X-Files reboot

[Deleted member 484047]

Doesn't matter if the cast is diverse, if the writing is good I'll watch it.

I just have 0 faith that they can put together a proper writing team together that can do the original any justice at all.

A big part of the series was Mulder and Scully. Replace them regardless of who with, its no longer the X Files and will deservedly tank.

 

[Andy Capp]

Sigh. There's not a single original idea left anywhere? Just going to dip into the remake pool again and again, hm? Sad.

 

[Fedor>Cain]

FBI agents Eddie Bravo and Tom Delounge

Billy Corgan as the smoking man

My guess is it will try and lean very heavy into some kind of conspiracy arc as I think thats easy to do with only so so writting provided the production generally is of high quality.

People point to the X-files birthing that kind of TV but for me its actually more an example of 80's/90's style sci fi were shows had strong one off episodes and a lot of diversity of tone which needed a lot of great writters as the original had.

I love how racists expose themselves every time a crappy remake of a show or movie is announced and act like racism is OK because woke people are scum too.

Everything was just in his head.

I feel like whenever they see a dip in revenues they haul out the TV guide from 1979 or some shit and open it to a random page. There, that's the next one--Diff'rent Strokes giggity, yeah with an all gay cast--brilliant!

In the lounge thread @Cajun posted about someone who appeared on Magnum PI and when I looked it up out of curiosity, sure enough, there's a remake of it on now. Ugh.

Yea, it's easy and cheap to just recycle that old shit. Capitalism 1,2,3.

But at least in the Magnum PI remake there's a pretty hot actress . . .

If you say so. I've no idea.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Smart move. Love seeing these remakes. I’m sure there will be some crying about it, but still.


Edit: ooops. Looks like the crying started already.

 

[spamking]

I say so . . .

 

[HereticBD]

Was the recent reboot/reunion with the original cast even successful? Seems like it kinda just came and went, without much fanfare.

 

[USA!USA!]

I'd probably watch as long as its not too far out of control. I love me some aliens.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Now we are going to see more social cues like in the pilot to The Lone Gunman

 

[Limeade]

Should have never made season ten and beyond.

 

[curryjunkie]

Let the triggering commen....oh, it's already started, carry on...
