I can see this being like the "His Dark Materials" series.

The Golden Compass was actually a pretty entertaining book with a unique premise and a hell of a twist ending. The first sequel was decent, but not nearly on par with the original. The third book was terrible and I only finished it out of a hope that at some point he could fix the damage he'd done. Then, it was released as a film, which was absolutely horrid and left out the twist at the end that made the sequels happen in the first place. The movie was so bad, that was the last we've heard of the proposed trilogy. I doubt we'll ever see the other two movies get made unless somebody steps in and "reboots" them (since that seems to be the trend). Why bother making sequels from inferior source material when you can't bother to make a good movie out of the one great story in the bunch?

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" was an incredible series. As has been mentioned, the third season wasn't quite to the level that the first was, but it wound up building to an incredible climax that satisfactorily wrapped up a very well-done cartoon. And then M. Night Shyamalan made the movie... I don't think we'll see sequels.

Or, rather, I won't see sequels...
