The problem isn’t reboot culture. It is the lack of originality

We live in a world of reboots and remakes and on one hand, I’m not mad about it. On the other, we’re missing the balancing act that should come along with that. Like having original projects outweigh the rebooted ones.

I love revisiting worlds and characters I’ve loved my entire life. But I also am a big fan of exploring new stories at the same time. We used to have a bit more of a balance with original storytelling far outweighing the reboots and remakes that we see today. So when we talk about “reboot culture” it is important to note that both are good and great and we should enjoy them but we also don’t need ONLY remakes and reboots. Get it?
