re: I finally watched Spiderman Homecoming

Do you know why Pokemon is still so successful with the same business model they've pumped out for over 20 years?

Nostalgia.

Older people who still play the games will keep playing them regardless. They honestly prefer the games to stay true to their origins.

Younger people are the new customers and that's where the money is. And Gamefreak, Nintendo, and the Pokemon Company all know it.

They will always market to the new customer base. Their existing customers aren't going anywhere.

Marvel and Disney are smart and do the exact same thing. They care a lot more about getting new viewers than they do about retaining the ones they have. Because that's where the money is. If you have watched all 17 (Thor Ragnarok is #17) of the MCU movies so far, you aren't gonna stop now. You're at least going to watch through the Thanos arc. After that, you may get off the train. But probably not.
