It's not really the "rape" part that gets me, is just how people allow inferior products to fuck up their love of the original. You think I care that much that Lucas and Spielberg made a shitty Indiana Jones movie? Meh. I mean, it would have been sweet if it was awesome, but I still got the original trilogy on Blu-Ray, Indiana Jones is still the shit, life keeps moving.
It's like when that guy asks Alan Moore how he feels about all the shitty adaptations of his work, and he just points to his bookcase.
"Look, there they are. Still right there, where I left them."
That if something new coming out devalues your precious memories, then they weren't precious to begin with. Trust me as a spiderman fan I should know. Parallax will hate me for bringing it up, but at one time Marvel was going to recon Peter into being Aunt's bastard child that she gave to her sister to raise because she was married but couldn't have kids. Did I rage? Nope
