Reimagined Eps 4: Jumanji
Although Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) is a direct sequel to Jumanji (1995), it had an extreme makeover. The sequel had to trek through many obstacles to attempt to surpass its predecessor. And I think the changes are worth mentioning, such as the form of the game and how the sequel made the jump from thriller to comedy.
