I still think making a Banana Splits horror movie (despite it’s orgins) is kinda cringe. It’s like “Pinnochio’s Revenge,” (yes, that exists) scraping the bottom of the barrel to make something that was once innocent into something “scary,” but such concepts seem ridiculous.
It’s weird how dark Hanna Barbara, Archie & Friends, and other series you wouldn’t expect to get gritty reboots are getting lately.
I’m not against darker stuff, (I liked the “Batman VS TMNT” movie, and surprisingly Nickelodeon let DC make it PG-13, with plenty of blood) but it has to be done right, and not be an insult against the original.
That said, I’d rather have a darker more serious Space Ghost reboot cartoon (like maybe PG or TV-14) kinda like the darker short lived DC comic reboot from years back.
