My personal changes to the Hobbit trilogy films

so a lot of this comes both from personal preference and obviously hindsight years after the movies came out. im not striving terribly hard to gear things solely towards the books but certain things do work better geared that way plus they do have to stretch out to three movies. i did grow up with both the original book and the rankin/bass special so both of those are equel in the standards i hold things to. ill start with some overarching changes then to some smaller, more detailed ones.

-one primarily would be slightly toning down the unlikable traits of the dwarves overall. it just feels like they pushed too hard in making the dwarves rude, standoffish, unruly and unpleasant to really sympathize with in many cases. if just say thorin and dwallin are the standoffish ones, and say another two or three are the rowdy ones, and another one is the blunt or rude one, it would work a bit more but many of these unflattering traits are just too shared among the dwarves and it seemed like an unnecessary addition that keeps the individuals from being fleshed out more.

-i would also tone down the overreliance on connecting to LOTR a bit. i know they are connected in major ways, but the problem is that this story looses its autonomy and focus, simply becoming a prequel rather than its own story that leads into the next. that includes bilbo not continuously having flashes to the eye of sauron, less implication of sauron focusing on commanding the orcs and getting the mountain/dragon for himself and more that he is aiding/encouraging the events. sauron wanting smaug as an ally would more primarily be gandalfs worry. that would also include smaug not being aware of saurons threat.

-azog would not be in the trilogy outside of the moria flashback. bolg, who would have a different design altogether, would rightly be the main villain and fill mostly the same role. it honestly seemed like a very unnecessary change in the first place. the orc hunters in "an unexpected journey" would not appear until the attack when radagast appears, this would also mean that bolg's identity and motivation dont come out until the cliffside finale even though we see him at weathertop.

-smaug would have his traditional 4 legged and winged design from the concept work. its just my personal preference for dragons. he would also get to say his boast speech in full. a shot of his body sinking into the dark depths of the lake would also be added.

-thorin would have a bit of a longer beard.

-kili would have lighter hair to more closely resemble fili. they'd also get more shared scenes/focus instead of primarily kili.

-dwallin would have more grey in his hair

-bombur and bifur would get more attention and be closer with bilbo like bofur. this would play up their being somewhat outsiders for not being of the line of durin, and also because in both the book and rankin/bass special, bombur is one of the most prominent dwarves, but in the films is mostly for fat jokes and has barely any lines.

-the "misty mountains cold" song would be extended.

-when the witch king attacks radagast, he appears in the armored spectral form from the third film, this makes much more sense as to partially hide his identity from unaware viewers, but also because the form we saw was how he appeared in the shadow realm, so he wouldnt appear that way in the physical world.

-a bit more time would be shown to pass in rivendell, including the "bilbo in rivendell" deleted scene. i'd add a scene where some elf children sing a few lines of the elf song from the book, which amuses thorin, showing a bit of his softer side. the bofur song scene would remain in but would be less chaotic and the elf minstrels would join in, showing a smidge better relationship between the dwarves and the less antagonistic elves.

-the goblins would be designed to more closely resemble the moria orcs seen in "fellowship". they would also emerge after dark and join the orcs on the cliffs before the eagles arrive. similar to the books, the Golbin town song would be present as a chant as the dwarves are taken along. the addition of the goblin king recognizing thorin and hinting at azog would not be present.

-the collapsed bridge escape from goblin town would not be quite so ridiculous.

-a larger group of wargs would attack on the cliff and bolg/orcs wouldnt be seen in the scene until they arrive at the cliff, with the wargs having arrived first

-gandalf would briefly address the lord of eagles before they leave

-beorns bear form would get more screentime and he would be a much less grim character outside his dislike for orcs and distrusting the dwarves. too many characters are grim in this trilogy. the deleted scene of the dwarves intro would remain in

-legolas would be a less ruthless/moody and overpowered character. he would still be slightly naive but very skilled.

-the romance between tauriel and kili doesnt exist, rather she strikes a minor friendship with him and fili in their cells while captured. her and legolas following them to lake town is more her devotion to unraveling the larger events.

-the extended river battle does not take place; after the gate is opened, a prolonged battle between the elves and orcs at the river gate would intercut with the dwarves trying to manage going through the rapids before the remaining orcs flee the battle to follow them. more focus on all the elves fighting and not just legolas and tauriel. also kili does not get poison arrowed.

-alfred gets much less screentime and is less weaselly and is either a suck up or a complainer; is much less aggressive and arrogant in personality. he would either die with the master or remain with the survivors but be much less prominent other than getting stuck with bad duties and acting cowardly.

-only kili and fili get left behind in lake town, from being late from drinking. they are taken in by bard, which draws the orcs there by scent. tauriel would then choose to stay to protect them and the children, which legolas agrees with. they thus see the death from smaug's attack which warrants their unnerving towards thorin later. legolas would not leave the city but simply disappears battling the orcs and doesnt reappear until meeting with tauriel on the shore after the town is destroyed.

-the battle of five armies would be less one sided and hopeless for the humans/dwarves/elves until the near end. more elves and humans would survive to fight on till the end; elf archers would remain on the mountain slope like the book while the rest fell back to help secure dale. the orcs would have much less trolls and ogres fighting for them.

-the misty mountains cold instrumental would be used when thorins company lead the dwarf charge

-rather than a trap and dying separately, fili and kili would be cornered by bolg on ravenhill, who kills both in combat in sight of thorin

-there would be more eagles arriving and a few would be seen being shot down before they fully turn the tide.

