Darker, grittier reboots are getting kinda silly

Just saw word that The CW is doing a pilot called "Riverdale" which is said to be, and I quote, "a darker take on the Archie comics".

Yeah...Can't wait to see that.

Maybe next they can do a dark, gritty take on Richie Rich that explores issues of class differences, or perhaps a new version of Beetle Bailey that addresses the horrors of war.

What else can we give a dark reimagining to?

I have no room in my heart left for hating dark gritty remakes. I'm on to hating "The story behind the story" or "The events that inspired the story" or "The part from before the story you were never told" crap.

  • The Heart of the Sea (Moby Dick)
  • The Huntsman Winters War (Snow White)

Not a fan of those either.

Dracula - and vampires in general, honestly - have kind of had the opposite treatment over the last few years. They've changed them from pure predators to whiney emos that want to talk about their feelings.

      NFL Free Agency

      Rico is 0%. I think we would really like to have Mays back but we have a value in mind and aren't willing to overspend. I think someone probably will so I think the odds are pretty low but not zero.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      Former NFL Network’s Lindsey Rhodes on Carolina Panthers

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
