There was already an inspector character in the cartoons so it's not really that radical of an idea.

Snowman_McK posted:I'd call Deadly Alliance a soft reboot. It's very much 'don't worry about what happened before, this is all new' hence the massive numbers of new cast members and the deaths of two of the most recognisable characters in the opning credits. It was still specifically in continuity though.

aware of dog posted:They really missed the boat on this one, FNaF’s peak was years ago, and they got beaten to the “horror movie with murderous animatronics” by the loving Banana Splits That movie started as a five nights at Freddy's script that got rejected for sucking and then no one saw it cause it sucked. I think they'll be fine.

Hating sequels feels like a mindset totally set in the nineties to me. Weird, outdated thinking that's not backed up by any actual facts about the quality of sequels.

Maxwell Lord posted:There was this weird plague of random sequels in the late 80s/early 90s where seemingly anything that had made money got a follow-up. Mostly comedies and light fantasies, so Look Who's Talking Too, Short Circuit 2, Honey We Blew Up the Kid, Crocodile Dundee 2, even Arthur got a sequel nobody asked for. I wonder if that influenced people's opinions. (This may also have been a hangover effect from the writer's strike of '87, I'm not sure.) Is it really that random though? What I want is the per movie made numbers of how many movies in any given period were sequels. Like if they made 100 movies in 1945 and 10 of them were sequels, but they made 300 in 1985 but 100 were sequels, then there's a case to be made. But if only around 30 were sequels then there's no argument. They've always made sequels and cash ins since movies were a thing. Look at how many Andy Hardy movies they made back in the day, sixteen in less than ten years. That's some Marvel poo poo, but in the thirties. People just don't remember them anymore because why the gently caress would you, and then act like sequels being made often is a new thing.

Grendels Dad posted:I guess we will have to wait and see. If it's a reboot I would say it's likely they also want to reboot the most popular character of the franchise, and if they want to reboot the most popular character of the franchise it would make sense to cast someone with a similar chaotic energy. I bet that there is no character named Jack Sparrow in the movie. Or Jane Sparrow or Jackie Sparrow or whatever they would gender swap her name to. She may be playing the lead pirate, but I don't think that character is in the movie.

Grendels Dad posted:I guess I just don't see the point in rebooting Pirates of the Caribbean without that character, whatever their name is. And Margot Robbie is in the public consciousness as playing a character that is mischievously playful and glib. I'm just saying it's a good fit that, if they go with it, will be run into the ground hard. Because if it's not the same character you can eventually bring Depp back and cross them over.

MechanicalTomPetty posted:Did you regret your words and deeds? Kojima is a Japanese Boomer who's main cultural touchstones are eighties action movies and anime. Him being really horny is not only expected, but we should be glad "likes to make hot lady characters cause he's a horny man" seems to be the worst thing about him. He 100% needs to have someone telling him no about the horny though, and when he doesn't you get loving Quiet which is clearly trying to make a cool badass character but falls on every level from design up.

Rochallor posted:Quiet is 100% a cool badass character and it's really impressive how much characterization she gets considering she's nonverbal, and she also happens to spend the entire game in a bikini top and tights. I shouldn't have said total failure. If you install a mod to put clothes on her she's actually pretty cool yeah. But that aspect undermines everything else so much I don't care. Also that final mission with her is loving lame and undoes all of the cool poo poo by taking away her agency just to have a gross fake she's in rape peril fake out. And the lap dance and yoga poo poo.

Neo Rasa posted:Yeah I don't know what a story in an MK movie today would even be to fit into 2 hours or whatever. They won't want to just be an ultra violent tournament movie even though that would be ideal. Like just get Scott Adkins and every other good action person together make the costumes look badass and have them all fight a lot while Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa says "FINISH HIM!" and "YOUR soul, is MINE." a lot it would own. The first one is just a new version of the old movie. Then you just continue using mortal Kombat 9 as a road map for the sequels.

DC Murderverse posted:There’s one coming out next year produced by James Wan and it sounds like it’s gonna be remarkably similar to this idea. Joe Taslim is Sub-Zero, Hiroyuki Sanada is Scorpion. It’s not super high budget so it will probably end up resembling the original movie, but with no holding back on the violence or gore. Chin Han is playing Shang Tsung, which could be a very different take on that character but he’s good at playing a shitheel so he’ll be just fine. Also the games are now literally filled with 80s horror and action characters.

Gatts posted:IT MADE OVER 2 BILLION DOLLARS!!! I still think it's a boring, bad movie. I haven't liked any Cameron since Terminator 2 which is when he crawled up his own rear end and never came out, and just makes bland garbage now. Like if the stuff he made was as interesting as he thinks it is I wouldn't have an issue with it, but when I watch Avatar I see what everyone else in this forum sees when they talk about Marvel stuff: a paint by numbers movie made by a committee with the explicit intent of making as much money as possible with as little actual art behind it as possible. It's soulless.

Sir Kodiak posted:Yes, Joe Biden, famously opposed to colonization for the purposes of resource extraction. Joe Biden probably would say that native Americans are a proud culture of Noble savages and we shouldn't have killed them all but we are still inherently better and more civilized than them by the nature of our being white. Which is also what Avatar is about. They just made the natives blue so it would make more money in China.

By the white guy who was able to organize the noble savages into a fighting force, because his whiteness makes him better than them even at their own traditions which he masters in a matter of seconds because he's white, and also he's not explicitly an evil cartoon so we cheer for him against them. Jake Sully would have voted for Obama for a third term, if he could have. It's poo poo lib trash.

Sir Kodiak posted:The white guy is valuable to them because he has internal knowledge of the technology of the colonists, which he provides to the cat people in order to help them slaughter the white folks. I would be curious to hear about the various times Obama purposefully armed and aided indigenous people with the explicit goal of driving off occupying American soldiers, because I didn't happen to catch any of them in my following of American politics. Again, the white guy who gets one of their bodies and, because he is white, is better than them at every single thing they spend their whole lives training to do. He instantly masters all of their combat techniques, spiritual bonding with animals, etc. Cause he's white and he's better than them. And you know, he's pretty much doing future black face the whole movie too which is weird, and by the end is just Rachel Dolezal. I'm sorry you like the racist liberal movie, but it's still a racist liberal movie just like dances with wolves and all that other white savior nonsense Hollywood thinks is being progressive and woke.
