But, would you consider "Mona Lisa II" a valuable addition to the Louvre?
would you consider grants given to artists to remake old songs/paintings/movies
"money well spent"?
or would you call it "weak", "unimaginitive" and "cashing in on other's succes"?

On the other hand, almost every single opera ever written was an adaptation of a previous work.
As far as I'm aware, 90% of Mozart's Operas were adaptations of previous works. For instance the Marriage of Figaro was an adaptation of a
play written only 2 years earlier. It was the 18th century equivalent of "The Lion King: The Musical"
