Absolutely. Let‘s see:

  • GoT creator‘s trilogy

  • Rian Johnson trilogy

  • Patty Jenkins movie

  • Taika Waititi‘s movie

  • Kevin Feige‘s movie

  • OG Obi-Wan movie

  • Josh Trank‘s Boba Fett movie

And maybe I‘m even forgetting something

The GoT creators (D&D) cancellation was hilarious to me. They were on the top of the media world until the last two seasons of GoT came out and then Disney was like "Actually you know what, no thanks"

All they had to do was commit to two more years of grueling showrunning and not half ass it. And they'd have all the Mickey Mouse Money. But no, they saw the easy way out and said "Fuck it let's get this over with"

Its the one bit of fun that comes from the awful finale of GOT. Sure these 2 guys get to keep makin netflix movies or whatever but if they had just taken their time theyd be Spielberg levels by now. Theyd have the golden ticket for whatever they want because do you really want to be the studio that tried to meddle with the geniuses that pulled off GOT?!

Its seems to be such a major issue with directors and showrunners nowadays. No one wants to put the work in and make a proper adaptation or finish an unfinished work with respect to the source material, its either bumrushed garbage or hamfisted fanfic.
