But ordinary film fans who prefer to watch full-length movies may not have a clue about this term. They are much more familiar with words like “prequel”, “sequel” or even “interquel”. Spin-offs are jokingly called “sideways,” since this is a plot offshoot of the original series created by the same company, but with other characters.
When the secondary characters become the main

In fact, they know well what spin-offs are, fans of the overseas TV series Buffy, Doctor Who, The X-Files, and Family Guy, but this concept has also taken root in the domestic TV shows: Soldiers, Univer "And" Capercaillie ".
"Vokokvely" for money
Некоторые зрители на вопрос «что такое спин-офф» respond with a clear taste of sarcasm and a great deal of skepticism. They simply say that this is one of the many ways to either cut down more money from the audience or raise the rating of the original series. Indeed, this method is used not only in the cinema, but also in literature and music. For example, a group that released a new album may try to sell a kind of spin-off to its fans - a single or a collection of remixes. In literature, this principle works in the same way as in the movies. Seeing that the sales of books have grown, the author hurries to write a detailed biography of each character, releasing a whole series of books. The fact that such a spin-off, and the manufacturers of computer games. Sometimes new games, glued together horribly and from which they got into a wild desire to earn money from fans, are created on the basis of the original series. Most often, gamers are disappointing, but after the money has been paid, so any such device performs its function perfectly.

And of course, on conscience of Robert Kirkman and his team of professionals, because the same cast of the crew will work on the idea.
