Movie Battle Royale: Summer Franchise Edition

Which Summer Franchise of the 2000's is the Best of the Best?

Movie Battle Royale is back, but this time: Summer Franchise Edition. We wanted to talk about those franchises released in the 2000's that kept us going back to the theater for the next. The rules are limited: the franchise must have had at least 3 films release in the summer (May-August), they must have occurred within the 2000's, and the MCU films must be broken down (Captain America, Iron Man, Avengers, etc.). Will Mr. Potter survive the Apes? Can Spider-Man swing faster than Fast and the Furious can vroom-vroom? Will Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible be able to take on the Avengers?

Also on this week's episode: debating how to handle controversial films, reviews of Da Five Bloods, Artemis Fowl, The Family Tree, and The HO Teachable Minute.
