What does it take for a movie/tv show/etc to have a successful return?

Nowadays every old property is seeing a revival, reboot, or remake. A handful of them are good but most tend to be pretty bad.

Can a property truly return even with proper funding and the original actors, writers and creators behind it? Are we the problem thinking the creators will trap lightning in a bottle one more time?

I don't think it can be done properly after 10+ years most of the time. Even if you get all the original individuals involved, it's still hard to pull off. People change over time and with it their wants, needs, and ideas about subject matter.

Nicolas Cage needs to be in it.

The TV shows have no hope in my eyes. They're all a product of their time which involves their main viewership being in a certain age range as to why it was a hit. Once they get older, the "why" they liked the show will never be there again.

Movies are a different story. I think the limitations of technology has revived some genres. The main one is the comic book heroes.

To have a 'successful' return? It needs to turn up the 'woke' meter by 9000%. The antagonist needs to be a straight white male which automatically makes him a Nazi. Essentially it'll be Inglorious Basterds II, but with transgender Native American little people (Elizabeth Warrens) as the Nazi slayers. Would probably have to premier on Disney Plus or Netflix at the very least.
