Sabre Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The Book of Exodus, my friend. I'll stick with the verified documents myself. What about Studio Ghibli? I've seen some of there work. Was rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Well, I still think Sunrise should do a Star Fox anime TV series/feature film. We all hate 4Kids, and they're pretty much washed up now that the Pokemon anime and movies are under a new license. Viz Media doesn't sound so hot. DiC Entertainment rarely does movies, and they have too many G rated shows. Gonzo's only anime film so far is Afro Samurai, and that movie I think is direct-to-video, and it's only true selling point is Samuel L. Jackson playing the main character. By the way, i haven't seen any of Studio Ghibli's films, although I saw about 3 minutes of "Castle in the Sky", and I here "The Cat Returns" Did really good.

Drasiana Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 What the---where'd my post go? Anyhow, as it HAD SAID; Yes, Studio Ghibli does do good in the US market; Spirited Away won an academy award, I believe. But there is no possible way I can see them doing a Star Fox movie. Also, now that I look at previous Star Fox art styles, I definately can't see it being in a typical anime style. Both Benimaru Itoh's comic and Goodbye, Beloved Falco have different styles, and the former was quite obviously America-inspired. Even in the games, the characters have eyes and features more akin to Disney or something else of the sort. I've also heard that Star Fox does a lot better in North America than it does in Japan, so perhaps an American company would take it up? Probably not Disney/Pixar, of course, but maybe the guys that did Beowulf, or another lesser-known company; if we're lucky, perhaps even Dreamworks would consider it. (And don't be all OMG, NUU, DREAMWORKS IS KIDDY; remember Road to El Dorado? Mild swearing, dark and sexual themes AND blood, and it was a cartoon).

ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yeah, and so far, DreamWorks Animation hasn't done a PG-13 rated movie. Then the tag line for the film would be "From the makers of Shrek, except it's not for kids.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Well, to use El Dorado as an example again, it was only PG. Things tend to be taken lighter with animation for some reason. I just saw Beowulf, and despite being rated PG-13 it had a lot of gore and generally disturbing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I though Beowulf was rated R. Anyway, Star Fox would still be rated at least PG as a movie. Lots of character deaths, a little bit of profanity and sexual references, but they're all talking animals and robots, which is usually aimed at kids.

(And don't be all OMG, NUU, DREAMWORKS IS KIDDY; remember Road to El Dorado? Mild swearing, dark and sexual themes AND blood, and it was a cartoon). Yes, I do remember Road To El Dorado, having seen it multiple times, and I can decisively say that there are absolutely no sexual themes in that film whatsoever. And swearing? Whaaaaat? Yes, Dreamworks is kiddy. Besides, El Dorado came out in what, 2000? Look at the stuff Dreamworks releases now and tell me how "adult" it is. (Don't take this personally, please. I have a blood feud against Dreamworks. ) And as for your post, what probably happened is that you either made it less than 45 seconds after your last one, or someone posted right as you were. And on a totally off-topic note: I'll stick with the verified documents myself. I wasn't saying that the Bible was true, as I am not religious at all. But there is much evidence, biblical or otherwise, that states that slavery existed in New Kingdom (not Old Kingdom, when the pyramids were built) Egypt.

Drasiana Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 You don't count the part where Chel and what's-his-face are half-clothed and on top of each other as even slightly suggestive, or the part in the beginning where the armadillos go into the bushes? They also say "hell" and "damn" frequently throughout the movie. They aren't horrible, but some may consider them "bad words". Another example? Titan A.E. was rated PG, but people were getting shot and killed like, everywhere. And there was that one scene where you see Cale's butt and what's-her-face wearing nothing but a towel.

If those things are your idea of sexual imagery, well...I don't agree. At some point, one has to wonder why Dreamworks would put even vaguely sexual things into a film which will be watched largely by children (who are, after all, the target audience of Dreamworks). Also, woe to the filmmaker who adapts Star Fox (or any sci-fi thing) to the big screen with Titan AE as his model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I said "sexual themes". Not "SEX AND NUDITY LOLOLOLOLOLOL". That means maybe suggestive comments and whatever outfit Krystal will probably be wearing. Which would probably be the extent of anything sexual in any Star Fox media ever, despite what fanboys like to dream. I also suggest you start paying attention to my posts and stop replying with heavily-opinionated points that really don't have anything to do with the message I'm trying to get across.

absoludicrous91 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I agree with most of your opinions on Star Fox, but you seem to have an extreme victim complex here. Krystal fans criticize your DA work and you deduce that every Star Fox fan hates you and wants to destroy you. I suggest you take a deep breath or ten and understand that you won't be helping your cause by throwing a hissy fit if I tell you that two armadillos wrestling and then running into a bush is not even remotely suggestive.

Drasiana Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Whoa, when did you get some sort of vandetta against me? It's not the armadillos running into the bush, its the bushes shaking and the plethora of babies running OUT of the bush that had me pausing my VCR and rewinding it. I have never been horribly criticized for MY work, so don't you dare say I'm playing the "poor me" card. It's other fans I know and respect (meaning, no, the entire fandom doesn't want to destroy me) that are sick of tired, myself included, of the BS the fandom throws around at people. I'm also not throwing a hissy fit, in case you didn't notice. I just get noticeably exasperated when people consistantly miss my point and respond to EXAMPLES I use with snide opinionated comments (reffering to Titan A.E. here). If you have anything to say to me furthermore, PM it to me, because I'd rather not break a topic by trying to explain myself to someone who needs to read before they post.

