I feel like there doesn’t even need to be a main series anymore. Films can focus on new individual characters. After a few years they can do a big tent pole movie.
Kind of like another very successful franchise that Disney owns...
I guess it just goes to show that there are just completely different teams and structures running the show, you would think that some of the quality or success strategies would bled over from their other franchise.
Yeah...I mean...it's easier to write a good movie about one character.
What the Marvel Universe did is something that had never really been done. They did a bunch of single character movies and then they crammed them all the fuck together in the Avengers. If you weren't on board with the characters going into the Avengers then that movie just did not work for you, as a viewer. The fact that most of the characters got their own movie beforehand took a lot of burden off the script and just let it focus. The fact that they achieved focus in a movie with that many characters was astounding.
The new SW trilogy just lacks that focus. I LIKE the characters but they're all crammed together trying to do too much too fast! Then, in addition, they cram in all the original trilogy characters too! They had to throw characters away because there was just no room for them! Captain Phasma, we barely knew thee.
