Fast and furious.
MCU has really run its course. They’ve jumped the shark
Fucking Grey's Anatomy. Idk if it really counts as a franchise though but it's on season 22 and hasn't been good in years. It needs to end. I keep waiting for an asteroid to hit the hospital because that's pretty much the only disaster that hasn't hit that hospital yet.
Grey's Anatomy has had a couple of spinoffs (Private Practice, Station 19) so I'd say it counts as a franchise.
All of them. How about some new shit for once?
Imagine that. Two or three seasons for a tv show always srem like the sweet spot. Same with movies. Terminator, great. Terminator 2, even better. Terminator 3 to wherever we are now, what the fuck even is this?
I think a lot of people watch long lasting tv shows out of habit, not because they are good or holding up. Bob's burger is the only exception i can think off, and maybe some other niche shows, if they are good they are good and if they have more to say, go ahead.
One of my favourite shows used to be community. I have the fondest memories watching it for the first time. Now every time i rewatch it i got reminded that only the first two seasons are really good, and then it just falls apart.
It's not a golden rule. A show can be bigger if the creator has a large enough vision for it, from the start. The problem is that it's not how the business works - if you try to make a long show you'll end up with a cancelled show instead.
I watched Karate Kid Legends and good god I hope they don't do any more Karate Kid or Cobra Kai.
Rupert Murdoch.
Five Nights at Freddy's has only been running for 11 years and is a corpse of its former self that seems to have been ironically put into a machine to make more money.
SpongeBob, Simpsons, Family, American Dad
I genuinely thought all of these stopped what the fuck
It will actually be a sad day when Fast and Furious eventually ends. No more Family jokes. No more wacky titles.
I've been watching the Fast and Furious movies since the first one. And I actually look forward to how ridiculous each one gets and how it's going to top the previous one. I know it's been time for it to end for awhile, but I will actually be kinda bummed when it does.
Can’t wait for “Fast & The Furious versus Frankenstein”
Fast infinity: fastest family 4: shaw's laundry, Hobbe's social contract - Istanbul Traffic Jam
Isekai title
Pokemon
Doctor Who.
It doesn’t need to end. It just needs new blood. For the last 20 years it’s been exclusively run by a group of people who all used to hang out in the same pub in the 90s.
Let’s have a year or two of someone young and talented shadowing RTD to learn all the ins and outs of producing such a difficult show, and then let them loose.
It needs new blood but keep RTD far away from it. He is garbage at both story and character. I think he is responsible for more that 2/3 of all the fart jokes in Doctor Who.
I think it needs to go back to serials. Give stories enough time to setup problems and them actually solve them. The Doctor just magics hits way out of problems these days.
Every. Single. Fucking. EA Sports franchise
They ought to be arrested for it, but players are somehow still buying it.
I remember when skate 3 was released. It was the biggest sports game of the year. It outsold even FIFA. BUUUUUUUT, fifa fans are so deranged that they spend like 2 Billions in micro transactions that EA obviously spend all their efforts into making more FIFA and no more skate. Except now Skate. Obviously, and we all know how shit this turned out.
Bond.
Half of the plot points from all the movies have been enacted, attempted or discussed in the first year of Trump's presidency by his cabinet, handlers, backers or string-pullers or funders. Fictional supervillains as entertainment are a distraction, dangerously so when the real thing is happening as we speak.
I love Star Trek dearly, I just don't think we're ever going to get a show that hits like TNG/VOY/DS9 (and even ENT/TOS) again - largely due to capitalism and the dramatic shortening of TV seasons. SNW is watchable and has some good bits in it, but it is forced to operate at a mile-a-minute pace, and either forced or poorly chosen by the showrunners to be Action Action Action about 90% of the time. I just need some breathing room!
That being said, Lower Decks and Prodigy both hit on a lot of what I love about Trek. Their cancellations (and the new ownership of Paramount, and Section 31, and SNW only getting 6 episodes for their last season) do not bring me any hope for the future.
SNW does have some great moments. I loved the "documentary" episode most specifically, because it was a neat spin on things that let them experiment a lot with the cinematography and documentary-style shots.
As the documentary was the real 'focus' of the episode, the plot of transporting the enslaved alien creature/ship was allowed to be a self-contained story like old-school trek used to be, and I really appreciated the reflection on the morality of what they do as a crew, and as Starfleet.
There was a lot of TNG's DNA in there, and I liked that.
Simpsons
You know what's crazy? The show has existed for my entire life (I'm 36), but I've only seen like 5 episodes ever. And the movie.
When I was around 6 or 7ish, i was just getting into stuff like that and had seen the show a couple times. Then my grandma saw some thing on the news or at church or something and ranted about the show so much, about how vulgar and terrible it was. So my mom decided I shouldn't be allowed to watch it. I was an obedient child, so I didn't watch it. Then my older friend introduced me to South Park a year or two later, and mom hadn't said anything about that show... I never really got interested in The Simpson again after that.
