Sequels. Cinematic universes. Movie franchises. Call it what you want, but for avid cinephiles or casual moviegoers, this is the reality we have to live with now. What makes some movie franchises successful, and what makes others flaming bags of garbage?

THE GOOD: We swoon over the best installment of the DC Extended Universe so far, Wonder Woman: 

THE BAD (okay it's actually mediocre at worst, but that's less catchy): We ponder over Alien: Covenant, the 6th installment to Ridley Scott's Alien series:
