If you want a series that completely broke itself: Puppet Master, first movie was a slow burn thriller/horror, then it got progressively more insane until it's jumping the shark moment was turning the puppets into nazi-killing creations of a Jewish wizard, then promptly hung itself by making the next movie a clip show of the previous 5 films. Now it got rebooted and apparently it had no idea what it wanted to be and is boring as hell.
ACTUALLY, my reason of that ranting/vent post was caused by the weirdly “joyful” reception the latest Puppet Master got from a part of the horror fandom, like, I not sure if the shark jump moment you are mentioning is the 3rd one or the 7nd, I personally find the 3rd one as the moment peak of the franchise, it has a good story, a really great atmosphere, found a way of keeping the puppets on camera constantly but still giving us bloody murders here and there, and as good guys you aren’t constantly berating the heroes to use their natural instict to kick the dolls down, is a good movie and i feel it should have tried following that path…….but in a better written way of course
also, if complety broken down franchises we are talking about, hellraiser takes the money man, I mean, hellworld, seriously?? REVELATIONS?! THESE GUYS LET A SMUCK HIJACK THEIR OWN FRANCHISE ON JUDGMENT AND DID NOTHING AGAISNT IT!
