New Pac-Man TV Series Could Tackle Racism

[Fbuh]

This gets filed under "wait, what?"

Yeah, hopefully permanently filed.

Although, could it actually be worse than this...

I'm sure that there's a ton of innuendo there. How about the ghosts coming out of the closet?

 

[thiosk]

Colored ghosts are all hooligans who try to mob you in alleys for your dots.

 

[zHellas]

What?...........................Really?......................Are you kidding me? Can Pac-man really tackle social issues, I' m mean what happens if he eats a power pellet? Does he go into a long exposition about the the equality of all individuals or somthing?

C'mon... It might be awesome, or So-Bad-It's-Good.

Like: Pac-Man and Gay Marriage!

I do see some potential in the idea. I just have a feeling that more likely than not, it's gonna be written pretty ham handedly.

 

[The Grim Ace]

Yeah, he's racist towards ghosts until he learns of their plight and their struggle. If this actually does materialize and they do an episode on racism I can guarantee my mind will thoroughly be blown.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

This is the most idiotic idea I've heard this month. How the hell is a Pac-Man TV series supposed to work? The game doesn't normally have a plot! There's nothing to elaborate on! It's like spinning a story out of Pong. This is going to fail.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Oh great... a re-imagining...

 

[edgeofblade]

So, long story short, they are replacing Inky with a black ghost, Blinky with a Chinese ghost, Pinky with a gay ghost, and Clyde with someone from Texas?

 

[V8 Ninja]

Shouldn't this be filed under the "What the f---?! 0_o" category more than the "Wait, what?" category?

 

[zehydra]

Uh... this is...


not good. Lol.

Although since an already horrible tv show adaptation was made before, this can't get too much worse.

There's an upside to this. A lot of people lately have been going into movies, planning on making it a cheesy, so-bad-it's-good cheese fest that has to be seen to be believed. Snakes on a Plane is a great example. However, a mixture basic competence tricking the filmmaker into useing sensible approaches, and the sense that the cheese is forced to produce the so bad its good effect, undermines most of these films and shows, leaving them...not necessarily bad, but far flatter then expected. With this man, judging from the interview, we finally have a creator who is genuinely batshit insane, with absolutely zero grounding in reality. It could rekindle that exhilarating sense that not only is this train wreck a glorious abortion of taste, but the creator seems to believe that he honestly said something of great artistic value. Delusion of this scale is so entertaining, it probably deserves a noble prize of some variety.

Dear God people are fuckin stupid. How the fuck did we as a species last this long is beyond me.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

PAC IS YELLOW OMG MAJOR ASIAN INFLUENCE DETECTED. ASIAN PAC MAN WILL OBLITERATE PLANET EARTH.

 

[warmonkey]

Sometimes, some people DO need to be slapped in the face and called stupid.

This is one of those times.

It's not cruel, it's not mean. It's for his own good.

 

[dochmbi]

Hahaha wow that was a funny joke.

 

[UltimatheChosen]

Is it April Fools again already?

 

[Carlston]

Racism? Why the pac have to be yellow? Huh? Damn da ghost man!

 

[Proverbial Jon]

I think that says it all...

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

He's reading too much into it trying to come up with a workable plot for some corporate schlock he was assigned to. And I hate the phrase "reading too much into it."
