Logic doesn't really fit in here since logic dictates
all of the parts of a franchise need to be "good" for the franchise to be considered "good".
I think this is more of a matter of personal preference and expectation. When we're given something great, we want that greatness to be sustained. This is true in many aspects of our lives.
Look at the pro team that wins two championships back-to-back. The expectation is for them to keep winning championships for that team to keep it's "incredible" status, at least until they make history.
Look at the guy on Jeopardy who won 1-2 (if not more) million dollars. He damn neared lived on the set, he was on the show for so long. People expected him to maintain that momentum and when that momentum can't be maintained, people feel disappointed.
The accomplishment will still be respected but it just won't be the same. With regard to the bad sequels, the original work will still be acknowledged as being good even though the franchise might not be.
Peace...
