I know that, but if the direction they're going in is up, then they should use the previous work as a foundation, not a rubbish bin.

I see a lot of things adopt the "move on" mentality to the extreme when it comes to the universe or the mythos, but I say if the creators of these things want to "move on" so badly then the professional thing to do would be to use their new ideas in a different work and let their previous one end, but end with dignity. I've seen too many good stories warped and diluted over time by their creators' self-serving reliance on a resounding work as a spring board for the rest of their ideas when the stories should remain self-contained narratives with a specific set of themes and lessons with a beginning, middle and end; not beginnings, middles, sort-of-ends, maybe-the-ends, ends-part two, etc.

Sorry for rattling on, but from the curt nature of your response I didn't have many margins to narrow it down. (And besides, some of the things I mentioned above, like being canonized as a Saint, were partially jokes. don't patronize me, I didn't say I was hostile to change.)
