An Open Letter to Hollywood: Preserve Our Childhood Icons

Dear Hollywood,

I want to express my disappointment regarding the recent adaptation of a beloved 1980s icon—Jem and the Holograms. Based on the trailer, it seems that women in their 30s and 40s are once again faced with the end of their youthful nostalgia. Many of us are reluctantly tucking away our hot pink eye shadow and Hasbro dolls, trying to suppress our initial excitement about this film.

What exactly have you done to Jem? The original Jem and her Holograms were not just a musical group; they represented empowerment and independence. Jem was a savvy executive running a music company, leading a double life as a rock star. She wasn’t a hapless teen who stumbled upon fame through a viral video or the help of a record executive. The Jem I admired was resourceful, fierce, and truly outrageous.

Unfortunately, the portrayal in this movie seems to transform her into a victim of her circumstances. The early glimpses suggest a character who is easily manipulated rather than a strong, independent woman. This is contrary to the essence of what Jem represented, and I am utterly exhausted by Hollywood’s repeated failures to honor our childhood memories. If you cannot produce a script that even remotely resembles the original, then please focus on creating original content instead.

When will Hollywood executives understand that their attempts to remake classics often fall flat? Films like Footloose, The Karate Kid, and Clash of the Titans were successful for a reason—they captured a unique magic that cannot simply be recaptured through modern reinterpretation. No amount of recasting or rewriting can bring back that original charm.

Moreover, the inexplicable success of franchises like Transformers, which rely heavily on action sequences and CGI, does not signify a winning formula for every nostalgic property. Instead, if you had embraced the adventurous spirit that Jem embodied, the film might have resonated better with audiences.

I urge you to leave our cherished memories intact, allowing us to reminisce about them as they were meant to be remembered. Let’s allow the creativity of emerging screenwriters to flourish through original ideas, rather than recycling past successes.

In conclusion, please respect our childhood favorites and let them remain a fond part of our memories, rather than tarnished by subpar adaptations.

Sincerely,
Jordan
