That's what I don't get why do you care? Just ignore remakes, reboots, and sequels if you dislike them and enjoy what you got before it's what I do if I dislike a new entry.

    They’ll fail in 2500 when the United States of Disney kicks off World War D to unite the world under the Iron Fist of the mouse.

    Deadpool 2 had diminishing returns and xforce was Deadpool 3 with a shifted focus. By your logic Xforce was part of the problem. I dont think so but by your logic. Anyway They canceled the current xforce but Iger said it wouldn't make much sense to mess with Deadpool and Reynolds wants deadpool 3 to be a team movie. So we could still get a Xforce movie or soemthing in that vain. Depends on what characters feigie wants for the MCU. But it will be developed post Dinsey buy out.

    Frozen,Zootopia,Moana,Inside out,Wreck it Raloh,Coco,Big hero 6. Disney is still a trend setter.

    TL;DR

    But I'm glad I suppose that you have a place where you are welcome to blow off steam like this, even if it strikes me personally as "I don't like something so everyone should stop doing it."

    The move to get 21st Century Fox and its film library seems to be steps towards Disney seeing what was ahead. That the digital landscape with streaming was becoming the future so they needed more of a library for streaming plus a bigger slice of the Hulu pie. It was a move to do that as well as get more IP's to use as well.

    Every big company stumbles at some point. I can see why Disney did this move because they likely knew they had to take advantage of what the future was going to.

    It's just Pirates should had ended with the third film and could had been a trilogy instead of running the franchise into the ground and like i said, your just gonna keep flopping. It was better to have it stay as a trilogy than become a zombiefied franchise as once you keep flopping, it should send studios the message to let some things rest in peace and do new franchises.

    And i just feel Toy Story 4 is unnecessary because the story came to a fine end with the third film and it's ok to do specials and shorts of Toy Story than drag it into the ground. And with Cars sequels, like i said, diminishing returns, same for any non-Incredibles Pixar sequels.

    One diminished returns doesn't equal flop you can make a lot off money and not make what you made before. Again though why do you care? Just ignore them unless you're a Disney share holder.

    Deadpool 2 was actually a success while Solo was a flop.

    I hope the next Star Wars doesn't do to well and the spin-offs too, i'm done with Star Wars and i am a high standards person and a passionate film lover, i felt the Star Wars franchise ended with Return of the Jedi and you cannot strike lightning in a bottle twice. And it's just i think elder cinema should be respected, acknowledge and all like you do with your grandparents.

    Screw this! Pirates is a DEAD franchise. Bury it. There's no need for this and NOBODY asked for the upcoming reboot. Just these fans who like any of the garbage Hollywood shills out. I don't give a **** if people say I hate everything. Hate is GREAT, we need more hate! At least it's genuine and can't be faked. Hate for Star Wars (Post Return), hate for Star Trek (new Star Trek), hate for SJWs, hate for nostalgia, hate for hack writers and directors, hate for every remake and reboot, and hate for these studio executives who greenlight these shitty movies and disrespect the actual moviegoers IE me with youtube film critics Ocpcommunications and Ramboraph4life! Like Palpatine would say "Let the hate flow through you."

    Even remaking past films as this remake trend will eventually like i said will get diminishing returns as Dumbo looks like the latest Burton flop. I want new things even from Disney!

    Once again, I'll remind you that just because you don't like something doesn't mean it needs to cease to exist. Being the self-proclaimed high standards person and passionate film lover that you are, there are plenty of things out there for you to watch that you can & will enjoy despite the existence of the other things that you wouldn't.

    Just to say this once...

    I'm sure that no one asked for The Thing From Another World to be rebooted, and that there was no real need.

    Still incredibly happy that someone did it anyway.

    Never mind The Punisher(which you seem to be a fan of).

    I don't consider The Thing to be a "remake" of the 1951 Thing from Another World film but a separate new adaptation of the 1938 novel and an excellent adaptation unlike the 1951 film which ignored the novel.

    Exactly.

    It is a reboot.

    True reboots are:

    Casino Royale since it truly started the series from scratch, adapting the first James Bond book Ian Flemming wrote (the only time the book was accurately adapted for the big screen), and ignored everything that came before (though Judi Dench reprising her role as M was confusing in this context).

    Spider-Man Homecoming did the Batman Begins route and ignoring 2 established series and being part of the MCU.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes due to the fact that it tells the origins of how the apes took over out world but in a completely different manner than the movie it closely emulates, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

    Star Trek is another example as it reboots the series back to basics in an alternate universe.

    Man of Steel is another example that ignores the previous Superman movies even the retcon sequel Superman Returns. It is a new take on the Superman legend.
    You point to literary characters/stories with new film adaptations and call them "True Reboots" it's your own examples.
