Honestly if they wrote an original story it would most likely be garbage but I could respect that they didn’t ruin someone else’s work with the “reflect a modern audience” crap. Myths/legends/folklore are all over the world they could work with. I grew up in Oklahoma and there is a lot of Native American history we learned in school and had speakers from different Tribes come talk to us. Some told us legends of their tribes. I could concoct a story based on what I remember. So they could as well.

I’m just so tired of people who most likely never read the source material demanding changes and ruining it.
