alt Hacker NewsI don't think it's "uncharitable"? Seems perfectly reasonable to not like a remake.
He says:
> ... this corporate remake is a worse creative "theft" than ...
Context is that "this" is the 1999 film.
A sibling comment makes a separate point that even the 1992 film is not original content but nowhere in falcor84's comment does he refer to the franchise as a whole being "theft".
Regardless, it's clear from the post that the context is the 1999 film being `creative "theft"` which I inferred meant they changed the story in ways he didn't like but... he can weigh in if he feels like it.

That's not the uncharitable part of your comment.
> [...] but he wants it to be because he doesn't like the 1999 film
This is the uncharitable part.
