Star Wars
("Honourable" mention: Star Trek fans. The blind nuTrek hate is something else.) Edit: The expected downvotes may as well be upvotes for purposes of this comment lol. See everyone? Case in point.
I love the idea of Star Wars, but every movie since Empire has been a toy advert.
I feel it only really gets a chance to shine when you pull out out of its comfort zone of the Skywalker family. Rogue One, Andor, most of The Mandalorian.
This. I couldn't give a shit about the skywalkers, I want old republic, I want the madalorian wars, I want the sith schism. Star wars is full of fucking amazing things, literally thousands of years worth of wild ride historical events, and we never get to see any of it. The first step to writing is looking at your work and asking, "is this the most interesting part of the story?" If it's not, why arent you telling that part?
