Everything That Didn't Die in 2018

As the legendary country singer and part-time gambler Kenny Rogers once said, “You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.” Unfortunately, 2018 didn’t get the memo. From Jack on This Is Us to all those dead (but not really dead) Avengers, 2018 was a year of taking subjects/characters/franchises that should have died, resurrecting them, and then wringing them out until they drip their very last drop of life.

We’re a society that isn’t particularly pleased with what we have before us, so we look to the past to try and remember something we did like. But that’s kind of dangerous, too. So in the name of Kenny Rogers, let’s say goodbye to the notion of not knowing when to let things go and focus on the prospect of some fresh ideas in 2019. But for now, let’s remember the things that just wouldn’t die-one last time.
