The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don’t have to watch any of that. I can just think “that sounds boring or otherwise doesn’t interest me in any way” and do something other than watch it
“They’re making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet,” you might say to me. “They’re doing a live action the last airbender again, didn’t you love avatar?” I don’t find it necessary. This is nothing to me
I agree…
with the exception of DuckTales. That reboot was amazing.
DuckTales is an exception because it was made by people who grew up with the original 1987 series/the Disney Afternoon block and were influenced by the comics, especially those made by Carl Barks and Don Rosa. They showed genuine respect for the source materials while having the reboot be its own thing. π A lot of the other reboots, revivals, prequels, sequels, and what not are made to be cash cows that capitalize on nostalgia; in other words, most of them don’t follow what I like to call the “DuckTales Method” of bringing back beloved IPs.
I miss when every new transformers show was trying ultra hard NOT to be G1.
