Did not know they were doing Nikita! 👀👀👀

I just wish so much of it wasn't on several different streaming services that each have that one rebooted thing and then nothing else I'm interested in, hahaha. I was soooo into Karate Kid when I was younger and Cobra Kai sounds like the kind of fanfiction I'd be writing about it now if I was going to write KK fanfiction, honestly. :D

And I don't get why people complain so much about reboots. It doesn't stop the original from existing, and if the reboot objectively sucks, maybe it'll at least get some new younger folks who weren't around for the original interested in seeing the original. (I was happy about Trek rebooting before ever seeing the movie myself because suddenly people were talking and writing about characters I knew and loved, and watching TOS for context, and suddenly I had people to talk to about Trek!)

It is true that if it weren't for reboots there would be no nuwho or Kelvin/Disco Trek. So, yeah, fuck reboots. Fuck 'em hard.

I like the cut of your jib, nonny.

nothing to add really, i could have written this!

I'm coming in this late to add I don't mind reboots if they're meant to be spin-offs/continuations but I dislike when they re-do something that's already been done. It's often unnecessary IMO. That story has already been told and there's nothing stopping anyone from revisiting it. If something needs a drastic overhaul to "update" it for "modern" audiences it's probably better left to itself as well. And I'll agree with another comment that the obsession with remakes, reboots, and adaptations means a lot of original scripts just sit there unnoticed and not taken a risk on. Which is a shame.

There are some fandoms where the newer material totally overtakes the original/old and it makes it very annoying if you're an OG only fan because the argument "just stick to the old stuff and mind your business" doesn't work. It's everywhere like a bad fanon you can't avoid. I can't mind my own business, people won't let me! I'm not really mad at anyone for enjoying the newer stuff but fandoms are much more terrible at compartmentalizing like that than a lot of people seem to give them credit for.

I'd have to see it to believe it. It's my favourite Shakespeare play, but every modern adaptation I've seen has been awful. The turning point where Claudio spurns Hiro in public for her supposed infidelity is horrendous in a modern context.

[(Anonymous)]

I appreciated that the BBC ShakespeaRe-Told version just changes the end. Hero tells Claudio that it's lovely that he's sorry, but it's not enough. She rejects him and leaves to find a new job.

I didn't realize until I watched it how badly I needed to see a version like that. Pretty cathartic.

[(Anonymous)]

That was how Nothing Much To Do played it, right?

[(Anonymous)]

I hate Claudio, regardless of the era. I get the social and historical context. I don't care. I hate him. The remarkable thing about Fran Kranz's portrayal was that it made me hate him a little less. I feel like he kind of played Claudio as someone with low self-esteem.

While I usually enjoy seeing fresh, updated takes on shows, I'm dreading the kind of people the reboot will bring into the Fandom. I remember what happened to Hannibal.

Can you really confuse those two signs? One has a circle around it and the other one doesn't, right?
