COMIC BOOK MOVIES THAT ALL TAKE PLACE DURING THE ORIGINAL TIMELINES IN ORIGINAL STORY ARCS.
The only reboot that makes any sense to me at ALL comic book companies but especially MCU/DCU. (* FOR THE CORPORATE WHORES WHO ARE RUINING EVERYTHING, YOU GET TO SELL NEW TOYS FOR EVERY DIFFERENT ERA?!?!?!)
If they actually used the original characters, in their original timelines, with the original pace of story telling (You don't have to kill off the bad guy/hero every single f**** movie BUT if you do, they have to stay DEAD). This not only allows for them to inhabit those specific timelines, era styles, artistic directorial viewpoint, technologies unique to their time, which could widely differentiate individual characters for different time periods (like how they have the fantastic 4 in the '60s but then they could do a 70s, 80's 90's, etc, versions where Reed Richards is old, older, oldest OR Batman/Superman of the 1940's to grittier 80's versions. Each one of these "Characters" could be played by a completely different version (different actors) and be done with completely different directors, styles with different tones, FOR EVERYONE ON ALL specific story runs specific to their particular era's. You know, actually original movies, that made them great during their eras BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY!!!!! This would allow for each showrunner/director/actors to actually take creative risks + be more more respectful to the original creative content. By going back to the original eras you would also help in all the stupid stuff that has to be done in a movie to accommodate the new technologies, but it would also take down a whole bunch of the cost of those special effects. Which thing could actually mean better stories. Also, by doing original story runs (for instance, the X-Men and the evolutionary War fighting the High Evolutionary) In their original tones for that '80s era. If it flopped another movie could be done of the '70s version of the 2000s version and those different story lines that are specific to those eras, played by different actors that are older and or younger depending on the timelines. This would allow for much more interesting takes and if the movies did well they could expand upon that same era and if not they could just move on to something and wipe the slate clean As the characters are always the same no matter what era and therefore you don't have to reinvent the wheel every single f**** time. This allows for minor roles for hero team-ups, villain team-ups that don't have to destroy an entire franchise if they don't work out. You know like how comics were successful for decades before movies ruin them with the shitification of corporate thinking
This would allow for original great costumes that don't seem corny A year later when the fashion is out of modern tastes or story lines that aren't ruined by modern logistics like cell phones. It also allows stories to be allegories for politically difficult stories of today that can really do interesting stuff without having to point fingers at anyone politically. The other great thing about this is all of the amazing sets + interesting things you could do as a result of not having to shoehorn in everything that's already happened within the last 5 years that they've tried to make a ka-jillion dollars off of. Under the current circumstances, they want to make sure that as a product, it's going to HAVE TO coincide with an overall storyline no matter what, which is ridiculous considering it's billions of dollars worth of movies over 10 years (captain America: Red Hulk crap-a-thon is a good example of having to tie up loose threads constantly.
Getting rid of that unnecessary plotlines would be f**** huge, as being able to bring in an early '80s Wolverine who doesn't need to have anything to do with the X-Men as a stand-alone story, but then also be able to tie him in with Jubilee in the late '80s lwith potentially a totally different actors playing Wolverine as a young or older version is amazing. It also allows for someone to play a wolverine in World War II, you see where I'm going with this. The possibilities are endless and if any of these stories fail, it doesn't f*** every storyline before or after it?!?! You just cut that timeline for whatever reason. Even better, because you're now not tying yourself to every attempt at something original, the success of literally every single mega story in a row is no longer the "make and break" for a producer every single f**** time. You can actually take risks and stylistically make things extremely innovative and interesting. Like having Mobius being a full-on horror movie or same with blade + not having too be tied into a kid-friendly version of Disney that won't necessarily work for either. But once again, as I said......... If it doesn't work for whatever reason, it's not the end of the world because if every character inhabits their own style, era, set of directorial viewpoint it makes every movie an opportunity to try something different to not bore the f*** out of everyone with formulaic age s*** that doesn't HAVE TO appeal to EVERYONE.
I obviously understand that none of this would ever happen as they're too stupid + if you can't force everyone to have to watch every single movie to make sure that every single movie is relevant, then how do you force people to watch s*** movies that suck and suck worse and then suck still even worse, that nobody cares about?!? LASTLY, this would allow for DEI plot lines that really would be relevant to time and place where it would feel less forced and could have real opportunities to communicate something that genuinely reflected the struggles of people and their stories. Hopefully this would have considerably less blowback than no DEI at all, rather then 12 stories in a row shoehorned DEI all at the same exact time, with very little relevancy within the actual meaning of that story.....
I wouldn't care but I grew up on all this stuff and it breaks my heart to see them ruin all of my favorite stories in what feels like an on purpose attempt to make sure we have no Heroes......
The system works.

I'm hoping that Dune 3 has EVEN MORE romantically longing stare contests between Paul & his concubine & less of the importance of the Space Guilds relevance for the entire plot, especially if they emphasize the forced romance of a living god's side-girl over the rest of anything concerning the entire universe's reliance on the Guild, and it's direct political tension between all of the houses, Emporer and the importance of the spice?!?!
That tension of the political drama & the entire universe hinging on the triangular power balance of these three strategic groups (God king, guild & houses) seems almost totally irrelevant when compared to infatuation. Especially when the two young actors are super hot & stare at each other, like a lot, but like you know, longingly.......
Removal of the Guild entirely, even though they are the linchpin of the plot with spice, space travel, their relevance to the Emperor & the Houses just seems pretty irrelevant in comparison to the romance between a living God & his Bae!!!!!
Looking forward to more crucial characters being completely sidelined in order to service Hollywood's desire to replace storylines for vacuous star worship!?!
The 80's version using the Toto sound track wasn't great but despite the studio's best attempts to ruin it, the movie was at least a sci-fi political thriller, not just another way to yet again showcase Hollywood's two most popular actors.
Sadly , the corporations & the inevitable shitification of everything for money prevails! I hope they get a particularly painful version of cancer for ruining my favorite sci-fi novel. At least the first movie in this particular series was decent & why I think I was SOOOO disappointed in the second installment BUT it's all going to get worse from here as plot is obviously irrelevant when competing against American cheese (a product that isn't actually cheese, which is why they have to call it "American cheese" as it's just chemicals, fat and salt.)
The system works.
