Some interesting points about the advantages of different formats. I also like your discussion about Cycle and Mythos.
opportunity to reinterpret and remix a canon, not just in a new format, but often in a new time
Yes, that was one thing that grabbed me about Sherlock, was how it well it updated itself given the skills of the original character. I think that these reboots can be very well done and gain a whole new group of fans when they happen (Dr. Who and Lord of the Rings come to mind) A lot depends on understanding what is essential vs what is not in terms of keeping the characters and canon consistent while still updating.
When you mentioned Blood Ties it reminded me of how Marvel made Kamala Khan a fan artist instead of fanfiction writer.
