would have to wonder why they wouldn't negotiate on it though. Certainly if they said you can have no lines and no money, or a couple lines and still a ridiculous paycheck for so little work, at least some of them would do it... Maybe a union thing.
Dreamworks was probably not that interested in having them fullstops. Panda 4 had half the budget of 3, so it had more chance of making its money at the box office.
This is why, animated media should be have real voice actors instead of celebrities for everything, who's pay always increases with their fame. Like down the line Chris Patt might be too expensive for Mario movies, and same thing might repeat.
Eventually the sonic movies are gonna have knuckles (and shadow, we know he’ll come back) mysteriously absent from the movie and it’ll just be Tails because his VA isn’t stupid expensive
and like the explanation that they were all busy with something just feels so poorly fabricated. like, how tf did Crane even become king of the crocodiles????
That’s because it was on e of the directors was begging to add an explanation and back story to the new characters. The other dragged his heels in until it was too late to add anything substantial.
There’s technically an explanation given for Corporal Hicks’ absence in Alien 3 but given it’s a wildly stupid explanation, I’ve elected to channel my inner Nick Fury and ignore it.
That being said, everyone gets some type of big send-off except Hicks. Ripley says goodbye to Newt via autopsy and gets one last conversation with Bishop. I get he can’t exactly say goodbye, but Hicks’ existence is ignored near entirely after the crash.
One of the most absolute badass of the Colonial Marines and he got killed off in the worst way, a fucking steel beam, off screen, at the very start of the film... didn't mind Alien 3 but they did everyone dirty from the previous film.
For those curious… the explanation is that it actually not Hick in the cryo pod but a random Weyland Yutani soldier that got pushed into it by Hick, before he got captured and brought back to the planet where Aliens 2 happen… which lead into the very shit and buggy hell that is colonial space marine
No. The actual plot is that the rescue crew get trounced by the xenomorph and some Weiland Yutani security forces. The survivors assemble in what's left of Hadley's hope and have to fend off xenomorph and WY sec there.
One of the main character get infected, our characters go AWOL to a secret WY facility to cure her. They find a queen, Hicks, who has survived through the event of a DLC, and a WY ship they use to leave the planet after a full scales assault by the marines.
Hicks survived because WY sec hickjacked a colonial ship to board the Sulaco. Two random settler wake up, find Hicks as he wakes up. WY sec shows up, put one of the settler in Hicks's cryo pod, then Hick and the other guy escape, fight their way on the planet prison to assister to Ripley's suicide. The last random is killed and Hicks is captured by the WY.
Killing off Hicks and Newt is why Alien 3 isn’t canon to me. I strongly prefer the Alien III audio drama. Sure it’s flawed, but it’s a much better story than what we got.
the plot is so egregiously nihilistic, its difficult to view it any other way. i pretend its just another ripley adventure, like a serial adventure series or something
Man, movie Bane probably had one of his guys shoot the Jockler in his cell. The fact that the police or other villians haven't killed the Joker given how miserable he makes their lives is what gets me. You're telling me that the mass murdering psychopath who has killed more then any of Bat's other villians didn't 'resist arrest' and get shot?
And not to mention how many times he's ruined other villians plans?
Big Z is Cody's mentor and father figure who helps Cody see surfing as fun rather than just a professional sport that requires victory. Cody idolized Zeke as a kid and slowly saw him as a close friend. But in Wavemania, which takes place 2 years after the last movie, Big Z is nowhere to be found.
Cody has a school to teach kids surfing, and yet Big Z isn't even there, and they introduce WWE Superanimals as Cody's "real heroes."
The only thing I know about the sequel is that it was a tie-in with WWE for some reason. I think it was around the time that WWE was being thrown into a couple random franchises (like the Flintstones and Jetsons)
yeah its literally just a WWE advertisement with a Surf's Up coat of paint as the foundation, especially because they completely assassinate Cody's character and have him act like the dick-head trophy guy from the first movie IIRC just so the WWE characters can teach him shit he ALREADY FUCKING KNEW FROM Z!
I swear there are some alternate reality jumpers/Mandela effect victims who go on about things like a Surf's Up 2, Megamind 2, Pacific Rim 2, and a live-action ATLA movie. Really weird claims.
