I've got a good one, mates.

An R Rated Blinky Bill.

Oh wait, that was my April Fools roleplay in a nutshell.

 

[Deleted member]

Guys, I've got a great idea, hear me out on this one.

Sesame Street... BUT RATED R

Nah, the internet has thought of this... Well, ever since the conception of the internet.

I remember back in the early days of youtube I'd see recommendations with these thumbnails.

Spoiler

Classic.

 

[redfeatherraven]

I can change the color of Unit in rhe gane so redfeatherraven you want your unit to have sertain colored hair and clothing?

Ooo.

Red hair would be nice.

Clothing I leave to your discretion.

 

[Thatkidwiththeafro]

This is going to be interesting.

But I've got a sexy fish monster to run away from. One who's got an unhealthy obsession with anime. @Dr. Gaster

...This sounds interesting actually.

What's the context behind it?

Wait and see.... depends on what MUGEN's got in store!

Also.....

R-rated Thomas & Friends set in World War II anyone? No?

This talk of a Rated R Sesame Street reminds me of a project this artist, Dan Luvisi, has been working on called 'Popped Culture'

All I have to say is if you want to have a look at some of the artwork, prepare to say goodbye to your childhood....some of the artwork he's made is the stuff of nightmares...

But there's also stuff that has muppets and disney characters in more serious situations...and by serious I mean like murdering each other serious...

I've got a good one. Yooka Laylee Rated R.

Spoiler: Reasoning

Makes sense, because theres actually a joke in the game where theres a ruined ship called "Bat Ship Crazy."

To all those that have played or were exposed to Gaiden in some way outside of Echoes, what is your opinion of Alm and Celica as characters?

I'm only curious since I just want to know whether or not they are the kind of lords that are really well-written and likable (like Ike or Hector) or *arguably* badly portrayed and thus achieving a vocal hatebase despite doing well in popularity polls (like Chrom or Corrin).

If you need to spoil Gaiden's story just to give answer, I won't mind.

The original Gaiden doesn't really have much in the way of story, dialogue, or characterisation to go on, even for its main characters, being an NES game, but anyway. They almost get more characterisation in the Awakening DLC than they do in their own games.

I think Alm and Celica were set up somewhat as foils to each other. Celica is the more compassionate sort, suggesting to Alm that he should seek a peaceful end to the war by negotiating with the enemy, while Alm is the more aggressive sort - he just sees it as "they're attacking us, so we have to fight back harder". Though he does at least show some emotion later in the story, and he does give some thought to Celica's talk of a more peaceful resolution, but mostly it is his aggressiveness in contrast to Celica's compassion that shows through. Like I said, though, the game does not give a whole lot to go on about them, so outside of this it doesn't really give them much depth (imagine what it was like for the minor playable characters, then, who only get a line or two of dialogue at recruitment and that's that). So I can't really call them well-written or (un)likeable if they had little writing to begin with.

Why after all these years I have almost forgotten all about Prarie Dawn over there in that second pic.

Shame I never saw her very often after the 90's.

I don't think the world is ready to see that horror yet.

Dredd Producer Wants to Make R-Rated Mega Man Movie - https://t.co/kdD5tHL47d pic.twitter.com/s68b1ixYMC

— Screen Rant (@screenrant) April 11, 2017

This guy is also producing the Netflix Castlevania series.

I can't see Capcom agreeing to this, considering a new kids cartoon is coming soon for the series.

Still, he probably understands how unlikely this world be.

Im so hyped to see the debuting ****Man in action.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You wanted magic right? Im working to unlock a sage for you but it requires another class to be rank 4 so it might take a while

 

[ChikoLad]

I made an adaptation of that Famitsu survey for Kingdom Hearts.

The questions are the same but I added some extra answer options in some cases, and also grouped different versions of the same game (like the Final Mix versions) together. CoM and Re:CoM are separate though because they are so different due to the hardware difference so they're not fundamentally the same experience. I also didn't include KH: coded or KHx because they never were released outside of Japan, but their remakes/successors were, so those are included. KHx: Back Cover wasn't included in any way either since it's not a game, but some of it's plot points are answers in a specific question.

If you have a decent degree of history with the series, then you could have some input. Two questions are also somewhat spoiler-territory (they were on the original Famitsu survey so I kept them), so if you haven't played everything up to KH 2.8, then keep that in mind before you decide to take the survey.

The only problem with that is that people are tired of alien-like movies. Especially from the reviews I've read of Life.


To be fair though, though they could easily avoid this given that they use the variety of terrain and settings in the metroid franchise and not have the movie just be in a ship or a gloomy planet only filled with rocks and caves.

Brain Age right?


