[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6631685, member: 177"] The bard, *and* pretty much any mythology or legend. Robin Hood. King Arthur. The Greek pantheon. Comic book superheroes (which, really, are modern mythology - the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be seen as a modern equivalent of the Illiad....) I think I've seen the [i]Richard[/i] you're talking about. Branagh's [i]Henry V[/i] was excellent, his [i]Much Ado...[/i] was very good (it needs to be respected if only for giving us Michael Keaton's truly inspired Dogberry). Branagh's Hamlet? Most. Boring. Play. Ever. There is great utility to redoing a piece, because you get automatic comparison and contrast along with it, you get to make clear things the audience should think about, by where you put your differences. But, if you choose those differences poorly (like in the recent Spider Man reboot), or you execute poorly, then that works against you. The Marvel Universe, overall, is getting some reboot work done this summer in the comics. I am hoping they use the opportunity wisely, and they choose their differences well, so they can continue in useful and interesting directions. [/QUOTE]