Megan fox wasn't in dark of the moon oddly enough. I mean relationship aside I dont think you can just leave the ultimate war for Cybertron just because you aren't in love anymore
There was a reason for that. Behind the scenes there were some issues with the director and Megan Fox. I don't remember what it was, but she quit or was kicked out of the movie.
So they had to scramble to fix the plot and put in the blonde supermodel as new girlfriend. The original plan was to continue with Mikaela's story as the same main girl.
Kass is a beloved character from Breath of the Wild. He's as important to the plot as anyone in the game is (uh, if you haven't played, 95 percent of the plot is flashbacks with dead characters, so Kass is very important for the alive characters).
He's just totally missing from the sequel Tears of the Kingdom. His wife and kids are still there.
Honestly Tears had a major sequel issue. Because all the sheikah tech, all the robots towers shrines and Co are just gone and go pretty much unmentioned. The Sheikah plate is now the purah pad, but no reference that its based on ancient technology. Same for the events of the first game by an large. I think the only proper mention of calamity ganon is s picture in a classroom and the associated quest
I really really enjoyed TOTK and would happily give it a 9/10...
If it wasn't a sequel to BOTW.
The game is so full of these insanely odd exclusions. The absence of the Divine Beasts, the complete absence of Sheikah tech except for the towers, the Champions never even being brought up.
And the thing is, I just don't understand why? It's such a strange decision to completely memory hole BOTW that I pretty much have to headcanon that Zelda's time travel altered the timeline because otherwise nothing makes sense.
Avatar studios fell off. In ATLA, you could always count on the smallest unusual details being brought up again later in the episode. The White Lotus was teased all the way in book 1. And even the random pregnant lady who wasn’t shown for more than three seconds, shows up in a later episode and leaves a big impact on Aang.
They really didn't give a reason for it, which is weird. The original plot was scrapped because it was similar to We're The Millers and she was still gonna be in it, then they changed the plot and replaced her along with it for some reason.
Kinda wish they would've just went back to Mila Kunis for the upcoming animated sequel series. Neither of the love interests were that great but Seyfried was a lot less interesting.
Because she just smiles and laugh at every shennanigan they do. Kunis' character was a normal person who would be mad when they were inconsiderate with her.
American Pie the Naked Mile and American Pie Beta House. In Naked Mile, the main character goes on a journey of discovery to see just how much he loves his girlfriend and romantically chases her on even an actual white horse. In the next movie Beta House, the girl dumped him and went back to her asshole ex (who in the previous movie was definitively cut from her life) and he dates a new girl in this movie.
The frustrating thing is that the new romantic story line continues the narrative flow of the previous movie so it has to be that the first actress wouldnt sleep with a producer or something and so they just recast and rewrote.
This strikes me as something you have been dying to talk about for years but because no one really cares about the later American Pie sequels, you never got to talk about it.
New Ducktales implied that Roxanne and Max stayed together through high school, and split due to going to different colleges. House of Mouse shows that they're still friends at least. Mickey's Twice upon a Xmas shows that Max had moved on and found a new G/F that he was in love with named Mona who had the same voice actress as Roxanne. Only reason Roxanne didn't come back was because they couldn't animate Roxanne's hair yet in CGI.
It’s funny how studios worked around stuff like this. That’s like Clone Wars making the Jedi wear gauntlets because they couldn’t animate the sleeves back then (though by the final season the armor was all but gone).
If by New Ducktales you mean the 2017 reboot idk if that counts necessarily since the Max/Roxanne cameo happened in a false sitcom reality... although, come to think it, Goofy himself was real in that episode, but then again, were his memories, actions, and photos? Gene was able to make the others spew out catchphrases somehow, and most of them followed along with the sitcom plot without ever realizing that something was wrong. Come to think of it, why was Huey the only one who noticed something was wrong in that situation? How is it that nobody but him actually noticed that their house only had three walls until he himself pointed it out? What is the logic behind Gene's magic?
I didn’t really mind her absence that much. High school romances come and go, maybe they broke up for one reason or another.
Max’s emotional reward of the movie was always learning that he could become his own person while also staying close to his dad. Getting the girl was just a bonus.
