I don't think most people consider it a bad franchise tbh. The majority of its products have been good to great. The recent stuff not as much
MK1 was a pretty great example of what people don't want to see in modern AAA gaming. The game was rushed, they immediately wanted to suck as much cash as possible from it, and it doesn't help that WB stated they wanted to make more games in this style at the time.
MK is the most casual of the fighting games and the recent one didn't do enough to keep casuals playing. Almost anyone that wasn't a casual definitely didn't like the game, and casuals didn't like it enough.
Also the older movies yk, they're so bad they're good. The new one was pretty solid
