    If there’s one thing that can be guaranteed of a Disney led x-files reboot, it’s that whatever happens, Disney will manage to make a flop and massive financial loss

    X-Files is product of its time. It can not be rebooted today with different actors.

  • @EB64

    Instead of a reboot, just make it a continuation. Mulder and Scully(and the rest of the old cast) are retired and a new duo(or group?) gets put in charge of the X-Files. The old cast can make cameo appearances from time to time, but the focus will be on the new ones. Maybe bring in a few of the original "monster of the week" cases where the new team consults M&S on how they handled it.
    The "pass the baton" approach would be better than trying to recast the characters themselves.

      That's what a reboot is... it is a continuation of the original series. For example, George Lucas intended for Star Wars to only be 6 books and 6 movies. Disney bought it and rebooted it, giving us more movies.

      It was a good show despite JJs involvement. The constant internal rebooting was annoying but overall it was an enjoyable show.
      X Files getting a reboot just smacks of Disney desperation and creative bankruptcy.

      That wouldn't make sense. Mulder is always rubbing against the grain, pissing off his employers. That's why they brought in Skully in the first place, because they wanted to get rid of Mulder. Skully was supposed to find something worth firing him. There's no way the people higher up than Skinner would ever let him be the director.

    as long as the main characters have as much chemistry as the original Mulder and Scully, i think it'll do fine. still wont touch the original but would be worth watching. the casting is deff what will make and break the show.

    @rexbitten 2 місяці тому +1

    I thought bringing in the characters played by Lauren Ambrose and Robbie Amell as the new agents at the FBI and Mulder and Scully being on the outside as assets ( like Deep Throat and X) could have worked but not for very long i suppose. I'm not sure a reboot is warranted.

    • @lepayen
      @lepayen 2 місяці тому

      Nah, if they brought in the other 2 to replace Mulder and Skully, then there would be no need for Mulder and Skully as assets, if anything, they would be a liability to the new agents.

    30 year fan here: the only thing realistic to do would be to recast. Recasting will not work however because even a Terminator could not save the show during the brief recasting they tried to do before. It's why Mulder and Scully came back to finish the last few seasons. After witnessing Disney's RECENT efforts at shows and movies; I have ZERO faith that Disney could do it right. Disney needs hire creative people to create properties and stop being lazy.

  • @adrianvanleeuwen
    @adrianvanleeuwen 2 місяці тому

    Recast is fine, or simply find new name agents looking at paranormal cases. Quantum Leap reboot had new characters while mentioning the old and went 2 seasons. Hawaii 5-0 went 10 seasons in reboot. Magnum PI reboot is 5 or 6 seasons. They need to find really good actors and great writing to make it work with interpersonal character building like the old show. If the writing is not good, it will fail.
