So long as a reimagining doesn't permanently supplant the original, I find it a nice addition/alternate take.

Yeah, that's the big thing. Like Lucas trying to kill the OOT. *grrr*

Reminds me of some of the militant types that were on the original Iron Chef, trying to say that it's wrong to go beyond the most traditional of dishes. Yet they belong to a school with 1,000 chefs doing nothing but traditional dishes. People will never forget the foundations, but they seem to think they will.

well, I'm going to bet that due to the revival of Guys and Dolls, I am probably never going to be able to see Guys and Dolls as it was originally done. Whenever I've seen it at a local theater, they always do the revival version.

Warb I'm going to respectfully disagree. So long as a reimagining doesn't permanently supplant the original, I find it a nice addition/alternate take.

well, that is fine and understandable. But I can't help wondering how Shakespeare would react if he were to come back to life and see some of these reimaginings
