fucking constant reboot remake reboot remake reboot remake reboot remake!!!!!!!!!! the tv has only been around for like a century you literally cannot be out of ideas already
This is an open secret at this point, everybody who works in the entertainment industry can tell you the execs literally, outright say they do not want original properties anymore. With a new property you have to spend the time and money getting people invested. If you make the 34785th remake and staple some nostalgia on it for good measure, you’ll make bank because there’s already a dedicated group of people to market to. People will watch it if it’s good, because it’s a revival of something they care about. People will REALLY watch it if it’s bad, because hatewatching is almost even more profitable in this day and age. It’s all about getting the biggest return for the smallest financial investment, and nostalgia is MUCH more profitable than original projects. It’s all corporate bullshit in the end.
So anyway, please support the originals who make it in spite of everything, and please especially support independent creators and projects!
Capitalism destroys art
Not only does it destroy art, it destroys artists— The only way you keep anybody passionate enough to keep creating is to support what they make. Sure, there are people who are happy to write, compose, draw, film, photograph, etc. etc. for just themselves, but for a lot of artists, they make things because they want them to be shared in some way, and when you dedicate hours, weeks, months, and sometimes even years of your life towards completing something, having it not be appreciated in any way can be soul crushing.
And yes, the big names in the entertainment industry are the worst examples of it, but you see that behavior replicated and mimicked everywhere by almost everyone. One major example of it is right here on Tumblr, where people who have been on this site for years have been desperately trying to inform newer users on the importance of reblogging posts, and people are sharing artwork, fanfiction, photography, and all kinds of other creations that take them weeks to get 50 likes and maybe 4 or 5 reblogs on their posts. People aren’t willing to support original content among themselves, so- barring all the factors of favoritism in promoting certain media- the industry isn’t willing to do it either because it’s not happening anywhere anymore.
