    The cynic in me says money.

    More specifically though, there’s this sense of media hierarchy where some mediums are considered superior/more digestible/mainstream than others. Think back to the 2000s, everyone wanted that live action cowboy bebop remake with Keanu reeves, same kind of thing.

    I couldn’t tell you why this exists, very often the original media was good because of the medium it was presented in. I’d argue avatar is one of those cases, but that’s me.
