Cookin' up stuff for Cubefall.

~plothands~

From damncompass:

What would your canon be like if part/some/all was written by someone else?

For example: If Joss Whedon wrote an episode of Warehouse 13, he would likely kill off Helena. Strong lady character, fan favourite, obviously she's toast.

If you don't know, post your canons, and people can give you ideas!

Haha, it's 0400 in the morning and I don't have a clue how to answer this DE.

A proper response might come later, but for now, I need to sleep.

My canons are, for those interested:

Medal of Honor 2010, Medal of Honor: Warfighter (for Voodoo)
Red Dead Redemption (for John Marston)
Legend of Korra (for Mako)
and Assassin's Creed III (for Connor Kenway)

[bjornwilde]

Hey, don't know if you've seen this but you should, a new short about Mako and Bolin's past.

[wanderlustlover]

Oooooh. So many different things then.

BBC Robin Hood (for Marian)
Hawaii Five-0 (for Steve)
Twilight (for Edward)
Supernatutal (for Jo)
Hunger Games (for Peeta)
Once Upon a Time (for Snow/Mary Margaret)
Haven (for Audrey)
X-Men (for Jean/Phoenix)

[lifethatisscratched]

If Hawaii Five-0 were written by David Simon and Ed Burns, Steve's constant disdain of politically tolerable police procedure would lead to the disbandment of the Five-0 task force. Each of the Five-0 task force members would go their separate ways and quickly become lost in the bureaucracy. Some would quit, frustrated by their inability to affect any change in a system that does not care for their personal welfare, and others would doggedly continue on, only to retire after decades of work as apathetic, soulless shells of the eager recruits they once were, their only success lying in escaping from the roles forced upon them by those above them. The Five-0 task force would quickly become yet another mistake swept under the rug, and the status quo would be maintained for years to come.

If Hunger Games were written by JK Rowling, the end of Mockingjay would be Katniss and Peeta cheerfully living their life, not affected by anything that happened. It would all be over! (Full disclosure, I prefer the ending of Mockingjay to the ending of Potter by a long shot. Actually when I read Mockingjay, my first reaction was "WHY DIDN'T POTTER END THIS WAY?!")

[sdelmonte]

Alex Knox, 1989 Batman film
James T. Kirk, original Trek canon
The Question, 1986-2011 DC Comics
Cyborg, first Teen Titans cartoon
Howard Stark, Marvel Cinematic Universe
Gibbs, PotC films

And it amazes me that I have only two pups that don't already appear in other continuities, and only one whose canon has not be restarted, retconned, rebooted or otherwise remade.

[damncompass]

Might as well throw mine in:

Warehouse 13 for Joshua and Helena
Ender's Game for Valentine
and I'm sure others will cover Les Mis better than I, although...

If Bob Fosse choreographed Les Miserables, you'd have Revolutionaries with jazz hands.

[kd7sov]

*has no clue*

Golden Sun (for Felix)
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (for Fluttershy)
Final Fantasy IV (for Kain)

[storybrooke]

Ahahaha, I have no brain but here's canon below, have at it!

Life on Mars (U.K. TV series)
Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire
Life (U.S. TV series)
Firefly
Pacific Rim
Teen Wolf (the MTV show, not the movie staring Michael J. Fox)
Sherlock Holmes (RDJ, Guy Ritchie-directed version)
Castle
Iron Man
X-Men: First Class

[damncompass]

I started trying to think about what Castle would be like with the Warehouse 13 writers, but all I ended up with was too many crossover ideas. Oops.

However, if it was a thing, Castle would probably get shot every fifth episode or so, and he'd never get together with Beckett, and eventually we'd find out that his father is actually some huge serial killer who has it out for Alexis.

[no_more_hiding]

X-Men: First Class, directed by John Hughes. The film is much more focused on the younger mutants and the emotional challenges they face. The split in the group is much more vague and the viewer is left wondering if Erik and Raven really aren't coming back.

[innerbrat]

I know you're not Pentecost. Are you Mako? If you're Mako I need to squeal at you about this flawless thread.

[storybrooke]

YES, 'tis me!

Awww, are you Dick?! Flawless thread is flawless. *____*

[daringyoungman]

Yep, that's me.

Pandimensional meetings I didn't know I needed!

[co_pilot]

Orphans with a very similar backstory unite!

No seriously they are great. When I bring grown-up Mako in they'll have to meet again.

