idk man, I don't think Arthurian stories are the best example to make your point.
A lot of Arthurian titles more akin to revamps than remakes and/or sequels. For example, T.H. White books are basically the writer grabing the original legends, turning them on their head and make the case that might doesn't make right, while the originals are all about honor and chivaric values.
But anyway, speaking more generally, in my opinion a lot of remakes and reboots in recent memory have been a let down. Disney work for example has been very underwhelming and clear nostalgia baits. I would rather they focused their efforts on making new things (including things based on stories that already exist, that's fine as well. A lot of their movies are basically adaptations of old stories)
