Just for sake of context I'm going to note the page linked to ^ is SerialEscalation.Live Action Films

Also many examples belong under Sequel Escalation, not Serial Escalation.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

I was looking through some cases of Bold Inflation when I stumbled across SerialEscalation.Live Action Films which is filled with unnecessary ALL CAPS, word cruft, over-the-top gushing, and at least one example that I'm pretty sure doesn't qualify (I'm pretty sure Avatar didn't serially escalate from anything). Is this the sort of thing we should do a cleanup for? I'd take a swing at it myself, but I'm not super familiar with a lot of these franchises.
Edited to clarify the page in question, instead of just a vague link.
