What would be the most absurd 'gritty reboot' imaginable?

[lovest harding]

Undeniably horrifying, a world made of robots.

It's called American McGee's Scrapland.

Spoiler

 

[Mercsenary]

Mega Man

 

[Azaraxzealot]

My Little Pony...
actually, that could be awesome if they just gave them gorier powers

 

[TrevorGruen]

what if they made a zelda game where instead of collecting bows and swords and bombs you were collecting shotguns, weed, and tactical nukes?

 

[William Dickbringer]

A Max Payne/Sin City style reboot of Mario or Pokemon with intense violence, guns, sexual references, and drugs.

hmmm ever hear of there will be brawl it's kinda what you're looking for

The smurfs

Seriously imagine that

Already been done for Ya: http://img.moonbuggy.org/smurfs-hardcore/

How about My life as a teenage robot?

That picture is so hot.......what can't a man be sexually attracted to cartoon robots?

 

[knight steel]

Dora the Explorer?

Oh you don't say........

 

[iamthelizardqueen88]

Pokemon

You're already capturing wild animals and forcing them to fight eachother, the change to gritty hyperviolence would only be a stylistic one.

Haha you should youtube "Pokemon: Apocalypse live action trailer" its a fan made gritty Pokemon trailer

OT: I was gonna say "The Wizard of Oz" but on second thought that could actually be good so my vote is for "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White and the seven dwarfs"

 

[FoxyStig]

Dora the Explorer?

Oh you don't say........

this is my face

 

[FollowUp]

Rayman.

 

[Krythe]

Pokemon

Trust me, /b/ talks about this idea a lot.

 

[Ham_authority95]

I would pay big bucks to see a Snow White and the seven dwarves reboot where Snow White is addicted to cocaine and the seven dwarves are all involved in a gang war in east LA.

Big bucks

 

[knight steel]

Dora the Explorer?

Oh you don't say........

this is my face

Wizard of Oz,
instead of capturing Dorothy the Wicked Witch would put her in a pit and send lotion down in a basket "Silence of the Lambs" style.
"It puts the lotion on its skin and its little dog too"

Cooking Mama.
The "Mama" is on the loose. People are afraid to leave the house. Another body turned up on Friday, burned and half eaten.
You are Frank McGravel, a heroin addicted dirty cop. When your wife goes missing, you fear "The mama" has taken her. How far would you go to save someone you love?

This was pretty awesomely done in "Doomsday Arcade"

 

[sylekage]

Power Rangers. The original Power Rangers. With real death, and every once in a while a power ranger is replaced because one heroically fell in battle. I would love it and hate it at the same time

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Katamari Damachi. Just think how much blood there would be from the constant crushing.

 

[Nazulu]

A spoon full of sugar makes the MURDER GO DOWN.

Have to agree with this and the new Wizard of Oz movie as well. These movies are unforgettable classics because of the charm and memorable scenes & songs, what the hell will a gritty version achieve? Most likely it's going to be silly with no clever input at all, just a whole lot of CGI and probably violence or something. I bet it will just turn out like Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland, well maybe not that bad but still average at best.

Nice clip by the way, had chills running down my spine.
