    Despite what a subset of its fans say - Star Trek is still putting out decent content, on average. We get 10 episode seasons now and the majority of it is fun adventures and when it tries to do social commentary it never takes as hard line as it used to. But at least in the shorter seasons there’s less chance of a Threshold or a Subrosa. Maybe its just me but I could watch Lower Decks on rotation

      Lol I mean it’s literally just having a new addition to it and while many will say it’s being killed, the amount of content they have added so far in Rebirth has been insane. I have friends who will probably hate it, but it’s absolutely beautiful to me and a surprise at every step.

    Mario. Also Zelda

    It’s been milked endlessly but definitely not disrespected a la Sonic. You know when you pick up one of these you’re in for a good time. It’s the kind of reputation Nintendo knows it relies on.

    Makita. They put out a fucking tool for everything and when you’re looking at them you’re kinda like “that’s a bit stupid I can just put a bit extra effort in and do it with the tools I have” but then you see that tool that perfectly simplifies something you do and you’re like “ok I need this it make my life so easy” and it does.

      I suppose if you really like tools, Makita counts as an entertainment franchise.

        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.
