Oh, no, I can absolutely agree with that. At the same time, I love the sort of continuity this type of production is creating in franchises like The Avengers and every movie around it — it's world-building, and it creates a sense of community, you know? I find it fascinating, this constant recreation. But yeah, it would be nice if it wasn't complemented by a dearth of new works — most of which, I think, are rooted more in independent productions than in big corporate ones — for us to construct upon anew. Unoriginality and lack of talent exist in both cases, unfortunately.

One reboot I'm looking forward to, for instance: the new Spider-Man movie, which looks amazing. I detest both Tobey McGuire's and Kristen Dunst's acting, and it was mostly for the pleasure of watching Spidey flip through the air that I watched the pre-reboot movies; but I've loved Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's works for a while, and they're both excellent actors who seem to be making a really enjoyable and interesting movie (which finally a Peter Parker who's snarky and sassy and Peter instead of, well, emo!boy). Hopefully this time this will be a case of the reboot actually being better than the originals.

I've never seen Korra! I've never seen A:tlA, either, for that matter. They're worth watching, then? I'm a little wary of animated stuff these days.

As for SW&tH, well, damn. I wasn't aiming for it to be great stuff, but if it's really that bad... it's funny, though, it's gotten some great reviews so far.
