The X-Men movies may have the craziest chronology and arc of quality of any franchise

Many franchises start off with a couple of good entries before slowly declining over time. Additionally, the franchises that go on a while sometimes get desperate and throw prequels, spinoffs, and reboots into the mix. Sometimes they get super convoluted. Halloween is a good example, with an unrelated spinoff for the 3rd film, two reboot movies, and three separate chains of installments that get retconned out of existence by the following installments. Usually not many of these sequels or tangential films are good. But putting all of these franchises to shame is X-Men, which has the wildest timeline and a completely unpredictable journey from good to bad. Going off of general consensus of how each film was received, we have:

X-Men (1st film): Good

X2 (Sequel): Good

The Last Stand (3rd film): Bad

X-Men Origins Wolverine (Spinoff Solo Prequel): Real bad

First Class (Prequel/Reboot): Good

The Wolverine (Loose Sequel to Spinoff Solo Prequel): Starts off good, becomes eh

Days of Future Past (Sequel to Prequel/Reboot but also Time Travel Crossover with Original Trilogy): Real good

Deadpool (Tangentially Related Spinoff Whose Place in the Continuity Is "Whatever Is Funniest at the Moment"): Good

Apocalypse (3rd Prequel/Reboot): Eh

Logan (3rd Film of Loose Spinoff Solo Trilogy): The best one

Deadpool 2 (Sequel to Tangentially Related Spinoff Whose Place in the Continuity Is "Whatever Is Funniest at the Moment"): Good

Dark Phoenix (4th Prequel/Reboot): Bad

New Mutants (Different Tangentially Related Spinoff/Reboot/Whatever This One was Supposed to Be): Real bad

Deadpool and Wolverine (3rd film of Tangentially Related Spinoff Whose Place in the Continuity Is "Whatever Is Funniest at the Moment"/Multiverse Crossover with Protagonist of the Other Spinoff Solo Films Even Though He Died in the 3rd Film of Loose Spinoff Solo Trilogy and the Hugh Jackman Said He Was Done/Technically a Sequel to 3rd Film of Loose Spinoff Solo Trilogy Anyway/Multiverse Crossover and Continuity Merge with the Superhero Franchise that Will Be Taking Over this Franchise/Meta Post-Mortem and Emotional Closure of Not Only This Franchise but Other Superhero Movies from This Studio and Others, Including One that Never Got Made): Good

This doesn't even take into account the MCU crossovers (particularly the upcoming Doomsday) and the question of whether we ever actually return to the original trilogy's timeline at all due to continuity differences and the fact that Professor X keeps coming back to life between movies without explanation.

Is there any other franchise that comes close?
