finally a chance for x-files to be done right. finally Fox Mulder will be a strong empowered Black Trans Muslim woman in a committed lesbian relationship with Scully. its what the series needed from the start.

You are forgetting the part where the aliens teach us that we can overcome any problem with diversity, inclusion and equality. Also white straight males need to go! Their alien civilization was shit until they did that and now look at them!

A quote from Chris Carter

Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast. So, he’s got his work cut out for him because we covered so much territory.

Ugh, one more property to sully...

Fuck. How many times do these blackwashed remakes have to fail before they fucking get it?

They won't get "it," because they don't want to. It's like those smoothbrains who keep insisting that the next time that Communism is tried, it'll finally be successful the way that it's supposed to be, instead of turning into what it always does.

Cool, they're going to do to X-Files what they did to Star Trek, Star Wars and Doctor Who.

They'll make it explicitly partisan and ideologically driven, and deny that they're doing so, and accuse everyone who complains that the show sucks of being a bigot who was never a true fan.

Frankly this is a show that shouldn't be remade by anyone. I loved it in the 90s, but it was a product of its time. It's hard to make it work for the internet age.

and way to shit on the great original cast where both Arc and Monster of the Week actors all hit their mark--X, Tony Shalhoub, Shiroyama

presumably they'll redo the carnie episode with just physically normal people without any makeup, like the 2025 Snow White fiasco

also even funnier is that the villains are all literally to a man doughy 70something Northeasterner Feds with names like The Well-Fed Man and The Well-Manicured Man, surrounded by the entire apparatus of the overt and covert state they suborned and planning to cremate all humanity in exchange for them to be spared and live forever; even Topham Hatt's more complex than that

They did that re hash of the x files recently. I enjoyed it.

But im not sure im ready for another.

I just want the remakes to end.

Make something original instead of raping the memberberries for fucks sake!

I know, there are plenty more stories to tell with new characters in a new setting. Absolutely no need to despoil what (for 5 or 6 seasons?) was a perfect series.

Let them be.

I will not watch a show with black actors, they can't act.

Well we know how this is going to go.

Ruined is how it's going to go.

I can't wait to see who takes over the FBI from Walter Skinner, probably the blackest thing they can muster up with most of the department being headed by strong women or trans types. In their cringiest of men speaking like women voices, "I found a meanie everybody. Let's get him girls and DRAG him outta here!" Of course we MUST have some interracial relationships, ideally Scully getting with the misunderstood black guy leader of the resistance type.

And of course all the bad people will be straight white men.

I think they should just come out with it. "We found a cult where straight white men and straight white women are espousing traditional gender roles, educating their kids. We have footage of men teaching some boys how to chop wood with an axe and there is evidence of home baking!" They storm the complex, men in high heels, former women proudly showing their mastectomy scars with the word "SLUT" written on them, closely followed by former men wearing nappies and sucking their thumbs.

The episode closes with any pregnant women sent to abortion farms, all children sent to schools for re-education of the message and the parents permanently glued into furry costumes. The lead of the cult later comes out saying it was a mistake, apologises, and claims he has been living as a gay man the whole time. Another case solved by the dynamic duo.

What do you want to bet they go out of their way to gay it up.
