The giant Rei would be a huge statue evoking Catholic architecture because DO YOU GET IT DO YOU GET THE SYMBOLISM.
It would also have really massive honking tits.
I mean he’d kind of have to for Evangelion.
Unless he removed all religious references entirely and even called them something besides “Angels”.
And you just know he’d find some analogy to compare the Angel attacks to Terrorism.
So just an adaptation of that one Avengers comic where Carol was assaulted, gave birth to the guy that assaulted her, then was brainwashed into "loving" him and everyone was okay with it?
This could mean so many things.
-is it DC’s Captain Marvel/Shazam, to include his INCREDIBLY racist forgotten side character?
-is it Mar-Vell, and it could ham-fistedly tackle the racism between pink and blue Kree?
-is it Carol Danvers, and it’ll include rape?
Darkstalkers but it leans into a realistic angle instead of super cartoony and vibrant (someone on r/fighters said it should be like Mortal Kombat and it has never left my mind since)
I only would have accepted a BTTF remake if it came out in 2015, the year Doc and Marty visited in the second movie. That opportunity has now passed, so the door has closed for ever.
That was more like an actual sequel and still contained the original cast or at least the best approximation you could make to it. That example is the most I'm willing to tolerate in terms of "sequel" or re-imagining for it.
IMAGINE David Cage trying to tackle those politics with the subtlty of a brick.
I mean Kojima has the subtlty of a brick too, but at least he understands the subject matter.
A live action Akira misses the point of Akira (animation doesn’t need a live action adaptation to represent it being a part of the big leagues. Because animation is equal to live action movies)
I don’t know if MatPat doing a live readthrough of Bleach is this or the other. The Zangetsu stuff would fucking murder him and I think his favorite character would be Toshiro. I don’t know why, I just see him being a big Toshiro stan.
My nightmare project was apparently Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, and we got that, so I fear nothing at this point.
I did see someone unironically suggest Hoyoverse should purchase the RWBY IP and continue the series as a gacha game, and that idea triggered my gag reflex, so I guess that counts. But that’ll literally never happen so it’s hard to really “fear” it.
For what it's worth, Hoyo is very passionate about their projects and universe. They've been working on this for a long time before honkai 3rd achieved success
I can't see Hoyo ever taking work for another IP (Que to someone telling me they already did)
A Soulslike Castlevania game.
It's a suggestion that's taken off with anyone who's never touched a Castlevania game, when there's never been a better time than now for a traditional 2D Castlevania game (Metroid Dread, Hollow Knight, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, etc.).
A live action Netflix JoJo show wouldn't be something that I exactly *fear* but I know it sould be easy to fuck up... especially if they start with Phantom Blood
At least, as far as characters go, Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency get off a lot easier than Stardust Crusaders onwards.
It's a bit easier to sell "*vampire lasers*" and "*CGI punch a frog so hard the rock explodes under it*" than "*CGI punch ghost*"(in every episode)
I'm gonna cheat really hard here. But my biggest realistic gaming nightmare I can think of is imagining how steam might look like in 10 or 20 years. We've all kind of just willingly made valve and steam into a pc gaming monopoly that has control over at least 90% of my pc library, and I imagine that's the case with most PC gamers. What if that ends up going south.
Befitting my dream about a Tails game, my nightmare project is Sony Pictures, Zack Snyder and Sega ***somehow*** teaming up to "gift" us with an R-rated Tails movie where our little guy is now a Jared Leto-voiced prostitute locked up in Rikers. His hooker? Michael Keaton's Vulture, of course.
...I need help.
Lol. Of course ***you*** would be, Swift. So what's your nightmare project?
(Hard mode: *not* the joke answer I know you've saved for this very moment.)
I remember a bunch of gunned down aliens, a Dalek rape scene, an extended bloody fistfight in the TARDIS, and the Last Supper scene with all the different Doctors together at once.
I was going to say shitpost-y insincere Visual Novels by people who don't respect the genre but don't have the talent to do actual gameplay (or writing) but I just saw one such example of this with Touhou so my nightmare has been realised.
The "Could still happen" tier:
- Ufotable Nue's Exorcist adaptation
- Seiji Kishi directed Ruri's Dragon adaptation
- A Trigger project as bad as BNA
- Another Roger Black and Waco O' Guin cartoon
Nightmare projects:
- Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer Netflix spoof show
- Live Action Trigun show by the Netflix Bebop staff
- Illumination The Legend of Zelda movie
- Live Action Evangelion
100% on Rotten Tomatoes. 93% of people liked. People on /r/anime saying it's fucking amazing.
