Because the new (read - old) profit model is making a shitty product and promising the next iteration, sequel, or remake will be the good one.
Star Wars is a great example. Why make a good one when a bad one breaks box office records? You get a fan base dedicated to seeing a good installment of their franchise and they'll fill seats even knowing it'll be bad. Why make a good product and sate their hunger when you can turn it into an addiction?
"media devotionism" is pretty dumb. Why should I care what the official studio does? If I like star wars I would just make fanfiction about it. With how things are progressing, I might be able to make my own star wars variant from the comfort of my home PC
btw this is just an example, I've never seen star wars
m night shyamalan already made an avatar adaptation. Not sure why we need this one
