Looking back over all that has come and gone, the 'worst' thing is poppa Larson/ Universal wilful neglect of the franchises potential.
Not only sabotaging continuation attempts (and I am NOT just referring to the birth of TNS), but lacklustre DVD releases, failure to merchandise to the fan base etc etc.
If only they had been more liberal with the rights to the franchise much earlier, and if they didn't want to actually do anything with his creation, then they should have set it free and just taken the money.. They think it has worth but they can't find the key to unlock it, meanwhile the object of their obsession is suffering from their neglect.
Considering what the fanbase has done despite this indifference, think of what we could have had with the owners' blessings/assisstance!!
I know its not that simple.
Too many wasted opportunities, too many so near and yet so far projects.
(But it truly LIVES with the fans...
)
Cheers,
