LIN ? *
More common with long running series but not exclusive to them. Reasons vary, but usually the makers either grew tired of the old, the makers aren't the same as for the old ones and didn't do their homework properly, authors just feel the original idea was bad or unconductive to continuation of the mythos, and so forth.

NOT applicable to mythos reboots.
