No matter how much I love any particular franchise, I'd rather see new original content (or even new content in the same universe) than straight up reboots and remakes. I hate how both with movies and shows so much of what comes out these days is just monetization of franchises rather than actually prioritizing making good content.

+ a million

Same. Even when I love something a lot, I generally don't want it to be redone and rebooted. I love the media of it that already exists. I don't need it to be redone, I love what we already have. I want different stuff, not the same retreaded.

Obviously this is a recurring sentiment on FS, and I usually scroll by because it is what it is, but tonight I offer for your consideration:

- the collapse of the studio system that scouted and developed new talent through an established network of connections (and abuse)
- increasing consolidation of the corporate entertainment industry
- fluid laws regarding intellectual property and remuneration in the age of streaming
- nepo talent
- AI
- the general lack of attention spans and disposable income in the target 18-34 age range

I would argue that there is no incentive for individuals or entities to produce novel content in 2026, outside of short-form content creation.

I just fall in love with certain fictional universes and then am always happy to see new content for those universes. But sometimes i fall in love with new universes too.

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisss. Same, so hard.

To me it depends on whether or not the thing needs/could really use a reboot or remake. There are plenty of shows and movies and games that were held back by their original budget or the technology of the time and a reboot/remake that had a higher budget or made use of modern technology would really, really make the media in question much better.

But there are also plenty of things that were just fine the way they were and truly don't need to be remade at all.

I think “feminist romance” goes together about as well as “monarchist sports story.” You could write one if you want, but the two parts aren’t related to each other.

[(Anonymous)]

I do not understand this secret. I know all those words but they are not making sense.

My mind immediately went to A Knight's Tale and Gladiator.

Anyway, I don't understand the analogy or the point.

It's a genre + qualifier. They don't have to have anything to do with each other other than serving as a label.

OP clarifies

[(Anonymous)]

This post was inspired by a person who was mad that “feminist historical romances” always involve a woman falling in love with a man who has social power over her but doesn’t abuse it. This person said those stories are actually anti-feminist because they portray patriarchy as good as long as the man is good. So I started thinking about what kind of fictional romantic relationship would be pro-feminist by that standard, and I concluded that even lesbian romance wouldn’t qualify. Like, you could have a lesbian romance that also has feminism in it, but the existence of a lesbian relationship in a story isn’t pro-feminist in and of itself.

Sometimes I wonder if JRR Tolkien ever met Richard Llewellyn or read his "How Green Was My Valley", it seems like they had similar early lives and had similar themes in their books. I can see JRRT reading the books and going "okay, but this needs a magic ring and some elves in this Welsh thing! Where is the damn Druid?". Would Tolkien like it, would Llewellyn and he get along?

I have weird thoughts about obscure books sometimes.

I don't really care that he agreed to do a gig at the comedy festival in Riyadh. Was it a great idea? No. But I cannot imagine caring this much about what comedians do when *gestures broadly at American politics*

Transcript - Great British Bake Off

[(Anonymous)]

[Text: She shared: "I'd never watched it. I still haven't watched it. I didn't understand it. Cakes are readily available in the shops. I didn't enjoy the process. You stand at the end of a long table for hours when Prue and Paul taste everything and we literally didn't speak or taste anything. I used to say, 'Can we not sit down? I'm not contributing,' but no."]

That's a quote from Sandi Toksvig about Great British Bake Off. I don't fault her for not "getting" baking or the show. I *do* fault her for accepting a huge paycheck for presenting a show where her contempt for baking and the show itself was, to me, quite clear. I wasn't surprised when I found out she quit because she didn't enjoy it. It was obvious. She shouldn't have let her attitude poison GBBO.

I think AO3 and Fanfiction.net have both harmed fandom and fanfic communities in the same way. By creating a central archive with its own culture, they've flattened the diversity which was prevalent in the era in which fanfic and fandom was hosted on individual websites and limited forums. I think both of them need to close for new accounts for a few years, so that people get used to building their own sites and develop their own voices once again instead of writing to the preexisting site audience.
