I was looking at my Goodreads account and I’ve read around 300+ sci-fi books. There are TONS of stories that could be awesomely adapted to TV. Why do they insist on rehashing the same old shit?
Cuz Hollywood is dying or going through a dark age. No faith in trying new things. Complete profit driven cynicism from the top. An interest in only making substantial profits when entertainment is probably best run as a low-profit industry so that risks can be taken in order to enrich and progress culture.
How does anyone else feel about the quality of writing they’ve been seeing lately? I feel like I can detect a drop in quality over the past couple of years. At first I thought it was all the work done over the pandemic but I feel like it’s persisting.
People that liked this show as teens now earn money fulltime. So the answer is: consumers with cash reliving their childhood.
Or finish the expanse, fuck.
Well last time they rehashed Battlestar Galactica it actually went well, so can’t knock all rehashing imo
Went well? Seriously? First year was good and I liked it. From that point on it was downhill. An entire year lost on semi religious cult BS. Then another year lost in a muddy planet. Then all the “All along the watchtower” mess. With the most stupid ending conceivable. “Let’s throw the ships into the sun”. Why??? Oh and we made such a mess with the story that Starbucks just disappeared out of thin air…
What year is it?!
Would really prefer they did something new/different with the IP than rehash the same old stuff.
Or if they didn’t use the IP to keep rehashing the same stories and make something unique.
All of this happened before and it will happen again
And Firefly has no reboot.
Yay! More tv shows getting ruined because the entertainment industry has Zero creativity!
We’ve had one, yes, but what about second reboot?
Jesus fuck, can we just not?
What the frack?
I feel if it only really achieved cult fame during the new golden age of television, a reboot of a cult show made during the most popular era of television is going to not be as popular and be objectively worse. I would generally be up to be proven wrong, but I wish they’d leave BSG alone unless it was some kind of continuation or spinoff instead of a reboot.
