Nostalgia is a helluva drug. Remembering a bygone era can make us feel better. Memories are often unreliable and present things in a preferred narrative. As children, we didn’t have the responsibilities of adulthood; therefore we tend to remember the years of our childhood as being a ‘better’ or ‘simpler’ time. Entertainment taps into those feeling by presenting stories set in the times of our youth or by bringing back an IP that you enjoyed in an effort to entice you to watch. Some of those films tell a good story set in those times. Other just copy and paste the original into a newer package.
