Xillix Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 So for everyone who's read it... I think you might be surprised to learn how faithful Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills actually is to the original show. The TV show wasn't a parody (intentionally), just spectacularly bad. But aside from the overt jokes and, obviously, the ending, it's really very close. I'll put this all in spoilers so people who didn't read the movie yet don't need to see it but: Spoiler -The character names are all accurate, of course. -The opening scene is a direct adaptation of the first scene of the series - a merc really does give Gorganus a "map" that's just a bunch of etchings on some glass, and he really is laser-blasted for his troubles (though in the show he's "teleported to a toil mine" instead of killed). -If anything, movie Lechner is LESS annoying than show Lechner. -Gordon on the show is absolutely stupid enough to make that Star Wars comment (he actually once accused Les Misérables of being an obvious ripoff of The Fugitive). -"Ninjabot, the samurai robot" is taken from the show's first episode, and yes, that's exactly how Gorganus describes him. -Almost every monster in the show is, for some reason, teleported to a completely desolate location where it can't seem to do any harm - just like in the movie. -The teens' summoning is almost verbatim from the show - the teens initially believe the portal to be from Swinton's project until Nimbar tells them he summoned them. -Yes, Nimbar is just a mound of goo on a pedestal that sometimes has tentacles. -No, the teens on the show don't have any discernible combat skills, and really do spend most of the fight scenes just jumping around or doing gymnastics - though the show still tries to pretend they're formidable warriors. -The "Power Portal in the girl's restroom" joke is lifted directly from the show. -Yes, Knightron really is a thing, and yes, the "most powerful sword in the universe" really is useless unless used as a laser gun. -Yes, the teens really do talk loudly in public about being superheroes, though in the show they always seem to get away with it because everyone is apparently deaf. -The characters' personalities are only VERY slightly exaggerated, with the exception of Drew, who was more of a generic "rebellious fight-the-man" teen on the show.

cookie Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) I read through Voltron again noticed quite a few writing errors and with the Part 1 topic closed I'm putting up a Google Docs link here for anyone who hasn't reviewed it yet ( @Hiccup23 @spaghetti! @Rorschach @Ethan Hunt @Electric). I haven't made any changes other than fixing typos and some other errors. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M1d-ekaEEkz-Hi7EE9yeEgC70EHzIwYEEpcIlZCOaj8/edit?usp=sharing Edited September 16, 2017 by cookie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 @Alpha, @Xillix, @Bastien, @Rorschach, @Ethan Hunt Need some advice from y'all, since I know you read SEEING HER: Would you say Mae Whitman is a lead or supporting role? I know I wrote it, but I want to make sure I'll campaign her for a category that won't make people hate me, lmao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though sample sizes matter... you'd need 30 movies per user to really get a good analysis of statistically significant differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillix Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 BTW, as improbable as it may seem, I do in fact have a sequel lined up for Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. It'll be called Ta2ed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. I don't know most of the plot yet, but I do know the ending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Next year, whenever we get to that, I will try to make more films than I did this time around. Though TBH some of them will be ones I released in both Cayom Vanilla and the old BOM Cayom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider me surprised that Life is Strange is actually even considered for BP. It seemed like such a messy mess when I finished it that I had low hopes for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early but right now I think the BP race looks this: Locked Seeing Her Flowers for Algernon Life is Strange Good chance Public Eye Scrooge McDuck Touching Spirit Bear Dark horse Me and My Shadow The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair Amulet The Provider Mara, Daughter of the Nile Voltron / Spark: Rising The SCP Foundation (it being a horror anthology is going to make it very difficult despite strong reviews) Edited September 16, 2017 by cookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always have something break out in August in order to make the month interesting. Back in CAYOM 1.0, a small Christian film broke out in August and made $180M in August.

Ezen Baklattan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I know we talk about doing actuals in a line, but should we do the same for hosting the academy awards? It was fun to change it up every year - I'd love to host in Y1, provided no one else is interested 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