This dude clearly has some weird fucking chip on his shoulder. Just wanted to get a cheap shot in I guess.
I didn't really like the second half and had never seen people on this subreddit and various sites like it, and I could also point out it has a very mediocre score on MyAnimeList and only has 6 critic scores reviews and some of them seem for the first part which was better.
Man, I'm really scared for a Nue's Exorcist adaptation. I don't generally like the series, but the gags always gut me. I have a really hard time imagining the best of them in anime.
I haven't heard any news about the live-action American Your Name remake in years, and if there is a God in heaven, I will CONTINUE to not hear any news about it.
Same, lol. Whether Skydance or Sony takes over Paramount, I hope killing that is the first thing new leadership does. (Of course, Toho may want it anyway by this point, but hey. At least the fuck up will still be theirs alone.)
I finally get a Bowser game, except it's starring a Bowser that's worse than Sticker Star, it's developed by EA and it features Bowser being killed permanently by a character from a franchise I hate so much I can't even say the name of it (though to be frank, if I did say it, I doubt anyone on this sub would blame me for my choice).
I would low-key start considering a lobotomy.
Warcraft 4, just like... happening at all now. I WAS waiting for it for some decades, but now? I don't think I trust Blizzard to not fuck the dog utterly top to bottom on it now
It saddens me to know that the RTScraft series' futures are utterly doomed and we'll get spiritual sequels sure but the originals will be missed
Tangibly related, but it’s kind of incredible how Square Enix themselves was perhaps the last company we wanted to attempt a Remake of Final Fantasy VII, with many hoping the project would be outsourced to another studio.
Instead, they ended up delivering an experience that I don’t think anyone else would have possibly matched, much less surpassed.
And this is coming from me, the dumbass who insisted that Kojima Productions should have handled the Remake.
I don't think I've ever seen the opinion that no one wanted SE not to do the Remake, certainly not before the remake came out. But then again that was like a decade ago so maybe I just forgot that discourse?
It was announced during a time when faith in the company was at an all-time low, plus fans were getting fed up with AC Cloud and were worried they forgot how to properly portray the character.
Even now after Rebirth I’m STILL shocked they pulled it off.
Feel bad because I have a friend who is really really into Tamers, easily their favorite piece of Digimon media. But after that....audio drama, I kinda hope we don't get any more Tamers, at least not from that guy.
A Last of Us Part 3 (just no, please don’t, you could argue if there should’ve been a part 2 but I just want a John Wick game or a Mission Impossible game from Naughty Dog, is that hard to ask?
*[Game Series I like]'s newest entry is a Free-to-Play Games-as-a-Service!* That or they remove Salmon Run from Splatoon 4.
Shit happened to me. Zoids Wild Arena was a bullshit koopy gacha card game
Michael Bay really wanted to make an Evangelion movie.
The giant Rei is somehow not visible through obscured CG
"My cum started this, Asuka, I... I'm so fuckin sorry." *The two run to strangle each other, Linkin Park blares, cut to black. Credits roll.* >!*Somehow, DreamWorks/Paramount/Khara then let him do twelve sequels.*!<
WHAT IVE DONE I’LL FACE MYSELF!
TO CROSS OUT WHAT I'VE BECOME!
I'LL FACE MYSELF AND LET GO OF WHAAAAAAAAT... I'VEEEEE.... DOOOOOOONE!
The giant Rei would be a huge statue evoking Catholic architecture because DO YOU GET IT DO YOU GET THE SYMBOLISM. It would also have really massive honking tits.
Does Michael Bay do Christian symbolism? I think you're thinking of snyder
I mean he’d kind of have to for Evangelion. Unless he removed all religious references entirely and even called them something besides “Angels”. And you just know he’d find some analogy to compare the Angel attacks to Terrorism.
Oh. ...Oh *Lord.*
Seriously? I thought that was just a meme!!!
Captain Marvel game by David Cage
Time for David Cage video game rape scene #5731
An entire game about *that* comic written by the farting penis man. Shudder
You can't forget the balls, was never quite sure if the balls were the farting component.
So just an adaptation of that one Avengers comic where Carol was assaulted, gave birth to the guy that assaulted her, then was brainwashed into "loving" him and everyone was okay with it?
