    What’s the difference between Hollywood’s superhero franchises and a cow?

    You stop milking a cow after ten years

      Yeah so the reason you stop is because the cow’s milk production lowers with time so you’re better getting rid of it and getting another cow, it’s not out of kindness.

        Though I think the “get another cow” in this analogy would be finding a new franchise to milk. Which knowing how Star Wars is turning out…yeah…

          And the thing is, Disney isn’t limited by space or resources, they can milk as many cows as they want for as long as they want.

          The thing about this cow is there is just so much to milk. So many characters and environments. So much source material. And even an in-universe explanation for inconsistencies, much as I hate the multiverse bullshit
