You're allowed to eat your burger again but it might taste like shit.

I personally don't rewatch things over and over and over. For people who do, that's great, no judgement. Enjoy what you enjoy, I just rarely have the motivation/excitement to revisit. Probably revisiting 80's He-Man would be a major letdown. Seeing modern He-Man in adult situations seemed like a cool idea though and it was cool for those two minutes of screen time. I wanted more from the first five episodes. When people think Masters of the Universe they tend to think He-Man and Skeletor. If you could dig up sales on toys from the show in the 80's it was likely dominated by He-Man and Skeletor. Anyone who thinks this a woke accusation is free to think whatever they want but they miss the mark and are arguing with themself at that point.

But who's to say a straight up sequel that's just HeMan vs Skeletor would be good either? It could be written like crap with potholes all over the place.

Just like if the new Ghostbusters was the original 3 minus Egon. Do people really want to see 70 year old guys chasing ghosts?

Yes, I agree with you on the idea that it's probably better to try and launch a new franchise than revive an old one that will most definitely not be universally accepted, as it's nearly impossible to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but, sadly, no studio is really willing to invest triple-digit millions of dollars on a new idea anymore.
