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

[Songbird-O]

Grand Theft Auto: Animal Crossing Edition.

 

[smearyllama]

My dad says Geico commercials, or any film by Yoko Ono.

I say Harry the Dirty Dog.
It'd be like Dead to Rights and Dirty Harry combined into one!

 

[MassiveGeek]

Katamari Damaci

This.

Oh my god, that would be absolutely awful. D:

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Pokemon

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

I would so love to see that movie.

Also I thing "There Will be Brawl" did this subject perfectly.

Image SNIP

Undeniably horrifying, a world made of robots.

Ninja'd right out of the gate...


Hmmm....

I know!

 

[Treeinthewoods]

Babes in Toyland... FOR VENGEANCE

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang You're Dead

Charlie and the Really Serious, Dark and Brooding Chocolate Factory on the Wrong Side of the Tracks

 

[JemothSkarii]

CoD MW2.
See what I did there?
J/K
I agree with Crash Bandicoot, but I reckon they should make a gritty reboot of Plok or something.
EARTHWORM JIM! THAT'S IT!

 

[DustyDrB]

A gritty reboot of Mario, depicting the struggles of a plumber on the job.

 

[Disaster Button]

The Teletubbies.

Why is a pregnant Lala chainsmoking next to a doped up Tinky Winky? And what the hell is Po watching on a one-eyed Dipsy's stomach television?

There you have it.

OT: ilomilo 2: The Death of Milo.

I've seen that before and I still find it creepy, being chased by lifeless, empty-eyes Teletubbies that want to eat me is a new fear.

Doctor Who Rebooted:

Always unhappy and brooding from being outcast from the Time Lords for being non-conformist.

His TARDIS's chameleon circuit breaks when it turns into an army recruitment building.

It can't be called "TARDIS" anymore, because the moral guardians would complain that it sounds too much like calling someone a "'tard", and they don't want children to repeat it, even though its not supposed to be for children.

The theme song will be performed by Rammstein, in English.

The Doctor has a specific need to stop terrorists, and terrorists only.

He no longer has a sonic screwdriver, but a gun that morphs into other guns, or a gun that has multiple settings (a la Judge Dredd)

Everyone who travels with him can ONLY be female, and they're not called "companions" anymore, they're "nurses".

The Doctor still regenerates, but as an older, more zombie-like of himself each time.

And just to try and expand the viewer base, they cast Robert Pattinson as The Doctor, but he plays it with an American accent.

Mwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa....

hahahahahahahahahaha!

The bit that made me laugh about this was the Rammstein song in English, from there I got Pussy stuck in my head because its the only song of theirs I've heard recently with (somewhat) English lyrics and starting imagining that being the intro music.

...Now I'm remembering seeing them live, oh god the penis cannons that fire foam. Funny stuff.

 

[TheEvilCheese]

Mario Sunshine.
Without the sunshine.

That would be the most deeply depressing thing ever.

 

[Chronarch]

Tetris, it would be absurd since there would be no point to make it gritty.

 

[Mr.Napier]

Wheres Waldo?

 

[sheic99]

A gritty reboot of Lazy Town.

It could work...right?

Your link is broken.

 

[gibboss28]

Mario Sunshine.
Without the sunshine.

That would be the most deeply depressing thing ever.

...wouldn't that just be Mario?

 

[Brawndo]

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

 

[Drakmeire]

Barney?
Um...wait that was done wasn't it...

was it as awesome as this?

[One Seven One]

Undeniably horrifying, a world made of robots.

I imagine it would end up as something like terminator.

 

[baddude1337]

Viva Pinata.

Hard-Boiled crime thriller anyone?
