The RoboCop remake forced me to choose between nostalgia and my own sanity
Back in 2014 I had a free Sunday and my buddy kept pushing me to see the new RoboCop in theaters instead of rewatching the 1987 original for the 40th time. I picked the remake because I figured a modern take couldnt ruin something I loved that much. Three scenes in I was already checking my phone and by the end I felt like I wasted $12 and 2 hours of my life. The irony is the original is still there on my shelf, it never went anywhere, but I still chose the shiny new garbage. Has anyone else paid money for a remake when you KNEW the original was sitting at home waiting for you?

This is just how we treat everything now, the new thing always looks better until you actually try it. Same reason I keep buying the "improved" version of stuff I already own and liked, then get mad when it sucks. The old one was fine the whole time, we just cant help chasing the shiny box.
