Decade of Awesome
I may be the only one who cares about half of this stuff, but I feel the need to start keeping a list, because the 20teens is shaping up to be the BEST EVER for awesome comebacks. Let's see...I'll start with "kind of awesome" and work my way up.
But the number of reboots these days in general seems kind of astounding. Who are all these "They"s, and I wonder how much of their decision-making is being driven by newer ways of collecting and analyzing data? (The capability is ubiquitious, so there's no excuse not to take advantage of it. I certainly hope data is driving a lot of it. ...Says the Data Analyst, self-aware consumer of media and willing taker of surveys. XD) The cynic would probably complain that new creativity is being stifled. Even if it were, I honestly couldn't care less when there's a gleaming list like the aboved dangled in front of me (X3)...But in fact, I think we're actually getting more of EVERYTHING, with the bar to entry being lowered; e.g., YouTube. I am A-OK with More Content.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to tear myself away from the screen and go make dinner. ^_^;
- They're bringing back the good storyline/characters
(meaning Han Solo, hellooooo)from Star Wars - JEM and the Holograms - The original was kinda bad, and I guess they're making a movie, but I'm most excited about the comic because I dig the style so much!
- They're bringing back the Powerpuff Girls!
- They brought back Mr. Peabody & Sherman, and it wasn't too shabby at ALL!
- They're making a new Peanuts movie (with original material, not just a reworking of all of Schulz's lines like almost every animated iteration ever. GASP)
- A new Lion King sequel, of sorts. Now with 100% more lions. (Did not care much for 1.5 D: ) Okay, so it's made for a very young audience, but I'm crossing my fingers that there will be some awesome things about it. Simba and Nala have more dumb
maleoffspring, but at least Kiara isn't retconned. :D - They brought back My Little Pony (as well as the Littlest Pet Shop brand) and made it pretty darn awesome
- Pokemon is awesome again! It might as well be a reboot. :D
- THE X-FILES, WHAT, OMFG -- I am Netflix Binge Watcher (as well as faithful reader of the recent comic book reboot), and you're very, very, very, very welcome!!!! (Come into my hoommmee, David & Gillian...Okay, sorry, that's creepy.)
- DIGIMON (needs no explanation. Certainly the most unexpected of all!!!!)
