Pop Culture Oneshot Scenarios

Oh one more thing @mtsgf, does Lionsgate still buyout Artisan-FHE in your timeline. If they do, they still have the home video rights to TMNT 1987, all the various Barbie fairy tales films, and Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Artisan was bought by RCA in 2002. The home video rights to TMNT 1987 belong to Columbia, the rest belongs to RCA.

    • Inspector Gadget
  • RCA (RKO Radio Pictures-NBC):
    • The Mask
    • Harry Potter

    • Nintendo film and tv shows
    • Pokémon

@mtsgf , I really thought of Venevisión International when I read the section under Televisa Communications Inc. instead of RCTV International Productions.
Venevision had an agreement with Televisa since 1986, but in 1995, when UPBC premiere Univision signed an agreement with Venevision, so Televisa sought an alliance with RCTV.
 
Misc. TV Tropes examples

Franchise Original Sin

  • For many, Faraefold was considered the point where Disney's "Villain POV" remakes went wrong. In large part because it humanized a villain who was considered by many one of the most evil in Disney's history. In truth though, these criticisms could also be applied to the more iconic Gaston and Frollo. However, the former was considered forgivable because of several factors. For starters, Gaston was portrayed by Stefan Karl Steffanson, whose international career had just begun with the Memetic Mutation he enjoyed via Robbie Rotten; what also helped was that the film was explicitly meant to be a Camp Deconstructive Parody of the villain Perspective Flip that had dominated musicals for years at that point. Frollo got noticeably more eyebrows due to Frollo being a more monstrous villain, but that was largely forgiven because not only was his performance captured brilliantly by Hugh Jackman, but also because it fit in with the film's intentions of being Truer to the Text than the 1996 version. However, Faraefold was considered by many the tipping point because of how it pushed the unfitting Mike Myers in the role, tried to outright excuse his monstrous actions in The Snow Queen, thus sinking the idea of extending the remake series to villains like Hades, Maleficent, and Ursula.
  • Rare's tendency to Follow The Leader was always present from day one. For instance, Donkey Kong Country was modeled after Super Mario World, Diddy Kong Racing was modeled after Mario Kart, Banjo-Kazooie was modeled after Super Mario Ultra, so on. Ever before joining Nintendo, Battletoads was their attempt to cash in on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze. The difference in those cases largely stems from how these games still had their own degree of invention and creativity on Rare's part. However, this would cause issues with the game Team Ultimate, which was their obvious attempt to cash in on the growing popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.n
My Real Daddy
  • Nobody would dare deny Shigeru Miyamoto being the creator of Super Mario Bros. However, most people will argue that the credit for making the series what it's been since the PlayStation should go to Yoshiaki Koizumi. His fans often cite the introduction of major pieces of lore into the series, such as the character of Prince Cream, reviving popular villains like Tatanga and Wart, the details on how Mario and Luigi arrived from Brooklyn, and Princess Daisy being one of the four de-facto playable characters (Mario, Luigi, and Peach being the others).
  • Many will argue day after day about who deserves the most credit for making MGM Animation into the juggernaut it is today. Those who point to Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera cite them leading MGM into being the first studio to produce high-quality TV animation. Whereas those who credit Gene Deitch cite many of the Animation Department's first, and best, films being his creations. Overall, it is a staunchly debated topic that could easily take up entire essays.
OOC: The latter MGM idea is based loosely on the ideas of @NoName.

Here's a prompt based off of Avatar the Last Airbender and Captain Planet:

Fire, Heart, Earth, Air, Water, and whatever the fuck Australia is supposed to be.
Long ago, these guys lived in harmony. But then everything changed because it turns out the Firebenders and Airbenders hate eachother like Dogs hate Cats, and then shit started to get real.
Only one of the other nations could put an end to this. But the Earthbenders were too poor to do anything, the Heartbenders were too busy partying (their ability is mind manipulation by the way), The Waterbenders were too busy profiting off of the conflict like the Capitalist pigs they were, and Australia was too busy trying to figure out what it was.
1000 years have passed and the war continues on the internet, and now the battlefields have gone from epic fields of honor to fights over things like beaches or Parking lots. But then, a bunch of crackheads on the internet said: "Hey! What if there was an OP boi who could bend all of da elements?" So now, the only way we can end the war is to find this OP person.
The Fire Nation and Air Nation both want him to win the war for them, the Earthbenders want him to bring them into relevance, The Waterbenders want to sell him for profit to whichever side gives the best price, the Australians want them to help solve their identity crisis, and the Heartbenders couldn't care less about what's happening.
"But I believe that this guy could save the world.
 
