MCU / DC (both franchises are huge and span decades)
Barbie ( girls have been playing with these dolls and following their trends for generations)
Disney Classics (not sure if this counts as a franchise?)
I can think of at least ten more franchises that are solid and influential but that either need a couple more decades or a bigger following to match the aforementioned ones
The Simpsons
Star Wars
LOTR
