The problem with that is that when people ask for original series, and that original series gets popular, they're going to want sequels to that original series. Eventually, that series will become 'just another series' and people will want something original that isn't that series while the 'we want new, innovative ideas' group diminishes with a new idea to throw allegiance to in absolute blindness.
Really, I can't say I'm mad at certain series for having sequels. If Metal Gear Solid 2 didn't have a sequel, I would certainly hate Hideo Kojima for ending on... uh... the ending of Metal Gear Solid 2... how am I supposed to describe that? Riiight...
I understand that some series either overstay their welcome (Halo), live and die by sequels (Final Fantasy), or are just in such demand that sequels are nearly required (half of Nintendo's big names). Sometimes series need sequels, sometimes we need original ideas. I find that there's no real reason to complain; if you like something, and it has a sequel, that's cool. If you don't like something, you can bash the sequel to hell and back. If there's an original concept you like, you'll want a sequel. If there's an original concept you hate, you'll ignore its sequel. It's just a cycle; no real reason to vent, IMO. Just relax and wait for Super Mario 64 3... I mean, Super Mario Universe.
