I agree completely. It's all just a cash cow to milk now. There are a handful of exceptions (the Doom reboot in 2016 is absolutely kickass), but the majority of reboots and re-dos take the same road that Star Wars has taken (to be fair though, people said the exact same thing about the Prequels). I know that the end-goal was always to make money, but I feel like today the corporate overlords are whipping and yoking everyone all the way down the line to just make whatever the algorithms say will make them maximum cash with minimum effort.
Additionally, it's a huge "fuck you" to fans who have spent their whole life learning canon, lore, and generally studying everything about a series, when a company just buys it and says "none of this is canon anymore."
