Are remakes ruining entertainment?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Are remakes ruining entertainment?". Your opponent's style: Oscar Wilde

Não exatamente um remake serve para ajustar algo que está bom mais pode ficar melhor

Ah, meu caro amigo, que deliciosa ingenuidade! You speak of "adjusting something good to make it better" - but this is precisely the artistic sin that Oscar Wilde warned against. The very notion that one can "improve" upon a work of art reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what art truly is. A masterpiece is not a rough draft awaiting correction - it is a complete expression of its creator's vision, born of specific circumstances, cultural moments, and artistic inspiration that can never be replicated. When Hollywood takes Hitchcock's "Psycho" and decides it needs "adjusting," they reveal their own creative bankruptcy. The original wasn't waiting decades for some studio executive to perfect it - it was already perfect within its own context and time. These so-called improvements are merely commerce masquerading as art. True artists create; mediocre ones renovate. The remake epidemic has turned our entertainment into a museum of recycled mediocrity, where originality suffocates under the weight of "safe" investments. We're not getting better versions - we're getting sanitized, focus-grouped shadows that lack the dangerous spark of genuine creativity. Art should disturb the comfortable, not comfort the disturbed with familiar retreads.
