As per a cleanup thread
, this has been cut.
Why are the Xmen comics here? Like most long running comic series it has its ups and downs but I don't think anyone considers it a franchise zombie ( no creativity and just being kept alive for money).
The NoMouth Nocturnal
Could an alternative name for the trope be "Franchise Fossil"? It sounds alliterative.

Only as a redirect IMO.

Plus, fossil implies it's dead, buried, and gone for so long it's turned into stone.
This is a living corpse, so fossil doesn't really work.

Does the Nostalgia Critic entry really belong here? It just seems like a complaint about Demo Reel & Spoony leaving TGWTG.
Sometimes life just sucks. You have to learn to take the good with the bad. Why should you expect anything different in the mediums?
It's super effective.
The Simpsons example seems really vague as to whether it applies or not. So far as I can tell, Matt would have no hand in cancelling or renewing the show, so you'd think he'd speak out if the show was on its last legs. Am I wrong about this?
It's super effective.
Is Power Rangers an example at all, considering that Saban actually regained the rights to the franchise, leading to Samurai?
This almost certainly not an example: far from wanting the series to end, James Wan and Leigh Whannell have stated they feel the story is unfinished and would be open to continuing the series. Please see the comment for editors at the end of the main text: this trope is where a series continues past what the creator intended. Wan/Whannell seem to have never stated they wanted it ended earlier.
The trope name and the quote sure aren't helping here — they are fun but seem to be misleading people.
- The Saw series has become the poster child of this trope. If your franchise extends four movies past the on-screen, canonized death of its titular, non-supernatural villain, who from that point on appears exclusively in flashbacks (or autopsies), it might just be a zombie. Hmmmmmm...
Silent Witness
I miss the old picture. :(
I sit on top of the fourth wall, facing he wrong direction.

Took out this line from the description:
- It should be noted that this is definitely one of those Subjective Tropes, as many people might still enjoy the supposed "zombie" games, episodes or issues. They can in fact still be quite good in their own right even if the creator has lost interest.
Is the Taylor Swift live album really an example? It was recorded 12 years before its release.
