I'm tired of all these big tent "franchises" entirely.

Hey, filmmakers, authors, television producers, etc.: MAKE SOMETHING NEW FFS!

Star Wars has been fertile ground for writers for decades, though. For every movie or TV show there are half a dozen books. Hard to say no to that.

Easy for me to say "no", though, which is what I did ages ago. Maybe someday the public will get as bored as I got with seeing the same thing over and over again and will kill this franchise nonsense.

What's really the most annoying though, is listening to whiny "critics", like yourself, cry about how popular they are all the fucking time.
