I think people overestimate how much the average creator can get from their work over time. They need to keep creating to maintain a livable income. Also, 28 years is a good number because it prevents mega corporations from stealing from small creators. Imagine if some novel series becomes a big hit, but Disney or Warner Brothers could just adapt it whenever they pleased without paying the author.






Alien and Aliens were different types of movies. Horror vs Action. That’s why Aliens works. It isn’t a rehash of the first.
T2 was similar to T1, but a change in dynamics like Aliens did. Sarah Connor was more in charge and knew what to do about Terminators by the sequel.
