To me, the analogy would be more along the lines of having a spouse who did really stupid things. You could either ignore her, hoping she would stop doing stupid things, or you could pay her $10 to do said stupid things. You generally like your wife, you have fond memories, etc., but she is now beginning to act like an idiot, watching more and more Wayons Brothers movies.
I say, ignore her if you wish for her behavior to change. If you give her $10, then she will turn into a crappy sequel.
In my opinion, new interest and merchandise are not desirable if they suck. There is a chance that this leads to more good stuff for nostalgic collectors--like the TF movie appears to have done for the Universe/Classics 2.0 figures. But, if the Joe fans of the world demanded excellence, and not the director of "Mummy Returns," I suspect that we would be happier at the end of the day with a potential Joe movie treated a little more seriously, and a little less like a corporately manufactured, playing-to-12-year-olds garbage-fest.
