I know this idea of “rebooting” has taken hold among some film makers (and their customers), but I find it hard to really accept when:

1) you recreate previous theme music;
2) integrate older characters whose backstory is, even tangentially, associated with previous stories.

To me, “rebooting” means that the producers simply want to make more money by cashing in on a “brand”, without having to do the heavy creative work of creating a new brand.
