I’m all for it but Chris hit the nail with his statement and I think it’s hard to beat or repeat:

People ask the reasons for its success and the answer I give to them is David and Gillian. If it weren’t for that relationship, and the actors who portrayed Mulder and Scully, the show would not have been the hit it became.

Yep, I mean there’s a reason you never see anyone chomping at the bit to obsessively discuss the Doggett/Reyes era. Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish are both fine actors but they weren’t Mulder and Scully.

Fox and Chris Carter tried to see if they could pull a “Law & Order/ER” style rotating cast without losing their audience and it just didn’t work. Why? Because it turns out the show wasn’t actually bigger than Mulder and Scully.

At least a reboot would be better than another revival.

The guy behind Black Panther is doing it?

Oh no…

If you're going to cherry pick one of his movies to make some sort of point you could at least pick his lowest rated film (Space Jam: A New Legacy). Most of Coogler's films score well with both critics and audiences so I think it's fine to wait and see before getting too excited.
