Description
WARNING: VERY CONTROVERSIAL STAMP, not the first time I have done this. Check my Fluttershy gets too much hate stamp.Made this stamp because I am sick and tired of people whining about reboots and remakes just to try to make the new generation be bored to death by watching a classic movie that has an inevitable reboot for today or maybe the near future.
Don't know what Rebootphobia is? Let me explain, Rebootphobia is the fear and hatred of a remake or a reboot of a classic that was good and it was part of their childhood. The victims for rebootphobic hate are The Powerpuff Girls, Pac-Man, Littlest Pet Shop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters, mainly because of how it changes the franchise's canon or what they loved about it as a whole. (Which it started the whole "childhood ruined bullshit" or other reasons I can't rebuff just to save a reboot that IMO is good.) At least people didn't complain about the Planet of the Apes reboot movies, Captain America in the MCU (even if it isn't a reboot), Battlestar Galactica and Next year's Power Rangers reimagining flick with Saban, the Temple Hill dudes and Dean Israelite involved, even if people complain about the modernization. (Mainly because of not recycling as I heard from anyone)
Rebootphobia has gone too far. Thinking that a childhood is ruined because of a new thing ignoring what you liked? Bullshit, it's not like your childhood is flying away anytime soon. You can still watch them and consider them better than today's incarnation, and not give a shit about what "kills" your childhood when I think it's immortal to you or anyone else. Oh, andΒ Original stuff isn't easy as pie, There are also "original" movies that are done as bad as the remakes. If you think originality is easy, then try to make one and see if it's successful or not.
Also, sorry to make you mad, but the classic Ghostbusters are overvalued. I am sorry, but it is to me.
EDIT: One rebootphobe made me write more as if there are more reasons to dislike reboots, especially the bad ones. Think before you bash the new generation's tastes.

I don't hate reboots for ruining my childhood but I hate them if they suck

I already learned that not all reboots are hated over childhood, but on the tastes of the people who don't like it for other reasons.

TBH Rebootphobe is a silly term. People have the right to dislike reboots/remakes. And not everyone who dislikes them because of their "childhood", sometimes it's just not good or has so many flaws.

If people have the right to dislike a remake or a reboot, then this generation is doomed.

So, you're telling me that disliking a reboot is apparently a bad thing now.
BTW, can I ask you something else? You wouldn't mid, would you.

Sorry for what's going to be a slightly long explanations and 'I ain't afraid of no reboot', it's just that I (and most of my contemporaries are just cautious). I won't bash ya for liking the new movie though. My generation (I'm a '80s kid) has seen mostly bad reboots, remakes, sequels, and prequels, so we are a bit cautious...If it's something we like, we wait until we hear more news about it.
Half of the reboots and remakes that I've seen are terrible, good (But not as good as the original. - I mean by story pacing and script writing personal comparison by me), and others good/ Just-as-Awesome-as-the-original, and the rarely Reboot-So-Good-I-wnna-watch-the-Originals, and the Why-are-they-rebooting-this? Sometimes I view Hollywood rebooting timeless classics, like Jumanji, as a warning flag of they are running out of ideas and are too scared to try something new. Since, there's a billion books, cartoons, movies (That the world forgotten and/or have done poorly when it's first shown), anime, and video games that could rake in money for them, they're ignoring an untap potential.
Good/Awesome reboots (You won't hear me or others complain about these, because it was handle with care and well written)- MCU, the Dark Knight trilogy, My Little Pony, Disney's Jungle Book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Many hate the Tim Burton version, but I love it since it's book accurate). King Kong (I wanna see the old one now).
Bad reboots - Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes and Godzilla 1998 - I love these movies, but the fact that the rest of the internet hates them, is I'll be correct in saying that the PoftA and Godzilla 1998 didn't respect the source material were it's base on.
Do you want me to link you Midnight's Edge about the makings of the new Ghostbusters movie? Which will give more and a better explanation than I can. I won't give details, I'll just say that the reasons why I, a woman, and my generation hates/ suspicious/ some of them want this Dead on Arrival of this particular reboot is because for the past 3 or 4 months, Sony's movie division has been treating us like shit, including the actors, directors, writers, and producers for the original movie (Even before GB 2016 got greenlit)! Sony successfully isolated a market of loyal buyers and fans (including those not living in North America and Canada), who would buy ANYTHING with the Ghostbusters' name on it. This isolation will destroy this movie's chance of succeeding, they can't do it with just the new fans buying tickets and selling cool merch alone (There's not many of them to give the much needed money, plus, GB 2016 has a high chance of destroying Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthney, Leslie Jones, and Wigg's big budget movie opportunities). Lastly, Hollywood will get a weird idea that women and minorities can't be funny or be in non-romantic films, they won't blame it on script writing, directing, and other legit problems. This will hinder any non-Marvel/DC movies which are women/minorities led, despite the fact that I know that everyone and their grandma HAS been begging for movies with women/minorities/LGBT main characters for ages (I won't go into details of people (and me) begging for a Wonder Woman movie, feels like forever and Hollywood is dragging their feet...Until now).

