I think he meant having Maul back in the prequel trilogy after TPM, as not everyone knows Maul from Clone Wars/Rebels.
and also most folks don't watch those shows, Consider them more for kids

smh....not fooling me
A recent one that I just bumped up: Triple 9. So much left on the table.
Lots of good picks in here already, though I don't agree with MoS. Other than his father dying for no reason and Supes helping to lay waste to the city he just saved--wow--it was an incredible film. Why they didn't do a sequel to introduce more characters and to give Batman a real reason to come after him I don't know.
All the X-men films before First Class. They were okay, but none of them were as great as they could have been for various reasons.
The entire SW prequel trilogy. The Hobbit trilogy as well.
Freddy vs Jason
What should have been a epic movie of 2 Horror iconic villains that both started in the 80s both fighting instead the damn fight is a very low amount which is extremely dumb because it's freakin called Freddy vs Jason.
Also extremely dumb Jason is afraid of water if I recall right not in the dream world. Do the writers pay any damn attention to the Friday the 13th movies because Jason after becoming the large murderer isn't afraid of the water. Clearly shown because He swam to get on a boat and to NYC in a terrible sequel, etc.
Add in also extremely dumb it ends on a damn cliffhanger so it's obvious a stalemate which us intentionally done because either they couldn't think of a logical conclusion for a winner, or they could but didn't want to piss off 1 group of fans.
So instead most of what is shown isn't Jason fighting Freddy instead the lives of teenagers, Freddy gaining power so he can terrorize, Jason killing persons plus manipulated by Freddy, etc.
Batman vs Superman. I loved:
The philosophical battle of God forced to obey man vs man able to act like God
Supes vs Bats
Team vs Doomsday
Lex Luthor blowing up the Senate, forcing the BVS fight, and creating Doomsday to fight Supes
I hated:
The disjointed narrative
No scene of the inciting incident of African kid being killed by collateral damage
Forced world building including pointless Batman dream sequence and Flash cameo (and technically the JL cameo, which wouldn't have been pointless of Batman rather than WE saw it)
Lex Luthors lame ass ending scene with the Dings
Lex Luthor sending a jar of piss as a prelude to a terrorist attack
Lex Luthor creating Doomsday with no logical reasoning
Good potential wasted

BvS is the epitome of wasted potential.
On a side note, really hoping Ghost in the Shell doesn't join this thread in a week.

Haven't seen Triple 9, but agree with everything else.

Take a philosophy course and you might realize how hilariously stupid Lex's forced philosophy was my son.
"Dude God can't be both all good and all powerful because of evil, therefore Superman is bad."
"But Superman isn't actually God, he's not responsible for evil."
I'm smarter than Lex Luthor.
"Dude but Lex is the villain and he's insane cause his daddy was mean to him, and he blames Superman for it."
Whew lad, Luthor was stupid in that film.
Maybe you aren't actually familiar with comic books, but the "philosophical battle of a god forced to obey man vs. a man able to act like a god" is done much better in the actual comic books.
Read Lex Luthor: Man of Steel for a much more intelligent take on the characters (particularly of Luthor) and of their conflict.
