@skeetsmcgrew3282 I could name 5 videogame franchises. Look at Pokémon, it's the most profitable franchise of all time. It spanned multiple games, series, movies, card games, and who knows what else. It's still strong AF, even though the last game (Sword and Shield) was terrible. What kills franchises is companies and executives poor decision making, script writer, director, actor lack of talent, among multiple other factors. When they become big, they get sold to people whose only interest is money. And they proceed to milk those franchises dry. Of course that now that third rate politics seem to be trying to invade everything that's another thing to ruin it. Trying to suck a franchise dry of everything it has while pandering to deranged activists (also known as cultists) is not a good combination. And that kills franchises even faster. Some franchises are meant to end, that I totally agree, some others however do not. LOTR had a solid ending, Terminator kept itself open to new iterations. It was the bad quality of the end product that killed those franchises.
