The songs from the original series are all present and the scenes in-between are Hamilton-style rap songs. The pacing is worse but at least the playlist is a banger.

It might go wrong if everyone is turned into a massive jerkass. It can go really wrong if the villains' misdeeds are played for laughs. Especially, you know who...

Jumanji but its an anthology series where every episode its found by different people (sometimes as a board game, another times, a video game, and others like an RPG board or an arcade cabinet), each time stealthily inducing Character Development. We also see there are other games like it, not just Zathura, but ones like a fantasy game.

It turns into a Cult Classic for its concept and its possibly better than expected execution. Either that, or it becomes review fodder for a So Okay, It's Average sort of game.

It will get analyised by acedemics for the next two centuries.


The Merchant of Venice but its a film that has an even more sympathic POV for Shylock while the other characters are given a hefty dose of Adaptational Jerkass and Adaptational Villainy by emphasising their worse traits. In particular, he has a(n even more) tragic ending where he chooses to commit suicide rather then convert to Christianity (but at least he and Jessica reconcile in his final moments).

On the flipside, the other characters get karmic retribution for their crap (like Portia's deception being found out and being forbidden to marry while Bassanio goes broke for good), and to top it off a flood built up throughout occurs (implied to be God's doing as punishment for their sins, just like The Great Flood), and while not shown outright it kills them all as "When the Levee Breaks" plays over it and the end credits showing everyone's drowned corpses and possesions floating.

(based on an idea I had, to be done for A Hippie in the House of Mouse)
