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

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

pocoyo, there even try imagining it.

A virus has killed off the entire human race, just before extinction scientists created a being capable of surviving and tending to the earth after everyone died, his name...POCOYO! *explosion* pocoyo must look after the animals in the world, alone apart from his imaginary freind Stephen.

This summer...hooray for pocoyo.

OT: teletubbies, a tragic tale in which 4 civillians roam a happy, drug induced world of sunshine and flowers to escape from the authoritarian state that they are currently stoned in.

Those speakers don't seem so innocent now do they? Time for tubbie bye bye, curfew is in effect.

The worst possible gritty reboot is already happening.

Devil May Cry.

Then again, Kingdom Hearts would be pretty ridiculous too.

Oh, oh no, Kingdom Heart, it'd be to much. I'm laughing just thinking about that. then again, apparently the keyblades were originally chainsaws, so hell, anythings possible.

Hmm, I'd go for Toy Story. Ridiculousness in all it's glory.

Banjo-Kazooie. Imagine... Humba's selling herself, not just parts and blueprints, Bottles is a paranoid, chain-smoking information broker, Mr. Fit is a muscle-bound mercenary, Jolly Roger and Captain Blubber are grizzled, unscrupulous smugglers and ruthless pirates, Klungo is still an incompetent minion, only an utter bastard to boot, LOG is a vengeful, cruel, omnipotent evil overlord, and Pikelet is a heavily corrupt chief of- oh wait...
Not to mention Banjo being the reluctant, world-weary hero, and Kazooie a chain-smoking man-trap ravaged by years of nicotine and drug abuse.

Citizen Kane

imagine that!

Maybe a CSI style version of Mario. Lots of brown included, obviously.

Did you not see that series on the escapist a while back, "There Will Be Brawl" I think it was? Thats pretty much exactly what you said, but it was still awesome.

I saw it, and loved it, but I guess what I mean is less dark/death stuff and more Horatio at the beginning of Miami stuff.

 

[spider-dork]

Alvin and the Chipmunks where instead of singers they are cage fighters.

 

[Jazzyjazz2323]

Thundercats

 

[Austin Howe]

Don't get me wrong, but, Final Fantasy. Wait a minute, VII and VIII did that. And well. Hmm. . .

Oh, Mana.

 

[ShogunGino]

The Legend of Zelda. 4 words: Link with a GUN.

Rereading this thread, you reminded me of this.
