While you are certainly right that many reboots fall into "uninspired money-grab" territory, it wasn't necessarily my intention to imply that the Max Headroom reboot will suck.
It might suck - but it might also turn out to be quite good. I don't know.
But regardless of it's quality - I just can't see it having the same sort of bite.
Achieving the same level of bite would require the jokes and themes to be updated to apply to the current day media landscape.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoI agree with this and would add that updating the themes/jokes to the modern media landscape will not likely have the same bite as they did in the original. This is because modern media today is chock full of self-aware critiques, whereas back then this type of thing was less common and felt edgier because of it. My expectations are low, but I will check it out if they make it - hope reigns.
