I’m fine with reboots because if all we had was original content, this complaining society would complain about not having reboots.

Forgive me for being born after the 90s y’all, but sometimes it’s nice to have a reboot. Well. I could care less about movie/TV show reboots since so many places show the originals or you could pirate, but when it comes to games, I appreciate being able to enjoy the same games my mom did but with slightly better graphics and on a console we own/PC. And yes, I could pirate the originals, but sometimes it’s nice to play it as it was intended, especially for hand held games.
Yes reboots can be lazy and uninspired, and simply for money purposes, but other times it’s nice to see something come back to life and get a second chance. There’s so much stuff I wouldn’t have known about or enjoyed if it wasn’t for reboots.

I’m actually watching the original buffy right now for the first time, even though I was a highschool kid when it originally aired.
Go watch that. It holds up very well. I’m about to start season 6 (of 7) right now. Only thing that dates it really, is that no one has cell phones. They were common to have in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s when the show aired, but tons of movies and TV shows around then chose to mostly ignore their existence because they blocked off or simplified so many plot points and story lines. It’s strange to think that no one beyond my generation will know what it was like to not have cell phones and the internet.
