The New Avatar Has Revived the Oldest, Dumbest Debate About These Movies — It’s the most consistently successful film franchise of all time. Somehow, it still has its doubters. (slate.com)

I don’t care if it is sci-fi Pocahontas. The first one was pretty. I haven’t seen the other two.

One of my favorite anime series is a pretty clear ripoff of an older series. Fans debate it but it’s crystal clear to most who’ve seen both. And here I am just saying, isn’t it awesome we have both?

I mean obviously if the reused story beats are compelling enough to create a new franchise, people aren’t tired of it. If they were, it wouldn’t sell and they’d stop reusing it.

Oh hey look, we’re getting yet another Robin Hood movie. We got another Count of Monte Cristo last year. It’s fine. People love these stories. They will keep coming as long as they keep selling.
