#tik tok is an actual fucking blight to this earth

[worm-entity]

The new interview with the vampire really pisses me off. This has been happening to a lot of media, where remakes, or film adaptions of games and books, are made. And they are genuinely, utterly shit. The source material is fine as it is, it’s all that it needs to be and people need to appreciate that. Sometimes things should be appreciated and embraced for what they are. But greedy corporations are too lazy to pay anyone to work on actually good films or shows. They want to buy the rights to something popular and make a billion reboots or sequels, without giving two shits about the source material. This is happening to lotr, interview with the vampire, princess bride, and so many other beloved books and movies. People will try to go “oh it’s because they want to bring it to a younger audience or reimagine it.” Then tell me, why aren’t any of the remakes, or film adaptions, any good? Why do they feel so heartless? Why don’t they do anything creative or new? These are made solely for the purpose of profit. Good artwork requires time, effort, and mostly, paying people. And god forbid any companies do that. So instead, they remake things, make them objectively worse, and then a whole bunch of tik tok kids start acting like they know everything about it. It becomes so utterly detached from its source material, and it’s heartbreaking. People then associate the new with the old, and ultimately people fail to realize how good the original was. So many films are recycled content, that lose all the heart and soul of the original. What once was a grand sculpture gets eroded away into a pebble, and then ash. Companies aren’t your friend, remember that. It’s okay to enjoy these reboots, but please keep these things in mind as you watch it. And pirate if possible.
