> it had quite a following until the mid 2000s
That's overselling it quite a bit. It had only a modest following when it was airing (which is partially why it was cancelled), and a portion of those viewers wanted closure, so they kept a candle lit for the renewal of the show. It was never a particularly large fanbase which is evidenced by not only the cancellation but the tepid response to the crowdfund campaign.
Warrior Nun (the live action show based on the comic) was a dog-shit show that had "quite a following", and when it was cancelled there were large scale campaigns to bring it back. Fans went as far as to rent a billboard across the street from Netflix Headquarters in an attempt to pressure them into renewal. I bring this up because that fan base dwarfed the fanbase and vocal support of Undergrads, and it was still an amount that was too little for any network to give a shit about.
I find it admirable that Pete is seeing this through, but the sad reality is that not a whole lot of people actually wanted this, and it's not the sort of thing that will capture a brand new audience. Pete is doing this for Pete.
