Remember back in the day, when there was that prevalent, cheaply made form of entertainment that was So Bad, It's Good, or at least good but dated? Wouldn't you like to bring it back? Well, if you're in Hollywood and you have a high enough profile, you can. And you can do it better with a brand-new franchise, better special effects, better actors, a better budget and, hopefully, better writing. If the old form of entertainment has been deconstructed, then this work will probably feature a lot of reconstructing. If especially successful, this can result in a game of Follow the Leader as everyone else begins mining the past (or, more frequently, ripping off the successful modern version) in the hope that lightning will strike twice. If these follow-ups are of poor quality, or if there's just too many of them (or both, as is often the case), then it can result in the genre being thrown right back in the trash until someone else decides it's worth reviving. Works like this also risk running afoul of So Bad, It Was Better, where the original genre had certain beloved flaws which are lost in the revival. If done especially well, it can hide the fact that it is a throwback. It is only upon reviewing its similarity to past incarnations that the connection is made. Compare Older Than They Think. Note this should not cover instances of a specific franchise being brought back, e.g., the later incarnations of Star Trek or Doctor Who, or the Flash Gordon movie. This trope is much closer to a Spiritual Successor than an actual Continuity Reboot or Revival. Super-Trope to Two-Fisted Tales. Has nothing to do with Evolutionary Levels, we promise. This trope is also the natural environment of Deliberately Monochrome. Compare Retraux, Homage, Genre Deconstruction, Decon-Recon Switch and Affectionate Parody. |

Watchmen isn't one of these. The in-story Tales of the Black Freighter comic, on the other hand, is, homaging the old EC Comics horror/mystery titles of The '50s. The horror/mystery genre never completely died outnote DC's own House of Mystery ran uninterrupted from the early 1950s through the early 1980s, and there was a short-lived revival of the title starring Elvira around the time Watchmen itself came out, but after the rise of The Comics Code they were pushed to the margins while superhero comics like Batman and Superman took over the mainstream of the medium. Tales of the Black Freighter was Moore's take on what the best-selling comic in a world without superhero comics would look like. | |

The Dark Sun setting for Dungeons & Dragons is a throwback to the weirder pre-Tolkienian pulp fantasy - namely, Clark Ashton Smith's proto-Desert Punk Zothique stories, Planetary Romances like the John Carter of Mars novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Robert E. Howard at his absolute strangest. There's also a lot of influence from Jack Vance, who came a bit later but was very much in the same tradition. | |

Poker Face: To classic Mystery of the Week shows from the The '70s and '80s such as Columbo and Murder, She Wrote, along with a Walking the Earth Fugitive Arc that recalls The Incredible Hulk (1977) and Kung Fu (1972), or even earlier stuff like The Fugitive. The episode "The Orpheus Syndrome" mixes its influences even further. The main plot resembles a '60s Alfred Hitchcock thriller, most specifically Vertigo, but the plot revolves around 1980s monster movies, with guest star Nick Nolte as a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Phil Tippett. His character also points out that the '80s monster movies he worked on were themselves examples of this trope, being throwbacks to '50s creature features. |

American Horror Story: American Horror Story: Asylum's central "Bloody Face" arc is an affectionate throwback to old-school Slasher Movies, which have largely declined in popularity since the 1990s. It opens with a horny twenty-something couple being stalked and butchered by an implacable serial killer in a grotesque leather mask while exploring the ruins of a hellish insane asylum, then spends the rest of the season exploring the twisted chain of events that led to the killer's birth five decades previously. It has all of the gleefully over-the-top gore and insanity of the likes of Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but with much higher production values, a genuinely talented cast of character actors, and enough clever plot twists to appeal to more discriminating audiences in The New '10s. American Horror Story: 1984 is the show returning to the '80s Slasher Movie well, this time influenced by summer camp films like Friday the 13th and wearing a retraux aesthetic played for the highest camp. |

Batman: The Brave and the Bold is an animated throwback to the Silver Age incarnation of Batman, where instead of being a grim loner, he's a somewhat cheery fellow with a dry, ironic wit, closely resembling the Super Friends incarnation. Notable is the fact that Bruce Wayne almost never appears, and in comparatively serious episode "Chill of the Night!", where we actually see Bruce Wayne, face and all, he looks like his 1990s incarnation. The trope is lampshaded in the Batmite episode where the little imp reads a "prepared statement" in response to some 4th wall breaking humor, explaining that this incarnation of Batman is just as legitimate and true to source material as the "tortured dark avenger crying out for mommy and daddy". | |

Schitt's Creek updates many of the tropes found in Screwball Comedy, especially in its Love Triangle story and class-based comedy. Screwball comedies of the 1930s often had a queer subtext, but the show makes it text by allowing pansexual and flamboyant David to be a protagonist, while the queer characters of the past were usually supporting characters and their sexuality was never directly addressed. | |

