[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8282848, member: 4534"] The real reason Han shooting second is a problem is because it's stupid. The scene looks silly, it doesn't make any sense, and it ruined a great scene that showed that even under pressure and at a disadvantage Han was calm, cool, and collected. It wasn't that the scene was changed it was that it was changed for the worse. How many modern adaptations of Sherlock Holmes have him taking cocaine? How many adaptations of Tarzan stories includes subtext showing white males naturally dominate no matter the circumstances? Let's take the Arthurian tales. Those have consistently been adapted over the years for different audiences. We we be better off if the Arthurian tales never changed to give us Lancelot or if Mallory never wrote Le Morte d'Arthur? Are we better off without Robin Hood because he's not the same as he was in the 1400s? What's being destroyed here? With electronic files, aren't many of these settings far more available to the public than they were twenty years ago? I think you're halfway right. I do think WotC should focus more on creating new settings rather than dredging up older ones. And even for me, I'm sure there's a point I might reach where I see all of the changes being made and might wonder why they even bothered with the revision. I don't feel particularly insulted by the new version of Ravenloft. I don't find change in and of itself to be offensive. [/QUOTE]
