Y’know what, sure, especially if the girl interrupts the swordfights instead of the romance. You’d get glimpses of exceptional swashbuckling combat, cut short by “yeah okay I get it, who won.” This serves two purposes.
One: it lets some action scenes get even more ridiculous, like how Planet Terror has “missing reels” before cutting to a shocking and hilarious aftermath. Like when Wesley runs off from an unconscious Inigo, there’s a boulder that’s been diagonally sliced and slid down to the floor. Things that would be kind of stupid to actually show, but are perfectly safe to imply.
Two: it leaves those scenes as a reason for new audience to go back and watch the original.
Judd Nelsoon played the principal in a horror film based on The Breakfast Club in 2012. I got to see a screening of it at LA Comikaze, and it was great fun.
“Hitler liking muppets is a valid argument against someone who says he hates them” ? Next time you wonder why no one talks to you irl remember this, fucking weirdo
You didnt even try to explain anything u just said hitler likes them, I’m sure it’s a great idiom if you cant explain it though, try it irl too, if someone tells you they dont like spongebob tell them hitler would like it, then tell me their reaction. I’ll be waiting
I feel like Muppet adaptations work best when the source material is serious enough to riff on it, and TPB is inherently very light and fun. I would definitely watch a Fred Savage edition.
Might be difficult having Sanderson’s work getting adapted. He’s going to insist that he has full control of the story. Which is a good thing, but most Hollywood writers “wanted to make their own story” as evidenced in numerous adaptations, e.g. Witcher, Wheel of Time (which Sanderson’s advice got ignored when he started criticizing the show runner’s decision), and many more.
I just hope he gets enough money to produce adaptations of his work by himself.
