Part 9/10:
Throughout the discourse, a recurring theme is the plea to "leave beloved stories alone." Whether it’s American Psycho, Narnia, Dexter, or Avatar, the suggestion is that revisiting these properties often leads to disappointment and dilution of what made the originals special. Instead, the suggestion is to innovate and create new narratives that can stand on their own merits.
The speaker also notes that studios tend to cast well-known actors in these roles, perhaps in an effort to safeguard against failure, but often at the expense of originality and authenticity.
