Nonsense.
Crybaby fanboys maybe, but not just general fans who are capable of not getting overly attached to one version of something.
I've loved every version of a lot of things I am a fan for.
And the whole nihilistic "Never do anything so you can't be disappointed" take is hot garbage and cowardly. >

Scarface was a remake of a movie from the 40s, that was pretty good. I actually liked the rebooted Power Rangers movie from a few years ago, I thought they handled that pretty well.
The problem isn't reboots and remakes, the problem is people who don't know how to handle reboots and remakes. >

Yeah I agree.  The frequency online you get "This film/game/book is a sacred and should never be remade" hottake about something that was in itself a remake is frankly hilarious. >

Honestly, there's a few remakes and reboots that I wouldn't mind seeing. I've said for years that a modern day Breakfast Club has potential to be a really good movie. I also think that it's time Hollywood reintroduce Casper the Friendly Ghost into the cultural zeitgeist
