Reimagine scenes from film, TV and books if they were to occur on the forums.

To start, Return of the King:

And this pivotal moment from Transformers: The Movie:

I don't have anything, but this is a genius idea and I look forward to seeing more. Awesome starters, OP.

Can you post a blank template or something so we can make these too?

It's really easier to edit it by editing a page than it is to photoshop on things like this.

I don't think the transformer one counts cause I bet you I can find a screenshot of the same thing on here.

This was my favorite reply in the "celebrity custom titles" thread of long ago:

Edit: Well, I guess Vlad wasn't technically a fictional character. Sorry. But it's funny anyway.

TubeSockFan: Sep 5, 2005; This blood-of-christ sure has a strong nose and a piercing finish!

Really I'm just hoping the OP continues to post more, because the first two were seriously inspired.

^^^ I wondered if anyone was going to notice that, those timestamps are right out of the appendices

Really all I did was take a screengrab of a thread, and photoshopped over the title, avatars, custom titles and text, using the screengrab as a guide for placement. I won't lie, it's a pretty time-consuming endeavor.

I'll try to post a blank PSD later. In the meantime, if it helps, all text is varying sizes and weights of Verdana, with anti-aliasing turned off.

That first one in particular was sublime.

Retinend fucked around with this message at Aug 6, 2008 around 17:33

This is brilliant, I am thinking of burning 10 bucks for the vlad avatar and title.

ANAmal.net: Mar 2, 2002; Kiss the rings, bitch

If anyone's familiar with the Firebug plugin for Firefox, it makes things like this a lot easier to do - pretty much the same as saving the thread and editing the HTML, but you can do it all in the browser without having to save the file or photoshop anything, and it's got a badass way to inspect/edit elements without grepping through miles of the HTML source.

Well, I guess it doesn't work too well for replacing images, but it can speed up the process a ton.

davidspackage: May 16, 2007; Well done, Hopkins!

The fact that the dates probably match up is incredibly nerdy. But they're funny, so whatever.

I guess this has been done before, but I was really expecting photoshops of a neckbearded Batman or something.

Copy and paste : javascript:void(document.designMode = 'on') into yo browser, I have it on favourites, you can edit all the texts and whatnots, I don't know how you instert images but you can always just do that in photoshop.

drat, if only I'd seen this earlier! I did it the old-fashioned way of editing the HTML.
Myself and Ojo have been playing through the Phoenix Wright games again recently and came up with this.
The original was cooler - the avatars were the .gifs from the games
