Seeing all of that "2020s stuff" in the poster is giving me really bad vibes. It gives me the same feeling as the Futurama cryptocurrency episode, where the commentary was late to the punch and delivered by writers either out of step with the subject or with the original show. I know KOTH was a premise about an old fashioned guy dealing with encroaching modern times, but it was written genuinely. The poster just cramming so many things in at once worries me that will trying too aggressively recreate that original premise by slapping the most bleeding edge topics into it.

When the writers of the show are now those that grew up casually watching the original and just slap together half remembered high notes and memes

Between Hardwick's death and the bullshit that happened with excluding Jonathan Joss i'm very very not enthused about this.

Oh god......Hank is going to be a trump supporter officially in canon now, isn't he?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck........

In the same way the original show intentionally avoided addressing 9/11, Iraq, or the Bush presidency I hope the revival has the sense to focus on the local lives of the characters instead of Trump.
The closest the original ever got to specific high level current political figures was the episode with then Governor Bush where Hank was rattled by his handshake rather than any comment on policy by the show.

Hard to imagine these characters existing today. The whole premise was that they lived in a backwards world but because they were good people who loved one another it all sort of works out.
