Big-name franchises get butchered for fundamentally failing to understand their own audience

Most franchise-driven movies, whether they’re sequels, prequels, reboots, or anything in between, are always typically loaded with fan service to appeal to longtime aficionados of the property in question. Naturally, that same core demographic tends to get mighty pissed off when the creative team butchers something they hold so dear, even though they claim to be aiming it directly at them.

It’s a bizarre phenomenon that’s really taken off in the social media era, where even the most bulletproof of properties have seen their veneers shattered – with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Four and the Star Wars sequel trilogy two of the most prominent examples.
