I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

What about Neverwinter Nights? 😁

Teen Titans original would be my go to.

They attempted a reboot that didn't hold the the water because it didn't follow the main storyline, or the main personalities. Honestly the fact they used the original voice actors in it was just a slap to the face to the fanbase.

If they rebooted it properly that could defo take off.

Sometimes I wonder if Austin Powers could make another movie where the main heroine he works with is a trans woman.

Also one of the main henchman is a beefy/huge trans man. And there's a scene where Austin tries to kick the henchman in the balls. And the henchman just smiles and laughs and proceeds to beat up Austin.

I couldn't tell ya how the rest of the movie would go but I thought I'd be interesting to see.

The neverending story has not lived up to its name

I would love a Motherland: Fort Salem spin-off show either set in the Cession or in some other part of the world that's not the USA. I could always watch another CSI show, but this time the characters from Miami and New York should be the ones making cameos

This might be a bit obscure, but I want a TV series in the Interstate 76 universe.

Bring back Megaman Volnutt. With Capcom going through remake frenzy nowadays i'm surprised Megaman Legend didn't get mentioned.

some cunt probably has a rosie and jim horror ready to go the second the copyright expires

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

That fucking was a horror when I was wee

SimCity, probably. Skylines 2 is coming around and is headed in the right direction, but it's been a slow burn.

I’m still waiting for Mindhunter, but without Fincher, I don’t know if it will ever be the same.

maybe SG1, but being only 10 episodes and showrunned by gero doesnt give me high hopes, scifi needs proper 20 episodes to flesh out the characters and develop stories, studios penny pinch way too much that sacrifices the quality of many shows. they really shouldve started in a new galaxy, rather than milky way(which already had ori, goauld as the major enemies for the whole series, and a little wraith), which is done to death. if its re imagined series like with bsg. since they mentioned they want to broaden the "audience", sgu did that and it suffered badly. i assume broadening means something similar to sgu original target audience witht he element of trying to keep up with modern issues?

i dont think trek needs anymore reboots, it needs some hibernation, and let someone other paramount/or someone like kurtzman owning the rights to showrun, what paaramount+ is doing is churning out nutrek slop after slop.

How about Max Payne. Those game mechanics have never been copied or revisited. Which is crazy to me.

Spore. I mean, such an ambitious game that was completely hampered by the technology of the time. And never revisited ever again.

Also... Night rider.
