General Discussion What the difference
So that new Carrie came out and people like it, including yours truly. Even though I never watched The Doctor Sleep his other king adaptation so far I thought it was great.
What I don't like is that people acting like this will replace the original just because of the differences and of course I'm one of those people who will say the original is There you can read it and you can teach and share it with your kids someday.
But then I realised, "Why do I say that?" and then came another realisation.
Why are people so excited when something goes in the public domain, while stuff like 2026 Carrie gets a boot kick for the change for just the slightest thing?
And this is the real question because after Mickey, or at least the Steamboat Willie Mickey made to the public domain, people have been excited to a point people are keeping track of this shit now.
So I want to ask the people what is different is it because once something is in the public domain, it is controlled by the people, whereas whenever a new reboot, reimagining, remake, or adaptation comes out, it is controlled by the studio at the thing.
Or is there something deeper?
So I want to know what y'all think

No clue what you're trying to say or ask but Carrie has had multiple adaptations since the DePalma flick. There's a tv movie version from the early 2000's and there's a version from like a decade ago with Chloe Moretz.
Some people just can't handle change, that's it. Who cares.

Ok I guess you're ESL which explains the incoherency.
Anyway, there's no difference. Some people like em, some don't. It's the same for any other version.

I think you might want to edit your post a little so it's easier to understand. Sentences like the one above make your point pretty hard to figure out.
It seems like you're hearing a lot of negative stuff about the new remake? But I haven't heard anyone saying it'll replace the original (book? or movie? not sure).

Hmmm. Yeah, not sure what that means either. Is English not your first language? If not, you're doing a great job, but it's still a little difficult to figure out your meaning.

Many books or stories are remade as films more than once before they are even in the public domain. Sometimes a remake brings something different. Once something is in the public domain it’s easier for someone to use that story.
But I think what you are asking is why someone might prefer one version of a story over another? It’s a very case by case basis.
I would argue the movie The Thing by John Carpenter is a much better piece of art than the movie The Thing from the 1950’s But that is specific to those two pieces of filmmaking. I prefer Hitchcock’s original Psycho to any remake, even the “shot for shot” version. And we could talk about that but it’s specific to that film, to that specific piece of art.
I prefer Kubrick’s The Shining to the book. Even though books and film are different mediums.
I prefer the book Never Let Me Go to the film, though I think the film was well done too.
It’s not universal that I prefer a book to a movie or the other way around, or that a prefer a remake to an original or the other way around. Each piece is its own work and it is fun to compare and contrast but also each work must stand on its own and may tell its own unique story or give you a unique feeling/emotion or perspective.

No to be honest if you don't like it if fine my problem is everyone act like it will replace the original witch no it still king and his publisher will most likely re release it after the show been released.
My problem is with people being excited for character and there story entering the public domain.
Why complain when Hollywood make big changes to a IP while the people doing that with character.
And your right about one things being it easy to write new story with public domain character because there no studio over sight and stuff like that.

public domain stuff feels like reclaiming a story, while remakes feel like a product being handed back to you with new packaging