-beorn would instead arrive shortly after legolas and tauriel and, after telling off thrandruil, the three head for ravenhill and fight off the approaching orcs while thorin fights bolg. a shot of beorn baring thorins body on his back towards erabor would be seen before the funeral scene. legolas and tauriel would be present at the funeral. thrandruil and his remaining elves would be standing outside dale as the memorial horns sound.

-thrandiul does remain and fight on after legolas and gandalfs words and is shown awkwardly embracing his son after the battle. legolas' final conversation with his father and the reference to aragorn are not present-cause that sucked.

-a short montage would show bilbo, gandalf and beorns return journey over time, including them staying at beorns, stopping at rivendell and digging up the troll treasure.

deleted/extended scenes that would remain in the films: bilbo at the hobbit market, extended dwarves raid the pantry scene, dwarves interrogated by grand goblin, dwarves intro to beorn, enchanted river, extended mirkwood scene, dwarves vs elves battle, the women join the battle, bilbo plants the acorn, thorins company during battle, bifur losing his axe, thorins funeral.

so, what are others thoughts on these changes, would they have been a benefit to the films, a hindrance or are they just overall pointless.

My changes/edits to ROTB to make it a better film, without actually changing the film as it is.

so without changing the overall plot of the film as it is, these are the tweaks and changes i would have made to the film to, to me, make it a far better film. please comment if this makes it better in your eyes

-in the opening, more maximals would be seen fleeing from the terrorcons to the transwarp tower with the main group. the film would also hint more heavily at the maximlas being from the far future.

-there would be less of Noah's scenes in the early movie; just a few of them showing his family is struggling/sick brother and would quickly movie on to him reluctantly joining in Reek's heist to make the money, so we paint him as more of a regretful criminal than this luckless job hunter that isnt a team player.

-the optimus/transit fight would be included(minus narration) after meeting noah and elena; this would be both to show how tough optimus is so it is a bigger shock with how he gets beaten by scourge. also to intro the transformers earlier; the films keep thinking the TFs arent relevant until the plot needs the humans to encounter them when we already know its a TF film and the bots are the whole point of the story. also, optimus' arm cannon would be redesigned to be less bulky and ridiculous looking.

-the dump truck disguise would clearly be shown to just be a hologram

-a bit more play up of arcee and bumblebee as a close duo, including failing to tagteam battletrap, who is more audibly enjoying the fight and boisterous.

-mirage's redundant "what, they fly now?" line would be gone and replaced with something more sensible like "who the hell are these guys? they ain't cocky enough to be decepticons"

-optimus' "impossible" line would be removed. guy acted outraged that someone caught his axe strike.

-a few shots at the museum/alley of the autobots mourning bumblebee

-airazor and elana's deleted scene would be kept in, we would also see airazor transform just to emphasize her point, to which even optimus would cock and interested eyebrow.

-a few changes would be made to scourge; cosmetically, his left hand would always remain the big claw/cannon and not convert to a normal hand. he would be a bit more morose at times, showing that while he relishes what he does, he does still hold some resentment of his slavery.

-after being mentally tortured by unicron, scourge would be mocked by battletrap and they almost come to blows, but nightbird breaks it up. battletrap would then comment that they only follow him because he is unicrons favorite servant...for now.

-the plane ride would be a few minutes longer, and would include; mirage's bravado cracking to show he feels partially responsible for what happened to bee as it was his plan, optimus' explaining to the humans that an autobot hidden in south america will meet them as he sent other autobots around the earth to hide, stratosphere doing some pilot announcements and elena waving out the window to airazor as she flies past.

-wheeljack would have his concept design(the wide one on the far right of the linked pic). the whole accent exchange would end after wheeljacks line "accent, what accent?" with noah just shrugging it off after that. https://i.redd.it/jpal6uh9wr8b1.jpg

-both elena and wheeljack would be the ones to explain history/exposition stuff, often eagerly finishing each others sentences. wheeljack would also be the one to give noah the gauntlet.

-it would be explained there are so few humans around where they landed because of the festival and stratosphere says he will take off before he is seen. prime would also look back at bee's body and stratosphere says he will take good care of him.

-while noah and elena descend into the caves, we have a couple minutes between the autobots. wheeljack tries to talk about bumblebee but arcee gets angry and mirage and optimus chime in to break the tension.

-after scourge comments that the autobts are moving and must have found the key, he is content to wait for the right moment but it is the over eager battletrap who decides to move and force them to give chase.

-the cheetor and rhinox being in the cave scene would be kept in

-as they walk down the river, it would be clear wheeljack and arcee are talking as they walk rather than just blankly walking in the background as mirage and noah talk.

-after primal asks optimus to walk with him in the village, there would be a scene of cheetor giving one of the human kids a ride. mirage would then ask about them staying in beast mode and rhinox would explain the original maximals swore to live more peacefully in their beast modes unless in great need. cheetor would ask if anyone else wants a ride, to which elena, then noah, mirage, arcee and wheeljack all sheepishly raise their hands.

-as optimus and primal talk, primal has a flashback of witnessing human achievements over the centuries, both constructive and destructive, before saying they are worth defending(as was seen in some concept art).

-cheetor and rhinox more openly mourn airazors death with primal, as does elena.

