Jurassic Park isn’t far behind though.
They did, didn’t they? They made 2 movies, then like 2 decades later they made a mediocre reboot that made all the CHUDs mad because wamens and that was the end of it. Hollywood learned they can’t just keep milking the same franchises over and over and they’ve returned to making original content since then. Or so I would assume, I haven’t been to a movie theatre in over a decade.
it was rebooted again a few years ago with Paul Rudd and one of the kids from Stranger Things, it even got a sequel that came out this year. this time the ghosts are cold or something
Have they stopped making Terminator sequels/prequels yet? How many silly time travel branches can they churn out? Terminator 2 was basically a high budget remake of the original Terminator with some plot tweaks, both were excellent. I think I watched 2-3 more and they were all forgettable.
Hopefully, I just looked at the NATOpedia page and there hasn’t been a new movie since 2019 and all the planned sequels have been scrapped. A Terminator anime series is apparently premiering on Netflix in a couple of weeks, which at least sounds more interesting than ”here’s John Connor again”.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles wasn’t bad, at least.
One franchise I’m surprised works so well revived is the Caped Crusader reboot of Batman TAS. Still got a lot of the old magic
I really wish they would make a Batman Beyond live-action series. They could even make it lean leftwing with Terry McGinnis being a working class nobody.
Of course, if we did get a Batman Beyond, it’d be “Judge Dredd unironically.”
The genderswapped Ghostbusters was fun. I feel like we need the 80s vibe of cynical centerism to make it fun. Plus Dan Akroid is a great writer that was insane before the coke. He thought he was making a documentary then the good SNL writers sanded the rough edges and punched it up. I don’t think we could get that today. There are fornsure some writers that have the same flair but the studios wouldn’t ever approve it.
