Just thought about it with the latest announcement about a new Jurassic Park release.

The first one is a masterpiece, the sequels are debatable.

What do you think about this trend in the industry to juice the maximum out of every movie?

    They’re all trash imo. Zero creativity. Risk aversion. Just make something new. There’s tons of people with ideas yet they don’t use any of them

    In general, I don’t really have a fatigue for franchises. Though I’m growing more sensitive to the sorts of milking decisions studios etc will make to make money off of the franchise … and relatedly have a bit of a craving for stand alone films or stories.

    Watching Ahsoka right now and enjoying it and the way it sits on the franchise.

    Something I’m growing weary of is Star Trek. I’m rather tired of the obsession with prequels and the TOS era and really prefer they tried something new like in the TNG era. I’m not sure how many more times I can tolerate Kirk appearing in SNW.

    I’m still on the marvel train, but I was fascinated by the comics already and really love to be in a Marvel universe “from the start” I really don’t have fatigue there, they even cut release a series every month and I happily consume it, lol

    I get fatigued with the amount of Star Trek/Wars and LOTR social media content I have to sift through

    Yes, I do.

    I’ve grown to the point of exhaustion with Marvel where I wont choose to see anything new on my own. They still make things I enjoy, like Loki, but unless a friend asks me to see it I wont even consider it. This isn’t just a superhero or quality thing either. I will still at least consider something by DC even though it has had a far worse track record in terms of me enjoying their output (though it’s still at a significant disadvantage).

    Star Wars was a really early example for me starting to lose patience with franchises. As a kid, I devoured Star Wars content. I watched all the movies, read the EU, played the games, excitedly showed up to the theater for Episodes 1 & 2. But in the three years between 2 & 3 I was tired of it, and ended up seeing it after the movie came out on DVD because a friend put it on at their place. This is despite a very high success rate - I liked the EU stuff I was reading, I enjoyed Episode 1 (and to a lesser extent 2), I loved the games. Episode 3 did end up being a miss for me, but I think it might have been the first and it came after my exhaustion with the franchise.

    Almost finished watching all 20-odd James Bond movies. Fun but Not sure I’d watch any more. No interest in other franchises I used to like e.g. alien or Indiana jones.
