    So?

    Take a look at the numbers. There are way more today than ever before, full stop.

    You want to pull out the standouts, the few that did occur, is just a goalpost move trying to make it seem like it was as common as today, rather than the exception - which the numbers prove.

      Did you read your own sources? They absolutely contradict the point you just made.

      The number of sequels is the same as it’s ever been. Maybe even less.

      It’s just that sequels perform better at the box office and pull in more viewers.

      But there definitely aren’t more sequels according to the sources that you shared.

      You are moving the goal posts. You started with remember when mindless sequels weren’t a thing to there are more now …

      Sequels have always been a thing and always will be.
