Read more books instead of making one franchise your personality!

Your personality is so much an amalgamation of the last 100 long form media you've consumed. Make good choices, an English teacher that actually cared once told me books are important for what they make you think, not what they say. I still reread some of my old series like I'm visiting friends and refreshing core memories.

We choose who we are to a degree, are you a wizard cop that upholds the status quo (including slavery and racism) or a rebel with friends everywhere? Is winter coming or are you coming to the hanging tree?

What ideas and ideals have you internalized intentionally or unintentionally? How do you think the world works or who we're supposed to be been influenced by the movies you've seen, the news you read and watch?

See you later Space Cowboy, You're gonna carry that weight.

I didn't even see star wars

Something completely original means that it can not be existing IP.

The movie industry became slop way before LLMs were useful.

"Hot take, in the next 60-70 years, someone will create some original media"

Yes, that's one hot take indeed...

Harry Potter? Star Trek? Twilight? Hunger Games? Die Hard? Mission: Impossible? Toy Story?

WE'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR IT, FOR FUCKS SAKE.

so probably, yeah.

Game of Thrones basically already fits. The main book series might not finish, and the main TV show disappointed people, but the world GRRM built is spawning all sorts of spinoff stories. Who's to say what happens after he eventually dies and loses control over the franchise?

Dungeon Crawler Carl tv series kinda has that potential, but it's being produced by Peacock so probably not.

"A popular media franchise will start sometime in the next 60 years" is a 0 Kelvin take.

A lot of these replies show how confident people are in being out of touch. Out here acting like nothing good is getting made while only paying attention to the big franchise flicks with big advertising budget lol

It's like saying they don't make good music anymore when you only listen to top 40 radio on your 15-minute commute.

To answer the question in the OP: Yeah man, no duh. Things aren't popular forever and something always replaced it. There's dozens of franchiseable IPs out there right now.

Uhhhh have you guys missed the Avatar (the last airbender) franchise?!?

I want to see a popular movie franchise where nobody owns the ip and all the different studios contribute movies and shows, with little concern for continuity, I want anarchy
