Maybe the online comic community is where that started. It's been a big fad with superhero comics for a while, now. When they've been around for 40 years or so and they're still supposed to be in their 20s or teens... every now and then the publishers decide the perfect answer is to start over. Doesn't generally work any better there than in movies. I’ve been hearing “reboot” regarding comic book characters for a few years. Maybe the online comic community is where that started.
