    The whole “everything is just sequels and remakes” complaint has been around for so long. The ironic thing is that it’s just as original of a critique as the movies they’re complaining about.

      This is fairly easy to disprove as I can think of in say, video games, a company releasing 5-6 remakes of games they made 30 years ago. So… 30 years ago, the games they released that year were the originals. This year, it’s 6 remakes. Someone on reddit analyzed this, though it’s kind of vague as there are no units for the vertical axis. I suppose it does show proportions by year.
