    Are remakes ever for a new generation? Aren’t they just for the original people who liked it, and they hope a new gen will like the new content, but they never do?

      Yes, because it’s well known that once a movie or series is released, it’s promptly destroyed to make sure that no trace of it subsists. Which is why remakes are inevitable.

      Absolutely not. This is how we got to “my James Bond is better than your James Bond”-style of thinking.

      Every new gen wants their own thing. Every new gen thinks the last gen was lame. Business takes old gen shit and add new gen actor/actress/good looking person, adds old gen shit and then resells the new gen its own version. This is why every show is full of pretty people and nothing new.
