Comment on [Discussion] Do you have franchise fatigue? Or is there still a franchise that you enjoy seeing?

Jurassic Park was a good book and the original film was great. Just let it die, people.
I was done with everything Marvel after the 3rd Spiderman movie and 2nd Iron Man. Saw Endgame cuz of the memes, but will never watch another Marvel flick willingly again. Ditto for Star Wars after the latest trilogy.
Star Trek is dead for me midway through Discover; just kinda stopped caring. Ditto for anything Lord of The Rings or Wheel of Time. Got halfway into the new stuff and just tapped out.
Fargo and True Detective were good a couple of times but kinda don’t care.

Regarding the Marvel movies, I’ve slowly been working through them because I missed the bus when they were big and only saw a handful here and there (Doctor Strange, Guardians Vol 1 and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies, which are actually pretty good).
I made it past the first Avengers movies and I think they start getting better after Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, but oh my gosh if the majority of the movies up to and including the first Avengers aren’t incredibly mid at best. I think watching them after all of the hype as they were coming out loses some of the charm, and I have to give props to what they accomplished creating a Cinematic Universe. But they are just so whatever.
Just kind of rambling, but the whole MCU seems to be incredibly over-saturated and I would be amazed if they are able to continue to carry popularity even close to what they had leading up to Endgame.