Misc. Bits from Blameitonjorge: Top 15 Lost/Interesting Pieces of Mario Media
Since its original conception in 1981 as Donkey Kong, Nintendo's Super Mario Bros flagship series of video games has expanded into more and more ambitious projects. Ranging from cancelled episodes of various animated series, to radically different betas for games that were finished, here are the Top 15 Lost Pieces of Mario Media.

#15: "Princess Toadstool" Material in West
In Japan, Princess Peach was already referred as by that name. However, Nintendo of America had proposed renaming the character "Princess Toadstool" due to the Peach name being considered irrelevant with the Mushroom motif. Unlike the idea of Mario and Luigi being from Brooklyn though, this idea was shot down rather quickly. Before this was shot down however, an instruction manual of the original game featuring this name was created. Though that was soon discontinued and replaced with manual featuring the "Peach" name.

#6: Prince Cream's Theme
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, we are given a story book about the character of Prince Cream. Much like one about the character of Rosalina in the first game, said book explains the not too happy story of the character. In this case, Prince Cream, who we learn via this story is the son of Rosalina. Originally, Koji Kondo composed the music for these segments as a simple piece using only a xylophone and harp. However, Yoshiaki Koizumi, the game's producer, and instead had Koizumi rework it into the final version [1]. Since the original release of the game, the theme has not re-emerged in any form. Although some speculate that it will appear at some point on a soundtrack album.

#3: Mary Kay Bergman as Prince Cream
The character Prince Cream made his debut in the 1999 title Super Mario Ultra 2, where he was one of the few characters with a substantial speaking role. In order to provide his voice, Nintendo originally hired Mary Kay Bergman. However, these recordings were later replaced with those of an unknown child actor, who went uncredited due to Bergman still being credited. This unknown actor would reprise the role in early builds for Super Mario Inc on the GameCube, but remained anonymous.

[1] The theme in the final game in question.

You can do what mexican do, Peach is the name, Toadstool is the surname.
 
I'd like to see a 'Reverse Mario' where the plumber is the bad guy kidnapping Heroic Bowser's girlfriend partner all the time...

Blazing Wings - The War of the Three Houses


Blazing Wings - The War of the Three Houses

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Developer: Factor 5, Intelligent Systems
Publisher: Nintendo

Blazing Wings - The War of the Three Houses is a arcade flight action role-playing game developed by Factor 5, Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

Story

The game takes place on the continent of Fódlan. The landmass is divided into three rival nations who are now at peace: the Adrestian Empire to the southwest, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus to the north, and the Leicester Alliance to the east. At the center of the continent is the Garreg Mach Monastery, a neutral territory home to both the Church of Seiros and the Officers Academy. The game's "Three Houses" refer to the three boarding houses of the flight academy, the Black Eagles, the Blue Lions, and the Golden Deer, each populated with flight students from the three main nations. The game is set during two time periods. The first begins in Imperial Year 1940, during the characters' time as students at the Officers Academy. The story then jumps five years later to the time of a promised reunion between flight students, only for the three nations to now be seemingly at war with each other.

Gameplay

The flight model in Blazing Wings feels similar to Ubisoft's Blazing Angels, IR Gurus' Heroes of the Pacific, Bandai Namco's Sky Crawlers and GUST's My Flight Story with some minor changes. As players progress through the game, they earn new planes, including fighters, attackers, and bombers. Early in the game the player only has the most basic fighters; like the Gloster Gladiator and the Polikarpov I-16. Players can purchase aircraft, and tuning parts within the tree by spending MRP (Military Result Points), an in-game currency; that can be earned by completing campaign missions or side-missions.

Characters

Playable Characters

Although the player is free to choose any plane for Byleth and the flight students on each houses, they fly their canonical aircraft.
Black Eagles
Blue Lions
Golden Deers
Ashen Wolves
Church of Seiros
Adversaries
Aircraft

Blazing Wings features a huge ton of playable aircraft. To purchase aircraft for Byleth, the player has to buy them by expending credits in the Aircraft Tree. Credits are earned by destroying hostile or neutral ("yellow") targets. The Gloster Gladiator, Polikarpov I-153, Heinkel He 112, Mitsubishi A5M and the Curtiss P-36 Hawk are available from the start. In addition to a machinegun and cannon, each plane is equipped with a limited number of special weapons, specialized against either ground or air targets.

