Why do they keep making cash grabs 36 years too late and half baked. Don't these movies lose more money then they make.

    The only thing I can think is because

    A) Nostalgia farming worked really well for them in the 80s/90s, and they are unable to realize now is different

    B) They probably are making money on these unfortunately (though not as much as they want), and it is likely because a known and trusted IP is easier to sell than a fresh untrusted idea that could flop worse. The fracturization of the industry oddly doesn't help (like, back in the day everyone was watching the same things at the same time, now with 30k different streaming services it's almost impossible to put up the same numbers as back then).

    That said, I still hate it lmao.