-a line would be inserted to make clear the power of the transwarp key that it can simply will the transwarp gateway into being.

-rhinox would be the one to produce the hologram and explain the tunnels that the humans could use, clarified to be exhaust vents.

-we see scourge specifically use the keys power to summon the sweeps through the tower.

-optimus alone takes out battletrap, with him replacing primal in the mace grab moment and be a bit more drawn out.

-mirage's body envelops noah before reformatting into the suit around him rather than that trash we got of his body just sorta falling apart and metal just materializing slowly over noah like marvel nanotech.

-bumblebee's voice is restored and there is more of a happy/shocked reaction from the autobots at his return

-stratosphere provides cover fire and smack talk from the air as he strafes the volcano

-primal joins optimus in double teaming a more frantic scourge and is the one to deliver the killing blow to avenge his home. scourge would have also morbidly remarked during the fight that he'd once been brave "like them" but all still fall to unicron.

-change scourge's last line to a desperate "unicron MUST prevail" showing that being the slave is all he has left. his death would also simply be primal impaling him through the spark as his body sinks into the lava flow.

-unicron delivers a final threat through the portal just before it closes, along the lines of "you cant deny me forever" or "i will find you"

-a shot during optimus' speech would show the autobots and maximals burying airazor before the shot of primal on the cliffside.

-wheeljack would be seen going back to US with the others

-noah wouldnt get a closing narration, we would just see the scene of him reuniting with his family with music over it.

-mirage being revived wouldn't exist, nor would G I Joe; the closing scene would just be noah going to his interview, seeing elena on tv, and going in with renewed confidence before it cuts to black.

Mystery Inc as pokemon trainers

I really wasted a day and went all out with this when i found the meme templates. So kept them all as being in the Kanto region for simplicity and still imagine them as mystery solvers, just in the pokemon world and with their pokemon to aid in their investigations. I figure a lot of their cases would mirror the weird ep-ep occurrences seen in the original anime/manga; thwarting pokemon kidnappings and other thefts, dealing with rogue or rampant pokemon/trainer, keeping ghost pokemon in check, diving into past mysterious of their world, etc.

shaggys pokemon all match his personality very well, being mostly slow/sedentary types. his growlithe, scooby doo, is always out of his pokeball and with him. his squirtle would eventually evolve to wartortle and be jealous of scooby, sorta being the scrappy doo of things.

I envisioned daphne as going for very cutesy/elegant looking pokemon that are all still very well trained battlers;i do envision her dragonair evolving eventually

freds are all pokemon to aid in trapping; disguise, speed, strength, hole digging and psychic; also strives to get his pokemon evolved to full potential as soon as possible.

velma prioritizes the usefulness of her pokemon so has half psychic types and other industrial/electric types

My idea for a new TF/GI joe crossover series

admittedly an animated series would be awesome but a comic is more realistic.

anyways, one of the main complaints in most fusions of these two, no matter the medium, is that it takes away from the main TF characters. the fix to that here would be the Joes would be the main characters fully and would be pitted against the decepticons in trying to thwart their conquest schemes in the same way they would cobra, though the threat level of the decepticons is more akin to IDW Infiltration depiction. the main setup here is that it starts like the original G1 cartoon, but the difference is the decepticons destroy the ark and most of the autobots in a space battle before they reach earth, though the nemesis and its crew still end up crashing to earth and lying dormant in the same way the arc originally did.

true to the original the main nemesis crew would consist of megatron, soundwave, starscream, skywarp, thundercracker, reflector, cassettes(rumble, frenzy, ravage, laserbeak, buzzsaw), insecticons, and a handful of air warrior seekers(more developed personalities and some gender diversity). following the g1 setup, the insecticons would again be a group that were separated from the main crew in the crash and developed differently over the years before they ally again. the end would also see the nemesis converted into her titan form, as megatrons ultimate weapon.

the designs would mostly just be updates and based on classic g1 themed looks. only different one i know if that negatron would have a design based on his look in the Transformers: Online game. Also I would love to see megatron and starscreams relationship get a bit of a tweak to better differentiate between them. i would characterize megatron as more professional, reserved and commanding, only occasionally giving into her his more reckless/sadistic tendencies. whereas stasrscream would be the one more openly cruel/sadistic/maniacal. not terribly off from how IDW originally portrayed them

the Joes would start more as a smaller task force before recruiting new members they encounter and recruit throughout their activities. the starting team would include general colton, Jane Walters, Hawk, Duke, scarlett, snake eyes, flint, high tech, rip cord, tunnel rat, cover girl, lady jaye, dusty, shipwreck, spirit, wild bill.

there would also be emphasis on the wreck of the ark being on the moon, and scavenging its resources, including from the autobot bodies, over the years since the moon landing is what has given the Joes their advanced tech. An autobot survivor would eventually turn up and uneasily work with the Joes, though the revelation of their cannibalizing their people would lead to the deterioration of the alliance. im mostly leaning towards ratchet as said bot.

carrying over from the use in ROTB, there would eventually be the reveal of a small group of maximal survivors(design aesthetic also similar to ROTB) who have hidden on earth for centuries before making contact with the Joes. true to form, they would be from the far future, though this time by way of trying to thwart the quintessons in their efforts to meddle with history. the ROTB details that would also be kept would be the maximals choice to mostly remain in beast mode and only fight with melee weapons.

cobra commander, in his old snake persona, would also appear in much the way he did in G1 3rd season as an overarching antagonist in the background. much later contact with cybertron would also be reestablished, including a team of autobots coming to earth in search of the ark crew and eventually allying with the joes.

so, does this seem sound enough in basis that others would read if it were a series?