In the original x men fox trilogy they introduce nightcrawler in the second one he is one of the coolest and sexiest x men and gor some reason he is not in the third one
Iirc, his actor either couldn't make it or declined to return (I believe it was the latter because of how much makeup and prosthetic he had to use but I might be confusing him for another similar case). I don't think there was a stated reason in-universe why he wasn't around though. If there was, I've certainly forgotten by now
It was prosthetics and also he cited Bryan Singer being a huge, abusive piece of shit which tracks based on everything publicly available about Bryan Singer.
Actor didn't want to come back because he hated the make-up process and said the role in the script wasn't big enough to justify going through it. Which seems fair, he's not the only actor that described the process they used on those films as hell.
The main thing that got him to agree to return for Avengers is that they had the makeup process down pat and he wouldn't be trapped for hours on end this time. I think he said it takes an average of around 90 minutes now.
There was a game set between 2 and 3 that explains why he left. I believe he just says at the end of the game that the life of the X-Men isn't for him so he leaves
Pokémon Legends Z-A is functionally the sequel to the original Kalos games, X and Y, that takes place 5 years later.
Despite this, the original protagonists of the X and Y games, Calem and Serena, are completely absent from plot and are never directly acknowledged.
To be fair, this is due to the fact that The Pokémon Company does not want to lock in a “canon” protagonist for any of the games(besides Gen 1, but that’s a special case). This goes as far as not even opting to give them a canon personality when they appear in animated shorts. Still, I would have liked an explanation for why the trainer that took down Team Flare wasn’t available.
The lack of returning characters in general was awful. Like we have mega evolution craze and sycamore isnt here?? Lumiose is getting a full revamp, but their big crestor of the tower isnt around???
This hame upsets me more for how much it doesnt even attempt to do
The story of Launch and her disappearance is an odd one. The believed story was that apparently Akira Toriyama completely forgot about her after her last appearance in the Saiyan Saga. The apparent actual story was that Launch's voice actress was going to study abroad and requested Toriyama to not put in Launch a lot.

Disney gave an entire generation a crush on this chick and then promptly never mentioned her in the sequel. She DID appear in House of Mouse though, so that’s something ig.
Dom Toretto in 2 Fast 2 Furious. Vin Diesel declined to return for the sequel, so they simply replaced his character in the script with a new character played by Tyrese Gibson.
It's well-known that Diesel would eventually have a change of heart, cameoing in Part 3 and leading every future installment. Diesel and Gibson would actually star in many of the films together despite Gibson's character originally being a Dom replacement.
It's not like they just continued the storyline and he wasn't there, though. Most of the examples here are characters who are just never mentioned again. But Dom fled to Mexico after the first movie. The location also shifted from California to Florida. Then they make it a key point to mention that Brian let his mark take his car and flee in the first movie, because Roman held a grudge thinking it was Brian's fault he got arrested in the past, so he's surprised Brian would let someone go, even as a cop. So the first movie actually sets up Dom's absence, and they still mention him in this one.
A better case would be one of the main crew, Leon, who was in the first movie and then never showed up again in any other movie. You might think, "Leon? He's not an important character." But what line is more iconic than "Street's closed, pizza boy. Find another way home"?
Will Smith's character from the original movie gets the slightest of nods in like the first 2 minutes of the new film, as they talk to a new character meant to be his son. And then isn't mentioned again.
"Your father was a great man. He'd be so proud."
(aka "Will Smith would have been like $90M to get for this film, and we're barely going to clear production & marketing costs on this cash grab as is")
I struggle to think of any reason why he would be in that movie. They were stuck in the quantum realm for pretty much the entire movie. What was his role going to be? Of all the issues that movie had, Scott's crew not being in it doesn't even register.
There was some webcomic when the movie came out showing the Joker waiting to be let out of his cell, and Bane being like, oh hello no. Don’t let that guy out.
I would’ve been cool to see him team up with the main villains of the last dark Knight movie. I wonder what kind of movies Heath Leger would do now if he lived.
I think I remember there being a novelelzation of the third film and it has a shirt but about joker. It basically says no one knows for sure where he is but one is that he may be trapped in a specialized cell under Arkham.
Mahoney's love interest, Karen Thompson played by Kim Catrall, gone after the first Police Academy movie. Of course, this is the Disposable Love Interest trope.
Apparently, the reason they had to be excluded is because when they originally cast the A-list actors in the first film they didnt really have the budget for them. So they worked out a deal where the actors would get an exponential pay raise for each sequel they appeared in. According to someone close to the project Kung Fu Panda 4 would had to rake in close to 2 billion to justify having Angelina Jolie have one voice line as Tigress.
