Matt Frisbee Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares What mixed-genre premises would you find disturbing? Here's an example: "Mel Brooks and Akira Kurosawa collaborating on one movie." (Mixing Ninja Hero with extreme doses of comedy) Let's see what ideas you can come up with? Edit: This was just something that came to me totally at random. This has already been done -- the Japanese came up with Ranma 1/2 a couple of decades ago...

Michael Hopcroft Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares For a combination of Fan-service Anime and American film: MOUSEhunt The Last Samurai Champloo (Tom Cruise goes hip-hop in Japan) The weird thing about this thread is that people keep coming up with these things all the time in the various fandoms and, weirdness of weirdnesses, they work. Take, for example, a story that was quite popular on the sites called Azumanga Daioh in SPAAAAACE!. The premise was that the Star wars trilogy was retold with the cast of the schoolgirl comedy Azumanga Daioh in place of the main characters. Thus we had, for example, pig-tailed child prodigy Chiyo being trained in the Ways of the Jedi in place of Luke Skywalker. The really weird thing is that the writer actually thought through his whole universe, including things that George Lucas never bothered with. For example, remember how Leia watched impassively as Alderaan was obliterated? When the scene was repeated, with Kaorin (who in the original series suffered misforutne after misfortune, to utterly absurd degrees) in Leia's place, she was devastated. Much of the rest of the story was built around her regaining her self-will after the dual shocks of that and the death of the Obi-wan substitute (in this case Sakaki, on whom the original Kaorin had a comically unnoticed girl-crush that utterly dominated her life).

AdamLeisemann Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Re: Genre-crossover nightmares In the version I remember (pre-special edition, BTW), Leia didn't just watch impassively. She did cry out, "NOOOOOOOO!" Of course, that's my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
