Space marshmallow is awesome as one of his tasks is pretty cool and it does come with a animated crater which kind of reminds me of the blob.
You can't run from the blob. What made the blob so scary is the more it consumed the bigger it gets. How can you run from something that eventually is the size of a town.

They are making a new one.
Not sure who but hope it will be good.
They need to use high tech cgi with a mix of actual physical special effects. Not just overload of cgi like in transformers.
