Ask Lemmy

Jumper, great film, lots of material already written.

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.

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.

The Expanse

The show didn’t cover the Laconia story line, and given the time that passes before the final three books, we’re coming up on the perfect time to get the same cast back to do it.

The last few books are, in my view, the most compelling part of an already superb story.

The problem is not « what to reboot » it is How to reboot.

There was this late 90s show called Sliders where this team travels to different parallel Earths with different histories. I would like to see that rebooted.

I did enjoy the recent Scrubs reboot.

I would say Firefly but then also there's a chance it could be ruined so I don't really know if it's worth it.

Nice try, Hollywood.

Max Headroom could work, IFF they went full-bore with the mockery of media, corporatism-as-government and cynical view of advertising. Though the desolation inside and outside the cities and the plight of 'blanks' might hit too close to home nowadays as it's pretty much a literal reality now.

I'll take the obvious one: We owe it to ourselves to never stop rebooting the 1990s classic SciFi, "Reboot".

Not a particular franchise, but I miss parody movies like Hot Shots or Airplane. Barring one of those being remade, I'd settle for a reboot of Tremors.

There was a Captain Planet parody with Don Cheadle like 15 years ago which was very much like The Boys + Captain Planet. I think that could actually work well now and have a more mature tone of Captain Planet who is like Homelander.

I feel like Buck Rodgers could get rebooted to today and do well.

I always thought that every 30 years they should reboot back to the future. No connection to the original in terms of production team or cast. The writer and director can’t be old enough to have many memories of the time (Zemeckis and Gale were both 4 in 1955)

Just someone doing their own take on “teenager goes back in time and meets their parents as teenagers”

See how the “past” of 30 years ago compares to the “present” of the previous version

Long term, that could be a really interesting experiment

Space Ghost

I miss black and white. Also I would like to play something like viva piñata.

The world needs more Gex.

Mystery Men

None. People need to move on and create new experiences. Recycling is for garbage.

Space Above and Beyond.

Nice try, Hollywood.
