Nothing can avoid the passage of time. With such announcements as several new MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movies, an upcoming Lord of the Rings show, only five episodes of Rick and Morty being released in 2019, and The Simpsons still running, time has been called into question more and more lately. How long can something last before it ceases to be appealing? Before it loses what made it great in the first place? The animated show RWBY is currently on its seventh season, though its visionary died in 2015. Many argue that the hit anime, My Hero Academia, lost its luster after only first couple of seasons and has been reduced to a painfully generic shonen experience. Steven Universe has its newest season on the air right now despite some arguing that it should have ended long ago. Star Wars has released movie after movie since 2015, with a substantial decrease in quality and a great decrease in popularity. Disney itself seems quite content to consume franchise after franchise and abuse every one of them until there is no more money to be made. Endless sequelization is a disease resulting from a paradox. Consumers want as much of something as they can get, whilst also wanting the quality to remain the same. When a show like Gravity Falls or Hunter X Hunter ends on a terrific note, the audience is left sad and craving more. But when a beloved show like Avatar: The Last Airbender gets a sequel, it is berated to no end for being "worthless". What people need to understand is that shelling out money with the vain hope that maybe the next iteration will be "better" is entirely pointless. The creator in question doesn't need to make it better because they know you'll make them rich either way. So whenever the new Marvel movie comes out and you don't like it, remember that you payed for it. No complaints for the five episodes of Rick and Morty we got this year, because 30 episodes would've done just as much for the people behind the scenes. If fans want change they need to earn it. Because in the end, fans hold the power.
