Mean or not, I'd say it's also accurate. They tried to use the IP to make money... by wringing the life out of it. There are so many Marvel/Star Wars movies/tv shows now you need a freaking spreadsheet to keep track.

Bingo, I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like I can't start in the middle and it's impossible to track back to the first story or there are just way too many so I just give up and don't watch any. They did that with Pirates of the Caribbean first... I blinked and there were 5 of them.

Still in luck, you are not yet in Hadoop domain :-)

Religions don't wring up other religions by making more media of other religions.
WTF does religion have to do with this? I have no idea what you're trying to say.
You don't wring anything by making more media. It is a ridiculous idea to think.
You absolutely can wring something out by making too much of it. There's a reason "superhero fatigue" is a thing.