Sabre Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Are you 2 done being children? No sweets if you keep this up. Anyway, road to El Dorado was a great film, as was titan AE. Sinbad was canny as well. The sex in road to El Dorado includes a scene where the woman is almost caught having sex with one of the guys who is ment to be a god. "Oh no! What would they think if they saw this?" "What a lucky god." Titan AE is a great anolog for a starfox movie, I can't beleive I forgot about it. I would quite like to see a horror episode if it was a series. Creeping around a monster infected space hulk sounds like a good time to me.

ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, like I said earlier one day, we should think about what casting decisions we would make for a TV series based on Star Fox. For Fox, there's this popular actor named David Kaye. Yes, Puff, he's an actor from various Transformers cartoons, mostly as Megatron/Galvatron, but more recently he's been cast as Autobots Optimus Prime and Grimlock. Peppy, sometimes I wish he was voiced by Casey Kasem, but Casey might not have much longer to live, so another actor I thought of was Jeff Glenn Bennett. Dan Gilzevaan would be perfect for Slippy. He could make Slippy sound less annoying, and more mature. For Falco, the one of the best choices I have is Maurice LaMarche using his voice of Egon Spenglar from The Real Ghostbusters. I could have used Chris Latta, but he died ages ago. Another good Falco might have been Ed Gilbert who was Baloo in TailSpin, but Ed died too back in 1999. Krystal's a hard casting decision. She needs an actress who will make her sound not too old, not too childish. A good actress I read about is Chinese American thespian Gwendoline Yeo. She played Li-En in Zatch Bell, another beautiful female supporting character. I know some of you are mad at me for not saying "Wendee Lee as Krystal", but Wendee's getting middle aged, even though she's played a lot of hot ladies. I still think Frank Welker as Andross. I've heard him as Megatron, and it sounds just mean enough for Andross. If any of you disagree and have different casting ideas for the above mentioned characters, then tell me.

I don't appreciate being called a child for an argument I didn't start, but whatever...; Yeah, I always got the creeps from playing Metroid Fusion when Samus X chased you around out of nowhere and it was like "OMFGOMFGOMFGWHATDOIDO AAAAAAH", but that's more game material it seems... Star Fox really has a ton of potential as a series, though. Even my mom pointed it out. MY MOM. As well, isn't it, well, odd that the most cinematic series of all of Nintendo's is one of their two main franchises (Pikmin is the other) that HASN'T gotten a show or movie of some sort? Okay, the Metroid movie never actually happened, but at least they were talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere on this forum (don't remember the thread) I said something about how ironic it was that the most popular Nintendo franchises (AKA the ones that ended up on TV) were the franchises that were completely ill-suited to the small screen (and the big screen, as things turned out). Dras, you are right on the money. Game-popularity aside, the Nintendo game with highest potential for TV and film is Star Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I mean, Animal Crossing has an animated series. ANIMAL CROSSING. ANIMAL CROSSING! WHAT THE HECK, NINTENDO D: When Star Fox was intended to be more cinematic than most other games, which is partially why they're like the only Nintendo franchise who's main characters regularily, like, talk?! WAAAH does not compute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Animal Crossing has a series? Sadly, I think it is due to Miyamoto's lack of attachment for Star Fox. He has been quoted as saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Er, it was a movie, actually, my mistake. But yeah. Miyamoto doesn't have to made a movie/series either, just like he didn't make Star Fox Adventures-Command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I wish Miyomoto did make Command, then Krystal wouldn`t have her essence sucked out of her, and the game wouldn`t get such a cold reception. Anyway, another case where mild profanity was in a cildren`s movie is The Transformers: The Movie. After Unicron destroys Moon Base 2, Spike says "Oh sh#$! What are we gonna do now?!", then one of Ultra Magnus`s lines is "Open! Da#$it, open!". Also, The Touch, a song used in the movie has some lyrics that say "When all he#$`s breaking loose,". Another problem we still have with the film is who would make it. The only studios I know have done computer animated movies are DreamWorks, Universal Pictures, Nickelodion, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. 20th Century Fox, I`m not saying they make bad movies, but if people heard they were making a movie based on something called Star Fox, people would ignore the movie big time. They`d think it was just a bad pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be going too far to say that if Star Fox was even moderately popular it would end up on TV, but it could be that all we need is a few successful games.

Drasiana Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I thought the game was based on the show, not the other way around. Arwingcommander, you forgot Disney/Pixar. Of course Disney's failed a lot lately and have ditched their 3D studios anyways...Pixar wins but would likely never do a game movie. There's also the guys who did Beowulf (don't know what they're called though), who I mentioned earlier. That movie, despite its serious lameness, had some awesome graphics. Even then we still have a dozen independant companies out there who would probably snatch up the movie if they could. Also, I thought Nintendo opened up their own studios at some point last year? So wouldn't they do it? I also don't think people would be turned off by the name, especially if they gave it a secondary title. Call it Star Fox: Fall of Canis or something odd like that and people probably wouldn't be all "wtf star wars" on first thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Ever wonder if the Star Fox television series would parody other things from movies, games, and TV? I have a feeling that Leon and Panther would end up like Bebop and Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just not for kids. Krystal herself is kinda a parody of Princess Leigha, and Princess Zelda (Half-naked, magic powers, not some damsel in distress). General Pepper would probably one of those Optimus Prime sort of leaders. I'm just letting ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows what a film might be like. I still remember searching for the metroid zero add at college and being acussed of searching for filth. :S I don't think there ever would be an official series of SF, because it could exhaust possable game plots?
