Zelda

God of War
Deus Ex (pretty much dead already thanks to Square Enix doing a shit job)Very hot take indeed lol but Dark Souls has already ended.
Ah, my bad. Guess they’ll just churn out Elden slop for awhile.
Literally all long running franchises. There is a clear downward trajectory over the lifetime of franchises. It doesn’t have to start immediately, but goddamn if it’s not true for everything. Go out on top. Don’t go out floundering about the lower-middle (at best).
I’m going to go out on a limb and say South Park.
They’re just terrible satire. Even when they have a clear target for their satire instead of making fun of everyone in the episode, they get the freaking message wrong a lot of the time.
Like the wall-mart episode. What’s the big baddy? Is it the economies of scale, and that allowing massive companies that get every benefit from that scaling compete directly with mom and pop shops? No, it’s the customers who like convenience and low prices!
They’re just … shit at their job most of the time. The first couple seasons are waaaay better because they’re just stupid juvenile stories having fun for the most part. The more political they attempt to get, the worse their satire gets, and I’m someone who generally agrees with what they’re attempting to make fun of. (with many glaring exceptions, like directly calling the act of cleaning up the environment and using green energy “gay”, making fun of trans people, etc)
They’re seriously just… bad satire that ultimately only succeeds in normalizing being rude to each other.
Jurassic Park, the last like 5 have been the same rehashed ideas along with “big dinosaur how we kill it?”
I can’t agree more with this. Wtf are they thinking.
They are thinking that they have made billions of dollars, so why stop now?
Tomb raider.
Or, wait, capitalism. Damn that’s not a franchise, too bad.
MCU has really run its course. They’ve jumped the shark
Fast and furious.
Fucking Grey’s Anatomy. Idk if it really counts as a franchise though but it’s on season 22 and hasn’t been good in years. It needs to end. I keep waiting for an asteroid to hit the hospital because that’s pretty much the only disaster that hasn’t hit that hospital yet.
Grey’s Anatomy has had a couple of spinoffs (Private Practice, Station 19) so I’d say it counts as a franchise.
Rupert Murdoch.
All of them. How about some new shit for once?
Imagine that. Two or three seasons for a tv show always srem like the sweet spot. Same with movies. Terminator, great. Terminator 2, even better. Terminator 3 to wherever we are now, what the fuck even is this?
I think a lot of people watch long lasting tv shows out of habit, not because they are good or holding up. Bob’s burger is the only exception i can think off, and maybe some other niche shows, if they are good they are good and if they have more to say, go ahead.
One of my favourite shows used to be community. I have the fondest memories watching it for the first time. Now every time i rewatch it i got reminded that only the first two seasons are really good, and then it just falls apart.
What? No. Absolutely not. Fuck, imagine if TNG had only run 2 seasons. Any more terrible ideas?
It’s not a golden rule. A show can be bigger if the creator has a large enough vision for it, from the start. The problem is that it’s not how the business works - if you try to make a long show you’ll end up with a cancelled show instead.
Five Nights at Freddy’s has only been running for 11 years and is a corpse of its former self that seems to have been ironically put into a machine to make more money.
SpongeBob, Simpsons, Family, American Dad
I genuinely thought all of these stopped what the fuck
I watched Karate Kid Legends and good god I hope they don’t do any more Karate Kid or Cobra Kai.
It will actually be a sad day when Fast and Furious eventually ends. No more Family jokes. No more wacky titles.
I’ve been watching the Fast and Furious movies since the first one. And I actually look forward to how ridiculous each one gets and how it’s going to top the previous one. I know it’s been time for it to end for awhile, but I will actually be kinda bummed when it does.
Can’t wait for “Fast & The Furious versus Frankenstein”
Fast infinity: fastest family 4: shaw’s laundry, Hobbe’s social contract - Istanbul Traffic Jam
Isekai title