[daringyoungman]

No joke, I'm actually considering bringing in grown-up Dick when this happens.

[storybrooke]

Yessssss.

[ceitfianna]

Who are you playing from Teen Wolf?

Teen Wolf as done by Bryan Fuller would have more body horror, Stiles would be even more of a main character since his character is the kind Bryan Fuller loves. Also it would be a much brighter show.

[wolfsbaned]

The honorable Scott McCall!

[ceitfianna]

Yay for Scott! I look forward to seeing him around.

[seat_five_girl]

Pacific Rim, by Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener.

There are more directed energy weapons and instead of focusing on any of the pilots, it follows the scientists. (Occasional scenes of both the pilots and the support crews are encouraged though.) Lots of the rest look the same though. (I think? My schedule has not allowed me to go to the movies recently. And this week is the local anime convention. So.)

[bjornwilde]

Well my comic peeps are constantly getting new writers so I am skipping them for this one. I'm also about to leave for work so I will throw out:
The Watch Series, Anton Gorodetsky
The Kate Daniels series, Andrea Nash
Heroes of Olympus/Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace

And for Hank I'll just watch storybrooke's entry. = ]

[bjornwilde]

OK, so in the car my brain decided to fancast the writers/directors for my comic pup's movies so you get that...
For Quinlan Vos we get a smuggler centric film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino which turns out to be the only film in the Star Wars franchise to be rated R.

Jessica Drew gets a screenplay written by either Marjorie Liu or Greg Rucha and it is a very noir private eye type of film. The director is Guillermo del Toro.

The Fantastic Four gets to be directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet but I am not sure who writes the screenplay, maybe J. Michael Straczynski. It is heavy on the sci fi and humans standing up to the more technologically advance galaxy.

Bonus answer: The Doctor Strange movie is also written by JMS who had this neat idea that Strange fights the dark forces no other hero can even conceive off. He is the hero facing off against the Lovecraftian horrors which would drive those unprepared insane. Director is Terry Gilliam.

[not_my_sandbox]

Hmm...

Runescape as run by Blizzard: Less thought and effort spent on eliminating the grindy aspects of the game, less hand wringing about consistent lore, the gameworld would be more realistically scaled instead of being representational so that the mountains would actually be tall mountains, the oceans wouldn't just be wide rivers (I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM MY BACKYARD!) and the Kharidian desert and many other features would be HUGE. But the more realistic scale would make mounts a sensible thing. Also, no way in hell are you getting weekly updates, are you completely mad?
More egregious examples of boobplate and magical 'armor' for female characters.

Runescape run by a Korean company: Everything is free to play, everything good is pay to win. No updates ever.
Boobplate and magical armor? Even cheesier! Cheesecake everywhere.

Runescape run by Valve: Runescape 3 is not a thing. Even more buyable cosmetic items than Jagex is cranking into the game presently. But hey, at least boobplate and magical armor aren't a thing except when comedy calls for it.

[leeshajoy]

Half-Life
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Wreck-It Ralph
Coraline

[hecu_marine]

If Half-Life were written by Bioware the combat and ammo systems would have changed several times between HL 1, HL 2 and the episodes, Alyx and Judith Mossman would have both been companions at some point along the way who flirted with Gordon to greater or lesser degree, and the players would have found a dummied out, incomplete section of code where it was possible for Barney to very bashfully but very nicely indicate that the Suppression Field wasn't doing a whole lot to kill his interest in Gordon. They would then tell the fans that they could either have an active Barney romance subplot option or a decently satisfying HL 3, but that they only had enough writers to do one or the other, so make up their minds and don't whine about it.

[innerbrat]

Birds of Prey
Gotham Central
Leonardo
Claymore
Legend of Korra
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Batman
Pirates of the Caribbean
Young Justice
Fray

[ceitfianna]

Hm, I'm not going to put Robin Hood or Greek mythology since my canon is a melding of various ones.

X-Men: First Class
3:10 to Yuma
The Abhorsen Chronicles
Discworld
Becoming Jane
Chronicles of Narnia
The Pirates of Penzance

[igetthatalot]

Ghostbusters
Dragon Age
Mass Effect
Team Fortress 2
Fallout

Other people have already asked for Pacific Rim and Half-Life, and frankly I don't think luchador movies need to be produced some other way. They wouldn't be lucha movies then.
