It receives hate across the board for including such a nonsensical twist that flies in the face of the franchise's established lore.

It's bad because it has a lot of unlikeable characters (including the protagonist) as stand-ins for players and it's overreliant on the "jumpscare" that you get when Baldi catches you.

It's hated by fans of the original for being In Name Only.


A Friday Night Funkin' Soft Web Animation series that initially follows the events Weeks 1-6 before going in it's own direction, focusing on the dark underbelly of the city the characters live in. Oh, and Father Fairest keeps getting worse in each episode he appears in.

The Art-Style Dissonance and Darker and Edgier take on the game would attract a sizable audience.


Bug Fables, except Leif really was on shrooms the whole time, facing plenty of Surreal Humor and Surreal Horror along his drug-trip adventure.

Despite what the dramatic Puni Plush-meets-cosmic horror art style wants you to believe, it still keeps HTF's brand of violence and humor.

On the other hand however, it's basically an adventure about an Eldritch Location with HTF's cutesy-looking art style would be filled with lots of much more unpleasant Gorn.

Its 2D animated, and the series airs on Disney Afternoon and on Disney Channel. Generally well recieved.

It becomes an instant Memetic Mutation. Also, some of the rap videos distract from the gameplay. It could become even more of a meme if if the type if rhythm game is an idol gacha game.

I don't quite know what Forsaken is about, but an In Name Only adaptation wouldn't fare too well.


The Thing (1982), but the cast are instead Toons (similar to those from Dandy's World) and the setting is an instead an island in Canadian territory of Nunavut. While there is no profanity and the characters of non-red blood, the titular Thing is still played dead straight. Oh, and better yet, it somehow gets a PG rating.

I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...

Toon fans like it, if feel its too lightweight.

If people consider the original an American equivalent of Gundam, this will be the American equivalent of SD Gundam.

How The Six Made Their Way In The World with the servants gender-flipped into the protagonist's Battle Harem. The kicker? It'll be a Disney movie.

Too esoteric?

If Disney weren’t a bunch of shitty little cowards who don’t put gay representation in their movies because they want to sell shit in China, they’d make them all lesbians. They’d probably cancel it and send it to another studio, like Blue Sky did with NIMONA, and it’s going to turn out a bajillion times better. I hope Bob Iger gets a commemorative Figment popcorn bucket shoved up his bunghole.

The film features a ton of references to the early day of the franchise, and the Transformers are designed to closely resemble their G1 counterparts. Stan Bush's "The Touch" also plays during the film’s climax.

Given that Chugga has some degree of awareness of TV Tropes, he takes the ridiculousness of the thread in stride and ends up taking a leader role. Conversely, Jon and Tim are at a loss of words with most of the activities. I'm not sure how far they'd make it to be honest...
