What do you all think about remakes of fictional stories in various art forms, or even remakes of characters.
Additionally what do you think about the changing of genders or races in characters?
I got thinking about this topic after seeing the trailer for ghostbusters the film they've made with just women as the main characters.
Plus recently they were talking about using a black actor to play James Bond.
Personally I'm against most remakes anyway, I heard Russell brand wanted to do a remake of drop dead Fred and that annoyed me.
And as for changing the race or gender or main characters I just don't see the point.
If I really like a character I find it really distracting if that character just becomes female or turns black or vice versa, if a woman turns into a man or black person turns white.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
