the taming of the shrew by William Shakespeare was successful, what if we made as an animated TV show like Rick and morty.

I hate to be the guy, but Simpsons at their peak retold a number of classics including Lord of the Flies and Hamlet.

I'm OK with it because some of them have been good, like the Metroid first-person shooter games. (I haven't played them, but I know that people liked them.)

I think one of the reasons it doesn't work well with movies is that changing the genre of a movie also changes its tone. But with games, the gameplay genre is different from the narrative genre. You can make a strategy game, platformer, or shooter with the same tone, and so it stays "true" to the original setting, and it makes sense as being in the same fictional universe.

I miss the days when development cycles were short enough that spinoffs could be released alongside main series games without feeling like one was detracting from the other. I miss the days when every big IP had a goofy and experimental straight-to-handheld companion piece.

That sort of happens a lot though

“We are making a new breakfast club movie… It will be a space opera!”

I would love to watch that actually ..
