I'm totally cool if the filmmakers are going to say "look, this movie is just one part of a long, complex series of movies, so don't expect us to explain everything or who everyone is". That's totally cool. I can run with that. But each movie in such a franchise still needs to tell a compelling and complete story.

This is a huge problem with many Netflix or 'bingeable' shows. Because they expect people to watch more than one, they really often forget to make each episode meaningful on its own and tell a complete story. Worse, you sometimes have a 2 hour story stretched out to 8 hours with tons of wheel spinning (Stranger Things Season 1, Luke Cage, and many others) in order to make the episode requirement.
