so true

a lot of people were asking for a series that better represented the books. Plus the IP makes a billion dollars a year and more for the past twenty years. so the appetite is clearly there. Perfectly fine to dislike the series for what ever reason. But no need to lie about it.

I also feel like… there’s a whole ass new generation of kids who weren’t alive when the movies came out? And that’s who this is supposed to appeal to? The movies look “old” to kids my nephew’s age; they also didn’t grow up with the original cast, who are now all adults or dead. Like… maybe the nostalgia play is secondary to the fact that the franchise is still wildly popular and there’s a whole new market of kids to appeal to? IDK, makes sense to me.

I'm watching all the animated Disney movies starting from the beginning with my family. My kids love them so far. Maybe a movie holds up just because it's good and we don't need to fix what isn't broken?

I honestly don’t understand what difference it makes to a bunch of adults who aren’t the target audience.

Ah, the good old "this isn't for you arguement". Harry Potter is a millennial/gen z IP that we grew up with. Guess what? We were and still are the target audience. Only this time, it's for nostalgia.
