      *watches MORTAL KOMBAT trailer and reaction* Sort of amazing it took 28 years for this town to realize the bIg sEcReT kEy to video games adaptations was just "do what the game does, but do it earnestly" and not as some winking, obligatory nod - including the story itself.

      The other massive part of this is that gatekeepers / developers are people who grew up with these properties and are now old enough to hold those positions. The difference is everything and if you look at the history of Hollywood, this "20 years later" dynamic happens constantly.

          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

          What would be some other examples of the “20 years later” phenomena? I’m assuming comic book adaptations would be one but what others? It sounds like it’d be a fun history of Hollywood subject to dive into

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reason Keanu Reeves is revered as a god right now is that the older critics who called him an airhead/stiff actor have been replaced by the generation that grew up on BILL & TED, SPEED, MATRIX, etc.
