[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6631194, member: 1"] I said this elsewhere, but it bears repeating. Reboots of IP that matters to you are bad. Reboots of things that don't are fine. The truth is, neither matter - the existence of a thing shouldn't bother anybody. I preferred the new Trek movies to the tedious rubbish that was Voyager or Enterprise. But then, I objected to TNG at the time. I changed my mind later. I also don't see the need to just repeat stuff. A reboot is supposed to change things. The new BSG was superior to the original in every way. The A Team movie was inferior to the original in every way, but it doesn't take away from it. Bond movies of today do not resemble Bond movies of yesteryear. Neither do Batman movies. New interpretations of characters and tales are perfectly OK - we'll like some, not others. Not a problem. After all, how many Hamlets have their been? How many Draculas? How many Batmen? BTiLC isn't any more inviolate than any of those. One day we'll have someone new play Rocky. Or Indiana Jones. Or Wolverine. Iron Man. It's all OK. [/QUOTE]
