You need to remember that Hollywood is risk averse. They are not making things to make art but to make profit. Thats why there's like ten Fast and the Furious movies. Because they print money because car go fast boom explosion family.

When that realization hits home it makes perfect sense why we see remakes and adaptations and sequels. They already have a fanbase who will go see it.

"You need to realize ...." ... exactly what the meme is calling out? It's calling them uncreative, not declaring their efforts null and void. No one is saying they fail at money. They fail at meat on bones.