Super Mario Inc: 2001 E3 Trailer

The video opens to an Inca-like village atop a large range of mountains. For the entire trailer, an Inca-style song with a drum and panflute plays in the background. As we see this, a voiceover of Lord Ixchel of Wayra, the Lord of this province, plays.

Lord Ixchel of Wayra (Maurice LaMarche): The young prince of our Fungaria has seen a preview of things to come, Mario. Things that are... unpleasant.

Prince Cream, a child with strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and a royal blue outfit, stares dumbfounded at Mouser, who is piloting a large Mecha-Birdo. A flash of lightning is shown, and viewers can make out the shape of Wart.

Further scenes of Wart are present.

Lord Imajeen (Phil LaMarr): I think I remember that guy!

Mario is shown watching as several Goombas rush to attack him. Another voice over plays.

Wart (Tony Jay): Soon, Mario. You will pay the full price for my defeat.

Luigi is shown fighting off some Hammer Bros. and a few shy guys piloting a tank. Unfortunately, he is quickly taken down by a hammer, but quickly gets back up fighting again.

Wart: All you have...

Princess Daisy jumps off of a tricyclyde, but it quickly gets up. As it does so, we get a better look at Daisy. We can see now that she has been redesigned since the PlayStation era. Her hair is now a brighter shade of red, she now has a few visible freckles on her face, and her eyes are now a piercing green.

Princess Daisy (Grey DeLisle): So, you don't want to die, do you?

Cut to Daisy in some caverns fighting enemies.

Wart: Will be confiscated.

Princess Peach is transformed into a dragon through what is clearly an agonizing process, followed by a scene of Mario fighting dragon Peach. Luigi is seen fighting some Hammer Bros again, Princess Peach is fluttering down from a hillside with her umbrella, Princess Daisy is using her double jump to climb up a tree, and Prince Cream is running over gaps and a rocky landscape, evading some Phantos.

SUPER MARIO INC: ONLY ON THE GAMECUBE
 
So I've been thinking, in the same vein as Sillof's works for alt-Star Wars Settings (WW2, Medieval, Steampunk, Rebels set in the American Revolution, etc) does anyone here have any good ideas for alternative settings for Jedi Fallen Order?
 
Avatar: Fallen Order

Avatar Fallen Order is a prequel video game to Avatar: The Last Airbender. The game is about an Airbender named Nima, a young Air Nomad who used to live in the Northern Air Temple. Unfortunately, when Sozin's comet arrived, the Fire Nation attacked and killed everyone he knew, leaving him as the only survivor(1). The game starts 10 years later. Nima was never able to get his tattoos, allowing him to blend in more easily than his brethren. Now 22, Nima continues a nomadic lifestyle as the Fire Nation's early years of Expansion have begun. Unable to use his bending and wracked with Survivors Guilt, Nima was unable to make many friends in this harsh new world, but finds a place along side the non-benders, whom everyone assumes him to be.

Despite the inherent danger, Nima finds himself working in a Shipyard in the Fire Nation Colonies, befriending the Earth Kingdom Laborers who are forced to work there, building Ships that will serve the war machine. Unfortunately, during a work accident, Nima accidentally Airbends to save a friend, assuming he wouldn't be seen by any Fire Nation Soldiers. Unfortunately, Nima and his workmates are reported and interrogated by a member of Sozin's Hunters, an elite team of Firebenders who are trained for one goal: To hunt the Avatar. Unfortunately for Nima, he happens to be the right age and an Airbender, and he is forced to go on the run across the Avatar World, making friends and enemies, and evading the Hunters along the way. With the Fire Nation constantly expanding, Nima must constantly be on the run, knowing that he is most likely the last of the Air Nomads.

The game is filled with nods and references to The Last Airbender, such as being able to see the Southern Air Temple and see the same locations recreated, along with Ba Sing Se and the Si-Wong Desert.

(1) I refuse to believe that all the Airbenders were wiped out in one stroke. I do believe all of them being dead by Aang's time, but not all at once.
 
What If... No XBox?

What might have happened if Microsoft had chosen not to go into the Console market in 1998 and developed the software for the Sony Dreamcast instead?

Perhaps they go heavily into mobiles and tablets instead?

Effect on gaming and computing in general?
