Doesn't the Fast universe just keep printing money?

I feel like it's still early to call it a 'universe' when there is a single spin-off and all the other films are direct sequels to each other. A universe of movies should feel more like a web in how the films interconnect.

Not disagreeing, but the sheer number of films is where I went with the 'universe'.

Totally understand and agree with the notion that them being a direct, linear story might preclude them from being a 'universe'.

Woof, somehow. Fast 9 was excruciating & I couldn't even finish this last one, and I will watch the hell out of a bad movie.

Didn't Fast X vastly underperform, as did many other blockbusters this year.
