This is true, you can't watch the "franchise" all at once, however it's the concept of the franchise that draws people in. Look at Star Wars. If "A New Hope" was the only movie, Star Wars wouldn't be the same as the original trilogy.

The "Star Wars franchise" is what people are fascinated with. The same goes for Lord of the Rings.

You don't have to buy into the idea, since that's your choice, but you really should understand the idea so you can better understand where folks are coming from.

Peace...
