Mr. Bean: The In BEAN-Tween Years

[-] sunbytes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

"Young Bean" show in the making

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago

I think it was already made, it is called The Black Adder.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

The best part of Blackadder was the Christmas special, where the lead character starts off as a great guy and then the ghosts visit him and convince him to become a right bastard, culminating in a hilarious scene where he kicks Tiny Tim's crutch out from under him. Just amazing that nobody else ever thought to do a reverse take on the Christmas Carol cliche like that.

I want a Scarecrow movie.

Psychology professor that is a mastermind of manipulation and fear, with a fear toxin. One of Batman's most brutal and hardest adversaries compared to Joker events.

Literal mind fuck fear-inducing vilain that does—well, he'd say he doesn't—some really, really horrifying things.

So done with Jokers

That sounds great. They used Scarecrow in the last season of Titans and that was... disappointing. I'd love to see something like Heath Ledger's take on the Joker applied to Scarecrow.

Managing to disappoint people in a series with rock bottom expectations is impressive.

Joker 2 could have actually been great, if the last 20 minutes wasn't what it is.

They set up everything to be what one should expect, and then, instead of continuing, destroyed everything they built.

However, I want to see your Scarecrow movie.

I think a story about an evil man who suddenly went sane is really interesting

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

After the prison rape via the guards, apparently.

But they didn't set up a story of an evil man suddenly going sane. Just like Game of Thrones didn't set up Daenerys suddenly going insane.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

GoT set up Daenerys going insane in book 1. It was so obvious. I don't know about the TV show, but it's clear as day in the first book.

As for joker? It's set up in the cartoon at the beginning. They literally tell you how the movie is going to go in that animation.

Can we just not make movies where villains are the protagonists?

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 2 years ago

I always considered that he grew up lonely with undiagnosed autism, and there are many Mr beans in the real world

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Lead paint.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

A real human bean.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I want a Batman movie, where The Joker is Mr. Bean instead.
