My pitch for an adult Scooby Doo series I just came up with on my morning walk:

It would be a spiritual sequel to Mystery Incorporated set five years after the events of the show with the gang soon to be entering their 30’s and now having two decades of crime solving under their belt.

But even five years later the gang is still haunted by the events of the first series and their relationships with their parents, romantic partners or- in the case of Shaggy - their prospective dating partners. (Shaggy is learning he’s bisexual as well)

Then, after solving another mystery for the town and being featured on national television for solving their 500th mystery, their latest criminal is supernaturally assassinated in the middle of their trail on national television.

And, to the gang’s shock, they learn days before a mysterious package had been sent to her labeled “From the Gang’s biggest fan”.

Now under the national spotlight, it’s a race against time as the gang seeks to solve the greatest case of their lives to protect not only their reputations and save the lives of the very criminals they’ve put behind bars, but uncover what new supernatural threat has arisen.

And in the end of season 1 after catching the assassin but finding out they’re supernatural, they learn to their shock that without Nibiru (the main antagonist from the OG)’s supernatural interference and influence, the Earth has become home to diverse supernatural species and beings, many even more powerful then the Anunnaki.

And one of those very beings has declared themselves the biggest fan of the Scooby Gang and is causing chaos not only in the human word but the world of the supernatural as well.

So the gang, taken before the supernatural council, is now given charge of solving the mysteries for the supernatural world while answering to the council to discover who the mastermind behind the chaos is before they destroy the peace between worlds and even the world itself.

A sitcom set entirely among the staff and regulars at a gay bathhouse would be so good actually. Like, regular sitcom banter but the characters are standing by side at the glory holes getting anonymous head. Just imagine Kramer throwing himself through the door but it's a sauna and he's wearing nothing but a towel.

#And none of the characters have abs.#tv pitch #Writing #Gay #Gay culture #Bathhouse #post o' mine

Mortal Kombat: The Series - a rough outline

Since recent Mortal Kombat stories (both the adaptations and the actual story modes within the games themselves) have been mixed at best, I figure why not detail how I would do a more modern adaptation of the franchise.

I practically have been adapting the franchise for my AU, but this post will be for a more faithful adaptation that adapts the original canon as best as it can.

First and foremost, I would indeed make this a series. MK can still work as a film franchise, but I do feel a series, whether animated or live-action, can explore the world-building and character development far better than a movie could.

The series would run for at least 6-7 seasons with the major games being adapted in some kind of capacity.

Without further ado, here's a rough outline of each season...

Season 1 - The tournament (Old MK1)

The series begins with five episodes detailing the origins of certain groups of characters leading up to the tournament, similar to MK Legacy.

These groups of characters are...

- Liu Kang and Kung Lao

- Johnny Cage

- Sonya Blade, Jax and Kano

- Kitana and Mileena

- Scorpion and Sub-Zero

Episode 6 is the arrival on the island, the proper introduction of Shang Tsung, hints of Goro and Reptile, a showcase of what the characters can do before the big tournament, and the seeds of certain relationships being planted, like Liu Kang x Kitana and Johnny x Sonya.

The tournament begins in episode 7 and takes up about half of the season (6 episodes). It culminates with Liu Kang killing Goro and besting Shang Tsung. The season ends on a cliffhanger with a tease of Shao Kahn.

I honestly feel that 12 episodes is the right amount to establish the main characters without things dragging on too much. With that being said, each of the following seasons are longer due to the constantly growing number of characters.

Season 2 - Into Outworld (MK2)

After Liu Kang's victory in the first tournament, the forces of Outworld, led by Baraka, massacre the Temple of Light, which motivates Liu Kang and his allies into agreeing to fight in another tournament. This time, in Outworld.

This is where we start to see the previously established relationships grow with Johnny and Sonya starting to have feelings for each other, and Liu Kang learning about why Kitana has such an interest in him.

We don't do dedicated episodes for certain characters anymore. They still get told, but in flashbacks. Why? Because much like what The4thSnake said when approaching how he would adapt MK, setting up your main cast is integral enough for the first season that it can work that way, but further characters and follow-ups can't hold the plot advancement back too much once the series has already gotten going.

Kitana ends up killing Mileena, finally allowing herself to align with the Earthrealm heroes. The climax is Liu Kang and Kung Lao vs. Shao Kahn. Why both Liu Kang and Kung Lao? As a way to show just how strong Shao is to the point where the two monks have to combine their strength to take him down.

Shao is left wounded, and the heroes return to Earthrealm with Kitana joining their side. Again, the season ends on a cliffhanger with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi healing Shao as they begin to enact their plan to resurrect Sindel on Earthrealm.

Season 3 - The invasion (MK3)

Shao Kahn resurrects Sindel on Earthrealm, which allows it to merge with Outworld. With Raiden losing his powers as a result of the merger, it's up to Liu Kang to lead the rebellion against Shao and his forces to save Earthrealm one more time.

While all of this is going on, we also have Sub-Zero rebelling against the Cyber Lin Kuei, who set out to capture him alive.

