I have too much to say on these topics to leave in a comment. However, it's good to see you back and doing your thing dude! I hope the new place fits ya well. Thanks for the food for thought.
I mostly agree. I'm willing to try new angles--I liked both Netflix He-Man shows despite most loving the 80s stuff. And I'm willing to say an IP passed me by. I also very much think certain properties should just be a part of the past. But I do get a little bit irked when the official continuity returns and tells me the lives of all the heroes I liked from the original sucked since we last saw them (a la Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and Bill and Ted). I want the world where Luke, Han, and Leia lived happily ever after in a universe without the Empire or Sith. For almost 40 years I could hold that as an option, but now I'm told by the rights holders and fans alike that is not an option (or I have to play ostrich and stick my head in the sand).
It's understandable to want those things. And you can actively choose to have that head canon nobody will tell you otherwise. It's the vile hatred that comes out of people's mouths that I'm, quite frankly, tired of.
