CHAPTER NINE: ROBOGADGET'S PRIME DIRECTIVES â€œWAKEY-WAKEY, INSPECTOR,â€ a harsh voice said. Gadgetâ€™s eyes slowly fluttered open. Everything was blurry from his point of view. But when the world resolved itself into clear, three-dimensional relief, he wished it had stayed blurry. There, in f...

Out of the Schumacher films, Batman Forever wasnt so bad. ALthough i hated how Two Face was portrayed in the film. Two Face never refered to himself in 3rd person. "PATIENCE HELL WE WANT HIM DEAD!" That's...not exactly third person, but first-person plural (I think). Doesn't matter, thoug...

CHAPTER EIGHT: â€œWE TAKE ROBOTS SERIOUSLYâ€ â€œAN EXCELLENT QUESTION, MAD-CAT,â€ Dr. Claw said as he watched his foe take his friend back to her car. The hovering stealth-drone that had observed their conversation truly lived up to its name. â€œJUST WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH INSPECTOR GADGET?...

CHAPTER SEVEN: â€œWOWZERS! A CLUE!â€ Penny was about to head out for school on Wednesday morning. She was surprised at herself when she woke up at 5:00, two hours before she normally got up. Her first surprise was that she didnâ€™t feel like she did most days, when she got herself ready in a grudg...

RE: Mr. Video III

Coincidence, or knowing homage? On the one hand, it seems like a coincidence, but consider that *that* road was used when they could have shot just anywhere...

Sorry about the lack of progress, but I've been editing the story for a while. CHAPTER SIX: THE PERILS OF CELEBRITY The local news ran a story on Gadgetâ€™s exploits, but it wasnâ€™t until he saw himself mentioned on the next nightâ€™s episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson that he knew h...

Eh, I got nothing. It's been a bit dull in Evergreen Park.

I have to disagree with you there. He has, in fact, the most amazing superpower of all: an unlimited bank account.

Oh, I feel as old as I would if you started talking about Pogs, Tamagotchis, and the Macarena. In other words, reeeeeeeeally old.

Be sure to share your Thanksgiving events throughout the day or once it's all over! Have fun and enjoy your food and family! Had an uneventful Thanksgiving, but I helped out quite a bit this year by doing a quick run to Ultra Foods for two cans of broth and some Diet Pepsi (needed some or I was abo...

True, however M. Night Shamalan also said he was a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender and we all know what a great adaption that was. The difference there is that everything Shyamalan said to suggest his love of Avatar only showed his ignorance of what it was actually about. Not only that, but he had...

Wow, this must be the best thing I ever written. I could never tell when, oh of course, ha ha ha ha ha ha you don't ever reply to any of my chapters! I mean geesh, I'm sorry if you don't like my work but I can't improve my work if you don't reply. I'm not even really mad about this, it's just that,...

Now those freaks at PETA are attacking Super Mario? The NERVE of them!! :x There's a Mario-type game where you play as a cute chick (a literal one) in a red Mario cap, and you must battle robotic Goombas with Col. Sanders-looking faces (Mario's out with a sprained wrist he sustained while playing v...

Prime Evil

No, but that's not a knock on Mario. Okay, he isn't a superhero in the same way that Odysseus and Flash Gordon aren't superheroes...they're just ordinary men without special powers who nevertheless rise to the occasion and become truly extraordinary. Better still, he's a humble, blue-collar plumber,...

We should leave some of the original intro in though, maybe just the meteor flying in to frame and then the main title.

I'd say it just needs new narration. The thing about the way it's animated is, it looks just like an 8-bit video game.

CHAPTER FIVE: TRAINING DAY Two days after the surgery, John was finally declared well enough to go home. Brenda decided that now would be a good time to walk him through the changes he was about to face, and the best place to do this was at his house. The best thing she could doâ€”for her own sake ...

CHAPTER THREE: OFFICER DOWN NOTE: I know nothing about police radio jargon, so I simply have the characters say "Over" and things like that. Pending further research, of course. :) I also don't know anything about surgery (too young for ER , but this is comic book science, so just bear wi...

