manbot, the movie

[bearded]

you know how a movie is made, and the story totally ignores continuity, origin, and design?  well, what would manbot the movie look like?  (not entirely just a skin/mesh request, what changes would the producers make in the story?)
would the marketing department make manbot have some color, other than dull grey?  a little 'hot rod red', maybe?

[BentonGrey]

For the purposes of attracting a "larger audience" the part of Man-Bot will now be played by a hot young blonde who likes jogging on the beach......

Robotic suits are unrealistic, the public is too stupid and unimaginative to suspend their disbelief, so she'll just wear a metal string-bikini that deflects bullets.

The brother dying is a real downer, instead, let's have him be kidnapped by ninjas.....

The brother dying is a real downer, instead, let's have him be kidnapped by ninjas.....

Yeah for ninjas.

[Protomorph]

Let's not forget, Man-Bot will be unmasked for 7/8ths of the movie.

funny funny.  some of it is workable, however.  brother is kidnapped by ninjas, manbot is played by matthew mcconaughey, so the helmet must be easily removable, for face time.  gotta keep manbot depressed, so the brother is the one that suggests a paint job for the armor, which manbot implements just before he goes to rescue brother.  touching and dramatic.  but what should the younger brother suggest for design?

[Protomorph]

Flames. Like an old Trans-Am

[BentonGrey]

But he should be black instead of gray, everything should be black, because black is cool. 

And no costumes for the bad guys, just black leather, even the ice soldiers, because once again, the viewing public are a bunch of drooling morons incapable of accepting anything else but retreaded costumes from the Matrix.

Nuclear Winter is replaced by a hot Russian chick with a leather fetish.......

Played by Milla Jovovitch, straight outta Zoolander. She's not made of Ice, like Nuclear Winter should be, but rather, she breathes and stuff ices over like it's a gum commercial.

[BentonGrey]

Haha, exactly.

I think you're being generous...he would only put the helmet on for the first and final scene...rest of the movie he would inexplicably go unmasked........Judge Dredd anyone?

[Protomorph]

Judge Dredd, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, Fantastic Four 2 (Doom's scenes), Daredevil

I like where you're going with this but our studies show that our demographic really likes Chris Tucker. I think he should be Manbot's dad. Maybye his step-dad.
AND he has a metal prosthesis for a leg from an old injury. Yeah, that's it, prosthesis. That's the ticket!

[BentonGrey]

Haha, I was following the bitter irony until the prosthesis...then you lost me! :P

[bearded]

i had chris tucker in mind.  there needs to be a cameo of minute man, right?  except not be in costume, just a brief appearance of chris as frank stiles.  (this is addictive, but i was really hoping to get a new skin.)

and the movie should reference the 60's tv show.  the bot signal should stay the same, but the botmobile needs to be updated and edgier.  and black.  maybe we could get matthew to do the botussi?

)
a trilogy?  'manbot begins', 'manbot returns', and 'manbot begins again'
each movie will have a different actor for the lead, and prolly should be a reboot of the origin story.

[Protomorph]

Oh, each movie will be a reboot. I thought that was a given.

By the third one, he'll become Dr. Manbot.
