I watched Karate Kid Legends and good god I hope they don't do any more Karate Kid or Cobra Kai.
If nothing else, I like how directly The Matrix Resurrection lampshaded this. Thomas Anderson’s game company is forced into making a sequel to their Matrix trilogy by Warner Bros itself, and provides infinitely conflicting corporate views on being completely original and yet repeating the source material.
They couldn’t escape the sequel trap, but they could at least draw attention to it.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say South Park.
They're just terrible satire. Even when they have a clear target for their satire instead of making fun of everyone in the episode, they get the freaking message wrong a lot of the time.
Like the wall-mart episode. What's the big baddy? Is it the economies of scale, and that allowing massive companies that get every benefit from that scaling compete directly with mom and pop shops? No, it's the customers who like convenience and low prices!
They're just ... shit at their job most of the time. The first couple seasons are waaaay better because they're just stupid juvenile stories having fun for the most part. The more political they attempt to get, the worse their satire gets, and I'm someone who generally agrees with what they're attempting to make fun of. (with many glaring exceptions, like directly calling the act of cleaning up the environment and using green energy "gay", making fun of trans people, etc)
They're seriously just... bad satire that ultimately only succeeds in normalizing being rude to each other.
