Buddy I'm not weeping for the retelling of stories. I'm weeping for the devolution of the modern Arts into perpetual nostalgiabait circlejerking in pursuit of profit.
There are MAJOR differences between "retelling a story because it's a historical classic that still holds emotional and cultural value devades/centuries/millenia later", and "rebooting a dead IP for nostalgiabait in order to try and make a shit ton of profit".
The whole point of pursuing the Arts and Humanities, as I understand it, is to pursue NEW art and literature that evokes new emotion. Not just to pump out Airbud 27.
Lol, you totally missed the point.
