>>149530538In the past I thought the idea of doing a series set in the future was interesting, like theoretically, and so I get the appeal of it happening for real. But the more info that's coming about it, the less and less I'm into it. It's mostly the decisions behind the scenes that aren't working for me, like choosing to write off/recast certain characters, rather than the actual plot/show which I guess we just don't know enough about yet, but either way I'm not optimistic despite loving the original.
I actually think the best time to do a new series (probably just like a miniseries or a one-off special) could've been like 2017-2021ish, when there were still current event things that could be commented on but more of the VAs were still alive and maybe everyone wouldn't have been quite so fanatical about making sure every VA's race matches the character's (I'm fine with the practice for completely original characters but it's disappointing to see somebody like Breckin Meyer just completely lose an entire role, unless he just wasn't interested in returning, IDK). But apparently that Apu documentary came out like 2017 so I guess even then there was probably a desire to play it safe.
But yeah my main point is that an ideal time to do any type of revival passed a while ago, and sadly there'd probably never be a "perfect" one anyway since Brittany Murphy died so soon after the end of the original.
