The audience wanted to see the old characters not the actors playing random people. It never should have been a reboot to begin with. New all female main cast? Fine. No reason why it couldn’t have been in the same universe. This new one seems to have solved that issue which makes me want to see it.

I’m not entirely sure who you think twitter and reddit trolls are if not real people… The internet isn’t some make-believe entity filled with only bots. Trolls might be expressing a fake opinion, but that opinion is being passed around and shared like it’s genuine, which ultimately doesn’t make any difference.
