El ciclo infinito de 'Halloween': por qué H20 condenó a la saga a reiniciarse sin descanso
Michael Myers no es solo un asesino en serie; es un concepto narrativo que se niega a morir. Desde el estreno de la película original de John Carpenter en 1978, el Hombre de la Máscara ha sobrevivido a finales cerrados, secuelas erráticas, remakes y toda clase de retcons. La imparable capacidad del personaje para levantarse se ha trasladado a la franquicia: cuando una línea argumental llega a un…

Jared Leto is like if Hollywood rebooted Russell Brand for American audiences
Same aesthetic and creepitude but the self-effacing camp is replaced with grim self-seriousness and instead of making a big deal of worshipping Christ he’s got enough of that stereotypical arrogance to have a cult where he’s the one being worshipped
I feel like with live-action Moana coming out barely a few years after the animated version, eventually we're going to reach some kind of movie reboot singularity where they start making the live-actions and animated movies at the same time. And then they make the live-action reboots before the animated movies. And then we sit back and wonder what the hell it was all for.
Reboots that heavily emphasize reimagining of the characters and the story have the tendency to combine characters/ or change their backstory. DC has done this before with versions of Robin - where they combined the different suits and story elements of the Batfam onto 1 Robin.
In Ducktales 2017 they took elements from both the Barks, and Rosa comics and the 80s show. They changed a lot of the designs and backstories and even personalities. Gyro Gearloose is an extremely different person in the Reboot and a lot of folks were confused - but as the show progressed we got to learn his past and realize how it made for a much more compelling story and character.
Steelbeak also has a very different take that made fans upset but that's because they were telling a different story and had to change him to fit the narrative of Darkwing Ducks arc in the show. It was a big change but it was well done and intriguing enough that these versions grew on fans.
While I understand that the design of the Maws Superboy upsets fans do to it possibly being misleading with the way the team advertised him, all I could think about was the possibility of this being a way to make for a better story.
So combining the 2 Superboys into one can make for an interesting and exciting character story if wirtten well.
Imagine. It's the furture and Superman is gone. Hope is lost. And Lex Luther has cloned Superman but has raised him into thinking that his bio parents of Superman and Lois are dead and was orphaned. And now he gets to go back in time to save his parents and Lex only to find out that he is a clone.
We still don't know this Superboys deal yet, beyond being from the furture. Also Maws is one in a million of adaptions, reimaginings, reboots etc of Superman. So combining and remixing past ideas and characters are gonna happen.
It's ok to not like all the choices Maws Is making with the characters or the writing but it's hard to judge when the Superboy episode hasn't come out yet. Nor has the season ended.
Just read this piece on the upcoming X-Files reboot.
The heart of the original that made it iconic stays intact. The premise still pairs two contrasting investigators inside a forgotten FBI unit, and Coogler said he wants both standalone "monster of the week" cases and a slow-burning conspiracy arc, the same balance that the 1990s run utilized so well.
Well, how the Samuel Langhorne FUCK do you think you're going to manage "both standalone 'monster of the week' cases and a slow-burning conspiracy arc" in a short-run streaming season, buddy? You HAVE to have the freedom of a 23-episode network season for that, and you ain't got that, now, do you? So maybe you shouldn't be trying to do things you know you can't pull off, now, should you?
Let the past be the past in all its glory, rub two brain cells together if you got 'em, and come up with something new and creative.
ETA: When you read your own Tumblr posts and hear them in Old Harrison Ford's voice, maybe it's time to go to bed.

So, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Hollywood doesn’t seem to create a lot of original content anymore.
Before anyone grabs the comment-section megaphone, I know original projects are still being made. I’m pretty certain there are still people out their with new ideas, weird ones, risk ones, and eppics that haven’t already been rebooted, remade, reimagined, or dragged out of the attic wearing a leather duster like it’s 1998.
But from my point of view, it really does feel like most of what we’re getting is just remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels, legacy sequels, reimaginings, and “remember this thing from your childhood?”
And honestly? It kind of sucks.
Anyone who knows me knows I don’t mind a well-made remake or reboot. I’m not automatically going to set them on fire. Some of them can work, and some are clearly made by people who actually understand the original material and have something meaningful to add.
But it gets to a point where it feels like that’s all we’re getting!
I understand the argument that maybe the creative well is dry in Hollywood, but I don’t really believe that. Everything I’ve heard from insiders who have spoken with major YouTubers and commentators says the same thing: the ideas are there. The scripts are there. The creative people are there.
The problem is not that nobody has ideas.
The problem is that executives and investors want cash cows instead of risks.
Some people might argue that all of this is because Hollywood is following some kind of woke checklist, but I don’t believe that’s the real problem. I don’t think this is about checking off boxes. I think this is about money. Investors. Executives. People who seem more interested in squeezing nostalgia until it dies a painful death than actually taking a chance on something new.
And the wild part is, nostalgia is not even the problem.
The problem is that they’re using nostalgia wrong.
If you want to pull people in with nostalgia, then don’t remake the same show, movie, or game forty million times. At some point, it stops feeling like a celebration and starts feeling like somebody is photocopying a photocopy of a photocopy.
A good example outside of movies is The Last of Us. Great story. Great characters. No argument there. But that game has been re-released so many times that even people who love it start wondering if we’re buying the game or adopting it.
It’s not that people hate familiar stories. People love familiar stories. We love returning to worlds that meant something to us. We love seeing old favorites handled with care. We love when something from the past gets treated with respect instead of being turned into a brand wearing a Halloween costume.
Honestly, I think Hollywood should branch out and take a chance on something new. People have been begging for it for years!
Because nostalgia can be fun. Nostalgia can be powerful. Nostalgia can bring people back to a world they loved.
But it can’t be the whole menu.
At some point, people don’t just want another plate of the same thing. They want something new they can sink their teeth into!
But what do you guys think? Are you still enjoying the remakes, reboots, and legacy sequels, or are you ready for Hollywood to take more chances on something new?
With all these reboots it’s only a matter of time until Hollywood starts going after other films that don’t need a reboot or sequel.
I can definitely see someone pushing coach Carter 2 where his son has to step up and follow his dads footsteps and coach a new generation of basketball players and teach them how to navigate the “real world” outside their screens
Or Maya hawk plays the lead in a kill bill reboot playing the daughter all grown up out for revenge on the assassins that killed her mom
Either that or someone out there is trying to push a reboot of the goonies and knowing how much they love using 80’s nostalgia the Duffer brothers are probably desperate to destroy it
