Same but expanding has been a bad sale lately because it pisses off old nerds or only appeases them because they focus on stories we already know the beginning and end to.
And apparently we can’t trust to tell a completely new story in the same world as that would kill the merchandise already made of characters you wish to keep around forever in their collectors packaging.
Basically people are scared to step in any direction in case it is wrong and impacts the profit.
So remake, that isn’t too different but younger.
So instead of writing competent, coherent stories and letting the creativity that caused the huge fanbase flourish, their reaction to fan rejection of by-the-numbers low effort cash grabs is to… make more remakes?
Do you know how many huge companies make money on keeping this franchise alive to sell merchandise rights and theme park tickets?!
And those 2 are worth more than any artistic integrity ever.
Right, I’m just surprised they would remake the same stories instead of just expanding on the same universe

These decision makers need to leave the industry.
