Some old rpgs I always list.

Besides that I really dont know, along the lines of some more modern series that have had some missteps, I had been hoping they would give dead space another go.

They are doing that one, so infamous maybe?

Honestly, Chrono Trigger. The original was pretty much perfect in terms of the story it wanted to tell, and the tone in which it wanted it told. I've always enjoyed Chrono Cross for what it was, but I tend to headcanon it as an alternate reality spinoff instead of a true sequel, and have no interest in seeing the franchise go beyond that point (and honestly, Schala's fate wasn't interesting enough as a sequel hook to ever make me want said sequel for its own sake). Plus I wouldn't trust contemporary Squeenix to touch the franchise with a ten-foot pole.

This is what it mainly comes down to for me. I don't trust modern Hollywood and these politically charged times. Too much pandering and trying to be "woke" at the expense of just telling a good story with good characters.

You ever have one of those instances where you're standing in line somewhere and a stranger starts chatting you up about something (let's say movies), and you're both like 'oh yeah, totally, the new Star Wars movies suck, haha.' and then the stranger completely out of the blue blames it all on those damn **insert racial or ethnic slur** and you chuckle nervously and back away slowly?

Nothing, at worst it creates an excuse to play/watch the original at best you get another enjoyable experience.

The new Ghostbusters doesn't make the originals any less enjoyable. The new ff7 doesn't make the original any less enjoyable and is giving me more to enjoy.

Star Wars movies should also be put on ice. Disney's treatment of that trilogy ended up being shambolic in the end. You sideline your new characters and good actors immediately in order to prop 70 year olds all while making the pivot to call this franchise "The Skywalker Saga", in order to get some clout and goodwill after you cratered the franchise.

I can say for myself that I was very annoyed by TRoS when they dragged around dead husks from 40 years ago in order to appease me. It was embarrassing. I never asked for a 42 year wrap-up. The 9 movies are not called "The Skywalker Saga".

GTFO with that forced Disney branding.

So be it, honestly. They're fine movies, but when you get them shoved down your fucking throat for most of your lifespan, the gloss wears off.

Oh Wow, They Did An Aliens Again! An Aliens Was In Mortal Kombat With Rambo and RoboCop!

It's like - the movies are perfectly fine. They deserve their GOAT status or whatever. But I'm sick of being told to care about the legacy of these franchises for the fifth time in 12 years through reboots, sequels and video game appearances. It's desperate shilling at this point, and it's unappealing. Things happen, and then they end, and they stand on their own - sometimes that's exactly how it should be.

Like even recently, there was an announcement that there's gonna be more Avatar: The Last Airbender stuff. It'll probably be okay, but it's just as valid to let The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra stand on their own - especially after Korra struggled to find its footing and got taken off of TV, airing most of its final season in web premieres, the box office movie sucked and Netflix fucked the creators behind the franchise out of the live-action miniseries. It's okay to let the pre-existing media stand on its own, you don't have to milk it until it feels like ash in the mouth of your audience.

I guess that's my answer to this thread as well. I kinda hope the live-action Avatar series gets cancelled and they leave the franchise alone. It's already good enough with what we've got. There doesn't have to be more. Though I wouldn't mind some prequel stuff, there's plenty of cool stuff to tap there.

In regards to Star Wars, the woke stuff is a symptom IMO. The Disney tentacle monster got a hold of the franchise and it was yanking it in every which way to appease everyone. The bigger problem is that the franchise went off the rails by a combination of things.

Sidelining most of the new characters after TFA. Trying to be too "current" with the writing and script style. Dragging old corpses on screen and baiting old fans with them. Putting up a woke facade and then turning your black actor into a joke. Yadda yadda.

So taking issue with Hollywood's hollow attempts to constantly capitalize on the socio-political flavor of the week is now equivalent to just being outright racist? Jeez, at least gather more context first before you jump straight to the worst assumption. The refusal to acknowledge that this is even a thing is how we get shows like Batwoman.

Not really a reboot, but I hope Bethesda does not remaster their modern games (Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout 3) like a lot of people want, because the modding communities for each of those games is reaching a really incredible level, and a new game would just split the community and start a lot of progress over. Also, the community is doing their own remakes of each of these anyway for free.

It didn't "suddenly lurch" anywhere. You just took my statement completely out of context, filled in the blanks with headcanon, and got offended on your own behalf. Quit looking for things to be upset about.

Thats the opposite of what Disney did.

The ST mainly focused on Rey and Ben. Chewy was turned into Reys chauffeur. Ackbar got randomly killed off. Leia didnt do anything noteworthy until her death distracted Ben. Jake Skywalker is its own story. Han was ok I guess.

Id say Disney treats the new characters just as bad as the legacy characters.

I dunno why, but this reminded me of pretty much every kids show having a wheelchair kid in the 90s.

Lol, I forgot that was a thing.

But in general, I miss how they used to handle "progressiveness" in media. It was more subtle and artful. They didn't wag their finger in the audience's face and condescend them, nor did they use "wokeness" as an excuse to be lazy writers. 90s Mulan was about a woman overcoming adversity and sexism, but still putting in work and using her unique assets to become a true warrior. 2020 Mulan is basically Superwoman from start to finish.

Oh, PLEASE enlighten me: What exactly does it say about my character? Be VERY specific, and don't use assumptions.

This is a topic about why you don't want certain IPs to be rebooted. Hollywood currently being full of hacks who want pats on the back for being disingenuously woke is a fine reason.

Pretty much every series I've ever liked has had some kind of reboot I didn't agree with.

> Spider-Man can't have "Mary Jane" as a girlfriend unless she's ugly. Michelle can be pretty. Heaven forbid that they call her Mary Jane though. As far as Marvel is concerned, Mary Jane is French for objectified damsel in distress girlfriend.

> TMNT goes too dark or two stupid and is hellbent on making the team mom into a little girl.

> He-Man got SPOILERS'd and Teela is more mannish than Prince Adam ever was.

> Batman isn't Batman unless he can complain about how bad he's got it while walking on water. (Not that we care about Batman anyway. DC stands for Harley Quinn Comics.)

> X-Men became The Wolverine Show and Rogue stopped being hot a long time ago.

> Wrestling is a bunch of zombies, Muppets, skinny guys doing backflips, and celebrity guests. (Yay, celebrities!)

> James Bond went from a globetrotting playboy fantasy self-insert character to a wannabe Jason Bourne who dodges sex to carry out missions and only goes for older/married women. (Could you be less fun if you tried?)

> Star Wars systematically replaced likable characters with bland ones and stereotyped or wrote off what few new characters were likable.

> The Terminator and Alien revivals... don't exist. Those series only have two films each.

> Transformers fell into the hands of Michael Bay.

> King Kong had a bad reboot in 2005, a good solo movie in Skull Island, and got totally pissed on in the King Kong vs Godzilla remake.

I will say I do still enjoy the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World movies (sans JPIII). And while I don't like the way Godzilla vs Kong was handled, Godzilla himself has never had a bad break aside from the Roland Emmerich movie.
