Yes, the continuous repetition of parts and remanufacture kill creativity, pleasure and new ideas. What is the use of watching the same movie, but repeated again and over again with the same characters and the same plots for fear of falling revenues. This kills all the new and creative thought that we have become severely lacking. Production companies have become material and only fair by repeating and exploiting the nostalgia of the masses. The audience has reached the stage of boredom and saturation of repeated ideas. We need new stories of talented and creative infidels. This exists, but it is not exploited only for fear of material damage, such as superhero films or even films that have reached their tenth parts without any change and continuous repetition. This is very frustrating.

Look, I get the frustration with endless reboots. I really do. But calling for a total stop is like saying we should ban all cover songs because some of them are bad.
The real problem isn't reboots themselves — it's that some are lazy cash grabs. But here's the thing: when they're done right, reboots can breathe new life into old ideas. Think about "The Batman" or "Mad Max: Fury Road." Those aren't just copies — they're fresh takes that honor the originals while building something new.
Without reboots, a whole generation might never discover great stories. My kid wouldn't have cared about old Batman movies, but seeing a modern version sparked her interest in the originals. That's not killing creativity — that's building a bridge between eras.

You cite two successful films, but rare exceptions do not deny the general rule of Hollywood's creative failure. We all see how the audience is tired of repeated ideas, and there are dozens of failed projects because of a fear of innovation. This is not just a financial issue; you are suppressing creative writers from presenting new, bold ideas that ignite the enthusiasm of the new generation. The new generation has the right to get new characters that suit their own time, rather than judging their taste based only on what succeeded decades ago. Furthermore, your comparison to cover songs is flawed. Re-sung songs do not monopolize the music market, whereas big-budget reboots and sequels completely dominate cinema screens, leaving no financial space for original indie films to survive.

Look, HSA9, I get the boredom with superhero movies hitting part 10. That's a fair frustration. But you're drawing a straight line from "some reboots are lazy" to "all reboots should stop." That's like saying every sequel is bad because "Jaws: The Revenge" existed.
Here's the thing — reboots and remakes aren't a monolith. They're a spectrum. On one end, you've got soulless cash grabs. On the other, you've got "The Suicide Squad" or "Dune" — movies that reimagine source material so creatively they might as well be original.
You want new talent? Great. But those talented filmmakers often get their foot in the door by taking an existing IP and making it their own. Without that bridge, the industry gets even more risk-averse, not less. Banning reboots doesn't force creativity — it just narrows the path for new voices to be heard.

First, I am not generalizing or saying" every single sequel is bad based on one
failure. My argument is about Hollywood's current systemic policy that prioritizes safe corporate profits over creative risks. Your argument that sequels and reboots serve as a bridge for new talents is historically and practically incorrect. Hollywood does not trust new filmmakers with multimillion dollar established franchises; instead, they give these massive reboots to already famous directors like Denis Villeneuve with 'Dune' or James Gunn with 'Suicide Squad.' This means reboots actually block new voices rather than helping them. Historically, the greatest filmmakers built their careers on completely original stories, proving that true creativity thrives on fresh concepts, not recycling old ideas.
By forcing the industry to rely on existing IPs, we are not making it safer for new talent; we are making it lazier.
Letting audiences support original cinema is the only way to save the industry, because a system that relies on nostalgia will eventually run out of

You're treating reboots like they're blocking out original films entirely, but that's not how the landscape actually works. Think of it like a forest - reboots are the old trees, sure, but they create the canopy that lets new saplings grow in the shade. Without the guaranteed revenue from established IP, studios wouldn't take risks on stuff like "Everything Everywhere All At Once" or "Parasite." Those got greenlit because blockbuster reboots were paying the bills.
And honestly, your point about new generations deserving their own characters? That's exactly what good reboots do. "The Batman" isn't my dad's Batman. It's a completely different creature that speaks to younger audiences while keeping the DNA intact. You can have both - new characters AND fresh takes on old ones. It's not either/or.