So I had a really weird, random transformers concept idea pop up

So I had this idea that i just got yesterday and kept thinking about. similar to RID2015's motif of all the decepticons being animal themed, this series would have the theme of the Decepticons be based off the universal classic monsters. literally this whole idea came from a pic where someone showed that wfc megatrons arm could be swapped with primes because of the weapon gimmick. and i was like, oh megatron with a different arm is cool, what if he had many salvaged parts, like frankenstein. so yeah i just rolled with and kept developing that concept, fell down the rabbit hole a bit and so here's what i have so far.

the plot is that at the height of the war, shockwave tricks megatron into leading a crew of cons mostly loyal to him on a fools errand looking for an energy source, so he can gain command of the deceptions. ending up marooned on earth in the scheme, they spend years there, attempting to first conquer humanity, then hide from them after being repeatedly overwhelmed and many killed, and finally to simply survive. badly damaged and no longer caring for their goals, infighting finally causes them to all go rogue to survive in their own ways. after the end of the war, optimus leads a crew of autobots to investigate and possibly capture megatron after learning of his fate when shockwave was defeated. the autobots role then would basically be monster hunters, attempting to remain in hiding on earth, with the help of Mikaela Banes, to hunt down the now monstrous decepticons

megatron-primarily based on the Frankenstein monster, he'd be surviving now as a grotesque patchwork of parts from his fallen warriors to stay alive(also partially based on DOTM design). he still maintains his drive to dominate and cunning and continues to manipulate events from the shadows, also sorta making him a bit of dr frankenstein as well. bots he'd def have parts incorporated from would include thundercracker, blackout, demolishor, flamewar.

nightbird would be based on the bride of frankestein, owing to her original origin, she will have been made by megatron from parts scavenged from shadow striker, slipstream and flamewar.

barricade would be based on igor, having been badly crippled and still faithfully aiding megatron as his crony. he secretly has the statsis locked bodies of rumble and frenzy hidden away, which he has one-sided conversations with.

starscream would play up his g1 trait and be a spark ghost, frequently haunting/tormenting megatron but also keeping tabs on the other cons and watching/harassing the autobots.

soundwave would be based on the phantom of the opera, with half his head being melted/badly damaged, he now hides in the sewers and composes his own music which he anonymously broadcasts to the human city above. he is also going insane as his damage means his mind reading abilities are always active and hearing all the humans minds. he also refuses to free his cassettes from his chest out of paranoia that they may either betray or abandon him.

skywarp would be based on the invisible man, his body having been rendered virtually nonexistent by previously being overloaded when attempting to teleport, he wears makeshift armor(made from jet parts and based on the armada version) to be seen and hold together his barely existing physical form.

reflector would be based on the classic zombie horde; he/they created far too many copies/clones at once, spreading the shared consciousness too thin until it snapped, leaving them all bereft of any higher consciousness, only barely living functions like stunted mobility and desire to find energy, as well as brain modules from other bots to potentially restore their own mind.

shatter, would be based on dracula, after a failed experiment in augmenting the decpeticons energy processing abilities, became a ravenous energy vampire, compulsively sucking off raw energy sources to survive, including other bots.

sixshot would be based on a werewolf, having lost control of his savage and now independent wolf mode, which he cannot resist switching to at random times.

spittor would be based on the creature of the black lagoon, with his look and traits based off his tfa version but to a greater extent. he now also has a proper frog alt mode, though a grotesque one.

cyclonus would be based on the mummy, having been supposedly killed by the humans and bound in titanium wrapping and dumped underground to be forgotten. he eventually stirs from statsis lock, his mind deteriorated and his body barely functioning and only held together by the bindings, and goes out to seek warped revenge on humans and transformers alike.

Bonecrusher, based on his movie version, would just be like a wild engine of destruction, very much a jason vorhees type.

blackarachnia, with a tfa design, would be also mutated into a technorganic which is treated more as her being this biomechanical abomination, somewhat inspired by the Metaluna Mutant.

snapdragon and apeface would be based on godzilla and king kong respectively, and be like mini kaiju who consistently feud in beast mode and destroy the same city over and over.

the insecticons are now feral insect types who have built a large underground hive.

the autobots would consist of optimus prime, ironhide(movieverse based), red alert(tfa based), jazz, bulkhead, mirage, hashtag(earthspark based), bumblebee, cliffjumper, whirl, knockout(rotf based) and wheeljack(dotm body design and personality, but with typical colors and head design). optimus, jazz, bee and cliff would have overall design and traits based on their wfc/foc designs, simply just if they now had earth mode features.

so, what are thoughts on this admittedly weird concept?

I've written up a whole pitch for a Donkey Kong movie spinoff of the mario bros movie

I truly love donkey kong as a franchise and couldn't get this idea out of my head after seeing the movie so had to just type it up( in a mix of excitement, boredom and being very high) put it out and see what others thought of it.

The movie would have a lot of heart and be the age old story of the hero wanting to keep his carefree lifestyle and not have to rise to leadership/responsibility. The movie would be a time skip of a few years after the Mario bros movie so it relies less on those events outside of DK still resenting being beaten by Mario and is pushing a bit too hard to be seen as the best. The time skip would also allow for making cranky a bit older and closer in look/voice to his usual look.

