//II S1 REMAKE SPOILERS (even though there's like barely anything to spoiler)
I'm trying to be so polite about this and if you don't want to hear me 'complain' and the such, then i recommend you stop reading here, but like. What was the point of making this remake? It seems to just be inanimate season one but with the modern show's humor/voice acting. Which isn't bad... but when you're working on a season four later in the year, why would you split your resources to make a project which just wasn't necessary?
The episode was fine, not trying to say it was bad! It just seems pretty useless to me. Season one's whole charm was it's low, amateurish quality. A remake of it to me feels like going against the season's biggest selling point. If they remade the original BFDI in TPOT's writing and animation style, would it be bad? Not at all! But it would be a pointless project because the first season could stand as it's own. (Granted, I do think there's some worth in revising some of the more poorly aged jokes! ...that doesn't mean revising ALL the jokes though.)
You might say 'isn't this a bit of an overreaction for one episode?', but it's really not the episode which is the problem for me! I just think the whole concept of the remake is flawed.
Also, just don't like the little references/changes to fit in with future seasons, (nickel's S1 bug status... where are you... your whimsy.... come back to me...) but that's probably me just hating to hate at that point lol
