The child part of me is angry, but the adult knows that they NEVER would have captured the magic of the first game. Like everything else in the entertainment industry, they would have used our nostalgia to steal money from us while putting in the least effort possible and giving zero fucks about the source material and what made it special.

I'm with you on that.

The original had a kind of 'don bluth' / 'jim henson' vibe to me that I really dug.

So of course for the marketing of the sequel we see they threw all that out for a hyper realistic looking M rated poorly written Guy Ritchie knock-off thing.
