And The Crow
Apparently,The Crow has stolen Bordelands' crown as biggest flop. That's impressive.
In my opinion they made a huge mistake in trying to refresh The Crow with a modern Gen Z lens. I think a lot of modern retakes have been done well, but this character is so deeply rooted in that 90s grungy alt rock metal culture that trying to remove him from it just makes him a really bland emo antihero. I personally think they should have leaned hard into the nostalgia factor and cranked the crunchy guitar up to 11 with just a bit of modern freshness. I don't know what musicians would have been appropriate to tackle that in the 2020s.
