    How about a bit different perspective?

    What long running franchise should be taking out of the hands of idiots and given to people who are actually talented and creative?

    The one exception is the MCU, that is definitely one that needs a break. I feel I’ve been watching the same movie over and over since the second Avengers.

    The worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars are so vast that there are tons of stories that could be told. It just needs to be in the hands of someone that is actually good at their job and not a profit crazy committee.

      Disney had an entire cannonical set of excellent stories to work with, but said ‘fuck it we’ll just do whatever crappy nostalgia bait JJ Abrams wants’… and we got a complete shit show.

      Andor actaully reminded me of a lot of the ‘legacy’ cannon stuff, which is why it was so popular/great. Dark Empire, Thrawn, Jedi Academy… just had so much better story going on.

        Which is a strange decision because Disney is at it’s best when picking good existing stories and doing a quality adaptation.
