Reboot!

[distortedreality]

I'd like to see a live action Gargoyles remake, that show kicked ass.

I remember there were some great anime movies when I was a kid, would love to see them remade if I could remember what they were called.

Also, would love to see the Robotech universe rebooted.

 

[The Real Sandman]

I don't have any notable TV shows to mention, but I do know of a movie I would love to see rebooted/made/adapted/whateverd.

After the successes with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit, and what with the recent trend with readapting fairy tales with more grit and violence, I believe a new Wizards film would do great in today's market. Two million years after the apocalypse, the Earth has become habitable again and elves, dwarves, fairies, and other manner of Brothers Grimm caricatures live in peace in the new world. To cut to the chase, an evil wizard has created a new Third Reich and amassed an army of orcs, goblins, and robots (yes,robots) and aims to conquer the world. Our main character is his brother, a good wizard, who teams up with a fairy, an elf, and a robot who had a change of heart to stop another Holocaust from happening. But needless to say, the battle scenes alone are enough reason to bring this film to the modern age. Think of any number of battles from TLotR, then add tanks, mortars, robots, and give everyone guns. That pretty much sums up Wizards.

Reboot, Reboot. That is all.

Thought I would like to see more Batman Beyond.

This. So much this.

Someone, anyone - please reboot Reboot. It was a fantastic series with one of the most disappointingly rushed endings ever.

The one true remake/reboot I want, The Vision of Escaflowne, at full 39 episodes in length, will sadly never happen

Reboot was a pretty interesting show. The villains were creepy as hell, though I don't really remember much about the actual plot or anything...

Oh, that's not what we're talking about?

I don't know, the only nostalgia I really have for shows I grew up with is Digimon and Pokemon, and considering I fell out of interest with both of them after their second or third seasons, I don't feel like a reboot would be particularly interesting -- Especially considering that objectively speaking, the writing and pacing and everything are probably much better in the later episodes than the earlier ones that I prefer.

I didn't have cable or anything.

The few other shows, like Rugrats or all those "One Saturday Morning" shows, I can't help but feel something might get lost in the translation of bringing it up to "today's standard". Or the various Star Trek series', which are still (mostly) enjoyable to watch even today. But I don't watch much television to begin with, so I'm likely not the best person to ask.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I don't feel like they should do any particular reboot (unless it's of that godawful Enterprise BS), but I'd like to see more new Star Trek with the same themes and designs as TOS, TNG, or DS9.

I once had the idea that Pokémon might actually work as a more serious franchise. If you read some of the pokédex entries (not the least all the ghost pokémon) there's some dark and interesting stuff there that might make a good, straight-faced, darker anime series. Sure they'd need to hack a few limbs off of the central concept and perhaps name it something else, but the potential is IMO there.

I could see it working.

The entire franchise is basically centered around world-wide sanctioned cockfights engaged in by kids who drop out of a nonexistent school system to start traveling the dangerous world where monsters and beasts leap out of every crevasse to attack them and then get beaten to bloody pulps and stuffed into tiny balls, where they're then "tamed" and used in previously mentioned cockfights.

If that's not inherently dark, I don't know what is.
