Its why i get mad when people shriek REBOOT. All it takes is one decently constructed movie and its fine. Its one of the highest grossing franchises of all time, I'd hate to "lose" that history.
Also, time travel shenanigans can "easily" explain all the wonkiness that's in the last knight and the inconsistencies between movies. The timeline is in flux, yadda yadda, AND (if they wanted) we could come out of it with a new "universe" like Abram's first star trek movie.
Its not impossible, they just have to *want* to do it.
So if anybody is reading this...
The problem is those movies started off not great and got progressively worse as time went on. And that's just from the perspective of their quality as films and not even getting into the gross garbage that Michael Bay shoehorns into his flicks.
I'd rather they leave that stuff in the past.
