The first book of the first Mistborn series - The Final Empire

The first few live action X-Men movies, before they started doing prequels and resets and whatnot? The first one may or may not have been the best, if only because its ending didn't lead to the third film. Seriously, if not for that, I'd have scrapped this mention since the first and second parts would have been equal.

Honorable mention, though, to the Karate Kid movies since the first part is a classic, the second part was fantastic, the third part was meh, the fourth was bad and worth ignoring, and the show that follows decades later is at least kinda good too. Seriously, I almost listed this as a favorite first part until I remembered how much I liked the second one.

I feel like some Doctor Who serials had great first (and best) parts, but varying (sometimes inferior) follow-ups. That said however, the 2005 series had a couple episode trilogies--the series 3 finale and one within Capaldi's final season--in which the first episode was clearly the best, the second part was still quite good, and the third was . . . it left me wanting.

I'm not counting series like Wild Arms or Zelda since those are mostly standalone titles within larger projects, rather than part of a story. Otherwise the first Wild Arms would be a favorite part 1 for me.
