They should have retired both Lethal Weapon and Mad Max without Gibson IMO.

The Terminator has been done to death just in the last 10 years. Let it go already. Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs are going to play out the same formula forever (which ends with the T-Rex winning). They've had their time on their island, now let them be. James Bond. Yeah, I said it. I haven't bothered to watch Jurassic World and I've seen all the previous films. One reason being that I doubt little new is being done with the whole thing about a park with dinosaurs in it. How many times can you do the whole "dinos chasing humans" thing before it becomes tiresome and formulaic? Jurassic World was actually the second best movie.

With Hugh Jackman retiring Wolverine with "Logan" (at least until the inevitable prequel, sequel, reboot, remake, whatever), what are some other popular characters that should be put out to pasture?
Examples:
Indiana Jones The Terminator John McClaine
Characters that should RETIRE and FORCE Hollywood to come up with more creative new roles (e.g. John Wick) 1. James Bond. (As much as I love the character, we need an updated and newer story. Pave the way for new characters/stories) 2. Batman (I love Batman, but it's time to let other characters shine.) 3. Indiana Jones (I don't want to see a remake with a new actor. He is Harrison Ford. Lets create new and innovative characters for film and stop rehashing old popular ones) 4. STAR WARS (I'm sorry, but let that franchise die after episode IX). 5. Jason Bourne 6. Mission Impossible Franchise. 7. The Terminator (Franchise is outdated and not significant to today, it worked in a time when technology was on the rise, but most people were in fear of it's capabilities. Now, we live in a tech world, people embrace it, they don't fear it. So the basic principles in which the franchise was based upon don't work today.) 8. John McClaine. 9. Rocky. (I say either let "Creed" be the finale to the entire franchise, or have Rocky lead him to the title and die in the next/last one). 10. Rambo. Let it go. The Fourth one was good for closure, he finally goes home. 11. Godzilla 12. King Kong (Godzilla and Kong were invented in a time when there were still uncharted islands and places to discover. So the 'wonder' of 'what could be out there?" was fun. Space is the final frontier, not Kong and Godzilla on a strange Island or under the sea). My point is, we need new characters, we need new franchises. 1999 had "the matrix" and this generation had John Wick, you have "The Hunger Games" and wot not. However, then you also have REMAKES, REBOOTS, RETELLINGs, etc... Agree about John Mcclane, Bourne ( it bores me to tears), Rambo or Rocky should never exist without Sly, nor Indy without Harrison Ford.
But I really really dislike John Wick, I wish he would be retired also

Everybody in Fast and Furious franchise. Just stop. I love "The Fast and the Furious" My wife and I went on a date to see the original before we were engaged and eventually married. I know, strange first date film. However, she loves action films (good for me). Anyway, so this franchise holds some sentimental value to me, but even I think "Furious 7" should have been the end. Perfect ending.

They should have retired both Lethal Weapon and Mad Max without Gibson IMO. And then we would have missed one of the greatest action movies ever made. No, thank you.

That wouldn't exactly be a major accomplishment given the competition in the franchise.

Spider-Man
I love Spidey, but all of this exposure is turning me off the character. How many times is it necessary to see almost frame by frame re-tellings of the tragic passing of Uncle Ben.

But I thought Ripley had died in the third Alien film. Sigourney has said that the supposed next Alien film from the director of "District 9" will give a proper send-off to Ripley or something like that. To be honest, I don't see who you can do any better than to do what Ripley did in Alien 3. I mean self-sacrifice to save humanity from the Alien can't exactly be topped. Exactly! Ripley's sacrifice in the third film was fitting, badass, and emotional at the same time. There's no need to redo it. Leave it the way it is.

Can I add the new ghostbusters to that list?

Sadly, Indiana Jones. I'm sick to death of all the Batman and Spiderman reboots. Think of something else already. Has anyone else seen the youtube videos of the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011? Real life is a lot scarier than movies.

John Rambo - I am sure there will be many similar characters for a long time to come. But Rambo himself has had his day. Jason Bourne - Never excited me. James Bond - The Cold War is long over, spying would be more by hacking now than sending spies out to fuck information out of the enemy. Jay & Silent Bob - Men approaching 50 who have no clue are just not funny. Rocky - I'm a fan but I would prefer to remember the charcaters glory days then see him in a nursing home or coffin. Batman - just so many renditions over the past 30 years.
