Prince didn't like memories, he used to say memories are unhealthy. Whenever people left his close circle, he would burn bridges. He was known for being good at not maintaining friendship once they left. However, Prince rewarded loyality by keeping people on the payroll for many years and decades.
After Prince divorced his first wife Mayte Garcia he had the house they were living together demolished. It was his way of erasing "old" memories.

Quite to the contrary, Prince always intended his studio Paisley Park to become a museum, filled with old memories.

Spider-man was ended a short time after Stan Lee's death.  

The others I don't know about.

Here's another fact for you.  Stan Lee was unable to watch most of the marvel movies he appeared in.  In the last several years of his life, his vision was so bad, even things only a foot or two away were just a blur to him.  He was a also unable to read anything, which he was really sad about.

When Doritos got started in Europe they didn't know how to advertise "Cool Ranch" in Germany because germans weren't familiar with Ranch dressing or the ranch flavor in general. They played around with the idea of incorporating "Buttermilk" as a name for the chips but they eventually settled on "Cool American".
No explanation needed for Cool American

Wayne Gretzky holds the record of points per game in the NHL.  he earned the record well after he had actually retired.
