This is such a tired argument regarding how we're seeing too many sequels and remakes now.
For eg:
The Ten Commandments (1956) and Ben-Hur (1959) were remakes.
They made Beach Party movies in the 60s.
The disaster movies of 70s were practically the Superhero movies of its era. Smokey and the Bandit and those Clint Eastwood ape movies that were huge hits.
Movies are The Exorcist, Jaws, Dirty Harry, Indiana Jones, Rocky, Rambo, Star Wars etc got sequels in the 70s and 80s.
They made tons of sequels we saw in the 80s.
The 50s saw dumbass movies like Francis The Talking Mule movies and those Bonzo movies.
They made about 600 Spaghetti Westerns between 1960-80.
They have been making James Bond movies since the 60s.
I can go on and on about similar movie trends of the past. It's all relative to every era.
This is just hipster, contraian, pretentious nonsense to make themselves look edgy and cool. These arguments are idiotic.
Dont care about about 60s movies. Im talking about the 80s and 90s original movies that have been remade or sequelized today in "modern times" and not 1 of them is better than the originals. In fact they are all much worse. Die hard, Predator, Alien, Star Wars, Independence Day, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Jumanji, Ghostbusters, Rambo, Terminator, Toy Story, Lion King, Mortal Kombat, I can go on. And except John Wick I cant think of a good original movie franchise modern Hollywood has created. Thats gotta be close to 99%
