I'm looking forward to it. Unlike everything else in the HB range, it doesn't seem to have interesting creatives on the surface (unlike Prez's Mark Russell on Flintstones), but it's got a Mad Max: Fury Road production designer working on it. Could be the right kind of bad idea. The Johnny Quest comic starts this week and looks so perfect for Jeff Parker, Doc Shaner and Jordie Bellaire. I'm pumped. Anyone wanna follow the comics in their own thread, outside of DCs? You probably wouldn't have to navigate around posts about Red Hood.

Travis343 posted:Well the thing is that DC Comics was not involved with any of those. Well, yeah. But I'm just saying that weird/atonal reboots of established characters have not only worked, but worked unbelievably well to critical acclaim. I mean, if you want to go with DC Comics exclusively Suicide Squad and TDKR both did the exact same things, and one of those was even one of the Big Two Supers. The point is, I'm saying it's possible. the creative team gives me pause, sure, but at the end of the day if Wacky Races: Fury Road sucks, what brand does this dirty? A cartoon nobody's given a poo poo about for like forty loving years? Oh darn.

Soonmot posted:By all means, update it, but to turn into grimdark Death Race bullshit is missing the point. I think the main inspiration, being that the Fury Road car designer is the designer of the vehicles in the Wacky Races reboot, is "Fury Road meets Wacky Races". And considering that Fury Road could easily be described as a post-apocalyptic Wacky Races I don't really see what the conceptual problem is here.

Now I kinda want a cut of Fury Road with the announcer from Wacky Races cutting in every so often to comment on the action: "Oh no! Here comes Immortan Joe in his Galloping Gigahorse, hot on the tail of Furiosa's Wondrous War Wagon! She and her bevy of beautiful brides better buckle up! But oh no, what's that Noxious Nux up to now? After losing his Pole Cat Coupe, he stashed away on Furiosa's riding rig. Does he really think this will get him back into Joe's good graces?" "It's worth a try! Maybe this time he'll witness me!" "What'll that wacky warboy want next?"

Archie vs. Punisher was twenty two years ago, was a moderately well received one-shot that mostly got negative pre-release hype because it was the era of stupid crossovers and trying to make 'nice' characters into 'extreme violent douchebags' but the gimmick was literally "ha ha, Punisher is grim and gritty, but Riverdale is nice folks!" It (and Afterlife with Archie/Sabrina) work to the extent they do because they're wholesome nice characters (with the added bonus of being iconic and instantly recognizable) who are then contrasted with something weird and dark. They're fish out of water stories, which work when you've got two things easily contrasted (Archie/Punisher, Archie/Zombies, Country Mouse/City Mouse, Prince/Pauper, Connecticut Yankee/King Arthur's Court, 1985 kid in 1955, two genial stoners in a crime heist, whatever) in Wacky Races you have.. some people in a Mad Max apocalypse. Is Muttley going to laugh a lot? Is uh... sorry, I have no idea who any of the other characters are. They're not iconic, they're barely recognizable as the same characters, and they're not fish out of water, they're just straight up "some characters in the Mad Max apocalypse". Which is fine when it's called Mad Max, and may be good in this case, but it certainly doesn't sound promising. "Mad Max, but from less talented people" basically. I mean, why not do a remake of Secret Squirrel that's basically a remake of Nightcrawler? Don't judge, people enjoyed Mini-Marvels! Or hot on the heels of Gotham Academy, a mature-readers look at the harrowing torture the Hair Bear Bunch undergo when they're sent to a CIA black site. Will they ever escape from the operative known only as THE RANGER? Come on, you thought Thors was going to be bad too!

Wacky Races has nothing in common with Speed Racer except being about racing and was literally airing at the same time Speed Racer was and was more inspired by movies at the time than anything else. A modern Wacky Races would more sensibly borrow from something like Fast and the Furious, not Mad Max, but it wouldn't be DC if they didn't miss the point.

Honestly, if you wanted to go for a dark reboot, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines would be the way to go. The tale of a poor child courier, trapped behind enemy lines, desperate to keep his plane operational by any means necessary, pursued by a mad Nazi pilot and his increasingly deranged inventions, his constantly snickering hound, his cowardly yet omnipresent sidekicks... I'm generally not a fan of slapstick done by people who's approach to slapstick involves "stuff in as much blood and gore as you can". This style humor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUQg07Jf9XM doesn't really work if he's not actually flat, and bantering sarcastically with the announcer. You can argue that it doesn't work at all and it's terribly cheesy, which, fair enough, but I doubt adding in cracked ribs, exposed vertebrae, and buckets of blood would make it funnier. That it's being written by Ken Pontiac of Happy Tree Friends fame doesn't inspire confidence that this isn't the route they're going, but he's also done more tame work (LazyTown, Bump in the Night), so who knows? If they nail the narration and don't try and turn Dick into Lobo, it could be its own weird thing.
