    1. @yodelerty Doin' good, despite a lack of coffee, whiskey, or any other of my usual chemicals. You?

        1. @yodelerty Ah...does it seem to you like franchises are living longer now than they did in the past?

          1. @patch How do you mean?

            1. @yodelerty It feels like movies and their tie-ins, TV shows, and toy lines came and went faster, say, 20 years ago, than they do today. Take Zelda, for example, or the Mario Brothers franchise, both of which have had good, long runs, or "The Lion King". I've never been to a toy store and not seen merchandise for that film on the shelves.

              1. @patch I dunno, I've seen a lot of merchandise for the Lion King and Mario.

                1. @yodelerty I really need to read more carefully. >_>

              2. @patch In any case, franchises like Looney Tunes are still ongoing, and I imagine that, just like Looney Tunes now, in 70 years a few key franchises from our modern times will still be going with merchandise and the like.

          2. @patch Not sure how to read this... Most of the longest-lasting franchises are from "the past."
