Dozens and hundreds of products by different creators using someone else's original idea is not really my cup of tea. I just get bored.

Star Wars ended for me with the third movie (the real third movie, not the renumbered (fake) third movie) when the ewoks showed up. My brain had already rebelled at the premise that every random character (in a galaxy of billions) were seemingly related.
I also agree on novels based on movies. There never seems to be much to them.
