Reply to comment by Ghostofjemfinch in After watching a few videos on the source of the real Men In Black conspiracy from which the comedy movie is based off on do you think they should reboot the movie and make it into more of a horror science fiction movie? by herewego199209

With the exception of the Northman, can’t you see how you’re voting (with your dollars) for exactly the thing you say you wish Hollywood would “fucking stop” doing?

With the exception of the endless DC/WB reboots because they can't get their shit together, adapting existing comic book IP is not remaking old movies, that's just a newer variation on adapting popular books for the big screen.

As a child of the 70s/80s I can't get enough of seeing my old comic books brought to life on the big screen. Thats something every fan has dreamt about for decades. We just happen to be in a time where doing that is finally possible.

I'm not saying all the Marvel content is top-notch but neither was the source material. They were comic books for kids, not collections of Shakespearean sonnets.
