If there’s one thing that can be guaranteed of a Disney led x-files reboot, it’s that whatever happens, Disney will manage to make a flop and massive financial loss
They will probably make it too cliche
There is nobody who can create anything close that chemistry they used to have. Just leave it alone.
This show is always ready to go. Doggett and Reyes were also great.
Oh FFS! Disney is out there to destroy everything anyone ever enjoyed.
Disney’s casting : lets make everyone gay, black, non binary and woke and political
LeFox Mulder and Dana Storm Scully face off against the Soy Faced Vaping Man.
Seeing what Disney has done to everything else they have bought, no thank you.
Please efing stop Disney. Everything you touch is garbage.
We don't want a reboot - we want the original story to get a proper end.
It all boils down to the writing. Good writing=good show
X-Files is product of its time. It can not be rebooted today with different actors.
It could be rebooted with the correct writing and staff. I doubt this will be it
If Mulder and Scully aren't in the reboot, it won't be worth watching 🥺
No no no just no
Anything that Disney does these days is total crap and it will fail. I will not watch and support Disney
Chris Carter introduced two agent that could have replaced Mulder and Scully in running the X-Files in the tenth season. These actors should be given the chance. I think a reboot could be successful as long as Chris Carter is at the helm and Disney doesn't restrict viewership to Disney Plus subscribers.
They Should call the new show "The Why Files" ... And certainly don't include any straight white men.
Instead of a reboot, just make it a continuation. Mulder and Scully(and the rest of the old cast) are retired and a new duo(or group?) gets put in charge of the X-Files. The old cast can make cameo appearances from time to time, but the focus will be on the new ones. Maybe bring in a few of the original "monster of the week" cases where the new team consults M&S on how they handled it.
The "pass the baton" approach would be better than trying to recast the characters themselves.
That's what a reboot is... it is a continuation of the original series. For example, George Lucas intended for Star Wars to only be 6 books and 6 movies. Disney bought it and rebooted it, giving us more movies.
@@lepayen a reboot is starting over, not a continuation.
If Disney could get good writers (haha...) and great directors (hahaha...) and hire the very best actors (yea, right), this could be a good idea. The problem is of course, well, Disney. The company has completely lost it and would not know quality even if it smacked them over their heads. The leads will be hired based on tick-boxes, the writers hired based on skin colour, and the directors will be diversity hires no one has ever heard of. This will be a complete failure. It will tank completely. Calling it now.
Oh god, Disney is going to ruin my X-Files now??? PLEASE STOP!
no, the original x files are save.
this is only one different damage 😂
The problem is that it's Disney
cancel this please. stop rebooting classic shows
Closest thing to X-F I think was Fringe. That show was amazing.
That show sucked. I don't even know anyone who watched it, or heard of it. But everyone I know watched X-Files
It was a good show despite JJs involvement. The constant internal rebooting was annoying but overall it was an enjoyable show.
X Files getting a reboot just smacks of Disney desperation and creative bankruptcy.
30 year fan here: the only thing realistic to do would be to recast. Recasting will not work however because even a Terminator could not save the show during the brief recasting they tried to do before. It's why Mulder and Scully came back to finish the last few seasons. After witnessing Disney's RECENT efforts at shows and movies; I have ZERO faith that Disney could do it right. Disney needs hire creative people to create properties and stop being lazy.
The show is always ready to go. It only needs good writing this time and hopefully they don't make it too cliche by making the agenda LGBTQ activists.
The problem is the fact that it was ever discussed.
X-Files too??? WHY??
I loved this show but now we have the internet, phones, and so much technology that it wouldn't be the same.
“I just spoke to a young man… Ryan Coogler… who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast. So he’s got his work cut out for him, because we covered so much territory."
X Files reboot with diverse cast, made by Disney, no info on the actual story. That's all I need to know.
We want the characters just like them not another strange guy !! Scully and a new guy No Way I will not see it !
If the original cast for Scully and Mulder isn't in the series or aren't the main characters, then an absolute NO!!!
Unless William is hiding in plain sight and becomes an agent…
Invent a new series ! With Alien theme not the same one !
Bad idea. Let it go. Gilovny can never be replaced nor their chemistry reinvented.
