Hollywood wants to butcher another series.
Didn't they already butcher it with the new creepy version of TMNT?
Seemingly all they know how to do nowadays is "revive" and then butcher oldies - regardless of whether they were any good in the first place.
This is part of why I tend towards films like Godzilla films (I loved Shin Godzilla) and also more eclectic stuff like Lifeforce that I posted about here recently. Even when they don't completely work they at least are actual creative efforts.

Even with the stodgy style of the characters in Shin Godzilla, I still loved it more than the new Godzilla.
I had no issue with the relatively stodgy characters specifically because they were portrayed in that manner to make a point. Shin Godzilla is VERY politically pointed from a Japanese perspective. Godzilla is portrayed a lot like a force of nature (a.k.a the Tsunami and the Fukushima disaster the Tsunami caused) and the stodgy characters and the overly bureaucratic response to Godzilla is meant to point to the same issues in how the Government responded to the Tsunami and the distress reports from the Fukushima plant where had they responded in a more prompt manner the entire situation likely does not happen.
Shin Godzilla felt more Kaiju to me than the new Godzilla movie. That whole thing with the Brody Family just ruined it for me. And the ending with Godzilla was just off. The effects were awesome, the music, the cinematography, all of that was in place but it still tasted like it was pre-packaged and full of unnecessary ingredients (to use an analogy).
It was only classic in that sense. The whole thing with Brody and Godzilla laying in the rubble of the city did not feel the same to me as the standard Godzilla going back into the sea while we see a city still burning and the enemy monster is dead. There are a bunch of little scenes and details in the 2014 movie that for me ruined it. I know they are not going to repeat the Brody thing and also that Ghidorah and Rodan will be in it.
