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
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.