Originality is hard, it is never easy. For example, when Superman tried something different (as in being in a modern, realistic context) in the DCEU, people started disliking Man of Steel, and even more with Batman v Superman. And doing something new takes a lot of time to come up with it. If a member in charge of Sony Pictures didn't treat anyone badly, GB3 would still continue. (Or even if Ramis died, at least have a passing of the torch to a new generation instead of displeasing them, whether it's all-men, all women or both genders, just like Star Wars: The Force Awakens)
Also, I heard the Voltron reboot on Netflix was good. And nobody whined when in the series, (SPOILER ALERT) It has been revealed that Pidge was a girl trying to look for his lost brother. (IMO, Voltron Legendary Defender is the incarnation of Voltron I wanted for so long. Even if I haven't watched GoLion or the original Voltron)
To be honest, I just did this stamp out of frustration because I want the new generation to be protected from people who dislike said bad reboot. Because I don't want anyone from this generation to be bored to death while watching a classic movie, show, etc. (Unless they respect their opinions and decisions)

AH, understandably, I just found out that in the past DC was murdering Marvel in the movies department. Now the tables are reverse. True thing about originality, even though I'll still say that there's unexplored and untap movie fodder that books, anime, cartoons, movies, and video games contain.
OHHH, the why ya made the stamp is understandable in my books. Even though I dislike the new movie, I don't want to isolate those that will like it and do not know what transpired behind the scenes (The other thing I hate is that this controversy is dividing the fanbase. I hang at the Ghostbusters reddit community and the place has become dreary, it used to be a chill place from what I heard.)

Don't forget, there's going to be a reboot of Ben 10 and reception of the announcement have been polarising plus the promos for Ghostbusters 2016 have got more dislikes than likes on YouTube.
However, I'm not a rebootphobe and I'm more excited to see Ghostbusters than Ben 10 because I've read info of the latter and it's probably going to rehash the original though there will be new aliens for it plus there are several reboots that I enjoyed with the most recent being Voltron: LD and I am well aware that the Star Trek reboot series are fan polarised like the New 52.

What do you mean by overvalued on the original Ghostbusters? Just saying.
π: 0 β©: 2
Besides I don't hate the originals though
π: 0 β©: 1
Me neither. I like The Dark Knight trilogy but I do like the first two Burtonverse Batman films, though I have mixed opinions on the other two: The third is passable and Jim Carrey is terrific as the Riddler, while the fourth is so bad, it's good and I don't consider that as the worst superhero film, which IMO is Catwoman.

Well I get sick and tired of people bashing the new movie. Besides, Ghostbusters like anything else has special effects that are dated and not like today's special effects. Maybe I said that out of frustration or something.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sick and tired of the backlash as well and even though I had no plans after reading that the first trailer had gotten more dislikes than likes, I ultimately decided to reserve judgement and planning to see it. Same reason why I'm going to see Ghost in the Shell next year even though it has garnered strong controversy on the casting choice of Scarlet Johansson as the Major (it hasn't been confirmed that her name will be Motoko Kusanagi).

I will never understand how a bad reboot can ruin childhoods
π: 0 β©: 1
Me either.
Besides, your childhood is in the past. There's no way something in the present can ruin the past.

People don't just hate reboots because they "ruin childhoods", they hate reboots because most reboots these days suck.

um yeah no. Β Most people can spot a bad Reboot in orbit around Saturn. Β

They still don't need to force the new generation to find a classic they find better than a bad reboot.

It's against the backlash that AVGN faced when he said that he is not going to watch the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot not because it's female-centric but because of something else. I don't think he deserved the backlash plus Devin Faraci and Patton Oswalt, shame on them for bashing his refusal to see it.

Who's Devin and Patton?

Devin Faraci is the person who runs the website Birth.Movies.Death and Patton Oswalt is a well-known comedian.

I agree with this stamp! I am so tired of hearing people say that a reboot of a classic "ruins their childhood"; it's silly and childish. If they have a valid reason why they dislike it, I respect his/her opinion. They need to adjust to the reboot at some point; they can't be complaining about it to anyone forever. Why not like both old and new?
π: 0 β©: 0
I totally agree.
Seriously, people need to stop complaining and whining about reboots so much just because it "ruins their childhood".
When you mentioned "Powerpuff girls", I immediately thought about all the rebootophobes out there (new word) that bash on the reboot while praising the original as if it were god's work. Um excuse me, that cartoon is FAAR from perfect and in the fandom, much too overvalued for what it is when CmCc has created higher quality stuff.
So, I can see where you are coming from on this.

Well NuPPG had the no me gusta thing

I agree it had its more unsavory moments like the rapping, which is absolutely cringeworthy I will admit, but Viral Spiral was a good episode in my opinion.

What episode was the no me gusta thing in?

Finally, someone who agrees.
Although, both people who commented above says a true thing and that is, people have many reasons to dislike reboots. But even if they're valid opinions I still call bull. By expressing their valid reasons to hate reboots, It makes me feel like they want the new generation to not like a reboot based on a good classic movie or show. (Unless it's Captain America, Planet of the Apes or Battlestar Galactica)

"Rebootphobes"/"Rebootphobia" doesn't exist.
I understand that nostalgitards are annoying but assuming all people to be nostalgitards for having other reasons to dislike reboots makes you no better.

If people have other reasons to dislike reboots, then I couldn't save the new generation from being bored to death while watching a classic movie (which the old generation finds it better) that will, possibly have, has or had a reboot.

That's not an excuse to shit on every single person who hate reboots for different reasons. I hate reboots in general because they're unnecessary and tend to be bad.
There's only one reboot that I like and it's Friendship is Magic since I never liked the older generations of My Little Pony.
π: 0 β©: 0
People have other reasons to flat-out shit on Reboots in general. So, stop assuming that people hate them just because they're childhood was ruined. Also people have every right to be angry over a shitty reboot.
