    Pathfinder really caught it's stride during 4th edition D&D. Everyone loathed 4th edition so Pathfinder's repackaged 3.5 D&D was popular. Wizards of the Coast eventually wised up and they actually worked with their fans as opposed to dictated terms to their fans. 5th edition, which I have yet to play but want to, is being hailed by OG D&D fans as the best edition yet.

    Kings of War kind of did the same thing when Age of Sigmar 1.0 came out. Kings of War basically recreated Warhammer 8th edition. However Games Workshop course corrected Age of Sigmar relatively quickly. At least compared to Wizards of the Coast.

    The new Star Trek series are generally unpopular with old school Trekkies, many of whom now say "The Orville is the truest Star Trek we have now." Same thing.

    I keep looking towards the horizon for a spiritual successor to Star Wars. A pulp action science fantasy story. MAYBE Guardians of the Galaxy would qualify, but that's a bit of stretch.

    I think the traditional movie theater is going to die out. Theaters were already struggling before the pandemic. The pandemic is going to accelerate the transition to mass streaming. This might be overly optimistic but I see a silver lining to the current pandemic is that big budget mega blockbusters will become less profitable.

    From the 60s into the 80s, lower budget movies were more the norm. Most movies faded into obscurity but a few diamonds in the rough became cult classics. Joker 2019 was basically a throwback to the 70s style of making movies. Less obvious throwbacks would be A Quiet Place and Get Out. Relatively low budget movies that made a lot of money. Instead of spending 500 million dollars to make one movie, studios should spend 500 million dollars to make 12 movies. Of those twelve movies, a third will probably flop, a third will break even and a third will make a lot of money.

    The taking a risk with a new story on a relatively low budget is a good way to spot new upcoming talents among directors and it's a good breeding ground for NEW media franchises which we (okay I) desperately want to see.
