Already addressed this.

I'd love to know at what point do these franchises become pristine keepsakes that are to remain untouched? Because the originators of those two franchises milked them for every penny they could.


Well, because you aren't really seeing the point. It has less to do with "when does the thing become a keepsake," and more to do with the intentions of the "remake-er," in my opinion. Not all remakes are the same, and not all re-makers are the same.

I'm only inferring that they shouldn't, if the intentions aren't honest. The problem is that we have gotten less and less honesty over time. More and more inserted messages and meanings. Recastings, gender changes, etc. It's just not creative at all, it does blur the meaning of the original to culture.

If it's a point of pride to see no value in art, and that's what you want all art to look like. Not sure that should be a point of pride.



You would champion someone remaking Lord of the Rings with all gender-queer characters, and that the Ring grants total sexual bliss instead of turning someone invisible, and that's why it enchants people to put the ring on?




Great, now I've given them ideas.

No I wouldn't champion it. I'd have no interest in watching it. I wouldn't care who watches it.

Has a race/gender swapped property ever had success? I feel like all of them have immediately bombed.

You already know it is going to be something something white supremacy, something something immigration/ICE allegory.

Leftists in Hollywood are pretty one-note these days

How many times will she have to deal with cartoonish, 1920's style racism in the year of our lord 2026?

I am betting at least once an episode

His vision is in the same continuity as the original, but with entirely new characters.

"Sinners filmmaker Coogler is writing and directing the pilot for the new X-Files. In it, two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents — one played by Deadwyler — form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena."

Entirely new characters who happen to have the same exact backstory as the original ones? Cool.

Coogler said he's in conversation with Gillian Anderson to have Scully do a cameo.

also - "long-shuttered division"
