Would you ever be open to a Back to the Future reboot? Could it not be screwed up?

There seems to be some potential here but I know they'd probably screw it up. Doc would be some transgender man. Marty would be an actual woman.
Einstein would probably be a cat.
There just seems like there could be a successful effort made. The newest Ghostbusters reboot wasn't a total abortion.
Zemeckis is never going to release the property though. Maybe for the best.

I don’t get it. You’re asking for a reboot but you don’t want them to change anything? What’s the point?

I could see Leslie Jones as the new Doc

Depends, will they deep dive why a 17 year old high school rock musician spent so much time hanging out with a 65 year old disgraced scientist?
Because, I don't think I want to know.

The newest Ghostbusters isn't a reboot at all.
Or do you mean the one from 2016 with an entirely different cast?

I don't like MOST reboots.
It isn't a woke/anti-woke thing either. I didn't like the Robocop reboot. Hell, I didn't like it when Lucas kept making alterations and edits to his original trilogy.
Reboots are being done because Hollywood doesn't like to gamble anymore. Back in the 80s there were so many new ideas because studios were willing to take a chance; but now the only time you see something truly original is at an Indie film festival.
Of course, it depends on what you consider a "reboot" - is Wednesday a reboot? Or more akin to a reimagining? It doesn't redo the entire family, but it's not like it truly takes up where the TV or original movies leave off either.
Some movies are just amazing as they are. They need to be left alone.

The biggest problem with a modern day Doc Brown is it’s becoming harder to imagine a physicist/engineer homebrewing a technological innovation on the minuscule amount of wealth he had left in 1985.
Not that it was remotely possible in 1985, but there was this dirty mechanic like ethos to Doc Brown. Like you knew he was obsessed enough with his invention to figure out how to turn a water heater into a nuclear reactor. That ethos is necessary to the heart of the character.
These days, with companies like Apple making all of their gizmos non-homebrew friendly, Doc Brown would need to still be working in the corporate lab to have access to the materials. So, he’s not a fringe tinkerer building a machine on a wing and a prayer anymore.

NO
I have no idea why hollywood has such an insatiable desire to take great films from the past and shittify them up.
If you wanna make a time travel movie with wheelchair bound minority transgenders, fine. They can use a time traveling delorean and use a silly doctor and use simialr plot points all you want. But don't fricking call it Back to the Future.

Well seeing as they would probably have Marty go back in time to make sure he comes out as a trans as a kid, No, I don't want to see that.

What I’m getting at is all about how we interact with technology these days and how it informs the audience’s suspension of disbelief.
In 1985, any tinkerer could fix the rabbit ears on a CRT TV. These days you have to call in a technician to fix your TV or turn it in for a new one.
We’re no longer a DIY culture. The audience is not going to easily suspend their disbelief when most people know that electronics are easily brickable nowadays so where is Doc going to get the parts?

He got the plutonium from the terrorist, which is about the only way he could get his hands on it.
The rest of the time machine from the flux capacitor to the time circuits look like they were jury rigged from items he got at Radio Shack. Does Radio Shack sell anything other than police scanners now?
