it is noble for an art to be so manifestly perfect that it stands on its own for all time and never needs a remake or modernization. think Citizen Kane, or Portal, or The Wire. this recognizes the ageless magnificence of the original art
it is also noble for an art to be so manifestly perfect that it spawns a deluge of endless remakes that reimagine it through every possible angle. think Mobile Suit Gundam, or Star Trek, or Macbeth. this recognizes the endless depth of the original art
what is ignoble is to remake a perfect art just once or twice. this disrespects the art by suggesting that it is unsuitable for modern tastes while also refusing to grant it the dignity of bountiful offspring. this is the true sin
