Does anything get better with age?

George Lucas sure as hell didn't. I'll take the Terminator and Aliens James Cameron over the Avatar one any day of the week. Independents preferred the 08 Obama to the 09 model. The Matrix sequels... wait, what sequels?

Doctor Who actually did get better for a while, or at least didn't get obviously worse until the 80s when JNT took over. Good for it, but Doctor Who, unlike anything I've already listed, is a thing that thrives on change. Nobody knew it when they started it, but this was a show that, in retrospect, seems to have been meant to rotate out its entire production team and cast every 3-4 years.

Look at every band ever. They start small, their songwriting skills get better, they release their masterpiece, and then they sell out and suck.

Just sayin'.
