What franchise would you redo from the last 25 years? I’ll start with Justice League.

First of all, I’m glad JL got some attention in 2017 away from the avengers but my point is where was green lantern? Hawk girl?

The thanagars are a huge part of JL, moments at Wayne manor, stuff in space, tricky villains like Dr. Destiny etc. to me the 2017 film is more and more feeling like a Hollywood cash in.

This feels like James Gunn Superman marketing.

Megaman X. It's the greatest game series of all time, and it's been left to languish, and that's criminal. Reboot it.

Shit, didn't realize I was in off topic lol.

Fuck it, answer stays the same. Give me a quality MegaMan X animation!

Mega Man 11 was dope as fuck. It's not X, but still, some damn good Mega Man.

It's a great game for sure, but I'm an X guy through and through. I appreciate the classic series, have played through them, but that was almost as a more academic thing, like admiring the design of the games and the stage layouts. They're tight platformers, with outstanding second to second design, but the freedom of movement that the X series provides is really what made me fall in love with the series. I need a new X, I need it bad. Or hell, another ZX, as that was supposed to be a trilogy and they didn't finish it, so I'd be good with that.

 

[AJUMP23]

Star Wars sequels.

I dunno man it could have been called Mega Man X9 and I would have been cool with it. That said I want a sequel very badly. The fast forward/slowdown mechanic was such a great innovation and added so much to the gameplay. Mega Man is a series I'm very fond of. They are due for another installment.

Same here, for me it's the best platformer/shooter series of all time, and it's the best by quite a margin. Even the entries that weren't quite as good as they should have been were still pretty good games. The only game in the entire series that's legitimately awful is X7, other than that all the series are great. Zero might actually be the best of the whole bunch in terms of story and gameplay, and ZX feels a lot like the Zero series, so I think that'd be the logical place to sequel it, but I feel like Capcom only cares about the original series these days, which is kind of a bummer. Like I said, I like the originals, but once you get used to the movement of X it's tough to go back.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

MCU Post Phase 3

Would do lot of things differently

And wipe out the whole slate Post Phase 3. Maybe keep a few things

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I don’t think I’ve ever played any MegaMan game

 

[Jinxed]

How about just make? I'd love big budget live action movies of Mobile Suit Gundam

I play fighting games. I hate Zero.

 

[Lord Panda]

I'd redo all the Kelvin timeline Star Trek movies with Denis Villeneuve helming the whole franchise.

I'd wipe out all the NuTrek shows.

[Sophist]

Was going to say Shenmue but it's older than 25 years (December 29, 1999). The second halves of Game of Thrones or Lost.

 

[JBat]

the Amazon Wheel of Time Show. Amazon rolled a nat 1 on that waste of money. could be so much more and it hurts

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Alien. Get rid of everything after Alien Resurrection, flip a coin to see if we toss Alien 3 through the airlock as well.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I don’t think I’ve ever played any MegaMan game

Or me

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Red Steel for vr, its literally ez money for Ubicrap and they decided not to make it.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Matrix sequels
West wing continue the story with different administrations
Babylon 5 with a larger budget
Hobbit movies

Star Fox

 

[thefool]

Dune

 

[SJRB]

One of the worst movie experiences ever. I could not believe how bad it was, it's straight up a two-hour troll video.

 

[Ovek]

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Friends starring Mr Beast, Paris Hilton, and the Shoe Doc as Chandler, Phoebe and Gunther.

Rest of cast tbc but you get the gist.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

The Fly

Edit: oh, it’s too old

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I agree the last two books were bad. I felt that ever since King got hit by the van and survived that made him rush on completing The Dark Tower books

 

[GymWolf]

Scratch every trace of disney star wars.

 

[jason10mm]

It never even got to "franchise" level, but daaaaamn it had such promise...

And another aborted relaunch, again with such promise, but just went so wrong

But the biggest was this, turning it into an over produced, bloated travesty that probably kept us from getting stories from the Silmarillion for another 20 years

 

[phant0m]

SOCOM on the Decima engine

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Yeah, a real shame John Carter didn't get any traction. It's a much better film than it gets credit for.

 

[Sardaukarama]

Golden Axe , Ghosts n Goblins

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Alien. Get rid of everything after Alien Resurrection, flip a coin to see if we toss Alien 3 through the airlock as well.

Get rid of everything after Aliens and finance Neil's follow up.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Skull & Bones as a major Jack Aubrey Master & Commander style adventure. Command the HMS Surprise and take on the French and the Spanish in full naval combat including ship boarding. Fleshed out docking allows for on-foot trade and exploration across exotic regions of the globe. Release it offline 5 years ago.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Friends starring Mr Beast, Paris Hilton, and the Shoe Doc as Chandler, Phoebe and Gunther.

Rest of cast tbc but you get the gist.

Guacala, how disgusting.... Not at all in the world. By the way, I hate Phoebe with all my soul.

I hate FRIENDS

 

[xrnzaaas]

Assassin's Creed deserves another shot at a movie. Just keep it 80%+ in historical times, feature some cool quiet assassinations and no idiotic scenes about recreating moves in the Animus.

 

[Gp1]

I would make Masters and Commanders in a proper movie franchise even though the first movie is fantastic. Star wars Post Disney would be an easy answer.

Games?
Rainbow Six for sure.
Throw everything after the third game out of the window of a helicopter over the Colombian jungle.

Surely there is an abandoned theme park somewhere so we can really make that storyline in live action.

The Matrix. The first one was so good, but it never had those truly great sequels that could have elevated the series into some lasting pop-culture phenomenon. The heavily-hyped, but really poor Enter the Matrix game probably hurt too.

Actually, and this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne Moss were miscast (they're way too wooden, emotionless, and expressionless). I would recast the first movie too, to match how expressive Neo and Trinity were in those awesome storyboards that were produced for the movie.

Eww, this guy wants the Will Smith Matrix to exist

 

[GeekyDad]

Can't think of anything from the last 25 years, but if you let me go back to the 70s, I can think of quite a few.
