Some media franchises are better off left untouched, but these seven IPs quite frankly need to get the Hollywood reboots that they deserve.
It seems like every classic media franchise is getting rebooted by Hollywood these days. And given the varying degrees of success, people have grown understandably wary of this ongoing practice.
Despite this, Marvel Studios should arguably bring in fresh faces to play the X-Men, as it can’t rely on fans’ nostalgia for these mutants to forge a new identity in the MCU. Harsh as it may sound, audiences probably shouldn’t bet on Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen sticking around for much longer. The DC Extended Universe This one will surely set off the many toxic Snyderverse fans swarming around on Twitter. While there have been some spectacular stories in the DC Extended Universe over the years, the franchise has repeatedly suffered from studio interference and many conflicting visions. This has led to many critical disappointments with diminishing box office returns, particularly in the last three years.
Despite this, the third film, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, proved the franchise could grow as it built upon Freddy’s dark humor and the frightening potential he carries as a dream demon. An Elm Street reboot can take these even further while finding the right balance between fun and frightening in Freddy’s Funhouse of Horrors.
Alien Like The Terminator franchise, the Alien films only seemed to get worse after the second raised the bar for them all. The prequels and sequels featured many plot points that rubbed audiences the wrong way, with fan-favorite characters facing unceremonious deaths and the Engineers not being explored enough to fit in with the Alien mythos.
