Another reboot with added diversity?

Are the people behind all these initiatives so devoid of original ideas? There seems to be a whole industry based on rehashing old (good) ideas, making them dogst and them complaining when audience doesn't like them. The audience is then blamed for their dislike of the new (crap) content and various -ists and -isms are used against them.

Anyone seen the preview images from the new She-Ra reboot?

Surely the Fresh Prince is ripe for an SJW reboot. The cast of that show were hardly ‘diverse’.

well Charmed is also getting a re-boot to accommodate a warlock as one of the central characters.... oh wait

My initial reaction on hearing they planned a reboot was ‘noooooo’. However, reading this thread has made me question my own negativity.

I thought back to the ’80s, which I think of as ‘my decade’, when I was enjoying The Thing, Twilight Zone and Star Trek TNG. All of them re-boots. I enjoyed all of these without worrying about the lack of original ideas in Hollywood. Stuff made 2 or 3 decades previously was ‘old’ and I wanted them ‘new’, in colour, with proper special effects.

I kinda see where you're at here BUT:

ST:TNG - isn't really a remake, it is (literally) 'the next generation' where what has gone before is acknowledged and referred to
The Thing - is a proper sequel, they used footage from the original film in the Carpenter version
Twilight Zone - again just continuation of

Just read that it may be a sequel, rather than a reboot. Much better if true.
