Why is rebooting the characters a bad thing? The rich comics universe shows that there are endless stories to tell with these same characters. It's true that a reboot could be a worse take on a character, but plenty of reboots -- Daredevil, Nolan's Batman, and more yet to come -- are welcome reexaminations of their heroes.
Audiences won't get bored as long as their are good stories to tell.
- therobot24 11y agoThank you. The easiest analysis is that people will move on to something else. I must have read it a hundred times (at least!) in the last month alone. Based on a few 'superhero' examples, clearly, a reboot can work: Box Office (in millions of dollars): -Spiderman 2002: $821 -Spiderman 2012: $757 -Batman 1989: $411 -Batman Begins 2005: $374 -Hulk 2003: $245 -The Incredible Hulk 2008: $263 -Robocop 1987: $100 -Robocop 2014: $242
- smusings 11y agoRebooting is not a bad thing. It isn't something that I mind at all, unless it is done in mass. I mentioned this in another comment, but I am worried we may get into a situation where every other movie is a reboot or origin story. I would not mind soft-reboots such as Kate Bishop Hawkeye, Bucky Barnes Captain America, Dick Grayson Batman, or even Miles Morales Spider-Man.
