Aren't some of the original cast members dead?
The 2020 Rugrats reboot stars Susie as the new main character, who gets in trouble when Angelica has an evil white corporation steal her 1st grade science fair project that just happened to be the cure for cancer! Now Tommy and the gang must fight white, cishet capitalism with his lovable friends Chuckie, Jill, and Lil! (Note: Phil has been retconned to be a transgender girl, Jill, after he accidentally wore Lil's dress and liked it)Watch Susie become even more of a bland cardboard cutout.
They're just going to ride the nostalgia bandwagon to cover up the fact that they're out of ideas.
Rugrats was one of the most over-rated Nickelodeon show of all time. That and Hey Arnold.
Rugrats felt very precarious as-is, even for a 90's cartoon where pretty much anything goes. I always felt a little wrong watching babies shove things into their diapers, even as a child myself. The writing and humor were great, but the premise was very off. I absolutely cannot imagine it working outside of it's original run. If I were employed at Nick I'd run screaming from the project because I know I'd be called a pedophile from even being a lowly grunt on the project. It really was a product of it's time and it should stay that way, for many, many reasons.
There is no way to make a live action Rugrats movie without it turning out like a third Baby Geniuses movie.
Theres a third movie?
Jesus christ
Pleace your bets: will the live action movie go the "live-action grown-ups, CGI babies" route or the "live action babies but their mouths move when they talk" route?
Personally I'm hoping for the former because that would be horrifying whereas the latter would just be another baby geniuses.
As a Rugrats oldfag I don't want to watch that movie again either. The series needed to be put out of it's misery the moment they added a real baby to the cast.There already was a Rugrats movie in the late 90s. Watch that one instead of this.
Fuck that, Duckman either wouldn't make it through development in [Current year] or would be so neutered it may as well be another property all together.If they're planning on rebooting/restarting anything made by Gabor Csupo, I'd prefer Duckman with the original cast.
I'm going real babies, but with 'Alita battle angel' style animation overlaid on their heads for some real horror.New Pleace your bets: will the live action movie go the "live-action grown-ups, CGI babies" route or the "live action babies but their mouths move when they talk" route?
If they're planning on rebooting/restarting anything made by Gabor Csupo, I'd prefer Duckman with the original cast. But then again, this is clearly a cynical cash grab for nostalgic millennials.
