No. No, it will not be good.

Did you like The Guild? Do you enjoy Patton's post-widow stand-up? You might like the new MST3K.

Yeah that one was really good.

No, I was just answering the question, at no point did I say that all reboots are good.

thats the only one. but yeah thats a solid 8.5/10 kino

No original writers, this is the main issue. You can have an ape do the host segments since they're only 20 minutes out of 120. No Mike, no Bill, no MJP or any of the great writers they used to have. No dice. Joel isn't even that involved with it, and he was one of their *worst* writers.

Joel seems to be running the show so I'm sure it will be garbage.

I doubt it

Just wait until they make a gamer-gate or alt-right reference during the riffing.

this isn't really a reboot in the typical sense.
It's just another adaptation, no one expected a continuation of the Sylvester Stallone movie decades later.

Reboots/remakes like this and "The Fly" and "Oceans 11" and such that are fairly new takes and aren't trying to bank on the original fans nostalgia will always be able to forge their own path and stand on their own. These days though, franchises sell. They sell people what they know and MST3K is a property sooo look, the old characters we know and love are back and.... blargh....

Im so sick of reboots and remakes and all this nostalgia porn.

heres your (You) you worked really hard for it user

I don't know, those "great writers" have been doing Rifftrax for a decade now and those don't hold a candle to the original run.

I think it's best to just accept that nothing will be what MST was in the 90s and take the new series for what it is. Hopefully it's decent

this

A better question is why are they doing it when these three are still going.

Rifftrax was undeniably better than Cinematic Titanic, which went out of business in an instant. Rifftrax is still going strong, stronger than ever and strong enough to bring Mary Jo on board.

CT had Joel, Frank, Josh, Trace, etc, the absolute worst writers of the bunch. The original shows got appreciably better (Rowsdower) when they all left, leaving more writing time for the Rifftrax guys.

In other words, the best writers went to Rifftrax, and this new MST is gonna blowwwww.

I know I'm alone in this, but Frank is probably my favorite CT member.

You missed my point entirely, that Rifftrax was somehow never as good as MST even with all the "best" writers. So it's silly to complain that this will be bad solely because they aren't in it, it would probably be just as mediocre with them.

I haven't listened to Rifftrax in years, but I saw a post on here saying they were begging listeners to buy or donate instead of pirating the mp3s. Is that true?

MST3K was never good. The only funny thing is the movies themselves.
