I think what many content creators are slowly realizing when it comes to these reboots, though, is that the supposed thirst and nostalgic noise in the ether (read: on the internet) is much, much larger than the actual desire to take action when there's something to do or see.

Solomon, for his part, is obsessed with "Star Trek: The Next Generation," which has become the lens through which he views the world — and, as he well knows, he has embarked not on a three-year mission, but on one that could last a lifetime, with endless spinoffs and reboots.

Borrowing heavily from elements of the classic 1980s DC Comics storyline "Crisis on Infinite Earths," the Elseworlds three-parter will both pay homage to and gently spoof the comics industry's love of reboots, retcons, and imaginary tales, while giving two superheroes a chance to experience what it's like to be somebody else.

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" fully delivers on story, which is a tough challenge for any film, but especially a film released in this context — we've seen far too many iterations of Spider-Man in less than two decades and frankly the zeitgeist is a bit fatigued by the constant reboots.

Urban may be broadly familiar these days as Dr. Leonard McCoy in the Star Trek film reboots, but longtime fans know he can just as easily play villains, like Vaako in Chronicles of Riddick, or disillusioned good guys like John Kennex in Almost Human, and he's handled more than his fair share of action.

Fox has also been developing video game and board game properties like Assassin's Creed, Mega Man, Hitman, Clue, and Magic: The Gathering and has explored sequels or reboots to past films like Romancing the Stone, Dodgeball, and The Heat, but projects in development are precarious by nature even without a massive merger upending things further.

Blade Runner 2049 (October 6) It is only natural that in this world of reboots and remakes one of the most beloved (and fiercely debated) science fiction films of the last 40 years would be on the docket, particularly when it means Harrison Ford can return, yet again, to another of his iconic characters.

Halloween has spawned multiple sequels and reboots, most of which try to get back to what made the Carpenter/Hill film a classic: the relentless masked monster Michael Myers, a placid-looking small town populated by vulnerable teens, and the idea that evildoers and the people they've traumatized compulsively return to the scene of the crime every so often.

At this point in the summer, it's all too easy for a regular moviegoer to get the blockbuster blues — that weary and slightly exasperated feeling of having seen too many sequels and reboots and computer-generated explosions, too many green-screen sets and superheroes and motion-capture creatures, too many nostalgic reimaginings and 3D movies with one-dimensional characters.

"&aposBad Boys For Life&apos avoided the usual pitfalls by offering up all the qualities of the original films, including and most importantly the combined star power and chemistry of Smith and Lawrence, an outside-the-box January release date, and of course great reviews, which are a bit of a unicorn in the world of reboots," Dergarabedian said.

Even in an era of constant reboots and remakes, a new Blade Runner film has always seemed as elusive as a unicorn dream: The 1982 classic was plagued by on-set strife and studio squabbling, and while the future-is-noir mystery is now considered a classic, it divided audiences and critics at the time, resulting in a so-so box-office showing.

Furthermore, while the Tomb Raider reboots offered what can be described at best as half-hearted attempts at an open world with a few disconnected areas and side quests, Horizon Zero Dawn goes much farther in giving a living world to explore, harvest resources, and survive in, but yet still one where where the story feels like an important and natural part of the experience.

In an age where reboots and sequels are the norm in cinema, and everyone is just waiting for the part of the movie with the big CGI, city destroying fight scene where the hero eventually rises from the ashes to come out victorious, the very real stakes of an actual fight remind us of that 'truth' that is always talked about in relation to art.

Twenty years from now — or whenever the current cycle of reboots, remakes, sequels, and prequels comes back around — when someone has the "brilliant" idea to relaunch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, we'd love to see Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello face off against a quarto of evil turtles named after contemporary artists: katana-toting Koons, ninja star-throwing Indiana, sledgehammer-wielding Wiley, and drone-piloting Ono.

Planned originals for the service include a Battlestar Galactica reboot from Sam Esmail, the guy behind Mr. Robot, a Saturday Night Live docuseries called Who Wrote That, a Real Housewives spinoff, reboots of both Saved by the Bell and Punky Brewster, original animated content from DreamWorks Animation, and an original talk show series from Jimmy Fallon that absolutely no one needed, among a slate of other new content.

Netflix has pretty much come to own every genre it's forayed into: documentaries (Ava DuVernay's 13th); political dramas (House of Cards); millennial comedies (Master of None, Love); supernatural thrillers (Stranger Things); women-centered dramas (Orange is the New Black); talk-shows (Chelsea); reboots (Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life); critically-acclaimed films (Beasts of No Nation); stand-up (Amy Schumer's comedy special); superhero shows (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones); animated adult comedies (BoJack Horseman); and true crime docs (Making A Murderer).

Many of these reboots and revivals are shows that aired in the 1980s and 1990s, targeting viewers either in their first blush of adulthood, attempting to navigate an uncertain world, or empty-nesters with more time on their hands "Historically, when we're living in difficult times, it's always comforting to go back to programs that made us feel happy, felt comfortable, made us feel secure," says Preston Beckman, who oversaw the building of NBC's powerhouse Must-See TV block as the network's scheduler and went on to schedule Fox in its "American Idol" days.

CBS just went on a resurrection spree, ordering 13 new episodes of "Murphy Brown" and pilots for shows you can't remember, like "Cagney & Lacey," and shows you might remember from watching them while home from school with the flu, like "Magnum P.I." Reboots and revivals have been cropping up on TV for ages, but what's different now is the sheer tonnage in development, compared to other years: As of this writing, one-quarter of CBS' new shows in development are based on other shows; at The CW, two of nine pilots ("Roswell" and "Charmed") once aired on the network's predecessor, The WB. Freeform, formerly known as ABC Family, is working on a new version of "Party of Five," but with Mexican-American siblings whose parents have been deported.
