A couple points of interest before you read the greatest thing ever written for people raised in the 80s and 90s.
1) This is envisioned as a feature film – like a big, $150M summer tent-pole.
2) Don’t be fooled by the fact that the cast is primarily the original cast. It’s a complete reboot, not a continuation. Think Batman Begins – nothing from the TV show “counts”.
3) If this was done how I’ve laid it out – like an over-the-top, ridiculous Michael Bay style action movie – I challenge you to admit you wouldn’t see it. I’d venture to say a lot of you would pay $50 a ticket and see it at least ten times, just like I would.
4) Everything would be played totally and completely 100% straight. No winks-and-nods to the audience, except the one time that there’s a literal wink-and-nod.
With those parameters – and links to all four parts of the summary are below – I give you…
