What do you get when you put Samurai Jack, the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter, the Imaginary Friends, Billy and Mandy, and Courage the Cowardly Dog in the same elimination camp? Chaos. And Chris Mc Clean gets violently murdered by Mojo Jojo at one point, but he asked for it.

Your heroes go around attacking various enemies sent by the various Disney Villains, who are set to rule the world. There's some rather deep storytelling and lore.

Project Moon's penchant for dark and dystopian settings meshes surprisingly well with Forgotten Land's premise, and ends up getting good reception.

The book's premise doesn't mesh very well with the live action medium, and the CGI designs for the character fall deep into the Uncanny Valley.

The Fairly OddParents!, but it's a Darker and Edgier horror comedy inspired by Irish folklore.

Timmy is praised for being less stupid and jerkish at times and the Comedic Sociopathy by Wanda and Cosmo (who are given lots of Adaptational Villainy) earns lots of praise.


Thor 5, but it's directed by horror film director Darren Lynn Bousman with a Darker and Edgier tone and horror elements (and really pushes the limits of the PG-13 rating), featuring Shawn Ashmore as the Big Bad Mephisto in his MCU debut, along with Jared Padalecki, Samara Weaving and Joey King in supporting roles.note

The pigs are straight-up nightmarish boar demons who attack a chain of chicken farms, stealing eggs, killing and eating both livestock and people. The farmers are forced to genetically mutate themselves into Bird People, and build gigantic catapults to throw themselves at the pigs hard enough to pierce their skin with their weapons. Blood and gore ensues.

Best-case scenario is that he's given enough creative freedom to deliver a faithful adaptation. Worst case scenario is that History Repeats with The Last Airbender and Executive Meddling from Paramount tarnishes everything.

Sony Pictures' knack for off-beat physical comedy meshes surprisingly well with the tone of Crash Bandicoot. The movie revives Crash Bandicoot into the mainstream.

There's more blood, there's a violent cult that worships Garmadon, and there's a general lack of any hope for the heroes. Fans are split down the middle.

Even through it's lighter than George's usual works, it's still one of the darkest takes on the Zelda story — far darker than even Twilight Princess. The fanbase is split down the middle, no thanks to the fact that Link here is not only an violent Anti-Hero, but he also dies in the end no matter what.

It adapts Kiryu's Real Estate Royale from Yakuza 0 into a Monopoly clone. However, when there is a building dispute, the play turns into a DnD-style encounter, with dice rolls and HP. Whoever is the last one standing wins.

A Sign of Affection as a slasher.
