Don't go putting words in my mouth, I said "Not like today".
Don't go being a sophist.
Also, (sorry for the second post), but did you actually read your sources? Cause I just did and they actually say that the number of needless sequels has either stayed the same or gone down since the 80s.
They are performing far better than they used to, but there are actually less of them now than ever.
I didn't put words in your mouth. I was quoting the post I originally replied to.
I said that he said needless sequels "weren't a thing."
(He actually said "needles" sequels, to actually be pedantic, but I think that was probably a typo)
