You misunderstand consoomers. They don't want nostalgia by itself, but more a continued sense of comfort.

There's a social aspect to remakes.
Consoomers love talking to other consoomers about the latest product.
Remakes make the old product trendy again so all the consoomers are talking about it at once.

>Remakes make the old product trendy again
I think this is untrue. I think it's more that remakes make the "idea" of the old product trendy again.

but more a continued sense of comfort.
Which i guess your enlightened ass never research when you search the things you like. No ,you ,you are special unique and ahead of the curve. You dont "consoom" you watch art unlike the sheepos. Oh if only everyone was like you

Sure. The point is that rewatching the original is something you do on your own on a whim.
Remakes get every consoomer on board.
It's not just about the nostalgia, it's also about being part of the latest trend.

If you just rewatch the old thing you run the risk of discovering that it was never good in the first pace.

You forget the nostalgia-as-heritage aspect.
Consoomers want their children to have the same emotional hook-ins as they did, but find it difficult persuading such to watch originals. Have to hope for assistance from megacorps in packing their nostalgia as shiny-new so kids will take it up.

You seem oddly put out by this.

No... It doesn't. It gets enough, and if properly targeted it gets the network they've talked up the original to to spend caps on it too.
To say 'it gets every consoomer' onboard is to claim your - our - contrarian stance gives utter immunity to 'sumerism. It doesn't - you too have a tiny shard of a consoomer within yourself, to be exposed under the right conditions.

I think there's an element where the consoomer likes the brand or the product more than the thing (or the creation) itself.

Nostalgia isn't the driving force of consoomerism; it is hype. Nostalgia is about putting value of old things that can't actually make the company as much money.

>their children

Nostalgia can play a part of consoomerism. Final Fantasy 7 Remake's entire ad campaign was basically just full 'memberberry.

it has nothing to do with that but you obviously won't get the real answer asking incels on this cancer board

everyone normal grew up and started a family and wants to imprint the same kind of nostalgia bait on their kids to see if they like it too. disney is just following that trend.

Yes, it's possible to consoom a lifestyle that's all over teh TV? Thus making it so spawning anklebiters does not grant immunity?
In hort, your point?

>everyone normal grew up and started a family and wants to imprint the same kind of nostalgia bait on their kids to see if they like it too
The only problem with that is that its attached to multi-national corporations, rather than genuine culture. Songs, stories, etc. passed down over unknowable generations is a natural urge, but that's being funnelled into consumerist thinking.

Dude, throw a billion dollars at a problem and it stops being a problem.
Snow White is a near-enough-natural progression from Grimms; Disney has the formula for packaging 'genuine culture' and then selling it. Now they're dipping twice from the well, and who is to stop them?
Not you, and not me.
Only business of mine is the quality of what my progeny may get in terms of 'genuine culture' being handed down. Not policing what consoomers want to do so their descendants end up as the Wall-E humans...

It is less about nostalgia and more about getting a recognizable property and dangle it in front of posers so they can be part of the cool kids club. Most consoomers are casual fans or desperate retards.

Which is fucking stupid because good animation is timeless. CGI on the other hand...

I'm not defending CONSOOMERS or remakes, but no matter how much you like [original thing], you can't watch it over and over forever unless you're literally autistic. Eventually you want to see something new, and people who are into remakes apparently want something new that's extremely similar to [original thing] while still being different enough to feel "original"

>you can't watch it over and over forever

Also just to clarify this: I don't even mean because "you'll realize it was never good" or some dumb shit.

Just that when you get to the point of knowing a movie or whatever well enough to practically have it memorized, you'll probably be tired of it and at least not want to watch it for a while. So they want something that hits the nostalgia button without actually being the literal thing itself

You can love something and not really consume it for a long time. Usually those things you love are best kept as good residents in your memory.

So... You want a Back to the Future remake?
That shit, while not weekly rewatch material, never loses its charm from year to year yknow.

I'm not into remakes myself; I'm just trying to say that that's probably the mindset of anybody who is into them who also isn't the type to just watch EVERYTHING Disney or whoever makes without exception.

I've experienced getting burnt out on stuff I actually enjoy at least temporarily a few times.

I don't think that's the path tho, I think is much more on the money.
I mean, I don't think I'm special so an amount of generalisation from (me) can be made; that being, I will far rather watch a tired out movie than an undead disrespectful af piece of shit.

And if I did watch such a movie, my brand faith would be nigh destroyed. Disney is too smart to make a half billion of nostalgia at the cost of 50 bil in future sales from anons who might have watched Disney but got turned off the brand by a cash grab.

Temporarily is the key in your post, imho. My example wasn't a weekly watch, but I will watch it for years and years to come. So long as it isn't corpse-fucked.

>t. disney intern

>Consoomers love talking to other consoomers about the latest product.

isn't that what Zig Forums and Zig Forums do just with complaining about it?
Are they just bizarro consoomers?

i want new and original stuff

What is wrong with consumption?

The hacking cough, for starts.
