You have no idea how much I fucking despise this new wave of not creating original IP. I understand why studios do it, why gamble on something new when people are going to see something they already know? Even if it's trash, you're going to see it anyway cough Last Jedi cough.

I never used to mind re-imagining pre-existing IP, but I swear it is the exception and not the rule anymore. I would make the argument that movies now are on average much better than they used to be (due in part of budgets being insanely high for a few productions instead of many smaller budget films), but I feel like I'm not watching anything new and inspired anymore. There used to be a lot of trash, but that was fine because the films that stood out were amazing.

At least the original IPs coming out now are half decent. Shape of Water, La La Land and John Wick come to mind. It also gives me time to watch some of the classics I have never gotten around to before, started watching The Next Generation recently and just loving it.