Nissan did this in the late eighties and early nineties with their so-called "Pike cars": the Figaro (a fifties-styled small convertible)note Known to British TV fans as Sarah's car in The Sarah Jane Adventures, the Pao (a sixties-styled small car), the Be-1 (a seventies-styled small car), and the S-Cargo (a minivan blatantly inspired by the Citroen 2CV van). More recently, they intend to do it again with the new Nissan Z, which launched in 2021 and its concept looks very similar to the old Datsun 240Z. |

Within the tabletop gaming fandom, there's a specific movement known as the "Old-School Renaissance", or "OSR" for short. While there's a lot of rose-tinted view of gaming history and the movement is, by now, long past its initial singular focus on just one game, on top of a whole rabbit hole of other issues, the original premise behind the movement was to bring back the style of Dungeons & Dragons as it was remembered to have been in early Seventies. It worked: there's now a whole slew of games ranging from simple retro-clones with Serial Numbers Filed Off, through various refinements of the basic concept and transplantations to other settings beyond Sword and Sorcery, to games built from the scratch to evoke a similar play experience through entirely different rulesets. | |

Danger 5 was originally conceived as a throwback to the pulpy men's adventure magazines of the 1960s of the "weasels ripped my flesh" variety, where any animal is seconds away from violence, clothes fall apart at a moment's notice, Everybody Smokes, and Those Wacky Nazis are around every corner. This results in a very strange Retro Universe where World War II is being fought in what seems to be an over-the-top version of The '60s. There's also some influence from old Lost World movies, early toku shows, and Tuxedo and Martini spy fiction. The second season updates the setting to The '80s, resulting in a Darker and Edgier Sadist Show with a neon-soaked Cannon aesthetic, the constant threat of commies, ninjas, domestic sitcoms, cocaine everywhere, and every episode ending in a toy commercial. |

Contrastly, the movie throws back to Animated Musicals from the 60s to 70s, mainly those by Disney and their imitators.

Immortal Hulk is heavily inspired by Atomic Age horror comics, such as the earliest portrayal of the Hulk by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but with a contemporary spin. It's Spiritual Successor by the same author, The Immortal Thor, does the same with Heroic Fantasy comics of the same era and after, homaging Thor's earlier appearances under writers like Kirby. Meanwhile, the Hulk run that succeeded Immortal Hulk continued the horror comic throwback by moving on to paying tribute to 70s and 80s era Gothic Horror comics like Man-Thing or The Tomb of Dracula. | |

Pretty Cure was this to the Magical Girl Warrior genre, with added Postmodernism and Dragon Ball-styled fighting sequences to have it stand out even then. While later seasons were more colorful and brighter, the art style from the first season to the third resembled more of a Retraux 80s or 90s shonen anime like their big hit in that era, Dragon Ball Z, with later seasons looking like a modernized colorful version of Sailor Moon style afterwards. Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure does this in a different direction, combining PreCure's signature style with that of a Space Opera from The '80s; it plays fast and loose with the rules of more "hard" sci-fi.

Idol Dreams, which began in 2013, is meant to be a throwback to the older Magic Idol Singer anime and manga of the 80s and 90s (and of which Arina Tanemura's previous work, Full Moon, is also an example). However, there are some twists on the setup; the manga is aimed at an older audience than usual, the 31-year-old main character ages herself down to become an idol instead of being a child with an Older Alter Ego, and she does this with an age-altering drug instead of magic. | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes heavily homages and parodies '90s Saturday morning action cartoons like Captain Planet and the Planeteers, complete with Totally Radical dialogue, Retraux music and art, and (intentionally) flawed moral lessons. One episode was even an outright Crossover with Captain Planet. | |

Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?: '70s/'80s vintage cartoons. Its art style is derived from that of Schoolhouse Rock!. | |

Warrior (2019) was developed from a dusted-off series pitch by Bruce Lee, and as such, feels very much like a throwback to the sorts of martial arts movies he was making in the '60s and early '70s. There are also quite a few nods (of varying degrees of subtlety) to Lee's movies, and the hero, Ah Sahm, is essentially an unapologetic Bruce Lee Clone. | |

The genre of Synthwave Electro (which includes such labels as Rosso Corsa Records and electro acts such as Kavinsky and Power Glove) is a genre throwback to synth-heavy '80s film soundtracks. The soundtracks to films such as Drive (2011) and Kung Fury, and games such as Hotline Miami and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (which are themselves throwbacks to '80s action films), provide very good examples. | |

Sheep's Clothing deliberately hearkens back to the darker, Bram Stoker style vampires as a deliberate rejection of the romantic Twilight-style vampires. | |

The 2013 Captain America series was done in the style of '60s/'70s Jack Kirby comics, with plot points heavily connected to the Vietnam War, outlandish villains, and crazy technology. | |