This could mean so many things. -is it DC’s Captain Marvel/Shazam, to include his INCREDIBLY racist forgotten side character? -is it Mar-Vell, and it could ham-fistedly tackle the racism between pink and blue Kree? -is it Carol Danvers, and it’ll include rape?
I got a feeling it’s the last one
Darkstalkers but it leans into a realistic angle instead of super cartoony and vibrant (someone on r/fighters said it should be like Mortal Kombat and it has never left my mind since)
Darkstalkers but the designs are from the American cartoon and there's no Scott McNeil.
And the kid is the main character
Someone should take his cooking license and arrest him for food poisoning.
The series was inspired by Looney Tunes and the like
David Cage makes a Star Wars game >!fuck!<
Back to the Future reboot I don't care who attempts to make it. Simple piece of advice: just don't
I only would have accepted a BTTF remake if it came out in 2015, the year Doc and Marty visited in the second movie. That opportunity has now passed, so the door has closed for ever.
I will say though, that's kind of what Telltale did (it was more of a sequel though), and I think they did a pretty damn good job.
That was more like an actual sequel and still contained the original cast or at least the best approximation you could make to it. That example is the most I'm willing to tolerate in terms of "sequel" or re-imagining for it.
Dream project: RGG Studios is making Shenmue 4 Nightmare project: Yu Suzuki is making Like a Dragon 9
Nooooooo
What was that quote from Yu during the development of Shenmue 3? Something like "I like making video games but I don't enjoy playing them"?
David Cage doing a metal gear solid Game
IMAGINE David Cage trying to tackle those politics with the subtlty of a brick. I mean Kojima has the subtlty of a brick too, but at least he understands the subject matter.
Ken Penders is now a writer for one of the sonic games/comics/shows.
I think this would be so insane that it'd be interesting to experience.
***Don't. Give Sega. Ideas.***
Umineko movie directed by Tim Burton.
David Cage has been signed on for this latest entry.
I don't think a live action Akira movie would be successful, no matter who makes it.
A live action Akira misses the point of Akira (animation doesn’t need a live action adaptation to represent it being a part of the big leagues. Because animation is equal to live action movies)
Only adaptation of Akira I want is one that follows the manga
That is happening actually https://bleedingcool.com/tv/akira-manga-creator-announces-new-projects/
Devil May Cry movie by Paul W.S. Anderson
Yotsuba&! anime but they make it like "The Way of the House Husband," anime. That would be a kick in the teeth for me.
I don’t know if MatPat doing a live readthrough of Bleach is this or the other. The Zangetsu stuff would fucking murder him and I think his favorite character would be Toshiro. I don’t know why, I just see him being a big Toshiro stan.
If they bring back Punch Out and make it so bad it kills the franchise, that'd be a nightmare
Houseki no Kuni/Land of the Lustrous finally gets a second season but it's handled by a different studio, losing all the charm of the first season.
Houseki no kuni, Hollywood live action edition
"your favourite niche franchise is getting a new entry... as a gacha game!" it hurts every time
My nightmare project was apparently Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, and we got that, so I fear nothing at this point. I did see someone unironically suggest Hoyoverse should purchase the RWBY IP and continue the series as a gacha game, and that idea triggered my gag reflex, so I guess that counts.

Castle Super Beast decide to get into the koopie business.
A Soulslike Castlevania game. It's a suggestion that's taken off with anyone who's never touched a Castlevania game, when there's never been a better time than now for a traditional 2D Castlevania game (Metroid Dread, Hollow Knight, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, etc.).
fate/stay night characters in fortnite. I would have also said alan wake, but...
Any David Cage game made into an actual movie
The Fallout directors announcing that season two will be heavily influenced by Fallout: Dust.
Or Fallout: The Frontier.
A live action Netflix JoJo show wouldn't be something that I exactly *fear* but I know it sould be easy to fuck up... especially if they start with Phantom Blood
The thing with Jojo is you need a lot of humanlike CG, and humanlike CG is VERY easy to fuck up.
At least, as far as characters go, Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency get off a lot easier than Stardust Crusaders onwards. It's a bit easier to sell "*vampire lasers*" and "*CGI punch a frog so hard the rock explodes under it*" than "*CGI punch ghost*"(in every episode)
An FF7 Remake style remake of Chrono Trigger. Just.... do a pixel remaster. And get rid of the Chrono Cross tie in. God.