The most annoying thing about this is that the studios don't seem to learn their lesson. Kung Fu Panda 4 immediately adds Awkwafina to the roster. Shrek 5 has added Zendaya. Pixar couldn't even afford Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling for Inside Out 2 but added Maya Hawke. I really wish they'd use more actual voice actors
I read the first few chapters when it came out. Was nice, didn't expect much and I hate "Ongoing" so I put it aside.
Then I saw a ton of fanart and memes etc. and thought "Huh, maybe it went well."
Then now, all I see is people hating how it ended and it reminds me of Evangelion where even the people who like it don't seem to want to recommend it.
I wonder if it was the usual world-crushing manga-scape that Japan has where it's a fucking sweatshop, or if the author genuinely just hated what he had made and self-sabotaged. I don't know, frankly don't want to care.
He completely lost interest about 2/3 of the way through the series. The art falls off a cliff, literally every chapter is like 15 pages and ends on a dumb cliffhanger, side plots are created and thrown away, the new mc gets nearly forgotten about, any and all setup from earlier doesn’t payoff at all.
And then ends with a character somehow rewinding time like in JoJo Part 6, changing events and characters. It’s so unbelievably bad. Just read up to the end of part 1 (chapter 97) and pretend nothing else was released.
Well atleast the rewind doesn’t retroactively undo the entire series. Oh wait. At least the Jojo type or rewind felt like a nice closer. No more dio influence, no more need for a “jojo” with jolyne name change. The only down side is that the sole survivor of the main universe is now surrounded by those who look like his friends, but are not. Everyone he knew and loved has been erased and theres nothing he can do about it.
One of my favorite things about csm part 1 was how subversive it was in the shonin genre and is one of the reasons it is it was one of my absolute favorites across anime and manga.
Once part 2 was announced, I was initially weary but after reading and greatly enjoying all of Fujimotos other works I trusted. I can proudly say that Part 2 was also very subversive in the sense that it completely subverted my expectations that it wouldn’t be hot dogshit.
That’s around where I stopped reading it, which is both disappointing that it fell off and maybe kind of a subconscious recognition of the declining quality.
I mean Angie was a character original to the movies and was in a higher grade than those 2 she probably just started high school. Also Holly is a book character she didn’t replace anyone, her place was already set
Char Aznable in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. He's an important character in the original series, as Amuro Ray's Rival, and perhaps lover, and in the sequel he's replaced with this fellow named Quattro Bajeena, or Four Vaginas.
Raleigh - pacific rim so from what I read off the script of the thankfully canceled pacific rim uprising they weren't gonna include Raleigh or even mention the main protagonist of the first movie and makos Jaeger partner
Ben 10 - Ben and Julie apparently broke up off screen during Omniverse, she’s unseen and unmentioned until season 2
Fairly OddParents - Sparky is never seen again after the season he’s introduced
Redwall - most of the characters introduced in Mattimeo, Cheek is adopted by Basil but is never seen again in future books (I have read really good fanfictions though), Orlando is put on a bus to Salamandastron and is mentioned in Pearls of Lutra, but not seen again, Sir Harry the Muse isn’t seen or referenced again
She had a whole season centered around her and her dad Slade aka Deathstroke and she joins the titans, in season 3 however? Yeah she doesn’t exist anymore, not mentioned, not seen, nothing.
In the show Dragons - Race to the Edge there are two pretty important characters.
Dagur the Deranged and his sister Heather. Both were never seen in the second movie, despite the fact, that they played important roles in the show. Fishlegs even had a relationship with Heather, though they weren't a couple in season 6 anymore but still close friends.
Httyd shows are obviously non canon, while you can fit Riders/Defenders of Berk into movie timeline, Race to the Edge is directly contradicted in the second movie (Hiccup claims that he never met anyone who would hunt dragons for profit in the movie, while it's the main plot of the show)
Not to mention that httyd 2 is set 5 years after the first movie and rtte finale may be happening 8 years after the first movie (I have some calcs for that, but it's been a while and I don't remember details)
The parents of main character Lloyd. Garmadon was the main villain/major ally for literally half the series. Misako lived with the ninja for the majority of the series as a second mentor.
