Exactly where Reboot should go now I can't say for sure, I like the Webcomic for bringing back the Codemasters, but I don't think it did them enough justice. It seems to me like there society has a lot of untapped potential.
While we're trying to figure out what this movie should be lets just start at square one. Whatever reinvention happens to Reboot I think we can all agree it MUST conclude the cliffhanger from season 4 (and not by just awkwardly brushing aside Megabyte at the begining and moving on to a new threat)
I would entertain a graphic novel. Softcover/Limited Hardcover 128 pages. Written by the original creators to tell their final story. The Hunt is no-ones story to tell apart from Gavin, Ian and Phils. They're the only ones who can do it justice and the only ones I trust to tell it right.
If cash permits, instead of comic artwork go for CGI artwork... a full commission job... and give them access to the RainMakers hardware and original models so it can be done properly.
I would buy it.... and so would everyone else here.
I would LOVE to see the Hunt done as a movie... but I have to grit my teeth and face the reality of that's just not going to happen. But I still hold out that logic will prevail and they'll go for a graphic novel as a viable solution.
Well i dont believe it has to be remade be be more grittier and darker
I mean they are still running TMNT and transformers (givin they have always had a huge fanbase)
I believe it just needs a revamp of visuals (keeping the same style) and a uprgrade of terminology + a slight change in storyline would do it, do anything too drastic to the show and i believe the show would lose itself.
I think that the Hunt is a good idea, but we cannot do it... YET!
What I think should happen is that they use this movie to test the waters, and then get Gavin, Ian, and Phil to make The Hunt depending on the sucess of both the Movie and Boxset.
I TOTALLY agree on the whole maturity thing! Matrix should be in this film, and if it goes back to the Series 1 tone, you couldn't have Matrix there (unless you heavily alter his character, which would be VERY VERY BAD!)
I totally agree with you on releasing the boxset. I think they should remake it but let it lead up to the hunt. they cant continue the hunt because the people who used to watch reboot have now grown and you cant draw new fans with a contuining story because they wont know the past of the hunt. If they do remake it I think they should include all the technology thats been found since the 90s and include a side story about them.
Heres what needs to happen. We need one more feature length to finish it off...No cliffhanger endings.
Then yes your right...a reboot...of reboot. A battlestar galacticaesque reboot. I'm not talking 'The User' as GOD but more of a nitty gritty Reboot. Lets face it the kids who loved this have all grown up. most of us have had sex and now we deserve something more than black and white morality.
The one thing that absolutely has to change is that now that people know what most of the words in the original mean we cant have the web being evil, pixels being acid etc. Somehow things have to be as close to terminology as well. That and games should really be played more than once as most users tend to play a game more than once.
Last but not of course least....Absolutely no TRON user coming into the CPU.
Also my only possible thought for explaining the intelligence of sprites from old comps is to set this in the future with quantum computers or something.
quick shout about the Star Trek comment. I know they said it's a Reboot but technically it still fits into canon trek due to the time travel paradox. technically both versions of star trek history will perpetually take turns over and over. Very star trek if you think about it.
I would think that, if ReBoot were being rebooted for the 2000's, we'd have to include all of the new technology that has been invented since the 90's.
Think of it this way: Where could you find Bob now? In your iPhone? Your NetBook? Your BlackBerry? Heck, what about your GPS?! There are literally a gajillion new worlds that have been created since then, and in as many languages as the world has.
Let's not forget about the different operating systems, too! Windoze, Mac OS, Linux, etc, etc... the list really goes on. Are there different branches of guardians for those OSes? Can they or have they ever communicated with each other?
I could see it going a wee-bit live-action, for data that flows to and from different devices. It would also be funny to see people's (aka us) reactions to the various goings on. I wouldn't introduce any "funny business" of introducing some new, lame live-action character that interacts with all of our favourite sprites, though. *whew!*
As long as the characters and city are the same, not necessarily in looks but in name. Then anything else is alright.
Just as long as it doesn't look like something from Tron. That might fit the look of a nation wide networking but not for personal computers which is what i'm guessing Maingrame is. Personal computers would have more of a more lively and home-like touch. Mainframe is pretty much just that. You can change the entire look of the city and it will still be Mainframe so long as the characters are the ones we know and love personality wise. Would hope for the voice but I know that's a bit of a stretch.
Now there are a few things I might suggest for updating and that't to update the terminology used. Kids Sector for one I remember being a throwback to Windows 95's kids space. Now we're useing Windows XP and even Vista (with all of vistas program issues.) I would think that the User of mainframe would eventually want to update their OS, wouldn't they?
OK maybe I didn't think that all the way through but there is a character limit on how much we can type so I had to paraphrase a lot. As long as the characters we know are still intact as we remember them then little else about the reboot world matters to me. I mean Mainframe as far as I understood it was their representation of what the operating system looked like. And the guardians as I understood it were like the anti-virus program that we commonly download into our computers every day. Most of these terms are now common place unlike what they were when reboot came out. most ten yer olds even know what a mainframe is. Seriously, what kids know these days scares me.
I would like to see 1 of 2 things. Either a continuation or a spinoff. Don't reboot it like BSG - I hated the ending of that show.
Continue with the cliffhanger. Then make new episodes or lost episodes. The new episodes can be a computer upgrade or city repair after the system crash. The lost episodes could be filler episodes like what happened on the twin city or after the season 3 musical.
As for the spinoff, it could be a prequel like the Binome series that was proposed or it could any number of suggested sequels.
Amen anamolie! I loathed BSG by the middle and snubbed it completely by the end. I thought it was too much taken over by fanboys in control of the script and felt it turning into fanfiction. I also thought they tried to tap too much into nitty gritty drama and over sexed everything to distract from the plot meandering all over the place. >:(
If ReBoot goes the way of BSG...I'm going to have to have words with Rainmaker.
if megabyte was about to take over my computer as a user i would shut it down and reboot in safe made and reformat :P end of story
and reboot ReBoot :) i would keep the same files (characters) and the same hard drive setup (the city) maybe even get some new updates like that data compression unit or a quantum business network maximizer that Dot wanted ;) just what you were thinking im sure
Yeah, agree. Mainframe would have to get those updates that the sprites were begging for. However, they'd have to keep some things the same, and update others. *nodnod*
I would love to see a new adventure. It has been slipping my mind all night, but there was a CGI show Mainframe was about to release before the conversion into Rainmaker. I think it was called Binomes. Regardless of it being a kids show, it was still the same 1s and 0s I grew up with.
I also heard about Binombs but you are deffinatly right in order for the movie project to ever get off the ground and to be a success as i hope it will be they need to grab new audiences
