Why do most media franchises have something almost everyone seems to hate?

I know this could also be in "Books, Comics, and Other Literature", but I have to chose.

Why do most media franchises have at least something almost everyone seems to hate?

TMNT has the 1991 and 1993 films, Next Mutation, seasons 5-7 of the 4 Kids series, Dreamwave Comics (if it counts, ending after just seven issues) and the Platinum Dunes films (somehow it seems the Fred Wolf series has ended up in this category after the October 2009 Nickelodeon purchase. Maybe it began in a larger scale with the jokes about it in Turtles Forever).

Star Wars has the prequels (which I can't understand, I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I watched them and think they're well-done, so even the prequels, and especially the 2005 film was good and even the 1999 one was OK). I also think Star Wars did a good job inspring to other science fiction, both softer and harder, as well as science fantasy. The prequels explroed the interplanetary politics of the galaxy where Star Wars is set, maybe something for TMNT to take more inspirations from for Dimension X or the Theta Galaxy.

Batman has the late-1960's series (which defined Batman until the 1989 film). The Justice League probably has Superfriends (not sure).

Masters of the Universe has the 1987 live-action film. I don't think producing such a film was easy back in 1987, maybe unless you have the same budgets amounts of money and producers as with Star Wars.

Transformers has Michael Bay's films

Home Alone has everything past the 1990 and 1992 films.

This song could go on and one, but compare to music artists. Different fans like different songs (some liked Bee Gees and ABBA when they played pop, other liked when they played disco. Some like country music songs about man and woman relations like Tammy Wynette's Stand by Your Man, but I like Dolly Parton's catchy songs and her songs about her home in Tennessee, and some other too), and that's how I thought it was with media franchises before getting Internet access.