Dk would be the champion of the kongs and continuously drive off various incursions of their kremling enemies through the kingdom; it would be shown that the kong “army” is more for show and primarily just protects their boarders. The expectations of cranky for him to step up as a leader and mature would be the major weight on him.

A lot of emphasis on the family aspect of the kongs, with each member being a positive influence/voice for DK. Diddy and dixie constantly tag along with DK, looking up to him but he doesn’t quite “appreciate” them at the outset. Funky would be DKs cousin, live away from the city at the beach, have his plane and have the Jamaican accent and some bits of the spirituality of his animated series self. Candy kong would have her 64 design but redesigned so her height/proportions closer align with the other kongs. Playing up her dkc mini game/64 role, she’d be a music lover/dance instructor and be DKs main emotional anchor and the one who has been soothing his insecurities. Swanky kong would also reappear as a sleezy businessman but playing on the gag from the Mario movie, constantly ends up the butt of bad luck. Chunky kong, kiddy kong, Tiny kong and lanky kong are not main characters but have some lines and appear frequently and join in aiding in the finale. Other cameos would be bluster kong, yeti kong(eddie the mean old yeti), manky kong, redneck kong, dread kong, sumo kong, karate kong, ninja kong, and uncle kong. Also some scattered appearances of the bear brothers and tiki tak tribe members.

Kremlings trying to steal/destroy bananas to weaken the kongs, as usual, but king k rool is also using this as a distraction for a major operation; tunneling under the ground to strike at the kongs directly. The main kremling crew besides K rool would be klump(64 design), kalypso(possibly with her kressa concept design), kludge, kip, kass, koptor and, to a lesser degree, k lumsy. Other notable kremlings appearing as cameo/small parts would be krusha(a lieutenant), krunch, kasplatt, klobber/kaboom and Kuff n Klout. The main kremling army would be made up of kritters(most of which various shades of green but scattered blue and orange variants), but also klaptraps, rock krocs and kops. A montage of other confrontations with kremlings would also show some of the pirate kremlings, klubba, kackle/bones and kerozene.

So here is the main breakdown of the plot

-intro of DK being lazy and having to go deal with a kremling crisis, interspaced with an opening montage of DKs life and past deeds/adventurers, including events from the Mario movie and various game references.

He then heads back home and there is a quick intro to most of the cast as he is nonchalant as he is praised by his peers. Meets up with candy for a lunch date and is constantly pestered by diddy and dixie. He is summoned to meet with cranky who is aging and exasperated by DK not taking eventually being king serious and it is clear DK is not interested and wants to go back to a carefree life style and the two argue until DK leave upon hearing Funky’s plane arrive. At the same time, kremling Koptor spies on the kong city before reporting back to king k rool, who plots with his main minions as his kritters work on a large weapon.

The two reconnect and DK clearly wishes he could live funky’s easygoing life but is rebuffed by him. Another kremling attack on banana groves is reported and DK reluctantly goes to deal with it, followed by diddy and dixie. The kremlings are easily driven off; DK thinks nothing of it and overhypes his abilities, but diddy is suspicious; an amused K rool watches from a distance. As the kongs celebrate another victory for DK, diddy tells cranky of his suspicions and he confronts DK on the information. Another very public argument ensues between the two and an angry cranky reveals he isn’t DKs father, but raised him after his father, DK jr, died. An angry and heartbroken DK denounces cranky and his future throne and leaves.

He goes to visit funky and stays in his old jungle tree house from when he was younger. Diddy and dixie show up, having followed him, to try and lift his spirit; candy is in a kart and on her way as well, having been tipped off by chunky and tiny. DK, moping, goes to the cave below the tree house where he used to keep his bananas but finds it empty and opened to a much larger cavern beneath. The trio investigates and finds a large mining operation the kremlings have been opening underground, using enslaved mole miners, heading towards the kong city. They attempt to thwart it and DK challenges K rool directly but underestimates him and gets beaten. The trio are imprisoned and diddy/dixie befriend their guard, the massive yet simple k lumsy.

At the same time a saddened cranky regrets what he said and is comforted by the spirit of his deceased wife, wrinkly kong, who implores him to mend the relationship and accept DK for who he is. DK apologizes for taking diddy and dixie, as well as his responcibilities, for granted and helps them escape. He declines their getting help for him, as this was his fault, and sends them to warn cranky of the kremlings plan. He is likewise comforted and encouraged by wrinkly’s spirit and he befriends k lumsy into letting him free. DK frees the captive animal buddies and with them causes chaos and the collapse of the cavern. The moles all dig to safety and the kremlings flee; K rool leaves DK to perish while revealing the collapse is pointless as his weapon has already reached its destination and he has already won. DK and the animal buddies are dug up by diddy, dixie, funky and candy, who ride the animals back to kong city.

They return and DK and cranky reconcile; cranky reveals he’s actually DKs grandfather, DK the 1st(everyone just started calling him cranky), and his son, DKs father, was killed by King k rool. Cranky has always held guilt for this as the war with the kremlings was partially his fault, as he refused to acknowledge the kremlings as equals, which incurred K rools wrath. Suddenly from beneath the center of the city rises K rools weapon: a titanic, steampunk crocodile robot that begins attacking the city. Given hope by his friends, he leads them and the other kongs in repelling the death machine and the kremling troops within. Carts are used to tangle its legs while the kongs damage it by throwing barrels. DK finally nails it with enough exploding barrels at its joints that it collapses and explodes.

