8!!The Franchise
9* DevelopmentHell: A reboot film has been in the works at Fox since 2010, with Breck Eisner, Creator/MatthewVaughn, and Julius Avery all having been tapped to direct at some point, only for them to leave for other pastures. In June 2019, Disney, who got the film rights as part of absorbing Fox, restarted production and made it an animated film, tapping Creator/TaikaWaititi to write and direct.
10* FollowTheLeader: The comic strip was only created to cash in on the popularity of ''ComicStrip/BuckRogers''. Thankfully, it never resorted to outright stealing any of ''Buck's'' storylines, and managed to carve out its own niche.
11* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12** Had King Features been able to purchase the rights to adapt ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'', we might have never gotten ''Flash Gordon.''
13** Creator/GeorgeLucas tried to get the rights to ''Flash Gordon'' to make his own movie. When blocked by [=Dino DeLaurentiis=], Lucas decided to [[StartMyOwn make his own]] [[Franchise/StarWars space adventure series]].
