What's it trying to say? That there is no originality in the genre's? So what?
People are comforted in knowing the characters of films and being able to follow the story lines over multiple "episodes" in a longer tale. I think they're great and the studios make money so they can make more of a good thing. If it's a lousy story, the market will determine how many sequels it has.