K rool has been watching from a distance and is in a rage at his defeat when DK arrives. They are confident in defeating him when his friends join and a battle royal erupts. When the tide turns against K rool, he orders k lumsy, revealed to be one of his siblings, to intervene but he refuses to hurt his new kong friends. DK finally lays out K rool, who orders a retreat but swears revenge. Sometime later, DK is crowned as king by cranky(the coronation has him holding the crystal coconut and golden banana) but he insists on a more hands off, relaxed reign(no crown or thrown), which cranky accepts; DK officially takes diddy and dixie as his “heroes in training”. Eventually, kremlings, led by K rools main minions, are destroying bananas trees and DK swings out to help, now joined by his friends. They swing through the canopy and jump through the tree line towards the shocked kremlings. Low shot of DK high in the air and diving with a punch shouting “It’s on like…” when the screen cuts and the DK rap starts playing as the credits role.

Leonardo(2007)-he was too high and mighty and just overall a poor leader and brother for the most part. Imagine having the nads to be leader of a vigilante group, friends with a former vigilante and telling another vigilante they dont have a right to do what they’re doing; seriously?

Rapheal(Bay films)-he’s genuinely unlikable and really just represents everything Michael Bay seems to think an action movie character should be; im a merciless, tough guy jerk but that’s all ok cause im still the “good guy”.

Donatello(Rise)-as much as I love rise as a series, this donetello, while creative in his over the top techie portrayal, is also the hardest version to sit through watching because he is portrayed just so consistently obnoxious, arrogant and close minded. I mean can u imagine any other version of the character actually inventing gadgets to nerf his own brothers.

Michalengelo(2012)-this just feels like the most annoyingly immature, naïve and childish version and could get annoying to watch for too long. Also, not as much an issue of the character himself but I think at this point im just kinda burnt out on Greg Cipes characters, cause they all just seem the same now.

Splinter(2012)-this version just felt too strict and detached for me to really like, and as i prefer the yoshi’s pet rat origin for splinter, I don’t feel much for the mutated Yoshi version.

April O’neil(2012)-nothing really bad other than I just simply didn’t really get much enjoyment from this version.

Casey Jones(2012)-I really hate this version, he doesn’t match the typical character and I just found him really annoying.

Shredder(80s)-he was good for the series and time he was out but as versions of shredder grew and developed more over the years, this one just became more of a joke, even clearer so when he crossed over into the 03 and 2012 series’. The 2012 version was close to getting this spot purely on the level of pettiness that defined the character.

Foot clan(1990)-originally was considering the 80’s cartoon version of junk robots but they went with the time/tone but this version just seemed like less a threat when u realized they were just a gang of impressionable runaway teens instead of an actual ninja clan.

Karai(Bay Films)-this was just a waste of her character who contributed nothing to either movie; she was jbetter off just being a generic goon

Baxter Stockman(rise)-again, as much as I love rise and the things it did different, baxter stockboy just did not land or come out great. There might have been hope if we’d seen him more to be built up more but as of now, yeah he is the weakest version.

Jennika(IDW)-I just really don’t like this character, her role and especially her becoming a new member of the turtles. Unfortunately my dislike is exacerbated by how much she is overhyped many in the fandom.

What if The Shredder and Slash were a merged character?

hear me out

so earlier i finished a rewatch of "secret of the ooze" and at the end when we see super shredder, it made me think of that, of super shredder from 2012 and of what if we had an outright mutant shredder in a series. i tried to think what would be a good fit for him and i thought the most fitting and poetic would be a turtle(snapping of course) since he hates them. this also reminded me of what happened to hun in "turtles forever" and he was in a way the slash of that universe. i figure a similar scenario could easily happen to shredder as a later development of a series. these seemed even more fitting remembering that slash is often characterized as having bladed gauntlets similar to shredder; when i was younger i actually thought slash stole them from shredder. i imagine a body design similar to either the 2012 or IDW/mutants in Manhattan versions of slash, and having the blade gauntlets, as well as bladed forearm/shin and shoulder pads and of course his helmet, minus the face covering.

anyone else think this would be an interesting turn to take in a future series?

Updated version

Fave Ninja Turtles blank by cekena on DeviantArt

clearly i have a preference for the 03 series lol

leonardo(2003 series)-this leo didn't quite go though the leadership arc most other versions do but he had many of those attributes down from the start which, to me, made him consistently enjoyable. he also felt like he handled the honorable/traditional aspects better. his extreme character arc in season 4 though, fighting against his own more controlling/extreme mentality was really stand out and well developed

raphael(batman vs tmnt film)-he's pretty standard for the character(most are pretty similar) but sticks out to me because of the small details, like his larger, more muscular size and scar, plus hello, he stood up to an angry batman and earned his respect, you cant beat that. 

donatello(bay films)-this version just nails the nerd angle so well and all the added details/gadgets are pretty fun. Rise version might have earned this spot if he wasnt so obnoxious and arrogant.

michelangelo(Rise)-03 version originally had this spot for the small spotlights he had, like his recurring "turtle titan" stories were always memorable to me. but rewatching Rise, it just nails him as the younger brother feel, being both a goof as well as more naive, immature  and impressionable.

