User blog:VicGeorge2K9/Pointless re-adaptations

My comment on the issue of everybody creating an adaptation of an existing comic book story or cartoon show episode that is part of the canon of their story series is this: does it really add anything new from what was told before, or is it just going to be the same characters going through the same motions? That's my question because I'm thinking that, since most people are probably not going to alter the origin of the Smurflings or Baby Smurf from how it was told in either the cartoon show or the comic books, it would be pointless to just re-adapt the same story ad infinitum if there's nothing uniquely different about the story that people haven't heard before.
