As different as they can be, there is a lot of similarity between long-running film series and television in this way: Whatever drew viewers initially, it is the characters the audience loves best who keep bringing viewers back for sequels, transforming all long-runners into meditations on family with more than a hint of melodrama. See, for example, the Fast and the Furious series or any superhero franchise that makes it past 2 or 3 films (this is the driving idea behind all Marvel movies now).