splinter(2003 series)-this version was just amazing at balancing his depiction as a father(both strict and caring), teacher and legendary warrior. plus it was one of the best at depicting his strong connection to yoshi.

april O'neil(Rise)-the rise version just sticks out to me so much more for her personality, likability and relatability(what with the job troubles). plus she's one of the better versions at relating to the turtles, being treated like a sister to them as well as her many teamup eps with splinter. and her role in the series finale just cemented her as the best version to date.

casey jones(2003 series)-he doesnt have the edgy grittiness of other versions but he's still tough, likable, a good friend to the turtles and has a very cool backstory/history with hun and the purple dragons. is intro was also great as being a mirror up to raph of his own aggression struggles.

shredder(2003 series)-this is the most ruthless, tough, intimidating, absurdly cool looking and by far interesting version of shredder ever, especially with his hybrid characterization with krang. even when he wasnt in the series he still felt like an impactful presence.  

foot clan(2003 series)-the foot clan is typically very generic, but i love all the branches, groups and inner workings of how grand the organization is in this series.

karai(2003 series)-this version has to be the most developed and explored to date, walking the line between and honorable warrior and her loyalty to shredder; and her dynamic with leo was always entertaining. plus she is extremely awesome when she later becomes the shredder herself. the version from 07 film was a close second.

baxter stockman(03)-he didnt check off the mutant fly box but hes an ambitious scientist and a megalomaniac so he works perfect and always felt important. I do have to admit the progressive mutilations and constant returns always stuck in my mind.  

bebop/rocksteady(IDW comics)-prob my fav tmnt characters, the comics both update their designs in a fun way but it was their characterizations, history and motivation that really endeared this version of them to me. honestly, the lack of these two is one of the only cons against the 03 series.

My new DKC game outline

yeah, i kinda went crazy with this one. started when i did a topic on reddit about what others wanted in a new DKC game and it got me thinking a lot on it and I just went all out with this over a few days. 

The gameplay and game controls/look/ setup would be identical to DKC returns and tropical freeze, acting as a third to the trilogy as either a sequel or prequel to the other two, recreating the story of the original DKC; the kremlings invasion of Kong island.

Typical co-op play with Donkey and Diddy; each region would be the same and in the same sequence as “Returns”. That would understandably make it almost the same as “Returns” outside of enemies and bosses but I personally don’t mind that; it was an amazing game. Collectables would be of course be bananas, gold coins, KONG letters and fragments of tiki idols. Also a lot of use of giraffes as aides/boosts/mechanisms in stages (similar to cannon barrels); just cause it seems fun.

A friendly Tiki Doom(but a smaller one) to the kongs would be encountered consistently for tips and be the one representing the save progress for gameplay and during stages. Each region will have a Kong family rep that can be visited for some benefit or mini-game and if every achievement/unlockable for that region is completed, that kong can be unlocked to replay their region with(each kong having their own unique play style). Each region is under the control of a kremling lieutenant who is or sends out the actual boss to be faced. Each region also has one full stage involving a specific animal buddy, with some additional stages and mini-games being unlockable.

Typical enemies would be Kritters(all green colored); they’d have the shoulder pads of the classics but also the wrist bands and shorts of their newer designs. Other common kremling enemies would be Kludge, Klobber, Re-Koils, Krossbones, Kaboing, Koptor & klap traps. Other typical enemies would be bats, feral parrots, snapping turtles, leopards, porcupines, rams, skunks, frilled lizards, flamingos, wildebeests, Zingers, giant beetles.  

 Jungle: Cranky Kong would be this regions kong rep(along with wrinkly kongs ghost hanging about) and Rambi its animal buddy. The mini-game cranky offers would be a recreation of the classic DK v Mario barrel rolling battle. Klump(based on his 64 look) would be the kremling controlling the region and the boss he sends out would be a large force of giant Army’s.

Beach: Funky Kong would be this regions kong rep and Enguarde its animal buddy. Kip & Kass(K Rool’s niece and nephew) would be controlling this region and also be the boss’, controlling the kremlings dangerous submarine. As a reference to DKC 2, one stage would be set on a pirate ship of pirate themed kremlings(klomp, klinger, Krook,Kruncha, Kutlass, Skidda )ending with a mini-boss who’s a hybrid of kannon, captain scurvy and kaptain k rool. Unique enemies to this region would also be crabs, sharks, swordfish, and octopuses.

Ruins: Dixie Kong & Tini Kong would be this regions kong reps and Expresso its animal buddy. Kalypso controls this region and the boss is a colossal klap trap and its smaller brethren. A mini-game of this region would also have dixie/tini in race against the kremling Krunch.

Cave: Chunky Kong would be this regions kong rep(while also babysitting Kiddy Kong) and Winky its animal buddy. Also a lot of presence of moles here much like in “returns” as I really that they also live on the island and are the primary inhabitants of the region and rock kroks & Krash Kritters would be common enemies. A Rock Krok would be the boss, fusing with other rock kroks to become a larger version. A section of the boss fight would see the giant rock krok engulfed and merged with magma and molten rock.

Forest: Candy Kong would be this regions kong rep and Ellie its animal buddy. Krusha would control this region and the boss would be a large, monstrous deforestation vehicle he pilots.

Cliffs: Lanky Kong would be this regions kong rep(manky kong would be revealed as his mad brother) and Rattly its animal buddy. Kudgel would be controlling this region and be its boss(aided by some Koins).

