This doesn't do much to reassure me. That the movie had to reinvent the franchise and change established lore was never my problem with it... or at least I'm over the fact it had to evolve.
From everything that I've seen and read it just looks like a lousy film; whether it follows the Marvel continuity or not.

I hope you're right, but I guess I'm way more pessimistic about it. I'm sure there will be some resurgence to the brand, but only temporary. Everything about the movie, seems to me to be completely forgettable, washed away once the next big blockbuster rolls around.
I don't see the kids of today latching onto this the way we were absorbed by the 80's incarnation. It just looks way too generic and uninspired to make any kind of real dent into pop-culture.
