And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

I suppose one problem is that the Stallone film burned through some of the more iconic and 'straightforward' Dredd villains (Rico, the Angel Gang) and the Dark Judges are too extreme and weird to use in an introductory movie. The alternatives are people like Chopper (not technically a villain, just a rebellious kid), PJ Maybe (a 13-year-old serial killer who literally got away with murder until he was old enough for Dredd to beat the poo poo out of him with impunity), Judge Cal (who needs the horrible nature of Dredd's world to be set up before you see that his insane alternative is even worse), Orlok (who needs the political situation between the western and eastern Mega-Cities to be established) or America Jara (who shows up Dredd as a flat-out fascist monster).

So that leaves you with one-off weirdos like Call-Me-Kenneth, Dobey Queeg, Captain Skank, Father Earth and Barry Dreery (although I'd love to see 'The Game Show Show' done as a movie :haw: ), or doing a huge and insanely expensive epic like The Cursed Earth, The Judge Child or Block Mania/The Apocalypse War. I guess if you've only got a $40m budget, keeping it in one location with a new villain who fits it is about all you can do.

I was maybe 12 or so when the Stallone movie came out, and I don't really remember it all too well, but I played the hell out of the SNES game, and wondered why the heck there were these ghost-like Evil Judges (whom I later learned were the Dark Judges). They weren't in the movie; how could they be relevant to the game? Frankly, I'd like to see them in movie-form - how do you mean they're too extreme for a mature-rated feature film? (Might sound dick-ish, I'm honestly curious).
