I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

I’m surprised nostalgia hasn’t resurrected the Turtles knockoffs that sprung up- Battle Toads, Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks. Biker Mice probably has the strongest potential for an interesting story.
Captain Planet relaunched last year and is supposed to be live action soon. He ditched the mullet. The reviews of the comic are generally positive, it’s got the spirit of the cartoon show instead of nostalgia bait, the Planeteers have more realistic depth, Cap still preaches like it’s a Saturday morning PSA about separating your recycling.
Live action Captain Planet?! Is Don Cheadle playing Cap? 😮
I think that’s the most true to form modern adaptation that could exist. He tried being inspiring 30yrs ago. Now, “fuck you”.
