“The relentless pursuit of franchise building over standalone storytelling. It seems like every new film has to be the launching pad for a sequel, a spin off, or a multi movie arc, which chips away at the integrity of the story.”

This forward looking approach often leaves the audience with more teasers for future content than a well crafted, self-contained story that resonates on its own merit.”
