Dragonlance Dragonlance "Reimagined".

Not really it's like lancing a boil or amputating a limb.

If the boil is full of screaming children, sure.

95% on RT vs. 43%. Take the L

So more people like glowing robot spines and bad plot twists.

I feel like we knew this.

We also knew that popularity isn't the same as quality any more than newness or oldness is.

That's our Morality and even then children have been caught in the crossfire's by the right side winning. Think 1939-45. That was total war, Dragonlance is total war on a cosmic scale

Hell evil won in the twins trilogy novel and it can't create so everyone died.

The alternative is vastly worse. That's the type of decisions gods have to make. If redemption band peace isn't an option dropping a mountain makes sense.

Drop a mountain vs everyone dooe.

Choosing the lesser evil, even when you don't have a better choice doesn't make the lesser evil good.

Choosing the lesser evil, even when you don't have a better choice doesn't make the lesser evil good.

it is when the choice is a few die vs everyone or creation itself is at stake.

We saw that in the novels other deities like Shar and Tharizdun want to destroy everything. It's ultimate evil winning forever.

And who is suggesting that? Who is claiming e.g. that the modern version of Spelljammer is flawless and entirely an improvement? Because this appears to be a strawman

You do however seem to be subscribing to the principle that the original is best. And no. No it isn't. Sometimes it is but not always.

It is being implicitly suggested by all the people who flock to new versions of old properties, and by content creators who insist on remakes instead of risking themselves a bit on original work.

I like some new things. About half of nu-Trek is good, even great in my opinion. Most if not all the TV offerings for Star Wars are excellent. I don't like everything about new Spelljammer (especially the format and the lack of content), but they nailed the feel of the original.

On the other hand, my distaste for new Ravenloft is well known. Mostly, I'm just tired of people telling me that things I really liked growing up actually suck, over and over again.

I actually liked the BSG reboot, even the ending, although I never got into the original. But the implication you're making that objective quality is measured by how many positive reviews it gets is very wrong in my opinion.

This update of the late-1970s series takes a decidedly darker tone as what's left of humankind struggles for survival against the robot Cylons, who have killed millions. The Galactica, led by William Adama, protects a patched-together fleet of civilians -- led by de facto president Laura Roslin...

Just because something is popular doesn't make it a masterpiece.... Look to a lot of popular music for instance.

That said, you're entitled to your opinion, but don't expect everyone else to agree with you. Personally, I found NuGalactica to be about on par with a bad CW show and gave up 2 seasons in after trying really hard to give it a chance.

Espicially on RT. Critics also tend towards snobbery. They look down on "lowbrow" entertainment.

If you want to be in an Oscar contention make a historical drama with a morality theme. Sure as hell you won't see a comedy win an Oscar these days.

Season 2 was rough. I enjoyed it more on a second rewatch. I do think it's over rated like a lot of Trek.
