I'm of the strange opinion that the original can't be ruined.
Original Star wars wasn't made worse cause of prequels.
Old Testament is still the Old Testament.
2005 King Kong is better than last years.
I don't understand the hatred of going back to old characters in new places. Sure if they're bad they're bad, but the new doesn't degrade the old.
It's like reversed original sin.
