Description Alright, that particular concept has been sitting in my stuff like *forever*... well, not the picture itself, just the concept of an Inspector Gadget remake.

Finally got it out of my system.

The series/movie would be much less comic-centered, with a more serious tone.

The cast would remain the same, but with several differences. Penny is older, almost 18, but she's still a genius and carries around her "computer book", with also a slew of other helpful gadgets (no pun intended).

Brain is a regular dog whose intelligence has been enhanced artificially. He does *not* disguise himself, but is rather a "partner" to Gadget and Penny. He still doesn't talk, but he understand complicated concept and can communicate with barks and other "dog talk".

Gadget has been revamped, including a possible origin story. He's younger, and completely NOT oblivious to everything around him as in the cartoon. Instead, he's more like Cash in the "Tango and Cash" movie. He's a fairly high-level cop now affiliated with a special agency due to his powers.

I actually have a lot more details in mind, but I don't want to sell the punch. Just in case I decide to do something with the concept one day.

It's also one of my first attempts to create something more fancy via Paint.Net

Last night I remembered some of the dialogue...

"Wowser!"

And some of that terrible voice acting. A monotone voice going:

"Very exciting, yah."

Watching reruns now, 20 years later, I must say I don't see much going for that show... aside from that uber-cute Penny.

Now I just cringe seeing that goofball Gadget being so oblivious to whatever's going on around him. (and then getting credits for all the cases! o_O The Chief isn't a bright light either!)

Oops, look at me, I'm rambling.

XD I love the way the Chief always has a hideout and gets blown up at the beginning of every episode.

I bet in the first episode of your remake, Gadjet will be reluctant to bring Penny and Brain along for his cases but he'll eventually recognise their usefulness.

There would be an "origin" episode somewhere in the series, but at the start they would already be a team.

Poor Brain who always got the thankless job of watching out for that nutjob Gadget.

Who wouldn't want a brilliant dog anyway? :3

Aya-Wavedancer In reply to shoxxe [2010-02-12 18:39:05 +0000 UTC]

Heh, well, maybe a cat! ^_^

Then again, I could see Aarie having a dog like Brain, or maybe a lap cat that was very smart. Hmm, or maybe a Lynx like Bubastis from the Watchmen, one of my fave characters from the story, seriously...

shoxxe In reply to Aya-Wavedancer [2010-02-14 18:08:29 +0000 UTC]

Or even a mouse like Air'hy! (the original Aarie in the D&D game had a fungus-mouse familiar at one point! The picture is somewhere in my gallery)

Hee hee, well, Aarie does share, (I think, maybe!!!!) and based on one of the more famous and popular pics of Aarie, I think she likes dolphins a ton.

Can't reply publicly in every detail on the subject, but you do know Sea-Elves are close friends of all cetacians, and particularly the dolphins!

Well I do like the new look in the concept, but I'm not too keen on the story idea. The best I can say is at least its better than Gadget and the Gadgetinis.

maldo71 [2010-02-12 04:55:55 +0000 UTC]

I like the idea a lot. A young Gadget, and older Penny, good stuff, this could really work.

Aqua311 [2010-02-12 04:02:35 +0000 UTC]

So Gadge actually solves some of the crimes in this one? I just remember Penny being the one who does all the thinking and Brain doing a lot of the work.

Heh, well at least we get a silhouette of Dr. Claw instead of his... ARM!

shoxxe In reply to Aqua311 [2010-02-12 13:37:05 +0000 UTC]

Yes, Gadget is actually competent at his job! Guess I got tired watching reruns and seeing that bozo being completely oblivious to the real world...

But I still haven't found what C.L.A.W. would stand for in the remake, though.

I don't mind the Penny & Brain revamps, but really I don't like the idea of making the Inspector a kid. He'd work better as an older father-figure, just a more "hard-boiled" detective instead of some kid. Sorry, Gadget himself completely missed the mark for me.

Going by the picture, he looks only as old as Penny. Again I say: bleagh.
