Some stories can arrive with a bang that resonates with everybody. Continuations or remakes of those stories sometimes they do well. Sometimes they do not. Many of the most popular stories have had many continuations or remakes. He-Man. GI Joe. Thundercats. Transformers. Star Trek. Star Wars. These have all had some good and some bad in their extended universes. It is especially hard for a creator to make a good continuation after a less popular one spoils interest. This generally involves getting back to the basics of what made the story popular to begin with. Maybe bring back an old villain or hero the fans know well, or create someone entirely new who putters around the outside of the original story. A well done example of this can rekindle the nostalgia that fans feel and bring a flagging story back into popularity again. Such efforts should be rewarded. I have spoken.
