There's a lot to be said about the difference between someone making content vs someone adapting someone else's content for $$ vs someone adapting someone else's content because they grew up with it and loved it. It's how we get where we are with so many IPs (e.g. Star Wars) 1/2

I hope someone does a real dive into that space some day, because I think it's a thing people don't talk about or realize. And it applies to so many of our favorites today. The transition from creator to someone else is so rocky, and so easily misses the original point. 2/2

My biggest example: One big reason Keanu Reeves is revered as a god right now is that the older critics who called him an airhead/stiff actor have been replaced by the generation that grew up on BILL & TED, SPEED, MATRIX, etc.
