it's exciting to think that we'll be able to view Oddworld in a completely different way someday.

I don't know, maybe I'm taking my crazy obsession with the
original Oddworld a bit too far, but (speaking for myself here)...I don't...
want a different way. Oddworld doesn't seem to me like something that can be twisted and turned thisaway and thataway just so that more people will know it's
there. Perhaps it's the sort of seeing-things-that-aren't-there-only-because-you-want-them-to-be-there phenomenon I'm experiencing, but it just seems that Oddworld was created, it's done. Messing with that creation, tweaking it just to popularize it, doesn't appeal to me at all.
I realize that if they release an Oddworld film, it'll still be Oddworld, and most likely the same story. But it's the story revealed in another way, a different way, that kind of bothers me. If I had my way in the world, I'd keep Oddworld the way it is (or was, rather, what with Stranger and all).
It's great if they do an Oddworld film, but I really want them to do it
nicely, you know, well-done, that doesn't change the stories, so that people won't get the wrong idea of Oddworld. I feel paranoid that they'll make a mistake here and have a slip-up there the story will come out completely different. I just feel like the mom of a kid who's about to be introduced to some of her friends, you know, don't chew with your mouth open, don't squirm, use a napkin, etc.
Dammit I can be a bogan sometimes.
