That's been the elusive key to nostalgia that half of these remake projects (80s and 90s franchise revival movies in particular) don't understand.

It's about recreating the experience of doing that thing the first time that people want, not the experience of doing the exact same thing. To recreate that first time experience, you have to understand where your audience is now, and also give them a comparable "new" experience to what they had originally.
