Line 8:
Occasionally a few Franchise Killers over too short a period (or one ''really'' bad one) [[Genre Killer|can put a whole genre out of favour for a while]]. Even the executives could tell when it's time to stop [[Follow the Leader|following the leader]].
 
Note that sometimes the franchise turns out to be [[Not Quite Dead]], and can be salvaged with a [[Continuity Reboot]]. If the franchise experiences what ''should'' have been a '''Franchise Killer''' but carries on regardless, it's a [[Franchise Zombie]]. Occasionally it's a [[Stillborn Franchise]], an all-new product for which plans for sequels were made and then scrapped when it was discovered that the product was crap, or so [[Hype Backlash|hyped up]] that the creators have unrealistic expectations of its success. Or it just didn't profit enough, even though it was a [[Cult Classic]]. If the Franchise that was killed also happened right as the creators were setting up for a new installment to the series, it will overlap with [[Woody'sCut Finest HourShort]].
