What's a entertainment franchise (movies, games, etc) that has been milked but still puts out good products? (sh.itjust.works)

              Marvel but it's waning
Grand Theft Auto
South Park
Cheers / Frasier saga

Claiming that the modern Frasier reboot has anything to do with Cheers is nothing short of blasphemy.

It's barely have anything to do with classic Frasier.

They're doing their best! It's not great, but it's their best!

Rebooting a franchise successfully needs a lot more thought than what they put into new Frasier.

I used to be a marvel nerd but now they suck and only a handful of projects after end game was good.

Marvel has put out anything good in the past 5 years?

Guardians 3 was good.

Mostly because they weren't trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.

On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.

Shang-Chi wasn't a bad movie... Not one I'm likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie...

Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don't have a full plan for what's next.

They've lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.

I absolutely detest the Flanderization of Drax and Thor. I appreciate moments of comedy, but I didn’t come to watch Abbot and Costello.
