Write A Plot From The Title (Writing Game)

Go To

If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...

Troper A: Soul Surfer

Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.

Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

A crime drama/black comedy series in the vein similar to Fargo focusing on Linda Manners, a homely bookstore clerk married to a judge who is thrust into a world of crime after a brush with a notorious Mafia hitman leaves her legally dead for two minutes and her family moreso. Determined to exact revenge on the hitman she takes up learning to use firearms and martial arts. When this fails hilariously it attracts the attention of a retired FBI agent who decides to take her under his wing to teach her the skills she needs to track down and kill the hitman.

A sandbox adventure game set in a tech noir style city which focuses on the player character and his gang running amok. While the visual style was praised heavily, with many stating it rivaled its inspiration: Blade Runner. The story, however, is painfully lacking with a stereotypical GTA style plot involving rising through the gang's ranks, and reaching the top of a criminal enterprise. Toss in some sci-fi aspects like Artificial Human tropes and a a lot of swear words and you have a polarizing, if not ridiculously fun game.

A deranged serial killer has been targeting the monarchs of the world, seeking to mix all of their blood together to brew a potion that he believes will grant him immortality. Kings Philippe of Belgium, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Mohammed VI of Morocco team up with Queens Margarethe II of Denmark and Elizabeth II of the UK to find the perpetrator. It turns out the murderer is part of a syndicate led by a resurrected Gavrilo Princip. Lots of explosive action sequences and royalty-related one-liners ensue.

A sequel to Full Metal Jacket where Joker ends up in a monastery where he gets tangled in a magical mayhem and gets thought to be the Supreme Magician. Actually the movie is just a pitch for a comic-based movie that gets scrapped when the studio can't secure the rights to make the movie themseves, so they use Full Metal Jacket's background and turn that movie into a sequel.
