Or the
Land of the Giants reboot becomes a thing. Or a
Doctor Cyclops reboot.
Land of Giants doesn't feature any shrinking, just tiny people. Those storylines don't do it for me. For me the the fireworks is the shrinking itself. Speaking of Dr Cyclops, Amblin Entertainment had Michael Crichton's Micro in development, but that looks to be indefinitely stalled. And the Honey I Shrunk the Kids reboot is stalled as well. But I will forever be holding out for Incredible Shrinking Woman, or something vaguely adjacent. I gotta have the baggy clothes stuff.
Land of the Giants is really no different than shrinking. The little people went from their normal world to an identical world, just many times larger, so why is it different? Yes, the LOTG series has some weak plots and it could be much better. "Borrower" plot lines, true, don't involve the perspective of shrinking as they have always lived in the "giant" world, but once they begin interacting with the beans, the difference in size is interesting, at least for me. The Portal appears to be a LOTG thing, so it's good for me....except the weird masks. Not sure what that is all about, but we'll have to wait and see. For me, it's the media format. I prefer photocollage. Most of the CGI doesn't interest me, although I have seen a few very advanced CGI that nearly looks like a real photograph.
