I think the reasoning for why they made it bad was because if they didn't the studio was gonna make a sequel anyway. So they took the studio up on the offer to come back with the intention of ruining it so they couldn't keep making sequels when they felt the series was done.
The studio might have made a Matrix sequel that failed to deliver on the cerebral appeal of the franchise, I really doubt that that the studio would have made a sequel that also failed to deliver on the action and choreography
Ressurections managed to fail on both, so for that reason alone I wish the studio had their shot. Plus "making it bad to ruin the franchise" is incredibly stupid. It's WB's IP so they are absolutely going to revisit even after Ressurections, except now with less care and way less chance of any significant inclusion by the original creators.
I understand their viewpoints, but WB owns the IP, and if their Resurrections sucked (which we will never know, now) people will see view 1-3 as definitive. Like how most people choose to ignore certain Halloween sequels. Which, ironically, Halloween Resurrection wasn’t as bad as the last Halloween movie. Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 still sucks, but that goes without saying (no hate if someone here enjoys it, you do you.)
