This far back hindsight is well known on many of the remakes they mentioned. I used to be fine to neutral on remakes, now I'm quite negative on the concept. It's because so many pointless and/or poorly made ones have been put out or in development. I love older remakes of 50s films like "The Fly" and "The Blob". But most movies that have been or will be remade fail the rules mentioned in Ep 5. They have been seen by many people and in most cases a more modern re-telling won't help.
I consider Hollywood remaking foreign genre films as a different animal. Most of those turn out decent to good. But when I hear remake of "Troll Hunter"...I just have no idea how this would work if set in America.
