One night, over a whole week before today, I was having a thought about reboots of established franchises, which reminded me of a question submitted by ScionCrimsonWind a while ago asking about my thoughts on the matter. We live in an interesting time where classic franchises are getting revived from the grave, or new interpretations of long-running franchises are popping up left and right. The question is, are these just preying on nostalgia, or are they genuinely trying to find a new audience through a long-lasting IP? I actually ended up having a lot more to say about this subject than I expected, so I hope you enjoy this rather stream-of-consciousness topic...I even used myself and my own work as an example! Curious to hear y'all's thought on this one and perhaps you should expect a sequel to this subject in the very near future!
