[Discussion] Do you have franchise fatigue? Or is there still a franchise that you enjoy seeing? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

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.
