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?
Godzilla! (Japanese Godzilla. Minus One was like the 30-somethingth movie, and it was fan-frickin’-tastic!)
discworld stuff.
There’s not been enough of that filmed to get tired of it. Everything out’s been good to great, but there’s so much more there that’d work well on-screen.
Discworld has basically a perfect track record with me and it still hit franchise exhaustion. Never read a bad Discworld book and I love Pratchett, but at some point I just subconsciously decided that it was enough. Maybe one day it’ll wear off, but I’ve never felt a desire to finish the series even though I’m more likely to enjoy another Discworld book than a random new author/series.
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.
I get fatigued with the amount of Star Trek/Wars and LOTR social media content I have to sift through
Anything Tolkien I’ll still enjoy. Yes, even Rings Of Power. Lol
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.
Dragon ball, i hate where the franchise has been heading yet I’m intrigued to keep watching
The Fast and Furious franchise keeps delivering, I’m really looking forward to 11 and Hobbs and Shaw 2
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
