Yes. But a sterilized and bland version, like a tofu burger, or a pizza with cashew cheese, or a virgin daiquiri. I've said before, if you reboot a property but take away seventy, 80 percent of what made it great, you're going to simply bore new audiences and anger the old ones, who will complain the original was far better. Sadly, they don't want to take a chance on
new content, because Hollywood has feared creators and innovators since some of the last batch turned out to be
creeps and
weirdos--I've dubbed this the "Kricfalusi effect". The words "hard to work with", "toxic", "hostile work environment", and admissions that both quality and output improved without these "tormented geniuses" about are used quite a bit in these links. And, yes,
one of the men discussed in "QOS" actually
did work for Disney
back in the day. I don't know if there was any funny business happening behind the scenes, but did you ever notice, on
Riverdale, how haunted Jughead's eyes look? It's like he's
seen things, man.
