I agree fully that I don't think this reboot is set up to succeed, especially since McFarlane is directing/writing. I am sure I will see it anyway but not expecting it to turn out well haha.
That all being said, I completely forgot to mention the HBO series in my initial post, which is flippin' great! Definitely griddy and Keith David as the voice of Spawn is perfect. I am hopeful they give this one a go. It really does have such ridiculous scenes and themes to discuss, like the "in hell fight scene with worst CGI ever", "clown shooting a rocket launcher on top of a truck with no driver", "spawn can fly...but needs a motorcycle?", "old man with endless exposition (also the narrator)", and tidbits like Chris Farley (RIP) is at the red carpet of this event for some reason...
I really hope they watch this one!
