A 'Goonies' sequel is officially in the works with Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus producing.

There's zero reason to oppose this. There's many more bad movies than good movies. The loss of a potential good movie is worse than any harm that can be done by a bad movie, which happens all the time. No harm can come to the original unless we decide to think of it that way, we're adults and we have free will.
We have the power.... To forget
They also just made a spiritual sequel to Goonies as Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and it was great.
Also Finding Ohana.
It's also easy to believe that it'll suck. And it likely will.
But it's such a good damned cast (speaking of the team of kids) who have careers of decades full of accomplishments, and I'm curious to see what they pull together.
But if it's they're the parents and there's a new team of kids, it won't work. Might as well make a new Stranger Things at that point.
Surely its not the same cast.
A new group of kids having adventures would appeal to me more. I don't even want cameos from the OG Goonies, that kind of shit make legacy sequals feel much too bloated.
The old cast have all signed on.
I agree with you that doing service to all the parents and their kids would be exhausting, along the lines of the Beetlejuice sequel.
I actually didn't mind the Beetlejuice sequal, it was busy but fun. So I guess it comes down to implementation more than hard rules.
But Jurassic World 3 would have been better served being split into two films, one where they visit the Jurassic Park crew for some guidance and a separate film where the Jurassic World crew can resolve their own issues and complete their series.
Pushing both into a single 147 minute movie is a bit silly.
I have no problem with sequals taking an idea/world and not the characters from the original. Star Trek has been doing this pretty successfully with their TV shows for years.
The Beetlejuice sequel was OK but Monica Bellucci was really useless in that movie even if she was the most important character. I was a bit disappointed.
I don't think a middle aged group would capture the spirit of the original. But I also don't think there's any reason it can't work out any specific way, it comes down to execution.
