If they are good I'll take em
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

You have no clue what the hell you're talking about.
It doesn't take a whole season to film a series. Most TV series are filmed in 3-4 months, often more than one episode per day. And that totally ignores the fact that a 1-hour day-time soap opera were filmed live on a daily basis for years on end.
I'm not exactly a fan, I didn't like the first one at all, but I don't see what the problem is.
Why does The Hobbit and The Hunger Games get a free pass?

Whoa! Why the harsh tone?
Where did I say that it usually take more than 3-4 months to film a TV show season? "it takes time to film a whole season of a TV show" Does it say; "It takes a whole year to film a TV show"? Shows with low production values and few takes and cuts take a very short to film, indeed, on the other side of the scale you have shows like Rome and Band of Brothers, some TV productions can take quite a long time. There is marketing, editing (for shows with high production values) and some advantageous times to launch a new season to consider, and it is quite common to stage tours where the stars go on Q&A sessions, press events with teasers and conversations aroudn the new season etc. In recent times it has also become an important source of income for many TV shows to sell as many DVD/Bluray's as possible, TV series boxed sets have exploded in Europe since 2005.
Not to mention the fact that the line between film actor and TV show actor has been almost entirely killed; there is a big chance that these actors won't be available for shoot most of the year (possibly making shooting two seasons in one year a tough task), and this is also why we're seeing it become more common to replace actors in TV series.
Again: I never stated that it takes a whole season to film one season of a TV show, I stated that it takes time, and with the above factors counted in; TV shows are usually an annual affair and the TV series format is thus better suited for such a setup.
Anyway; my whole point is that most modern movies are a poor format for annual installments, same as most modern games. The very nature of TV shows is meant for exactly this arrangement and interval, which, of course, makes them better suited for it. Calm down, you seem to be taking this very personally. I wouldn't want you to burst an artery.

Thanks for that incisive, considered and well constructed critique. So presumably you think the films would be just as successful as an annual franchise then? Ok... but I dont. Dont we call this milking in gaming and always say it will lead to reduced sales? |
You are fine with the poster spamming "horrible idea" without any further explanation so don't come after me for doing the same
I've made several points already. Go read them.
And no.
Milking in gaming is different. It's hard to come up with new gameplay ideas every year. The franchise is bound to get stale if released yearly. Because you will be playing the same game eventually. Developers need time to come up with a fresh sequel. Movies are not similar. You can't compare.
I think spider man movies can be successful if released yearly if they are well-made.

It's unlikely that Spider-Man will keep up annual releases for the next decade.

Because they have source material with a definite ending already written. Same thing with Harry Potter and Twilight. They're not making up their own stories, they're getting them from the 100s of pages of source material.

I don't really see how that changes anything. As long as it doesn't go on too long, they have every right to release one every year.

And The Hobbit, like LoTR, is filmed in one long unit and then edited into three films along with pick-up shoots. Entirely different way of making films.
