Are remakes ruining entertainment?

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You're assuming remakes are a plague, but that's backwards. The real problem isn't remakes existing, it's that you confuse market saturation with artistic failure. Every era had formulaic cash-grabs alongside masterpieces. Shakespeare remade Greek tragedies. Hitchcock remade his own films. The difference now? You see every remake because distribution is democratic. Bad remakes always existed, you just didn't hear about them. What's actually happening is studios greenlight remakes because audiences keep watching them. That's not entertainment dying, that's market feedback. So here's the real question: are remakes ruining entertainment, or are audiences choosing them, and you're just mad about what people prefer?
