My off the cuff reaction: Oh Lord, how people are defining "reimaginings" these days. It's like, yes, your epic fantasy is so different because your hero is a redhead. Sorry; sometimes I get frustrated by claims that something radical and different is being done when really the results are the same.
I think I've said this before, but one of the reasons I identify more with horror than with fantasy is because there's less trope exaltation/trope angst, I feel. MCs can die, or not. Monsters can be killed, or not.
