Nobody Duology (2011-2015)

A docile family man slowly reveals his true character after his house gets burgled by two petty thieves, which, coincidentally, leads him into a bloody war with a Russian crime boss.

Johto Pokémon that would have been better off debuting in the Sinnoh Region

Now, let's face it: many of the Johto Pokémon were pretty much underdeveloped in their debuts. With how low their stats were, how some had no good moveset at all, had poor typing, and worse, didn't get an evolution UNTIL the fourth generation, some of these second-generation Pokémon might as well have been better off as fourth-generation Pokémon instead. For this list, choose Johto Pokémon you think would have been better off as Sinnoh Pokémon instead.

Companies that should have never went bankrupt

Throughout the decades, we've lost a lot of companies through bankruptcy. Said companies are many companies that were responsible for giving us many of the nostalgic things we loved as children (whether it was Saturday Morning Cartoons, toys, video games, movies, etc.), that we all secretly wish they never closed down, and we're still running as of this day. For this list, choose a defunct company that you loved so much and gave you many of your favorite things growing up, and you wish it were still around.

Monster House Live Action (2013)

On the eve of Halloween, three kids discover their old neighbor's house is, in fact, a living, sentient monster! Now the three preteens must band together to take down the house before it devours people on Halloween.

Voice Actors that could have played adult Spike in the series finale of MLP

For those who saw the My Little Pony series finale, we can all agree on one thing: having Cathy Weseluck (the voice of Spike as a child) play Spike as an adult wasn't a very good decision. The problem with that casting choice is that she didn't sound fitting for the right reasons: 1. Spike was a grown adult, and by then his voice would change and sound deeper and more mature. 2. Cathy didn't really try to make her voice even sound masculine; she just used her voice for when Spike sounded like a child, which wouldn't fit him by the time he becomes an adult. 3. Having a woman voice a grown male character doesn't work when their voice is meant to become deeper and more masculine (usually, when it's done for comedic purposes, it's fine). So, for this story, put down suggestions of male voice actors you think would have been more fitting to play Spike's adult form in the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic series finale (before, at least, Martin Roach would voice Spike's adult self in My Little Pony Generation 5).

The Polar Express Live Action (2010)

On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.

Fictional Characters that should have "I'm Just a Kid" play for them

"I'm Just a Kid" by Simple Plan has remained as one of the most iconic songs of all time. The song is relatable to us adults, teenagers, and kids who go through depression, loneliness, the frustration of adolescence, being bullied by others, and the feeling of being misunderstood. It's a song that relates to those who go through tough times. For this story, choose fictional characters from media such as cartoons, tv shows, video games, movies etc. that you feel like would be fitting to have "I'm Just a Kid" play for them. These can be characters (male and female) that have been bullied, abused, tormented, judged, misunderstood, lonely, and have been belittled by society. It can be an adult, teenager, or a kid character.

Everyone's Hero Live Action (2016)

A boy comes to a turning point in his life when he faces a critical decision: Should he take a chance and possibly become a hero, or should he play it safe? Though the odds are stacked against him, he begins a cross-country adventure to return Babe Ruth's baseball bat before the deciding game of the 1932 World Series.

Underrated Voice Actors

Throughout the voice acting industry, a lot of voice actors out there just don't get enough appreciation when compared to legends like Frank Welker, Rob Paulson, Kath Soucie, Tress MacNeille, Jeff Bennett, Dee Bradley Baker, Elizabeth Daily, June Foray, Jennifer Hale, Maurice LaMarche, Mel Blanc, Phil Lamarr, Tom Kenny, Kevin Michael Richardson, Laura Bailey, Cree Summer and many more. A lot of voice actors out there don't get the credit they deserve, aren't cast enough, and are COMPLETELY unknown to the public. For this list, put in all kinds of voice actors you think are completely unknown and don't get the recognition they deserve.

Voice roles Corey Marshall could play

Now, let's be honest: Corey Marshall, the English voice of Ryo Hazuki from the Shenmue franchise, is incredibly underrated, talented, unknown, and deserves more voice roles. With how well he played the character of Ryo Hazuki, his roles for anime: Boogiepop Never Laughs: Boogiepop Phantom, and Assemble Insert, he definitely is a talented voice actor that should have gotten further in his career. For this page, choose characters that you think Marshall would be perfect for, and in addition to that, choose companies (can even be defunct companies as well) that you think he would be perfect to work for. This page is dedicated to one of the most underrated, underused, and unknown voice actors of all time: Corey Marshall. (Loved you in the Shenmue franchise).

Death to Smoochy 2002 (Alternate Cast)

A kids' show host, Rainbow Randolph, is fired in disgrace while his replacement, Sheldon Mopes, A.K.A. Smoochy the Rhino, finds himself a rising star. Unfortunately for Sheldon, the business of kids' television isn't all child's play. What if one of the most criminally underrated movies of all time had a COMPLETELY different cast? Add all kinds of actors that were famous, well-known, or available in the year 2002 (the year the film was released). To clarify to some that might vote on the story: this is NOT a modern remake, so don't use actors that are famous today, instead only actors that were well known in the early 2000s.

Zathura (2015)

After their father is called into work, two young boys, Walter and Danny, are left in the care of their teenage sister, Lisa, and told they must stay inside. Walter and Danny, who anticipate a boring day, are shocked when they begin playing Zathura, a space-themed board game, which they realize has mystical powers when their house is shot into space. With the help of an astronaut, the boys attempt to return home.

Robots 2005 (Alternate Cast)

In a world of sentient robots, striving young inventor Rodney Copperbottom wants to work for the avuncular Bigweld, whose Bigweld Industries makes spare robot parts. But Bigweld has just been deposed as company head by the villainous Phineas T. Ratchet, who wants to make all robots submit to profitable forced upgrades. In this animated adventure, Rodney and his friend Fender go underground to fight Ratchet's evil plans.

Ape Escape (4Kids TV Show; 2004 - 2009)

The evil white-haired monkey Specter uses a Peak Point Helmet to gain enhanced intelligence and forms an army of brainwashed monkeys to conquer the world and alter history. The young protagonist, Spike, must use a variety of special gadgets to travel through time and capture all the super-intelligent monkeys to foil Specter's plan.

Mighty Ray (2010)

Warner Brothers tackles Asian mythology in this animated feature. Mighty Ray, a son of gods, was snatched as a baby by High Roller and forced to live among mortals as a half-man, half-god. Now a teenager, Mighty Ray needs to perform a rite of passage on Earth to prove himself worthy of living with the gods on Mount Tai. With his plucky dragon sidekick, Mushu, along for the ride, Mighty Ray must learn how to use his strength and lightning eyes to defeat a series of evil creatures.

The Amazing World of Gumball (4Kids)

The Amazing World of Gumball follows Gumball Watterson, a blue cat, and his adoptive fish brother, Darwin, as they get into various hijinks in their surreal hometown of Elmore, California. The show centers on the Watterson family—Gumball, Darwin, their super-genius younger sister Anais, their stay-at-home dad Richard, and their working mom Nicole—who navigate everyday school and family life. What starts as a typical school sitcom evolves into a meta-narrative, with characters becoming aware of their existence as cartoon characters and facing existential threats, including their own creator and the reality-bending antagonist Rob.

WordGirl (PG 13 Series)

An alternate version of one of my favorite PBS Kids shows, WordGirl, but more mature and action-packed, while still paying respect to the content by having words defined and educational facts explored and studied throughout the episodes (while also using scientific facts from some comic books to keep it close to being a more mature tv show).
