To be fair, the Ender's game movie was in the works since the 90's if I'm correct so it wasn't really hopping on the bandwagon so much as the director's and producer's kept leaving and getting switched. That being said I still think it could have been waaaaaay better so they failed me there. And same with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she was kicking vampire's butts before Meyer ever even had an idea for Twilight, she didn't jump on the vampire trend, she started that thing (Okay, maybe Dracula did but shh!).

Other than that I completely agree with you.
