It is a complete reboot though isn’t it? The original show on Netflix isn’t part of the canon of this one? If so then I don’t really get their complaint.

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Even if they wipe the continuity, which is still very unclear, is it really fair to call it a "complete reboot" when they're using the same cast for the most prominent roles?
A tonne of the same cast are returning. Bernthal is still the Punisher, D'Onofrio is still Kingpin... no, this is a calculated decision to pay the workers less.
Same actors != not a reboot. Iirc they’re going to have gal gadot as Wonder Woman again but are rebooting her character so the 2 previous movies are not canon, didn’t happen.
If they’re making a new series that has literally nothing to do with the previous one, zero connection to anything that happened in it, how is it not a reboot? Should they use different actors just to justify it being a reboot?
I am fully in agreement with you, although I can see why you and others didn't take that from my initial comment. The calculated decision I referred to was Disney's cynical claim that this is a reboot. They're shafting workers, we can all see it.
