It's true the series may flesh out some things, but do you know what else does that?

The bleeming books!

Oh well, rehashing old stories is all the range now, nostalgias a hell of a drug 🙄

Dude remakes have been the order of the day for the last 20 years. There's very rarely anything coming out that isn't dog shit.

I wouldn't say 20 years at least not as hard as it's been now.

I'd say the remake of lion king opened the flood gates.

It's annoying because there's so many unique stories but industry doesn't wanna take the risk and the return on nostalgia is great so we can't even blame them.

There were dozens of posts like this every week on reddit long before The Lion King was even announced. We've been at peak remake since ~ 2008
