Make Creativity Great Again! Revive the Art of Entertainment!
by JeetKuneDoFanatic | created - 7 months ago | updated - 3 days ago | PublicI am getting seriously fed up with all the remakes and revivals being made in the entertainment industry. Most of the time, the remakes and revivals were being made for the sake of promoting wokeness, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, The Terminator, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, and many other beloved franchises. But then the unwoke fought back by bringing us revivals and sequels that were actually great, such as Top Gun: Maverick and Cobra Kai from The Karate Kid.
However, I wasn't thrilled at all when they're going to give us more live-action remakes based on incredible titles such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Yu Yu Hakusho, and One Piece. It was bad enough to tolerate live remakes based on The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast, and The Little Mermaid, but now we have to tolerate live remakes based on anime and cartoon shows?! This overload of remakes and revivals is seriously getting out of hand. I don't care if the live remakes aren't woke. Remakes only show that our so-called writers are nothing but a bunch of lazy bums who can't create jack-squat and focus more on cashing in on something they never created. And screw off the multiverse garbage, it's nothing but a lame excuse to turn their brains off and throw creativity out the window.
What in the world ever happened to originality? What happened to actually being creative? The entertainment industry has forgotten the importance of promoting ART and telling the TRUTH. To make matters even worse, the entertainment industry will focus on artificial intelligence to try to create stories instead of having actual human beings create brand new stories to share with us. Don't waste your time and money on remakes, revivals, and sequels that drag on for too long. Here are original movies and television shows that are not based on anything already done. In this list, there will be no remakes, revivals, or unnecessary sequels. There will be no movies or TV shows based on a novel, a comic book, a manga, a videogame, a toy, or anything else we loved for a very long time. They're all created from the very heart!
