Pokemon is getting to be like Land Before Time, Power Rangers, and shitty straight-to-video Disney Movie Sequels (not to mention the Disney tv cartoons based off movies).
Originally, each one of these were so so. Yes, even Power Rangers was ok, just not spectacular. The original Land before time was cute. But then they had to spawn spinoff after spinoff after spinoff. And all the spinoffs are shit.
The reason they do this is because the creators know the original was extremly popular and they want to cash in on the popularity. And they know kids will watch damn near anything. It doesn't matter if the plot is shitty, the dialog sucks, and the writers and animators did a half assed job, kids will still be glued to the tv no matter how bad it is.
It doesn't help that the parents don't turn off the TVs and toss the damn kids out the door and onto the playground. And that many of them spoil their kids by buying whatever the kids want.
Other examples about things that just won't end is Star Trek. Enterprise doesn't totally suck, but compared to the last series, it reeks. Doesn't help that Rick Berman's a fucking moron nowadays. (or maybe it's just the writers).
And Havana Nights? They should have never made a sequel. I watched part of Havana Nights (it's set in 1960's Cuba), but ran away when they started playing hip hop gangsta rap in the middle of it. There is no gangsta rap in the 60s, and by playing that stupid shit they fucked the entire movie for me.
If it doesn't have patrick Swayzee in it, it fucking sucks. :angry:
*burns a pile of Havana Nights nazi style*
