If you think about it, before TV, almost all stories were reboots and reruns. We’re just regressing to the mean.

I try and make this general point often but it falls on deaf ears. They'll say "Hollywood only makes remakes now!" but ignore how from day one they've filmed adaptations and churned out new versions every 5-10 years. There was never an era where it wasn't commonplace in film

True, numerous drivers of this but one I see is millennials getting the reigns of older IP they liked and grew up with which they then remake for the next gen or themselves depending on what the owner thinks. But in other ways it doesn't feel that different from the 30s remakes
