I wonder whether this kind of thing is intentional. If a media franchise tells a satisfying story, then you might just watch that movie and be done with it. But if they almost tell a satisfying story but leave you wanting more, then they stick in your mind and you'll come back. Like playing "shave and a haircut" without the "two bits".
I think it is an evolutioary process. usually they have half a dozen writers, each adds a cool plot, however they then remove all the rough edges of the other writers idea. So they just leave the beginning core of the idea, without it's logical conclusion... Hmm, I had never considered that might be intentional as a way to throw stuff at the wall and fill time though, that's a smart read.
