I'm not saying this to trigger the Sword Art Online fandom I'm really not, but let's be serious and face facts, okay?

Given Kirito's antisocial, directly blunt personality, and penchant for teasing others, if Reki Kawahara were to make a reboot of Sword Art Online and take out the sinister themes, replace them with comical and happy themes to the anime, and not make any changes to Kirito's personality traits you would have an anime that would center around an online game troll (Kirito) that would make even PewDiePie look like an lolcow.

Basically, the reboot would still be bad if not worse than the original.
