They should learn from Star Trek and read up on what franchise fatigue is. Besides the issue of social justice injected into the franchise of course. |
It's not really fatigue, though. Look at Marvel. They are putting out 3 movies a year, now, yet it doesn't hurt them. No, the problem is that TLJ divided half the audience. Some liked it. But, a lot also either thought it was meh or they actually hated it. The latter crowd had no desire to watch it a 2nd or 3rd time, leading to a big drop from the expected $750M+ DBO and $1.7B+ WW take.
There are a myriad of reasons people disliked it. Mainly because of how they treated the characters/lore and how the story really amounted to nothing. The main plot is a 8 hr snail race, which creates so many holes in logic its mind-boggling. But, yea, the on the nose SJW messages were annoying to many, even those on the left. Really an amateurish way to handle those messages. Not to mention they have no right being in this franchise, which is meant for those of all ages and political leanings.
