That's a HORRIBLE adaptation!

Walker decides to kill himself right from the beginning, effectively shortening the game's length into less than 30 minutes.

Spec Ops: The Line, except the final battle has you slaughtering your teammate with a burning sword while listening to an incredible tragic piano music. And then you find out that it is your destiny to set the entire Dubai on fire and you have no control over your acts, not because you're a psychopathic soldier, but because you are none other than the incarnation of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.

(Bump?)

Ouch.

Hulk made in the 90's staring Mel Gibson as Bruce Banner and Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Hulk.

They haven't quite perfected the CGI technology to morph Mel Gibson into Ahnold naturally, so the director resorts to unconvincing camera tricks (and possibly toxic green skin paint) to try to convince audiences that the two actors are fundamentally the same character.

Final Fantasy, but with the plot and characters from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and the CG effects from Final Fantasy: Unlimited.

It does okay, but it doesn't save Square (who spent a lot of money on making a 3D game on the NES/Famicom), who then file for bankruptcy. Final Fantasy is given a Reboot by a Western Developer in the Mid-2000s.

Beauty And The Beast, Walt Disney's first Feature Length film (released in 1939) that follows late 20's/early 30's Animation Conventions (like Rubber Hose).

Sounds like cool idea.

An Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front

The whole thing ends up becoming a Stealth Prequel of Animal Farm

Monster Hunter as a Raising Sim game.

It is now a realistic Monster Rancher game.

Game Of Thrones, The '80s Children's Cartoon and toy line.

It quickly becomes the western counterpart of Berserk.

Nineteen Eighty-Four, except the Big Brother is very real, in the form of an apathetic, incomprehensible Eldritch Abomination toying with a planet of puny ants by running a Religion of Evil disguised as an iron-fist government.

A showdown of the Eldritch Abomination ensues when Cthulhu wakes up.

A humanized adaptation of Usagi Yojimbo.

It just becomes a generic, dime-a-dozen samurai movie... with an entire cast of white people.

I can't possibly imagine how this could go over badly.

Blackadder as a Shōnen battle anime.

If you ever wanted to see six different versions of Rowan Atkinson fighting themselves...well, you'd probably be better off waiting for that Mr. Bean/Johnny English crossover.

Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark as a video game. Difficulty: published by LJN Toys and developed by one of Acclaim's internal studios.

Critics set it on fire because of the poor quality of the game including the badly timed musical rhythm scenes, the shoddy graphics, blatant misuse of brand name, clunky combat and all the other things.

Five billion yen Live-Action Adaptation of Pokémon Red produced by Toho during Pokemon's popularity in 1998 that had top-notch Tokusatsu special effects and suitmation similar to Godzilla, whose main character is the scrapped female protagonist named Leaf and had pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini as Giovanni.

The first thing Leaf does is to join Team Rocket and abuse her power by summoning a 50-foot tall Dragonite and obliterate cities, to the point every Pokemon trainer teams up with each other to stop her from destroying the world. Fortunately, Leaf is a Decoy Protagonist plus a Disc-One Final Boss and as soon as she dies, Red takes up the position as the real protagonist.

Laid-Back Camp, except the main casts get picked off one by one by a giant pickle dinosaur thing at the middle of the story, and the whole story switches from a generic Slice of Life story into a very dark, gory and merciless Coming of Age Story about how the remaining girls survive the onslaughts ranging from giant monstrosities to various unspeakable eldritch horrors in a forest with homemade weapons and learn how to hunt animals.

Talk about horrible.

A dark and gritty reboot of Astro Boy.

In a post apocalyptic world, child robot Astro Boy is an edgy anti-hero who only hurts people if they come in contact with his creator and family.

David Lynch's take on Rick and Morty

edited 3rd Apr '18 5:35:46 PM by n3rd_d4sh

The Cronenberg'd universe would probably be the among the least screwed-up aspects of that show, and since Rick had been implied to have serious affects to his universe (multiverse perhaps?) in the first place...

Monkey Island, the dark, gritty, dead-serious reboot

The game is impossible to win, because when you try to cross the cliff with the rubber chicken, you instead fall and die. And the game shows you all the gory details.

Cuphead: the Point And Click Adventure Game

A Point and click adventure would make for a good setting for rubber-hose style setting, but it won't really fit well with cuphead.

The Arabian Nights, but in a present day setting.

Aladdin stays roughly the same, but in an urban city, making Jasmine some kind of celebrity rather then a princess and with more modern styled clothing. I can't sadly think of anything for the others.

The Muppet Show by the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared guys.

edited 5th Apr '18 6:03:21 AM by n3rd_d4sh

Every episode ends with the entire cast being killed by their guest star. Their guest stars are also now people like Marilyn Manson and Eric Andre.

The Princess Bride as directed by Peter Jackson.

Would be three movies to long.

Watership Down, but all the cast are humans instead of talking animals.

They... they don't even change any of the dialogue. It's exactly the same, which means that all the parts about them not understanding the human world make a lot less sense.

Kill Bill: The Muppets version

All the blood and gores are replaced by tomato sauce and yarns.

Kirby, except every single character is now humanised into cute girls.

edited 8th Apr '18 11:28:44 PM by Mhazard

Due to the fact that Kirby “sucks” their opponents, the whole thing is taken the wrong way and the R34 art comes almost immediately.

Animaniacs: but it’s a movie made by Steven Spielberg, not a cartoon.
