I agree with both of you except about watching it. I'm not going to watch any of it.
The original was a period piece, playing on culture and attitudes of the time. Not that everything is different, it's just what was is not what is.
So that means they are going to force it to fit. It's going to be painful, it's going to be awkward. Also I'd need that younger angst I had then to enjoy it.
If I want a reboot that hits the same, I'll need a time machine for my perspective and something appropriate for now culturally.
