those are franchises older than tv, not only streaming, so i doubt it'll stop, The Walking Dead on the other hand... also they're rebooting Breaking Bad, soooo there's that

I love Star Trek dearly, I just don't think we're ever going to get a show that hits like TNG/VOY/DS9 (and even ENT/TOS) again - largely due to capitalism and the dramatic shortening of TV seasons. SNW is watchable and has some good bits in it, but it is forced to operate at a mile-a-minute pace, and either forced or poorly chosen by the showrunners to be Action Action Action about 90% of the time. I just need some breathing room!

That being said, Lower Decks and Prodigy both hit on a lot of what I love about Trek. Their cancellations (and the new ownership of Paramount, and Section 31, and SNW only getting 6 episodes for their last season) do not bring me any hope for the future.

All of them. How about some new shit for once?

Fast and furious.

McDonalds.

Saw

Simpsons

Five Nights at Freddy's has only been running for 11 years and is a corpse of its former self that seems to have been ironically put into a machine to make more money.

Call of Duty and Pokémon.

Bond.

Half of the plot points from all the movies have been enacted, attempted or discussed in the first year of Trump's presidency by his cabinet, handlers, backers or string-pullers or funders. Fictional supervillains as entertainment are a distraction, dangerously so when the real thing is happening as we speak.

Doctor Who.

One Piece. Never watched it because having to watch a thousand episodes just to catch up is simply not possible for me.

Tomb raider.

Or, wait, capitalism. Damn that's not a franchise, too bad.

All of them.

My most radical opinion is that every story ever created should be made to end. And continuing any story past a well-made ending is a crime against storytelling.

We should have a law where sequelising a story that already reached a satisfying end incurs fines that quickly escalate into insane amounts of money. Redirect that dosh into funding actual original art.

One Piece. I was interested in it (the manga), but it's way too long.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say South Park.

They're just terrible satire. Even when they have a clear target for their satire instead of making fun of everyone in the episode, they get the freaking message wrong a lot of the time.

Like the wall-mart episode. What's the big baddy? Is it the economies of scale, and that allowing massive companies that get every benefit from that scaling compete directly with mom and pop shops? No, it's the customers who like convenience and low prices!

They're just ... shit at their job most of the time. The first couple seasons are waaaay better because they're just stupid juvenile stories having fun for the most part. The more political they attempt to get, the worse their satire gets, and I'm someone who generally agrees with what they're attempting to make fun of. (with many glaring exceptions, like directly calling the act of cleaning up the environment and using green energy "gay", making fun of trans people, etc)

They're seriously just... bad satire that ultimately only succeeds in normalizing being rude to each other.

I remember watching Detective Conan in the Mandarin dub as a kid. Don't remember much of it now. I looked it up recently, and apparantly it has been running since the 1990s? Still ongoing... yea I don't trust anything that runs for that long, probably quality of the story went downhill if I had to guess. I have no idea how it's even possible to run a concept for 2 decades+ without it eventually getting repetative and boring. I was curious about what the ending would be, but it never ends.

Don't wanna watch something that goes on forever.

It will actually be a sad day when Fast and Furious eventually ends. No more Family jokes. No more wacky titles.
