    • Again?

      The basic concept makes sense; you get to modify the characters to reflect modern interests, and you can use these decades of backstories as inspiration without having to worry about continuity, questionable story directions, etc.

      Of course, there’s always the danger that they’ll just tell the same stories all over again. But they’re retellings, so they’re inherently different; there’s value in that.

      It can be done badly, of course, but then so can everything else.
