I haven’t cared about any of their live-action remakes so far, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to the Lilo & Stitch one.

People want original stories. The recycled IP scheme is burnt out.

The only one I enjoyed was Branagh’s Cinderella. Good visuals, no weird messing with the story, just a straight up retelling, just with good acting and direction.

I wish that were true but people go bonkers over copy pastes.
- Marvel films
- Ubisoft games
- Call of duties
- sports games
- Nintendo games
- Souls games
- Battlefields None of them are original, all of them are at best small iterations upon previous

Not really. Take a step back and you realize most popular movies are recycled ips and marvel or sequels. If people wanted original stories we wouldn’t be on 90th marvel movie and 20th john wick.
