But still, I can't say that I support gutting and repacking a story to make it something it wasn't. If I wrote a story about a knight, I wouldn't want somebody turning them into a pirate. If I set a story in the Middle East in some fictional time period that never truly existed, I wouldn't want someone relocating it to a colonized Mars of the future where society has rebuilt itself from scratch after the mother of all wars. That's why you need to let this sort of stuff go. If these things end up being popular with kids like TMNT did with us then they did the right thing. This goes all the way back to Disney movies as well. Our childhood doesn't take priority over what can be done with existing properties. Otherwise we'd never see stuff like Jim Carrey's The Mask, TMNT or classic Disney movies. Reinterpreting stories in a new way can work out well. Changing things isn't inherently bad. That doesn't mean all changes are good though. But it's just the way things are. The longer a franchise has stuck around the more it has changed over the years. It's just how it is. If we were still the target audience then yeah sure appeal to nostalgia. But we're probably not. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard! |
