Has anyone else kind of "peaked" in terms of what you want from TV/movies?

I was just thinking about this the other day how anything I want out of a TV or movie series has either already happened, or was done badly to the point where I don't need to see a continuation.

All the franchises I've followed since I was a kid, like Ninja Turtles, Batman, DC and Marvel superheroes like Superman, X-men, Spider-Man etc, Star Wars, Star Trek, Simpsons and Futurama, various anime like Dragonball Z, Pokemon, movie franchises like Terminator, Jurassic Park, Alien, Ghostbusters, etc....have either all already come back with sequels, reboots, prequels or remakes...and I feel like I've gotten everything I want out of them.

Occasionally I get into new shows, like Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul obviously didn't exist when I was a kid, but then once those shows end I am content.

We've gotten to the point where we have Obi-wan, Boba Fett and Darth Maul actually coming back in canon. A Star Trek series set post-Nemesis. TMNT has had two series like IDW and Nick 2012 cartoon that mixed Mirage characters with Fred Wolf/Playmates characters like people speculated or wanted back when the 4kids series was airing. We have had multiple Batman and Spider-man movie reboots. Futurama already came back from the dead more than once. A Dragonball Super sequel series with Toriyama at the helm which I never in a million years thought would happen after GT bombed.

It's basically gotten to the point where I feel like anything I wanted...has already happened. Or it got botched to the point where I'm content to just move on. Anyone else feel this way?
