Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Hmm. I can very much see your point that Wonka works best as 'Huh?'. However, I really liked the backstory in that film. It seemed to make sense, while being a bit silly, while leaving enough unexplained that it was still mysterious.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Actually I found elements of the old one far more creepy. Nonchalantly singing as something ominious happens to a child in a brightly colored and friendly atmosphere while everyone else just looks at you like you deserve it. Its like reading the monkie's paw all over again

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Perhaps, but the deliberately surreal environments and decorations there were a big part of pushing the old movie over the top from 'creepy and ominous' to 'bad drug trip'; past a certain point, it was too bizarre to take seriously anymore. In the remake, large portions of the factory had a sort of cold sterility to them, like a research lab - against that bleakness, Wonka's insanity is more easily apparent and more disturbing.
I shudder to think what Gene Wilder would have been capable of in Depp's place with the modern art direction, visuals, and special effects.NOW COMPLETE: Let's Play Starcraft II Trilogy:

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
I'm going with zombies, myself, or at least something in the horror/slasher genre.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
In the real world of the Hypnotoads & Hyperchickens universe, of course, Futurama doesn't exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as suicide booths) do, albeit modified by the lack of Futurama:
Billy West is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in the first Futurama movie.Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reads exactly like a Roald Dahl work and even has touches that he often included in his work like the recipe for fudge at the end of the book. While it is a children's book, there's really nothing at all of Ian Fleming in it from what I see. If anything, it seems like that Dahl either took a major role in editing it or just wrote the entire book for Fleming in the first place.
Far as You Only Live Twice goes, the film basically used the name of the book, a few characters, and some locations, but everything else was Roald Dahl.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
I like the comparsion of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory to the Tomb of Horrors.
A father taken by time, a brother dead by my own hand.
With this work behold my grief, in Stone and shifting sand.

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
I'd make a Mario and/or Godfather joke but... no. Okay, how long are they going to drag that joke out? Or will they honestly stick with it?

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
Man, I had to reread the first Han panel three times to fully grasp what was happening. I think they're gonna keep it. Which will be AWESOME, especially of they spam the comic with Solo Smiles

Re: Darths And Droids 2: Should've Gone to Naboo
...I...I did not see this coming. Not only did the strip itself make me laugh, but the entry beneath the strip about characters from Sicily made me laugh (I'm 1/4th Italian, and my Italian ancestors lived in Sicily)

I like the look on Leia's face - you can't tell whether she's resigned or being deadpan sarcastic.
