Except, it's the oposite of marketing.
These shows are getting cheaper every episode.
Star wars can no longer afford to make movies, and they even gad to resurrect clone wars for the 3rd time, since the audience is dropping that fast.
My sis is a huge LOTR fan, and she knew rings of power will be shit.
They tried this strategy, because Twitter bots will eat shit, but they had one attempt to switch their current audience for the new one, and after ~7 years, the old audience is dead, and the new one still ain't coming.
It is a slow process though, and old fans had decades of good faith saved up, so it looed for a moment, like it was working.
3 trilogy star wars movies were both the least objective datapoints possible, and also all the proof Hollywood idiots needed.
