Ummm, I don't think so. So using your logic all of Uwe Boll’s movies are worth making because they make money. Ummm, I don’t think so.

True Blood is based on a series of novels which number in the double digits, and a TV show tells a much more intricate story due to looser time constraints. A movie needs to be concise. It has to pack the most important bits into a couple hours and cut the fat. After a while, entire sequels begin to feel like fat. To be fair, it can happen in any medium. Soap operas suck for that reason. True Blood will start to suck if there's no reason to keep the story going for however long the show runs. Saw movies must still be making a profit. That says nothing of their merit, but in this industry dollars matter more. Simply put, if you don't like it, don't see it and don't talk about it (it just gives it more free press).

Comic books go on for years and years. Soap Operas don't end. So why do horror movie franchises have to? The Saw movies aren't the best movies ever, and by far, but I still watch them. It's just become a Halloween ritual for me. They're not scary movies, but they try, and it's just good fun. Yeah, that’s been my argument since the beginning (of the sequels).
