Despite what a subset of its fans say - Star Trek is still putting out decent content, on average. We get 10 episode seasons now and the majority of it is fun adventures and when it tries to do social commentary it never takes as hard line as it used to. But at least in the shorter seasons there’s less chance of a Threshold or a Subrosa. Maybe its just me but I could watch Lower Decks on rotation
Lower Decks is the best, and most faithful, Trek since TOS.
Fight me.
Yeah that sunset is small.
Strange New Worlds has been pretty damn good and a return to form. Though you could say Season 2 went a little too hard with all the genre swapping per episode. I hope they tone it down and do a bit more of the anomaly of the week kind of thing in season 3
Does lego count?
Mario. Also Zelda
It’s been milked endlessly but definitely not disrespected a la Sonic. You know when you pick up one of these you’re in for a good time. It’s the kind of reputation Nintendo knows it relies on.
- Marvel but it’s waning
- Grand Theft Auto
- South Park
- Cheers / Frasier saga
Marvel has put out anything good in the past 5 years?
Guardians 3 was good.
Mostly because they weren’t trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.
On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.
Shang-Chi wasn’t a bad movie… Not one I’m likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie…
Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don’t have a full plan for what’s next.
They’ve lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.
