Yes a director can have good an bad movies. But keep in mind those are your opinions. Half of your *bad* movies many individuals would place on a favorable list.
As a huge fan of Transformers, yes the live action series has been mostly a letdown. But Paramount/Hasbro stopped caring about continuity a long time ago, so I take each film on its own merit now. After the dumpster fire that was TLK, I had zero faith in BB. However everything I've seen has turned me around, and brought me back. It has that 80's nostalgia that makes it look fun for me, it also looks like the first TF film I can actually take my kids to, being child friendly without being childish. Hasbro has also stated many times this is more of a reboot than a prequel. I personally think the TF franchise needs a long break from the big screen, but one last ride, with a fresh director, Travis Knight, may turn things around. Honestly I can think of dozens of other TF characters I'd rather see a solo film about than Bumblebee, but I'm still cautiously optimistic and looking forward to it.
As for the DCU, I've liked each film on varying levels except Suicide Squad, that film to me can just be erased from history and it wouldn't matter, I'd actually be happier for it. Aquaman looks amazingly fun, I'm definitely looking forward to it. In fact, December has 4 films I want to see, and I *probably* wont see them all in December, if at all, but I want to support them as much as possible, if for no other reason, to take away from the Mary Poppins dominance that is predicted.
My 4 in order of priority are:
1.Into the Spider-verse
2. Bumblebee
3. Aquaman
4. Mortal Engines
-I know that last one is going to get buried, but its been a long time since I've supported an underdog in the cinemas
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