Eventually, the season culminates with Liu Kang facing Shao Kahn on his own after Kung Lao gets injured by the emperor. Liu Kang defeats Shao, who is then killed by the Elder Gods when they arrive shortly after. Sindel is restored to good, and Kitana says goodbye to Liu Kang as she wishes to get back what she lost all of those years.

The season also ends with Johnny and Sonya getting engaged.

Season 4 - Netherrealm war (MK4)

This season potentially opens with a multi-parter based on Mythologies: Sub-Zero where we see the history that Scorpion and Sub-Zero have with Quan Chi and Shinnok. In fact, this season is likely going to be mostly centered around them.

Liu Kang kinda steps down from the focus, but he still gets a huge role in the season with him trying to save Kitana and Edenia. Johnny and Sonya tie the knot sometime between seasons, and Cassie is born by then. The three main heroes lead the forces of Earthrealm against Shinnok during the Netherrealm war.

Eventually, Shinnok is defeated and Quan Chi escapes into a lost tomb where he discovers the ancient undead army of the Dragon King, which no doubt leads to the next season.

Season 5 - Next generation (MKX + Deadly Alliance)

The season takes place about 20 years after the previous one. Raiden has become an Elder God with Fujin replacing him as Earthrealm's protector. Johnny and Sonya as well as other characters like Jax, Kung Lao and Kenshi are much older. However, Liu Kang is still youthful due to his role as champion of Mortal Kombat. He still longs for the day he can get with Kitana, which no doubt will have a great payoff.

The heroes have been training the new generation of fighters like Cassie, Takeda and Kung Jin so that they can defend Earthrealm through Mortal Kombat sometime in the future. While all of this is going on, Quan Chi forms an alliance with Shang Tsung as they plan on resurrecting the Dragon King's army so that they can conquer the realms.

Throughout the season, we also follow side plots with Nitara, Kotal Kahn and his rise to power, Orderrealm vs. Chaosrealm, etc.

The season ends with the Kombat Kids losing to both Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, and being taken prisoners as Onaga makes his return to reclaim his army.

Season 6 - The Dragon King (Deception)

Liu Kang, Sonya and Johnny learn of the Kombat Kids being captured, so they decide to come out of retirement to save them. Liu Kang also reunites with Kitana, who agrees to help the Earthrealm heroes face Onaga and the Deadly Alliance, who are hellbent on reviving The One Being.

At some point, the old heroes face the Kombat Kids, who are being controlled by Onaga. Eventually, they are restored. We also wrap up the rivalry that Liu Kang has with Shang Tsung as well as the one that Scorpion and Sub-Zero have with Quan Chi, which result in the sorcerers getting killed.

The climax is Liu Kang vs. Onaga. Liu Kang finally becomes the Fire God after he and Kitana are mortally wounded, and manages to destroy The Dragon King. Kitana becomes a goddess and finally gets to be with Liu Kang as they become the protectors of the realms (not just Earthrealm, but also Outworld and Edenia).

Bonus season - Timelines kollide (MK11 + Armageddon)

The series officially wraps in Season 6, but there can indeed be a bonus season.

Instead of time travel, it's a multiverse season that brings in different versions of the characters from prior incarnations of the franchise (such as the films) and even the AU I was working on as they team up to thwart a new threat. I thought of having said threat be Titan Shang Tsung, or at least a version of Shang Tsung that is all-powerful (especially since I'm not a fan of Titans in MK).

And...that's very much it. We'd get as faithful of an adaptation as it's possible while still improving on certain shortcomings from the source material. MK gets to be told properly, for once. Plus, we'd get a genuinely good Martial Arts show that delivers on what makes MK so great and iconic.

That's all for now.

Thoughts On An American Reboot Of "The Prisoner:"

...I realize now that "The Prisoner" was more commentary than a genuine hypotherhical scenario. It only took me taking a moment to consider how real interrogation methods have been described to realize that the TV series becomes a lot easier to digest if viewed as no different than the other experimental/"art house" works, both of the time (like "The Magic Christian," "Magical Mystery Tour," "Help," etc) and contemporary ("Matthew Barney," "David Lynch," etc).

With that said, I feel like an U.S. remake of "The Prisoner" could be pulled off reasonably well, but there are a few changes I'd make that keep with the spirit of the series and makes more sense for the American audience in mind:

"The Village" would be changed to "The Campus"

Sadly I feel "Rover" would have to be a completly different thing

"No 2" would have a gaming chair

And if the show's going to wind up a fiasco from start to finish, might as well pick a cast to reflect it, like: Denziel Washington as No.6 and Will Smith as the No. 2 who comes back at the end of the series...

I think they should make a Men in Black tv show, but keep everything lo-fi practical effects. Just campy, muppety aliens. I would watch the shit out of that.

Animated Film Pitch Scene

Setting: LA. A dark alleyway. A muscle car is parked. Enshrouded in a ghostly mist.

Ambience: Retro. Horror/thriller. Grainy film texture represents a sense of grit and realism. Tension builds under the surface of every setting and character who lives in this world.

Inspiration: Panos Cosmatos, Robert Rodrigues, Grindhouse films.

Television Pitch Idea: a home remodeling show called “Kitchen Debates” wherein there is one host who tries to sell people on highly expensive appliances, and another host who just calls everything the first host suggests unnecessary capitalist excess.
