Our Very Boring Reboot Dystopia

[@KaiDelmare]

This is technically the second in a series of three (with the AI video being the first), but I'm PROBABLY gonna do an unrelated deep dive video in the interim -- something a little more positive than the last two lol. Thanks for hanging in there through the delays!

Foster’s Home got a spinoff announced and McCracken seems to be… bitter.

It’s interesting to see how long film companies have been relying on adaptations and reboots. Also fun fact; The Godfather is an adaptation 😊

I always feel a little guilty when I end up liking a reboot, because I'm watching something that's already been done when like you said, there could be some new creative idea there instead. I have my own beloved IPs I can't get enough of, but I feel like we should avoid constantly allowing the works that have already "made it" to take the stage which keeps any upstarts from having their own opportunities. Viewers are going to get tired of the same thing over and over, and creators are going to lose their spirit because they know anything new is going to be shoved aside for what has already worked in the past. An old guard that never gets changed. I'd love it if instead of continual full-on reboots we had old beloved works showing up more as cameos, easter eggs, tribute episodes, and their own little shorts kind of like those more recent Mickey Mouse cartoons. They can continue to be around as long as people want them, but don't let them become tired eternally-reanimated primary feature spotlight hogs. But hey, if they keep making money, I don't see how things will change.

The one silver lining of positive thinking I have on this (and other issues) is that it all seems inescapable and overwhelming because we're currently the ones living through it, whereas for past eras we have the benefit of hindsight, trash (even so called "disposable") art from The Good Ol Days sank to the bottom while today we remember the stuff that was good (at least in an exaggerated way, of course). Thats why we talk about how omg 90s anime was so much better! And while in some aspects that may be true, the 90s had so much garbage that was quickly forgotten once it wasn't immediately relevant anymore. Otherwise, though, I don't have anything else to add to the video because I do agree. I think in the future we'll look back to today with the benefit of hindsight on what was good and bad, but in the immediate moment? Man it sucks to be alive right now in many ways, being an artist included.

The reboot of the Rugrats really rubbed me the wrong way, just in concept. It's a show for kids, right? Why would kids under 10 now be familiar with this cartoon from the 90s and early 2000s? Why put those same babies in the 2020s when you could have done something creatively interesting and let those characters grow up? Beyond All Grown Up, the final frontier for the babies, and make the show about *their* kids! Alas.

Dang, 16 pitches from an industry great all turned down? Like you mentioned, the industry already seems to be moving away from superhero movies (if only slightly), making room for more novel newer stories. If anything I'd assume movies are where creatives will flock to since TV is still very obsessed with either reboots or prestige shows.

[@soniadavis7929]

big fan of how you humour mixes with the facts you present, very enjoyable video! keep up the good work!

[@NikkiLayne]

Oh, no! Late stage Capitalism and corporate monopolies are slowly choking the life out of the cinema and television industries, leaving them withered husks of their former selves? Well, at least we still have music and video games... 😭

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Games and music were pretty much ahead of the curve when it comes stomping out creativity.

[@averypaledog]

no idea why but i thought you said "mismanagement and murders" at first

[@geovanniramos9112]

Great content! Well spoken and funny!

[@GreenEyedDazzler]

One word that kept coming up when you were talking about the reboots is “reliable” which makes me think that these reboots are making enough money to be more profitable than new ideas can you blame the creators when that’s what the demand is there’s clearly no demand for new ideas from customers I don’t understand why movie goes see watches complain when they’re the ones watching the stuff and making it reliable income for the studios 😢

[@jennyjams2343]

first video of yours I've seen; reflects my thoughts well. keep it up!

[@Kylieguestdraws]

Still liking every second ❤

[@fightingmedialounge519]

7:20 it more so had for finales.

[@jaywhangmakes]

After watching this video, all I have to ask. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? You can't just sit there and doom and gloom about it. And is this video monetized?

This is doing something about it. Spreading the word and making people aware of the issues that happen behind the scenes help shape people's perception of the problem. And I really hope the video is monetized because it deserves every penny it makes.

[@jaywhangmakes]

Did it encourage people to make more better arts? I'd rather invest my money and resources into helping artists to make original arts, rather than watching this video.

[@NebulaRanger]

First of all, you still chose to comment on this video. The algorithm doesn't care if your comment is negative, engagement is engagement. Second, can't people just share opinions anymore? Does every video have to be a mission statement according to you?

[@fightingmedialounge519]

She's not really saying anything that has already been spoken about.
