Look at Hollyweird's track record and name any so-called "re-boots" /
"remakes" / "reimaginings" that are anything like the original.
People are fans of something precisely because they like the way it is.
Making idiotic changes simply so some greedy bigwigs can HOPEFULLY make
more money is simply slapping those fans in the face and telling them
they aren't important, despite being the people who have kept the
franchise alive for so many years already.
The entire idea of making "reboots" is moronically stupid, if not
morally stupid as well.
