Sammy: Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! The new Spider-Man movie is coming out tomorrow! Hey Boss! Aren't you excited?

Commentator: Meh.

Sammy: (Stares at him) Meh? MEH? How can you say 'meh' to one of the most anticipated movies since the Avengers?

Commentator: Quite easily, Sammy. I have no interest in seeing the new Spider-Man movie. EVER.

Sammy: -What? Not even to commentate on?

(The Commentator stares at Sammy)

Commentator: AHAHA! AHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA! Ah. Oh. You were being serious. No Sammy. Not even to do that.

Sammy: But Boss? How can you not be excited?

Professor: Sir, is this because it's a reboot?

Commentator: No, I was initially for the reboot! When I heard the news I thought 'hey! A rejuvenation is just what this franchise needed!' That was before I learnt that they were going to redo the origin story again!

Sammy: So? What's wrong with that?

Commentator: WHAT'S WRONG? Sam, it's too soon, that's what's wrong!

Sammy: Oh come on, Boss! I mean, if people accepted 'Batman Begins' as a retelling of the origin story, then why not 'The Amazing Spider-Man'.

Commentator: Because Sam, no. 1, the time gap between 'Batman' and 'Batman Begins' is larger than that between 'Spider-Man' and 'The amazing Spider-Man', and secondly, 'Batman Begins' came out at a time when people had given up and moved on from the Batman franchise not expectantly waiting for the next film before being told 'bad news and good news, folks! The old team has left, so we're going to start from the beginning all over again!'

Sammy: You mean like how you did when you lost all your progress on 'Heavy Rain' when it froze towards the end and you tried to unplug and replug it only to find that all your precious hours were corrupted?

(The Commentator stares at Sammy, before pulling a chain that causes a piano to fall on Sammy).

Commentator: You had to remind me of that experience, didn't you, Sammy. Look, I'm not the only one who thinks this! Just listen to the expert!

Doctor: It's true. It's like I was telling this rebooter earlier, that contrary to popular opinion, reboots DON'T solve all your film problems! Because if you reboot a movie that's already good, you risk alienating those who enjoy the original, and if you repeat the same basic story too soon, people will just end up comparing the two movies and may decide that the original's better. Only reboot something if it's really bad and if you do repeat the same story, make sure there's a sufficient time gap before you do! I mean how can you take the Incredible Hulk as an example where reboots work, yet completely ignore the fact of what they didn't do was REPEAT the origin story! They just recapped the story in the credits, which could have easily have been done in the opening credits of a Spider-Man movie! I mean it's like making all of your movies 3D, yet ignoring the fact that Avatar was FILMED, rather than CONVERTED. And we all know how that turned out! Although 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader' wasn't too bad.

Commentator: There, you see?

Professor: Sir, I fear that like most parodiers, you're only assuming that everyone thinks exactly the same as you, and I think that you're just thinking it is bad out of prejudice out of the one thing you didn't like them doing. I on the other hand believe that not only will many people want to see it, but it will be critically acclaimed as well.

Commentator: Prof, listen to me. It's going to be a disaster! It's going to have mixed reviews due to all the ways it's going to try to be different and darker and grittier (because backfiring is what tends to happen), and it's going to be a box office bomb, and poor Andrew Garfield's career is going to plummet because people are gonna blame him for the movie's failure for not being a big enough star even though Chris Hemsworth was hardly a big movie star and his first big movie was a commercial success!

Professor: Well we'll just have to see who's right tomorrow, shant we?

Commentator: Yes. Yes we shall.