Factory: Swanky Kong would be this regions kong rep( a few traits from bluster kong would be mixed in with him) and Squawks its animal buddy. Kasplat would control this region and the boss would be a giant robot kremling(who resembles Kerozene); it’s actually filled with and being puppeted by dozens of kritters who fall out when it takes damage.

Volcano: Yeti Kong(eddie the mean old yeti) would be this regions kong rep(the boarder of the volcano would now have some snowy terrain) and Squitter its animal buddy. K Lumsy would control this region and is its boss but is less antagonistic to the kongs and thus treats the battle like it’s a game.

Golden Temple: this would be where king k rool has settled into his throne(with all the stolen bananas as well) and the site of the final boss fight. His defeat would gain possession of the crystal coconut. The beaten K Rool is sent flying down to the beach, where his defeated minions begin dragging him in retreat, but he shares a glare with DK showing their feud is far from over.

Additional stages in the golden temple can be unlocked as playable if all the tiki idol fragments are collected. After the stages would be a mini-boss of Kong Fu, who guards/worships the temple, then the secret final boss (a malevolent false idol partly based on inka dinka doo). In the finale, using the crystal coconut unlocks the shrine of the ancient Kongazuma(based sorta on the statue in the DK themed field in mario super sluggers) whose statue bestows DK with the giant golden banana it held. The ending shows the whole kong family celebrating the defeat of the kremlings as DK adds the giant gold banana to his banana hoard.

please give feedback on if it would be something you'd enjoy playing.

Disney is REALLY trying to erase "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" from existing

I just watched "Beyond Infinity", the short documentary on Dinsey+ about the creation and development of buzz lightyear for toy story and the creation of the upcoming film. sure as others have speculated, there was not one single mention or clip of the orginal, and really good, animated series, which shocker, is not available to watch on the disney+(and im like 70% sure it used to be). its not like other companies/franchises havent tried to reboot origin stories but man are they really trying to erase all memory of their past attempt. A real shame cause it was a pretty good show and most who watched it enjoyed it.

also this observation has been taken down from the disney reddit 3 times now so even less likely of being noticed.

My Scooby doo gang headcanon

decided to post this here cause it got removed from reddit for some stupid reason

For starters the whole group is 19 years old. There would be a mix of real/fake mysteries/culprits; probably a ratio of 70% fake and 30% real supernatural/fantasy/science fiction/serious crimes. It would be a bit darker in some areas, along the lines of mystery incorporated with ongoing conspiracy/plot elements. also while they travel to solve mysteries and gain a legitimate reputation, it would also be revealed that they had to as they were chased out of Coolsville for "exposing the wrong person".

Fred would def see himself as the leader (the others are fine just letting him think so) and much like “be cool”, solving mysteries would be an obsession, as well as his complex plans and his love for the mystery machine(which is actually shaggy’s). He and daphne would still be in the early stages of a relationship but def together, though he’s still trying to find his footing as a BF. He would have his usual attire, though it would now be portrayed as a white pullover over a blue polo shirt. His trademark ascot would be addressed that its outdated and he retains it out of a misplaced “cool guy look” mentality and mostly fills the vibe of the all American teen.

Daphne, taking some cues from what they tried to do with “Be cool” would be the outgoing, social butterfly; someone able to blend in and adapt to most situations and settings with ease, though she would indeed be open to picking up trends or quirks through this. she'd be the most adept with social media but wouldnt make it to focused like more modern clichés of characters like that. I picture her being similar to Rachel from Friends; coming from a wealthy/privileged lifestyle but is now more grounded, independent and removed from that life, though not completely. She also would be consistently frustrated with fred’s easy distraction from her and their relationship. She’d also be a vegetarian as a counter to Shaggy’s gluttony for everything. she’d have some of the more recent versions’ martial arts training be and basically be the “fighter” of the group. She would have her usual look though has more modern leggings on her legs and wears flats.

Velma would importantly be half-asian, based on her portrayal by Hayley Kiyoko, which has been my fav take. She’d be the usual brains, even making gadgets, with a dry wit, as well as a bit of sardonic humor, but not quite so stuffy or aloof as some previous portrayals. She’d have a few shades of the unkempt introvert and conspiracy theorist type about her and a bit of the oddity of Egon Spangler in her manner and interests. She would be a smidge heavier and would be openly bisexual, but her attraction is not based on gender at all but purely on intelligence/personality; she admits that on some level each other members of the gang she can find physically attractive but knows fully there is no compatibility with any of them. A bit more friendship between her and daphne as people to confide and vent to.

Shaggy would be confirmed as a pot smoker(who cares anymore) but it wouldn’t be a defining trait of him; more just a casual thing he does that isn’t made a big deal of. He’d also originally be Canadaian born and the son of interracial parents, who facilitated his laid back, chill lifestyle. I’d explain his constant overeating as having a very high metabolism. He’d have the Blue Falcon super fan trait from “Scoob” and though Scooby doesn’t actually talk, his bond with him is strong enough that he can almost psychically understand him. he’d also have this sorta clumsy, dumb-luck “drunken master” type of fighting thing.

Scooby doesn’t really speak but is intelligent; his speaking is us hearing his inner monologue constantly; with him occasionally managing that sorta groaning dog speak. He mostly understands the world/situations around him, what is being said to/around him and is usually able to convey his own thoughts/desires/intentions fairly understandably through actions.

eager for others feedback on these takes