Just be sure to tell us--or show us--why it's noir. Part of the problem with the "darker and edgier" premise in any media is, it's never made entirely believable.

If you can make us believe that these characters would behave in this way, you'll succeed.

A word of advice to you all: I'm basing Metro City on Milwaukee. No particular reason; I was in Wisconsin over Labor Day, and I picked up a Milwaukee travel guide. I thought, "Gee, that would be a nice place to set my Gadget story." So there you have it! CHAPTER TWO: THE SECRET CONFERENCE ...

The mustached cop is named Mike, who incidentally is the same actor as the cop at the booking desk who says "Hey Mike, take these Marios around," and then the next scene we see the same guy escorting Mario and Luigi around. Mike reappears throughout the movie as various cops or maybe the ...

As far as Mario goes, I don't really know. If I had been the one to make the Dragonball movie (which was TERRIBLE) I'd have cast him as Frieza. You win the thread. That is all. :lol: I would've cast Drew Barrymore, m'self. Frieza definitely has a Drew Barrymore-ish thing going on with those lips, y...

Just remember: When the terrorists flew those planes into the World Trade Center they killed a lot of their fellow Muslims, thus defeating the purpose of the attack. Or not. I do believe that, in the case of 9/11, the "No True Scotsman"--or, in this case, "No True Muslim"--falla...

I think those are just propaganda posters. But then, Koopa never even seemed to want to try and even pretend to be a nice guy, even for his own gain (him pretending to be Larry Lazzard notwithstanding; he dropped that act very quickly, though), so him posing for friendly-looking propaganda posters ...

Pretty cool! I should really incorporate those into one of my drawings...

Troo dat, but it's eerie to think about two works that came out at around the same time, in close proximity to each other.

As you know, 1993 was the year of the video game adaptation: The kids who grew up with the NES and Sega Genesis were treated to two definitive adaptations on the big and small screens: Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) . It's interesting to note just how much the two properties share....

The funny thing is--what if there's a take of Dennis Hopper saying, "Bloober, de-evolve him now..." That, sah, would have meant paying him more, even for an unused take. I think $250,000 would be my limit for saying a line as painful as "Bloober, de-evolve him now." I think I've...

And now I make a shocking admission: I really don't know exactly what to do with MAD. Or Gadget and Brenda for that matter. Why do the Bradfords put him together? Under whose orders? Why does Gadget answer to the Metro City PD, but also have free license to travel the world, stopping Dr. Claw's sche...

Prime Evil

Remember, Simon is the cop; not the de-evolution technician. Going by the early scripts, we really have Wart and Bloober to take into account as Koopa's advisers/"brains." Uh... quoi ? Oh, this is based on Merrit Chauncey Mammal's thing [or else one of the earlier scripts], I take it...I'...

That is some damn good work there. The fact that you just happened to have the green overalls only makes it better. It is good to see the movie costumes get some love, even if I still think Mario's red suit should be just a hair darker. (I maintain that it should have been blue with red sleeves/pock...

I like what you're thinking and where you're coming from, but I'd also like to believe that the concept behind the movie is much smarter than archetypes. Archetypes are good for mythological tales of heroes, super-heroes and monsters, but Super Mario Bros. is (or should be) much more about its char...

The King might be a positive character now and was at least a more legitimate ruler than Koopa, but I see no reason to doubt the possibility of him being aware of a prison. He's the king. It's his job to mandate law and order throughout the land. Doing so doesn't necessarily make him a terrible per...

I think I know what to do with Penny, at long last. What I'm trying to shoot for is a deconstruction of the Spy Kids teen-superspy character. I like the idea that Penny's parents were secret agents who raised her well but regretted the time they spent away from her. They died right when she needed t...

Prime Evil

That's the Rebel's profile. I also changed the prison to being owned by the king since giving it to Koopa would just be overpowering him. Why is that bad? A prison doesn't seem like something the former King would have under his jurisdiction. No, I think you'd better keep it in Koopa's hands, becau...