Fire Emblem, Eternal Darkness, Fatal Frame, and Metroid could work as R rated

Nah. Life was crap. The ending took it from forgettable to awful. Felt like an edgy teen came with that ending

 

[praline]

There's never been an M rated Metroid so why have an R rated Metroid movie?

I didn't say anything about Life being good. I said that people are getting tired of movies like it.

And the ending wasn't so much edgy as it was telegraphed from a mile away.

D'aww.

Note to self - if I ever do anything on Kickstarter, first adopt two cats for planned Cat Food tier.

Because rated R is so hips and sexy~!

Plus Samus Aran Boobs. I'm assuming.

You said people are tired of them. I disagree. We do have Alien Covenant coming later this which will do well. Unless its complete trash.

Because Metroid takes heavy inspiration from a hard R movie series

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I mean I'm just done with the Alien franchise at this point and even films in it's mold. Life looked like a rip-off.

Metroid movie would probably revive that particular genre of film and feel like a breath of fresh air, because I'm sorry Ridley Scott I really don't give a crap what happened before the originals and Jake G and Ryan Reynolds might be pretty as hell, but I'll pass on Life for being Wal-Mart Great Value Alien.

 

[Robertman2]

Honestly I want Blomkamp's Alien 5. Anything that makes 3 and Resurrection noncanon is good in my books.

 

[Deleted member]

Also, weird fact about Life: the reason why the movie exists is because it's technically based off a book called Gravity. Yep, which the movie Gravity seems to take from, except it excluded the alien lifeform. The lawsuits are basically what spawned this movie.

You said people are tired of them. I disagree. We do have Alien Covenant coming later this which will do well. Unless its complete trash.

Nah, space horror has been overdone for awhile now. I mean, of course they don't pop up nearly as often as a genre such a superhero movies, but the difference is that there's rarely a good isolated space movie.

And my bets are that Alien Covenant is going to be mixed at best like Life is right now, there hasn't been all that much from the trailers to make me think otherwise.

Yeah...Dan loves his cats...

There's never been an M rated Metroid so why have an R rated Metroid movie?

The reason I say this is because Metroid thrives off of a more mature setting....at times it is borderline a survival horror and given what some of the antagonizing alien creatures (Space Pirates, Metroids, Ridley, etc) are capable of you easily can imagine some more graphic scenes happening in a movie...

The franchise was heavily based off of the Alien movies afterall...

The only problem with that is that people are tired of alien-like movies. Especially from the reviews I've read of Life.


To be fair though, though they could easily avoid this given that they use the variety of terrain and settings in the metroid franchise and not have the movie just be in a ship or a gloomy planet only filled with rocks and caves.

As much as it takes it's influence from Alien, Metroid isn't just some random sci0fi horror...there's a lot that goes into Metroid that makes it stand out such as the environments as you mentioned....

I can imagine a Metroid movie sort of being a cross between Alien and Avatar in a way...perhaps with a sprinkle of Star Wars...

After Prometheus I wouldn't be surprised if it got mixed reviews.
And I bet Sony wishes Life really was a Venom prequel

I know that, if they actually use stuff from the games it wouldn't be hard to make AT LEAST an entertaining movie.

The thing is though, knowing hollywood, it'd likely be a bland alien knock off where Samus is in her Zero Suit for most of the movie trying to survive in a space ship, and then in the last 30-10 minutes she gets her suit...

I still don't even know how people came to that conclusion, the creature was NOTHING like a symbiote.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

That would have been too smart and ingenious for them.

Plus I really really really dislike Sony anyway with their need for spin-offs of Spider-Man.

They REALLY should just let Marvel do everything and collect the money.

That's why you get someone to make the movie that actually knows a thing or two about the games...

Executives never really have that idea when it comes to video games though, for whatever reason.

Hopefully that'll change.

I don't either, but I think it was because the Venom movie was announced a few days before it came out

Assassin's Creed was pretty faithful to the games. Still sucked though

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I think the fact that Resident Evil made major bucks as a film franchise but had like only 20 percent in common with it's game franchise doesn't deter Hollywod execs from just going ''Well, can we just do this but still slap the recognizable name on it?"

As was Ratchet and Clank, and that also sucked.

Also pretty bad movies.

Hmmm... Perhaps the best thing to do is to find someone who knows the source material well, but also has the talent to adapt into a good movie. Actually, even if it does have changes big or small.

People often confuse that, the point of adaptations isn't to exactly replicate the original. It's to take the original and put your own spin on it.

 

[Robertman2]

Halo would make a fun blockbuster.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'm always leery of first person shooters and fighting games becoming movies more than any genre. Simply because those are often the franchises where yes there are stories and even in the cases of Halo some solid ones. The story is second to the over the top nature of the gameplay.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Wait.

Life was related to the Alien movies?
