The fanbase is finally pleased. Congratulations.

A live-action remake of Toy Story.

Since the actors have to look like toys, the remake suffers heavily from the Uncanny Valley effect, which combined with the reaction of those who prefer the original ensure that the film bombs at the box office.


Avengers: Infinity War, but instead of searching for the Infinity Stones Thanos looks for the Dragon Balls.

Goku kicks Thanos's ass pretty handily but lets him go to find the Dragon Balls so he can be at his strongest. Then Whis deletes both Goku for pulling the same shit for a third time and Thanos because of course.

The Wizard of Oz, but the scenes in Oz are in black and white and shot like a silent movie while the scenes in reality are in color and with current filming techniques and equipment.

It isn't really popular towards adults and older kids, but there's fans.

A 12-episode animated adaptation of Kirby 64, produced and animated by Studio Shaft. Plus, Ribbon is voiced by Aoi Yūki and Adeleine is voiced by Eri Kitamura.

Most of the series is a very nostalgic and cute Kirby adventure. And then Zero Two shows up and everything gets all bloody and gross.

Ren specializes in interpretive dance and teaches his town to "feel their inner music." Reverend Shaw eventually gets in on it as well and they all form a tai chi group.

It's all about The Power of Rock. It somehow manages to work because the original was a Mockumentary to begin with.

Stabbings would be far more common than shootings, and your ultimate goal is to kill the drug kingpins of all 47 prefectures so you can be the last criminal standing.

Chikane wants to simply create a world that doesn’t require the reincarnation loop, and/or have Himenko love her as much as she does. Could possibly go From Bad to Worse


A Pokemon game that introduced nothing but regional variants, evolutions of old Pokemon, pre-evolutions of old pokemon, new pokemon that evolved from regional variants, new Mega Evolutions, and there are 420 numbered pokemon in the regional Pokedex.

     Examples 

  • Zangoose joins Furret and Diggersby in being an early route normal type as its new pre-evolution appears in the first few routes.

  • A variant of the Slakoth line that loses Truant but gets a horrible defensive typing in Ice/Grass to balance it out

  • An Electric variant of Bagon that evolves into two new Electric/Dragon pokemon that are an Expy of Gamera instead of Shelgon and Salamence

  • Unown gets an evolution that turns it into an Expy of Mr. Game & Watch

  • Variants of Rowlet, Charmander, and Froakie that evolve into new pokemon that are Grass/Steel, Fire/Ice, and Water/Ground respectively.

Everyone just assumes it's a canon fangame, kinda like Sonic Mania, and it's actually welcomed by both newcomers and veterans alike.

The Harry Potter movies, but wands and magic are replaced by good old hand-to-hand combat.

Harry discovers he is part of an underground society of Luddites similar to the magical world, but, naturally, with no magic. Since Voldemort cannot come back without magic, the plot is mostly about Harry and friends dealing with his remaining followers. It is much more R rated than the original.


Sonic the Hedgehog as an R rated action film with the anthropomorphic animals replaced with humans and all fantasy elements removed.

Every part of the fanbase is somehow enraged that this one exists, sinking the Sonic franchise for good.

[up] The film does horribly critically and commercially with general audiences wondering why Sonic and friends are all humans instead of the cartoon animals they are. People compare the film unfavorably to Sonic the Hedgehog (2020).

Either that or this film is merely a pitch that was immediately rejected by SEGA upon being shown for obvious reasons


Doomguy goes through Quake much more brutally while the demons fear the Ranger just as much as Doomguy. Maybe it starts with explanation for why Doomguy and the Ranger switched places

DEATH BATTLE! but it’s hosted by Scott The Woz, Ruby Rose, and Abriged! Kirito because Wiz and Boomstick are in a coma/on vacation. Kirito, Scott, and Ruby’s friends make a few appearances when the three are going over their opponents.

I wouldn’t mind a summary of this adaptation being done in the form of dialogue.

Some decry it for kicking out Boomstick and Wiz, others don't mind due to keeping the Rooster Teeth relationship, but overall a divisive adaptation.

Mushroom Kingdom Fusion but with the gameplay/mechanics/shop system/main characters/etc. of Mega Man (Classic) instead of Super Mario Bros.

from Hello Mario Engine to Megamix Engine (obscure lingo ahoy)

People have a field day with coming up with new weapons based on other franchises (Power ups from Mario, the sub weapons from Castlevania, shields from Sonic, etc.)


In an alternate timeline where we didn't get Journeys, we simply got a Pokemon Sword and Shield anime where Ash arrives in Galar to witness Darkest Day go horribly wrong. Ash travels with Gloria, Hop, and Marnie (Who started their journeys) to help with rebuilding Galar
