Rocky ended at Rocky. Even Rocky 2, the second best movie if you're judging its qualities with the same ruler Rocky's measured, feels off compared to the original. Rocky is a love story/character study with a little bit of boxing at the beginning and at the end, whilst the rest are boxing movies primarily/solely.

Also, while everyone knows Terminator ended with T2, did you know Kung Fu Panda also ended with KFP2? ๐Ÿ™

Rocky is so all over the place. You make great points and I donโ€™t disagree. Another metric is how watchable they are and by that standard you could argue it makes it up to and including Rocky IV. I donโ€™t even know what to do with the newer ones.
