What most fans want is a repeat of the original, only better.  They often want bad things from the original fixed, but they often want the remake to fit close to the original.  But many producers or directors want to put their own stamp on things.  Maybe they don\u2019t like the source material, or they want to subvert expectations by massively changing characters or stories in ways they consider fresh and brave.  This is rarely popular with fans of the original work.  Though this can garner new fans who never liked the original at all.  And when fans of the original complain that the remake isn\u2019t true to the source, the new fans publicly ridicule the old fans as \u201cnot real fans,\u201d or as \u201ctoxic fans.\u201d  These bad feelings negatively impact the remake\u2019s popularity and profitability, which is not good at all for anybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making remakes of popular properties can be difficult.
