Post by Charlie - Bounty Hunter on Mar 13, 2011 12:29:05 GMT -5
This is an idea I've had for a very long time. Like I said in my other post, I once played hooky from school so I could watch a Critters marathon. I was very young then, and the channel I was watching weren't just playing all the Critter films, they were doing a sci-fi marathon. The next film to be shown after Critters was a movie called "Oblivion" about cowboys vs. Aliens.
Well, as being young, I didn't know another film had started, I honestly thought it was a 5th Critters film! LOL
for many years I'd tell people about the one "where Charlie lands on a planet that is run by aliens and resumes his role as a bounty hunter." When, it wasn't involved with Critters in any way.
But it got me thinking.... What if?
My idea is, in the future and after the closing events of 4, Charlie, Ethan and Fran make it to Earth... only to discover something horrid. Those apparent last two eggs weren't the last at all. There were more... and, in all these years to come, they have grown, and spawned, and evolved in monstrous ways...
I'd want to do a whole new kind of Critter. I loved in part 1 how they kept growing tall, and in part 2 how they became one giant ball-crite... And that's only as far as they'd gotten in one day.. What if they had been allowed to evolve for years to come?!
So they find themselves on this Earth, which is now basically wastelands, taken over by Critters who have eaten their way through the world, humanity is a dying species...
I'd also like to see a sort-of return of Ug, I always hated how at the end of part three, he was friendly to Charlie.. only to show up as a villain years later. I get that years can change a person, but I hated seeing Ug evil. Since Ug is a shapeshifter, I always had hope that this character was just pretending to be Ug, and the *real* one might still be out there... Somewhere.
Obviously, Ethan, Fran and Charlie couldn't save the world by themsevles, so I'd want them to meet up with a group of survivors that have slowly been picked off over the years. Perhaps Ug could be a part of this group, and maybe they've only survived this long because of him?
Since human life is becoming basically extinct, the Critters would be reaching a point of starvation, desperate and eating anything they can, maybe even to the point of cannibalism of each other.
That's really I'll I have at the moment, but would LOVE to hear your takes and suggestions!
