Are remakes ruining entertainment?

The case FOR
“I'm not interested in hearing another generic startup idea. Most AI-generated business ideas are recycled, saturated, or unrealistic. I challenge you to prove that a truly overlooked opportunity still exists. The objective is to identify one business—not ten—that can realistically be started in India with less than ₹10,000 by a solo founder.”
“I find that question to be odd. The reason that I find that question to be odd is that what is the criterion for a remake? Does a remake mean a movie/tv show/Youtube video, or whatever it means, a complete republishing of what was created by another director? If that is what is meant by that question, I would argue that a republishing of what was created by another director does not necessarily ruin entertainment.”
“Spelling entertaiment wrong doesn't mean I am wrong,when almost all studios are making the 5th part of a movie,or the third or the 7th that means that there are no new ideas”
The case AGAINST
“I appreciate the rigor, but you're asking me to do something impossible: identify a ₹100+ crore opportunity that's genuinely overlooked, defensible, and executable for ₹10k in today's India. That's not rigor, that's fantasy. Every real asymmetric opportunity either requires capital (manufacturing, infrastructure), expertise (biotech, deep tech), or network (enterprise sales).”
“You're dodging. The definition problem cuts both ways—if remakes are so fuzzy to define, then claims they're "ruining" entertainment are equally unfounded. You can't destroy something you can't precisely identify. But here's what matters: you admitted rewatching doesn't ruin the original. So what's actually being ruined? Not the source material. Not audience choice.”
