Reboots/revivals Of Tv Shows Or Movies


Recommended Posts

I'm okay with reboots, but most of the time they tend to disappoint. One exception though is my favorite TV series, Doctor Who. It started 1963 and went off the air in 1989. They tried to revive it with a movie, but it wasn't enough to propel it back to its iconic status. Come 2005, they did it correctly as a TV series and it is running until now. It works because the main character can regenerate into a completely different person with a different personality but with the same goal.

 

Another one that's enjoyable for me is Will & Grace and Gilmore Girls. The Veronica Mars movie, i'm not sure if one can consider that a reboot or merely a continuation story for the fans. A sort of closure movie.

 

I recently saw a trailer of the Meteor Garden reboot and I'm not a fan. The Charmed reboot doesn't look promising too. Sometimes they try to hard to make it 'unique' that it becomes an epic fail.

 

Havent seen one episode of Doctor Who, yet ... may look into it. ;)

 

Will & Grace ... there were some hit & miss episodes, though. Loved the one where Grace & Karen were trapped in the shower ... :D Sad, that there werent enough Gilmore Girls episodes ...

 

Veronica Mars, cant seem to recall to have seen a single episode ... will possibly check on them. :)

 

My niece was/still is a Korean telenovela/K-Pop fan ... have no idea what her take on the reboot would be for Meteor Garden. :blink:

 

Yup, the Charmed reboot looks WEIRD ... :unsure:

 

Thanks for your insghts, sis ... ^_^

My personal take is that rebooted films or series is more pressure for the producer since 1) they will always be compared to the original 2) they will most likely remake only successful movies which means that the new one has to be on an even higher level. It will really be hit or miss.

I'm an Aircraft Mechanic so it's a big YAY for me! 👌🏽

 

I can't wait to see Maverick flying again with that Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Bug and giving a middle finger to a Chinese Shenyang J11 fighter pilot over the Sea of Japan while flying inverted above it! 😂

 

I saw on IG of a legit plane spotter page in Japan a take-off and landing sequence shot at NAF Atsugi. It was said to be for a film. Probably being filmed by Top Gun's Second Unit Production crew. They used a Boeing EA-18G Growler on the said sequence tho.

Positive? lol Maybe the reactions aren't as bad as Thundercats Roar, but not too many are liking it.

 

 

Actually the few screenshots out there have mixed reactions, but I have observed that people are less harsh on She Ra than Thundercats Roar.

 

It's like seeing a refreshed look of Magical Princess Holy Up. I am suspecting that the writers want a younger audience for this reboot. Hoping it does not become anything like Teen Titans Go (or any reboot that Cartoon Network comes up with).
