Oh. I'm sorry.
 I'm so used to people snapping at me for being long-winded and using the "Thesis-Supporting Arguments-Conclusion and Summary" format, I guess I just expect it from everyone.I sincerely apologize for misreading you. In my own defense, I'm incredibly tired. |

Oh, well it’s all good.
I just had an awesome idea for Inspector Gadget. Live Action or Animated. Crossover with Dexter’s Laboratory. Perfect fit. He could team up with Dexter and get upgraded for some big mission. Penny and Deedee would obviously tag along and their really different personalities would make for some funny interaction. Also there should be a stand-alone Live Action Dexter’s Lab. Doesn’t matter if it started out as a cartoon. Seeing his lab, robots and Mandark would be so cool.

Speaking Dexter's Lab....Leo, what did you think of that show's Speed Racer parody?

I don't see a need for a live action inspector gadget movie but I also don't see any harm in it. It's meant for kids after all even if I don't think it'll quite get that audience, regardless we've had plenty of inspector gadget cartoons over the years all aimed at kids so it's an idea they keep revisiting.
I never did watch the live action movie, I was at that stage where I was "too old" to like something for kids like Inspector Gadget but still young enough to get happy meals at McDonalds I know I couldn't have been too old because I always had that left arm of inspector gadget that I got on the happy meal as a kid.As far as penny changing in other inspector gadget cartoons, well she is a teenager in other gadget cartoons and not a kid, so it's logical that her personality would change as she ages. As far as other live action cartoons that didn't work, I think Scooby Doo definitely works in live action, the first film was pretty good, second was a bit more for kids but not horrible, just kiddy and the tv movie films were ok. Garfield I remember the first movie being alright, second was fairly bad. Speed Racer was surprisingly ok, I wouldn't say it's the greatest but it was a cool movie, should've done better. Never interested in checking out the others. |

it makes for extremly un likeable characters. And Claw, went from being willing to kill kids and dogs to make his schemes work, to designing goofy websites of cats for a cheap laugh. Even Penny has entered the idiot category now.... ugh. Horrible series that could have been so much better. |

Anyway it’s basically crime solving. How can that not translate into live action? Sure Scooby and Shaggy are a bit goofy with their eating and being afraid but it’s typical comic relief. Even if they go the supernatural direction where the villain actually is a ghost or something that’s a whole genre too. It’s just some think if these live action adaptations don’t gain mass popularity it means they “bombed”. There’s no middle ground. They became famous as cartoons but if you remove that from the equation they’re still fun ideas and concepts. What if Scooby only turned into a cartoon after being a movie? There’s popular movies that could have been argued against if they were originally cartoons...Godzilla, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Back to the Future, Beetlejuice, Jurassic Park, Superhero, probably some comedies and horror. Definitely Chucky. I tried to pick ones that might have been viewed as too outlandish. Some actually did get cartoons.

I’ve seen you mention George Carlin before. I liked him too. I saw a lot of his specials on tv. No disrespect to him but I think as he got older his humor became more negative and cynical. I can see why you liked him. That’s NOT an insult by the way.
 As for the movies my point was cartoon or not there’s a lot of things that are technically unnecessary or “too dumb” but turned out very successful. A cool idea is a cool idea.

Most humor is observational; observe too much for too long, and inevitably you realize how backwards everything is and how much worse it gets by the day. By that point your choices are simply kill yourself or commit entirely to taking the piss out of everything. Nothing else makes sense. "Think about just how stupid the average person is. Then realize that most of them are even stupider than that!" "If you ask most people, they'll readily admit that the majority of people are really f*cking stupid. What's interesting is that not one of them will ever include themselves in that group." - George Carlin |

If you're going to reboot something, then do it on a film series that stunk and try to make it better. Also, make sure that both Gadget and Penny are not damsels-in-distress.
