Considered by many to be one of the greatest JRPG franchises of all time.

One of the planeteers has daddy issues, there's plenty of Lens Flare and the plot is a big mystery box. Otherwise, he's a good fit.

Horray, the next Power Rangers season is happening! What's it gonna be? An adaptation of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger. In 2025.

Its a suprisingly good series.


Danny Phantom but its a live action teen drama created by The Wachowskis about Valerie and Master's Blasters instead of Danny as the focus.

I'd watch it.


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ('09) except the airport massacre level is the only level in the game and lasts 10 hours, oh and there isn't any multiplayer, so It is quite literally the only content in the game

Well, that game gets critically slammed by critics and players alike, and nobody buys it.

The Dukes of Hazzard, as directed by John Woo.

Its a pretty good balls to the wall action flick a la Face/Off or Broken Arrow (1996), and for better or worse removes the neo-confederate crap.


A retelling of the Book of Exodus... made by Hollywood Atheists, who present the Abrahamic god as being just as fake as the Egyptian gods, and outright saying Moses made YHWH up to motivate the hebrews.

There's a lot of Totally Radical slang, the Book of Revelations is rewritten to be about Y2k, and there are thinly veiled jabs at video games and pop stars.

Critics hate it and some of the effects are pretty bad but it finds an audience with families.

Most of them are anti-greed and violence, and while there isn't much in the way of killing, its still pretty good.

If it's a video game, note the Irony of a Kaiju building things instead of just destroying them. If it's physical sets, the designers are gonna have a field day.

Friends, but they've cast a bunch of WWE superstars in the main cast roles- for instance, Monica and Ross are now played by Nia Jax and Roman Reigns themselves. (Side note: I don't actually think this is a bad idea, but let's roll with it)

It incoprates more physical pratfalls into it.


Pokémon the Series but its an American-made early 2000s series created by Steve Marmel with the usual suspects for voice actors (Tara Strong, Jeff Bennett, Tom Kenny, Grey Griffin, Patrick Warburton, Frank Welker).

The show becomes an episodic slapstick comedy with only the Twerps and Team Rocket as the primary characters.

There Will Be Blood, focusing mostly on the day to day operations of the oil derrick.

A dry documentary focused on the operations of Derrick Oil, with the plotline of Daniel Plainview's machinations to buy the land being reduced to a sub-plot. There is much more time spent with the everyday workers of the area, and shot on ancient film with occasional title cards. The drilling accident that destroys a plant and deafens H.W. Plainview is the climax of the film. Audiences are bewildered, but it's praised by some critics as a historical document of a forgotten time and place. It inspires similar mockumentary-type films as DVD extras.


Poor Things, as a video game.

It will be a Point-and-Click Adventure game in vein of classic Sierra and LucasArts games. Expect a many mind screw.

It's toned down more to PG ratings, with a plot more like Hotel Dusk. Where you play as Tony investigating his problematic duties with his life and his family.

The entire Metal Virus Saga.. as a epic musical. (Let's do this again..)

The plot of this special has Charlie and the Peanuts gang play D&D. They can't make heads or tails of it, and their campaign goes Off the Rails pretty quickly (we also see them as their characters, not just at a table). Snoopy, of course, outplays them all.

Considering Seth Macfarlene's love for musicals, its a very funny spoof.


Scooby-Doo but its a live action spoof of paranormal investigation reality shows, and Scooby is given a Adaptation Personality Change to being the snarky Only Sane Man (dog?) of Mystery Inc., while the humans are all some degree either insane or shallow idots.

Similar to the live-action movies but in a different direction that hopefully won't be a bastardization of the original 1960s hit compared to Velma.
