I'll never understand the hand-wringing over 'fan service' in reboots or sequels.
That's the point! If you're gonna capitalize on the goodwill generated by the original, there'd better by god be some payoff.
If not, just form your own franchise. That was always the biggest mistake Rian Johnson made with TLJ and that the idiots in charge of the other ghostbusters 'sequel' made.
Fan services is a necessary predicate for a successful reboot or sequel. That's the entire reason you have one to begin with.
