And re-treading old plot beats doesn’t advance the story, it just re-treads the same ground. If it’s gonna be a remake, at least have the guts to just have it be a remake. Pretending it’s a sequel while acting like an underachieving high schooler plagiarising but with different pronouns and proper nouns doesn’t advance anything.

Then again, as an eight year old I thought Phantom Ménage copied A New Hope too much, so The Force Awakens coming out when I was an adult was even worse.
