Why endless spin-offs are ruining franchises: when more content actually makes the stories worse
from View From The Pugh · host Chris Pugh
Are endless spin-offs and reboots killing the magic of our favorite movie and TV franchises? In this video, I look at how overexpanding universes can water down characters, create weak stories, and turn once-great series into content factories. From fatigue to falling quality, we’ll talk about why “more” isn’t always better — and what fans really want.
