Should Ron Moore re-imagine Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers?

[doubleohfive]

Seriously.

Batman The Animated Series proved that there's an audience for serious cartoons, and Justice League proved that a "team" show could still be done well... so I was wondering ... could a darker, grittier version of the Rescue Rangers work? Would Chip be an emo pissant, still living in his father's shadow and thus still trying to overcome his insecurity, acquiring the nickname "Chip" because he has such a big chip on his shoulder? Would Dale be like Wash from Firefly, or just a sillier Starbuck? What about Gadget? Maybe there's a reason they call her "Gadget"? Or Monterey Jack, the raging aclcholic?

There's so much they could do with the property -- would it work? What do you think? What would YOU do?

Should R&R be re-imaged? Absolutely.

Should Ron Moore be in charge? Absolutely not.

Only good things can come from such a plan, lets do it.

 

[bigdaddy]

Only bad things can come from such a plan, let's hang you.

I think what most shows have shown us is that re-imaging sucks. The first show was fine there is no need for a new one.

 

[Kronos]

Hanging? yeesh I would think I'd at least get a nice firing squad

 

[tomalak301]

Making Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers darker? Hell no. Why can't there be superior fun anymore. Why must everything be remastered and maybe have it dark and dreary.

Wait, you mean they already have a Plan?

I need to charter a spaceship with an FTL drive. Now!

Only if Irvine Welsh is allowed to reimagine DuckTales.

that show sounds fimilar, am going to have to look it up

Donald Duck, a bachelor, who lives with his three "nephews" (yeah, right), now reinterpreted by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

I like it.

I was trying to keep it as close to you as possible, and shotting you seemed overly violent. Guns are bad remember?

 

[EnsignRicky]

You lost me at seriously.

This post is so full of win.

I like it.

I thought it was Scrooge McDuck? He was the Uncle and Donald was the father.

Actually, Huey, Dewey and Louie referred to both Scrooge and Donald as "uncle". We never met their father nor their mother.

 

[cardinal biggles]

Scrooge was also Donald's uncle, so I'm guessing he was Huey, Dewey and Louie's great-uncle.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

It's like what Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers would be like in that alternate dark future episode of Darkwing Duck in which he turned into DarkWarrior Duck.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

Oh, and in this new version Zipper isn't real. He's a hallucination that Monterrey Jack has all of the time due to a chip that Dr. Nimbul implanted in his brain.

 

[God Magnus]

Would Uncle Scrooge be an alcoholic in this one?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The BSG approach, with chipmunks. Could work.

The Duck family tree, with its implications of a bizarre form of sexuality where parents and children do not exist, only uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews, could be the inspiration for a Caprica-style prequel. It would have to go on HBO to avoid the FCC's wrath, tho.
