Sequelitis covers when a franchise declines in quality after a certain point. And the aspect of the fandom dismissing later entries, insisting they "don't count", is Fanon Discontinuity.

I've noticed that movie fans often claim their favorite franchises decline after the third movie often to the extent of dismissing later films. Notable examples include Star Wars, Toy Story, and Indiana Jones. This belief is also shared by Quibble Pants in the My Little Pony episode Stranger Than Fan Fiction, regarding the in-universe Daring Do book series.