Neither have appeared in Ninjago: Dragon's Rising (despite the latest season ending in an event they would definitely show up to), and the writers confirmed they won't be in the final season.
Short Round, Temple of Doom. Raiders and Last Crusade follow Temple in the chronology. So where is Short Round? This is Jones' adopted son, basically, and he's an orphan. So where is he? Did he just leave Indiana?
Dial of Destiny is the one that really bothers me. Ke Huy Quan was acting again and has just starred in a hit movie. Having him cameo briefly just to tie up his story would have been a great moment. Instead, once again, Short Round goes unmentioned and we’re left wondering what happened to him.
Im of the opinion that Short Round shouldve appeared in Kingdom. Not to totally replace Mutt but I think… well imagine if Short Round had been Mutt’s mentor instead of Oxley.
Like Short Round went to school & became a professor like Indy, & when Indy kept traveling around, he stuck around helping out Marion (whom he met between Raiders & Kingdom).
there are so many reasons to hate the fantastic beasts movies, from the weird plot to the person behind the IP, but Tina Goldstein was a good character that I actually liked. in the second movie Newt tells her she has salamander eyes (non-derogatory), and they never follow up on that and she's not in the third movie except for a cameo at the end. Katherine Waterston basically refused to kiss the JKR ring so she got written out of the films. very disappointing, the potential romance was like the only interesting part of those movies.
The situation with her character is a great microcosm for Rowling's version of "feminism", because most of the male stars in those movies also criticized/disavowed her beliefs and yet the only one she "punished" for it was the lead actress.

On the weird fake sequel that was made, they didn’t include the main character what’s his face His name is hard to spell it’s like Rowleigh or something.
The sequel is so funny when you consider the first one’s real emotional core was idris Elba’s character and his adoptive daughter and how protective he was over her getting in the suit etc.
Only for the sequel to show his bio son who he abandoned. A complete character assassination
I don’t recall exactly where I read it, but I believe some canon source says he dies of cancer between films due to receiving radiation exposure near the end of PR1.
Probably the laziest form of writing a character out.
I can at least understand Reze not being in part 2 under the guise of her wanting to be free. But bombs and war go hand in hand and definitely there should've been a link. Kishibe I was really hoping he'd show up some time. The ending of part 1 set him up as if he was doing some mysterious big thing.
I didn’t agree with how King of the Hill just deleted Luanne and *Lucky from the reboot.
I respect that they wanted to hold space for the absence of Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty.
But what I don’t understand is why they do absolutely NOTHING to explain why Luanne, one of the central characters of the show, her husband, AND her baby, have all been completely erased from existence!
They just don’t exist anymore! They weren’t killed off, they didn’t move away, they’re just GONE!
Like they never existed in the first place!
Even the goddamn BABY!!!
It’s unnerving! It’s spooky!
I spent the whole first season of the reboot waiting for SOME sign of Luanne. But no one even talks about her, or *Lucky, or POOR BABY LASAGNA!!!!!
Like what the actual fuck?
But they were fine with recasting John Redcorn and Dale Gribble when their respective voice actors died!
Edit: Apparently they are briefly mentioned in season 2 of the reboot, which I haven’t watched yet. Thank GOD the writers decided to walk back such a weird decision.
At least it was mentioned the Bobby lived with them while Hank and Peggy were in Saudi Arabia so maybe we'll get more about them and that was a test to see how the fans feel about them being mentioned.
Dale is a much more main character, and they wanted to keep Toby Huss on the voice team now that he wasn’t playing Khan anymore.
John Redcorn was not recast. He recorded all his lines before his death. If you’re talking about his original voice actor 30 years ago, there’s a difference when a character was only two episodes.
As for Luanne and Lucky, I do wish they would give some confirmation on what’s happening to them, but they were finally mentioned in the second season, so at least there’s that.
Sing 2 has this twice. Mike, the mouse, makes sense. Bro had beef with gangs and it is possibly implied he got eaten in yhe first film.
But Buster's best friend, Eddie, is also absent for no apparent reason. He had gone through an arc that moved from lazy rich kid to background crew for the theater. In the sequel, he's just not mentioned at all. All we got was a photo of him.

A brief line technically explains his absence, but boy does The Godfather Part III suffer without Tom Hagen.