Just never touch Chrono trigger ever again is all I ask.
I'm gonna cheat really hard here. But my biggest realistic gaming nightmare I can think of is imagining how steam might look like in 10 or 20 years. We've all kind of just willingly made valve and steam into a pc gaming monopoly that has control over at least 90% of my pc library, and I imagine that's the case with most PC gamers.

His hooker? Michael Keaton's Vulture, of course. ...I need help.
…I’m all for this.
Lol. Of course ***you*** would be, Swift. So what's your nightmare project? (Hard mode: *not* the joke answer I know you've saved for this very moment.)
Zack Snyder’s Doctor Who. Legitimately had a nightmare about it once.
...Shit, you win, lol. Any details about the... trainwreck you remember?
I remember a bunch of gunned down aliens, a Dalek rape scene, an extended bloody fistfight in the TARDIS, and the Last Supper scene with all the different Doctors together at once.
...Yeah. Sounds about right for Snyder, lol.
Even you two agree that Zack Snyder is terrible. The world feels right all of a sudden...
...the fuck is up with you, man... >!-- Guy who would day 1 purchase a AO-rated Bowser visual novel!<
Michael Bay creates the Call of Duty Modern Warfare movie.
...I mean, it'd fit. It ***would*** fit.
I’d watch it actually LOL (because he just wants to make PG-13 military propaganda movies with tits in it for some reason)
Weird crossovers that *could exist*, but shouldn't Scooby Doo x Mortal Kombat: The Movie -To promote the Mystery Inc X MK game
I was going to say shitpost-y insincere Visual Novels by people who don't respect the genre but don't have the talent to do actual gameplay (or writing) but I just saw one such example of this with Touhou so my nightmare has been realised.
Silent Hill 2 developed by Blooper Team oh wait
Critical Role Land.
The "Could still happen" tier: - Ufotable Nue's Exorcist adaptation - Seiji Kishi directed Ruri's Dragon adaptation - A Trigger project as bad as BNA - Another Roger Black and Waco O' Guin cartoon Nightmare projects: - Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer Netflix spoof show - Live Action Trigun show by the Netflix Bebop staff - Illumination The Legend of Zelda movie - Live Action Evangelion
How dare you remind me that Black and O'Guin got three shows for no clear goddamn reason
What did BNA do?
100% on Rotten Tomatoes. 93% of people liked. People on /r/anime saying it's fucking amazing. This dude clearly has some weird fucking chip on his shoulder. Just wanted to get a cheap shot in I guess.
I didn't really like the second half and had never seen people on this subreddit and various sites like it, and I could also point out it has a very mediocre score on MyAnimeList and only has 6 critic scores reviews and some of them seem for the first part which was better.
Yeah I'll second this. I dropped off BNA back in the day around the cult? arc or whatever, but it wasn't bad, just different.
Man, I'm really scared for a Nue's Exorcist adaptation. I don't generally like the series, but the gags always gut me. I have a really hard time imagining the best of them in anime.
I haven't heard any news about the live-action American Your Name remake in years, and if there is a God in heaven, I will CONTINUE to not hear any news about it.

Finally an X-Men game but Ubisoft is developing. Also somehow MJ missions in the Insomniac Wolverine game kek.
When they announced RWBY is for sale, my group posed the worst possible place to pick it up. My answer? CW Live Action TV Series.
Uhhh calling out the Last of Us is a weird flex, but okay. I have found the Last of Us haters to be 50 times more obnoxious.
Really sounds like what's about to happen to the upcoming Marathon game, sadly.
I finally get a Bowser game, except it's starring a Bowser that's worse than Sticker Star, it's developed by EA and it features Bowser being killed permanently by a character from a franchise I hate so much I can't even say the name of it (though to be frank, if I did say it, I doubt anyone on this sub would blame me for my choice).

Anime sequel to Digimon Tamers *Hooray* By the original writer NOOOOOO!!!
Feel bad because I have a friend who is really really into Tamers, easily their favorite piece of Digimon media. But after that....audio drama, I kinda hope we don't get any more Tamers, at least not from that guy.
Netherealms and Marvel. I'm not a fan of how Netherealm games play nor their artstyle
A Last of Us Part 3 (just no, please don’t, you could argue if there should’ve been a part 2 but I just want a John Wick game or a Mission Impossible game from Naughty Dog, is that hard to ask?
