I think there is a hollywood trap right now, investors want safe returns, so big franchise names have been thought to be the safest return you can invest in.
A creative wants to make a story they can call their own.
Rock meets Hard Place, so the creatives - in order to get funding to create - co-opt existing franchises in their pitch, and if it gets accepted, they want to tear down the previous lore so they can make it their own.
So we end up in a loop where franchisees often get abused in the new creative works.
