We are a fickle society. We clamor for new, original content in one breath and with our other, order tickets to the latest installment of an ongoing franchise. I do it. I’ve watched all of the Fast and Furious movies. All the comic book movies. Every iteration of Batman…
I’ve watched Peter Parker’s uncle die more times than Peter Parker… but I still go.
If we truly don’t want reboots and sequels to continue to thrive, we have to stop feeding the beast. We’d have to quit going.
But then, what would we complain about? Right?
