Defrost the original cast and have them come back as older pussified versions of their characters who learn the true meaning of adventure from a younger more diverse more female replacement that doesn't just outshine them in every way possible but make them realize they were never that heroic in the first place.


Literally every remake now.

That poster is extremely dishonest

That post was basically his way of saying:

quote:

You are obviously correct, Roaad. But I hate that you are the one that is clearly correct, so I will hurl a random unfounded insult at you to diminish your correctness to the masses


He will then only address the insult, not the point. . .as if that is the crux of the argument


It is like arguing with one of my old high school students in both substance and style

When you lose, hurl an insult and claim victory

It’ll be as popular as the Wonder Years reboot was, and last about as long.

Conceptionally it shouldn’t be a problem. But if they’re doing it just to make current day messaging, then screw it.

Then why piggy back on the X-files name, make you own show and call it what you want.


Yeah, like call it Sinners instead of From Dusk ‘Til Dawn to throw everybody off.

Fringe is a great example of this.

Great example of a show. . .but they really overplayed it's gimmick the last season and a half.

This...

if they take the original concept of a somewhat neurotic FBI agent investigating weird shite for real instead of just blowing it off, it could be good. And it doesn't have to be Fox Mulder balanced out by Dana Scully, it could be any combination of 2 people performing the same actions.

If there's any message other than "there's stuff really out there", it will be horrible.

I'm seeing comments that yes, it'll be 'current day (2023) shite, and not any thing faithful to the spirit of the original.

We don't know THE TRUTH because of ...systemic racism, colonization, supremacy, etc...

Really want to be wrong about this

This was the actual Director of the FBI when David Duchoveny premiered as an FBI agent in The X Files.

Sorry if this asking too much from you from a suspension of disbelief angle.

You should probably quote the entirety of what I wrote, and not chop it up to give a false impression of what I said, to argue a point I didn't make, you dishonest frick.

Because it doesn't.

Just like it doesn't matter that the new "gay Superman" is Clark's son, not Clark.

Just like it doesn't matter that the new "female Silver Surfer" isn't Norrin Radd.

Thsse things don't matter. Doing this is unacceptable and it must be rejected every time.