I think that it would be better for The X Files reboot to feature two new young agents being assigned to the X Files after Mulder and Scully have moved on. Basically, it would be, " The X Files, The Next Generation." I love the original X Files television series, and I also look forward to the reboot.
The x files needs to cover popular “conspiracies” and make the government the ones behind them.
I don’t think Disney will do that.
Great! Another re-boot. Says no one
Gillian confirmed something is happening and she would be up for returning in whatever capacity needed. Ryan Coogler isn't going to let his new pet project get cancelled.
I thought bringing in the characters played by Lauren Ambrose and Robbie Amell as the new agents at the FBI and Mulder and Scully being on the outside as assets ( like Deep Throat and X) could have worked but not for very long i suppose. I'm not sure a reboot is warranted.
Nah, if they brought in the other 2 to replace Mulder and Skully, then there would be no need for Mulder and Skully as assets, if anything, they would be a liability to the new agents.
Knowing Disney, theh will prob ad diversity and woke to the reboot, Mulder is prob gender neutral, Sculley is prob black and Skinner is prob a Asian female, the aliens needs to be better represented with 70 different genders, while ciggie smoking man need to promote no smoking
Make Mulder the new director. Problem solved.
That wouldn't make sense. Mulder is always rubbing against the grain, pissing off his employers. That's why they brought in Skully in the first place, because they wanted to get rid of Mulder. Skully was supposed to find something worth firing him. There's no way the people higher up than Skinner would ever let him be the director.
@@lepayen Mulder would work better as the new X/Deep Throat.
@@tcaudiobooks737 That actually sounds good, considering the way the series went.
I thought Gillian Anderson's acting in the reboot was lifeless , she had no bounce like she had in the original series .She had tong and cheek in the original and she would give mulder a kick up the backside if she thought he was being over the top. She was too luvy duvy in the reboot .
The question is, how bad is it going to be?
Disney will ruin adult subject matter. This sounds like a project that will never happen. So they bought 20th Century Fox. Does that mean hundreds of movies i watch on my ridiculously overpriced NY premium cable will lose Broadcast tights on HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz, encore
THE XFILES NOW ON COMET TV 8:00PM-11PM
why Disney? There has to be a network other than Disney that can do this and reboot from their last one with original cast without the new version of Moulder &Scully with their son.... Please tell me they can do this.
Trying to do X-Files with different actors would be as insane as trying to do Quantum Leap, Too Close For Comfort, MacGyver, Charmed, Doogie Howser, Night Court, Magnum PI or countless others without their original casts. And nobody would do that. Constantly.
The xfiles reboot must address agi.
I had the biggest crush on skully when I was a teenager, lol
great - another franchise for Disney to ruin
Recast is fine, or simply find new name agents looking at paranormal cases. Quantum Leap reboot had new characters while mentioning the old and went 2 seasons. Hawaii 5-0 went 10 seasons in reboot. Magnum PI reboot is 5 or 6 seasons. They need to find really good actors and great writing to make it work with interpersonal character building like the old show. If the writing is not good, it will fail.
as long as the main characters have as much chemistry as the original Mulder and Scully, i think it'll do fine. still wont touch the original but would be worth watching. the casting is deff what will make and break the show.
Please don't. Make something new.
The principal actors must be in their 60s, now.
2 feature films
Yeah- but some probably want to forget about the second one lol
NO NEW ACTORS ! It will not match !
I’ll watch it even if it’s mediocre, as long as it feels kinda like the original.
*Two feature films
We don’t speak about the second.
I didn't really like it the first time I saw it but with multiple viewings I've enjoyed it more. It's still not nearly as good as the first movie which I love and think is really underrated.
No one asked for it, no one wants it, no one will watch it.
👾👾👽👾👾
The previous x files didnt try to be funny, and could be very funny, the new x files tries to be funny, and was never ever funny.
I hope they have serious characters.
I'd be okay with the reboot as long as it's NOT M&S. Tell me NEW STORIES. New characters, new conspiracies, different stories, different characters.
Noooo!! Really?? Just let it die. Dont ruin more canon Disney
Boooooooooooh!!!!
😨😨
I think this show will benefit from a reboot. Introduce this show to a new generation
The success was because David was a panty wetter
Wait, what? X-Files reboot? Maybe instead of a reboot a follow-up or continuation with different protagonists (I know the original don't want to continue playing the character)
