But a lot of 80s comedy/adventure is super creepy. I don't think you can do 80s comedy today.

I think it'd be really hard to make something that was based on 80s comedy, and have it be satisfying and good, and not just a collage of 80s jokes and references. I don't know how you do that. The social stuff and the themes in 80s movies feel really different now. And that's a harder problem to overcome with comedy than it is with horror, I think.

TBH I also think a lot of 80s comedies are pretty overrated in general.

I just don't know how you do it.

Stranger Things, The Americans, Halt and Catch Fire... These shows are set in the 80s but the writing is contemporary. If they were written like an actual tv show from the 80s, they'd be garbage by today's standards. First of all, no serialized plots in 80s shows unless they were soaps like Dallas. All the 80s sci fi and comedy people rave about...overrated. :/ You'd have to apply the same standards to those genres that are being applied to these shows for them to succeed.

I accept that there's going to be some change in the style and technique of making something, but I think it goes deeper than that for 80s comedies. You have to change the whole social outlook to get rid of all the fuckery that goes throughout those movies. And then, when you get rid of that stuff, when you change all the themes and stuff, what's actually left? With a horror show like Stranger Things, you have a really distinct style of horror and sf/f stuff going on. What's the equivalent of that for an 80s comedy?

Are you referring to stuff like Revenge of the Nerds?

I mean... they could be updated. A lot of 80s stuff period doesn't match with today's social values.
