What if x wrote y

In this thread, we pick a work of fiction, and a writer. We then guess what would happen if the writer wrote that fiction.

For example, What if George R. R. Martin wrote Naruto?

So much backstabbings and deaths that everyone dies.

John Woo written Disney's Mulan

Mexican Standoff galore, darker and edgier, outlaws.

What if H.P. Lovecraft wrote Redwall?

The Mice go mad from gazing upon the *875fdhaj!

What if Neil Gaiman wrote The Dresden Files.

The novel becomes much more snarky, if that's possible.

What if Michael Bay directed Star Wars?

More, far more unnecessary explosions and boobs.

What if Games Workshop created The Penguins of Madagascar?

Explosions, lots of explosions, Leia wears the gold bikini at every scene and somehow the Rebels are replaced with the US Army.

Skipper and co are a bunch of elite soldiers slaughtering Cannon Fodder looking like various Zoo Animals.

If Shigeru Miyamoto made Half-Life.

It's more like a platformer. Gordon Freeman jumps on headcrabs, and can get guns from hitting blocks. The violence is much reduced.

What if Gen Urobuchi wrote Naruto?

bump.

The premise would change Naruto would have trust issues and become more cynical due to his childhood. The premise would more dark similar to the warring states. Also there would be a lot more death. In the end Kaguya would succeed with her Infinite Tsukuyomi.


What if Ken Akamatsu wrote Harry Potter.

All the chicks want to bang Harry. Like this fanfic I once read...

What if M. Night Shyamalan wrote Sailor Moon?

It would have an "epic" and really, really stupid plot twist.

What if 07th Expansion made Chargeman Ken?

Everything looks just like a dating sim\visual novel, people die and get resurrected a lot, all the racers have a different, anime-y hair and eye color (which always matches) and there's a lot of symbolism.

If Andrew Hussie wrote the fifth Doctor era in Doctor Who.

Racers? Are you sure we're talking about the same show?

Lotsa trolls and meme references.

What if Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote Smeshariki?

Bump.

It becomes an analysis on the society of animals, and how it runs.

What if Quentin Tarantino wrote Sailor Moon?

They would use guns, and the lead would be Samuel L Jackson.

If Chuck Jones did Samurai Jack.

While there is some repeated animations, not only is Samurai Jack still a beloved classic, it successfully blends Japanese Cultural Ideas with Western Humor (including just a touch of Cultural References). The art is less stylized, however, looking more like a regular Chuck Jones cartoon then something inspired by Japanese Art.

Toby Fox's Super Mario Brothers.

That would end up like a shameless Mario & Luigi homage, as far as gameplay goes. An unexpected character, like Lakitu, would turn out to be The Mole who's been framing Bowser. Mario's obsession with saving the princess would be explored a lot, a la Braid.

Neill Blomkamp's Back To The Future

edited 11th Jan '16 5:17:02 AM by Snicklin

A time travel story thick with Anvilicious with the 50's being a Crapsack World filled with KKK people. Anytime time is a Crapsack World.

Frank Miller does Pokemon.

In a Dystopian future, ruled by a vile Oligarch that has allowed radioactive material to spill everywhere, one boy captures mutants in special containment pods created by his Anarchist Grandfather, and uses them to take down these Oligarchs once and for all. It's basically Anti-Capitalist and Anti-Nuclear Power.

The Wall by The Beatles.

Has the shades of the Yellow Submarine. Is pretty cool.

Toby Fox's E.V.O.: Search for Eden.

edited 11th Jan '16 8:31:33 AM by arcada188

The music becomes 50 times more awesome and the game has a lot more humor.

If Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon made Adventure Time.

More Darker and Edgier and several Crossing the Line Twice moments.

Rockstar Games developed Harvest Moon

An open-world sandbox where you run a farm, hunt, and fight thugs trying to rob your farm.

Chargeman Ken! developed by Rebecca Sugar. Am I dead yet?
