I should note that my final statements were out of personal frustration with media, and not directed and Mr. Reeves and Mr. Winters specifically. I’m tired of having to sort through the hundreds of quick cash grab “safe” franchise movies for a few gems that reworked a story/moved characters forward. This is also combined with general frustration of tons of 80s and 90s nostalgia being thrown at me constantly purely for the sake of marketing. Obviously, I should be breathing and considering what I post on the internet, but everyone has their days.
That said, thank you for filling me in on that above, as I hadn’t really seen the years of attempts mentioned as much when I’ve seen anything about this. I hope this turns out good and is successful, both because I loved the originals, and it sounds like the creators are truly putting the work into this one. Even better if it spurs more of that kind of effort in the future when going for an existing story or set of characters. I think this is one of those times I really want to be proven wrong.
