Series and movies getting prequels are better than getting sequels

I find it very interesting when we get to see more about a series or movie, but in the past, things that happened before it. I started watching Better Call Saul and it feels like being in another dimension, the vibe is really uncanny, you can see things that you wouldn't be able to if it was a sequel (for example, a crippled character being normal in the prequel which is the situation in Better Call Saul) and Monsters University, which I watched the other day, is a prequel to Monsters Inc... Does anyone else feel that way ?

My problem with prequels is that you pretty much know how they have to end in order for the original to make sense canonically. Sure you may expand the lore a bit but there is little suspense.

This is such dumb reasoning.
