What are your thoughts on Hollywood running good movies in the ground with crappy sequels? For example, the Transformers franchise.
Money hungry corporations?

Actually do not even get me started on this subject. Rage.
I don't care for them
I'm going to be honest with you, I don't watch much "hollywood" movies, I'm about anime.
and I didn't enjoy really any of the transformer movies as much as I did the og cartoon.

First of all, it's not like Transformers are the pinnacle of filmmaking.
Whether it's the original animated film from 1985, which was produced solely to sell toys, or the first live-action entry in the newer franchise.
It's all popcorn-selling, heavily stylized action fare, with very little real substance.. which is what general audiences like.
And that's the rub.
You're blaming "Hollywood". Hollywood makes ALL the movies, indiscriminately...good or bad...because that's what goes on there.
If you want to blame someone, blame general audiences.
They're the ones giving those films literally billions of dollars, which is what allows sequels to be made.
Studios are businesses, and businesses like making money...so if the general audiences show they're willing to pay the money...the sequels and spin offs are going to keep coming.

Transformers was never that good in the first place. Beast Wars was where it was at!
Hollywood has run out of ideas long ago. The creativity is gone, which there's no excuse for. Y'all have brains right? Think of something. Think of a new idea that you can then milk and run into the ground lol.
idk
We need more hot men in the transformer franchise more. Cooler cars more cool locations
Lol that sucks but some sequels are good such as bad boys for life
People keep watching, so ...
