   For me it's definitely all the idiotic changes that simply make the   
   "new version" a very different show, so why did they bother re-using   
   the same title? They may as well just have made a completely new show   
   to begin with (e.g. "Warship Gigantica") and say it is very loosely   
   based on the original.   
      
   Almost always these silly remakes / reboots / reimaginings are done by   
   some new egotistical fool who thinks they know better then the person   
   with the talent to come up with the original, as to how it "should have   
   been done".   
      
   There's usually some nonsense excuse that re-using the same name means   
   they have a "built-in audience", but that's utter rubbish - the changes   
   mean the original fans won't like it, and people who didn't like the   
   original are unlikely to watch something with the same name.   
      
   Even resurrected shows (including prequels, sequels, and spin-offs)   
   with mostly the same cast and crew rarely work because everyone has   
   changed and time has moved on, so it's never really the same "magic" as   
   it was the first time around.
