I mean, it did a good-ish job in quite a few ways but in a very superficial way. It ignored the themes of the original while also spending a lot of its time going "Hey, you remember that bit from the original? Well now we said the line!" This is why I would compare it to something like VIIR (or Star Wars Episode VII...) where it's not literally all bad or anything but it is clear that there is more effort on nostalgia-bait than actually making a good product so anything but a basic interpretation of events is shelved. It sets up the stage, but it fails to really do anything but go "I bet you wanna watch the original now, dont'cha?" as far as content is concerned. I'm fine with plenty of changes that were unpopular, such as having one of the dynamic duo switched out or the use of CGI at all, but my issues come from them just making a vapid product that doesn't do anything more than call to the original and be pretty.

As someone that owns the original anime and manga I dont agree with this take at all.

Stampede doesnt make want to go back and read/watch the originals. It makes me curious to see what happens next.
