maybe they regard it as a separate revenue stream, so they can doubledip into what their demographics and marketing departments tell them are two completely independent audiences, cartoons vs live action. There's gotta be some reason because there's nobody who wants this, nobody who thinks it's a good idea, and nobody who is not filled with trepidation and a vague nausea at its release, who is also a fan of the original show.
I also don't believe it can be true that there is a subset of people who are too manly/serious and "absolutely will not watch cartoons" that overlaps with "would watch this obvious adaptation of a children's show".
But yeah, they don't think that way I guess. Anyway I'm just glad it's not another butcher job. Gonna give it a while before I watch it, I want them to understand this is nobody's priority. (An Earthbender Avatar, however.... that's day 1 binge territory)
