Seth MacFarlane to Reboot ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ With the Lucas Brothers (EXCLUSIVE) - And, shocker, its gonna be woke!

What a terrible idea, this is going to be completely awful.

How can you expect to remake a movie as politically incorrect as this, when every single aspect of that movie is politically contentious, even down to what "nerd" is supposed to mean these days?

The irony is you could do a remake if you were honest and had it be about not nerds getting revenge against jocks, but real nerds getting revenge against feminists and hipster poser doofuses, that'd be hilarious, I picture for example instead of wiring the sorority house with video cameras the nerds hack into and leak all their OnlyFans pics or something like that.

But no, it's probably going to be the opposite of that, a bunch of woke "nerds" getting revenge against Alt Right nerds or something like that, which feels like an ultimate slap in the face that now even Revenge of the fucking Nerds is going to be against real nerds, that 2006 remake probably would have been bad too, but it would probably have been better than whatever this is going to be.

Remember the last time someone attempted a reboot of revenge of the nerds it killed a whole division at Fox.


Also I just want to say how much I hate modern nerd culture
I thought I was the only one that remembered the incredibly short lived "Fox Atomic"

I only remembered Fox Atomic because my dad and I were watching the Hills Have Eyes remake series like a week ago, and I got one of those 28 Weeks Later comics which was published by their even shorter lived Fox Atomic Comics division

I remember them because of 28 Weeks Later, since I was a big fan of the first film and was super hyped for the sequel and was looking online for any information I could find on it once, but looking at their Wikipedia page they released way more movies than I realized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Atomic but we're still hilariously short lived.

The original "Revenge of the Nerds" was woke enough in itself - as the jocks were all over the top racists and redneck stereotypes. The only thing that wouldn't fly today is all of the sexist stuff, which was perfectly fine back in the 80s, especially since the girl that got "raped" was a stuck-up white princess. Funny how the Left didn't screech about sexual assault in movies as long as it was happening to uptight or right wing women ( like Hot Lips Houlihan from MASH.)

10 to 1, the modern reboot of this movie is going to have all the nerds be female and trans, and is going to feature a scene where a redneck Jock gets hot and heavy with a tranny, notices "she" has a penis, then decides to have sex with "her" because "she's" beautiful and having a penis shouldn't matter anyway!

Or in TV shows like how an episode from a recent season of Law & Order: SVU had a caricature of Ann Coulter get assaulted and the protagonists did not bring the perpetrators to justice because they were the political opposites of the victim. And you can see this with the vile things people type on Twitter towards any woman who is to the right of Marx.

Fucking WHAT
 
Fucking WHAT

Watching old episodes of this now and it's funny to see how much the show changed tonally in later seasons. Stabler calls a trans chick a he/she in one ep.

Is Hollywood even more blatantly a money laundering scheme now days? Seems these movies are made to lose money. Either that or Hollywood is scarily out of touch.
 
Fucking WHAT
Upon further research of this episode, the case was thrown out because an alt-right witness ticked off the Hispanic assistant district attorney that he moved to dismiss the trial, which the defense attorney (whose client was an Antifa guy) joined in the motion.

And during the episode, the characters showed their mixed feelings about the incident because of who the victim was.

Olivia: So what about threats leading up to the rally?

Fin: Against Martha Cobb? All day, every day. –

Amanda: Well, we should still sort through them, 'cause some people really hate her.

Fin: You know she wants all Jews and Muslims to convert to Christianity, right?

Amanda: You know, 10% of what she says is completely outrageous, and it's to get your attention, but some of her positions actually make a lot of sense.

Olivia: Yeah, like closing down Planned Parenthood or deporting the Dreamers?

Amanda: Okay, we are in a bubble here though. Half the country is pro-life. Pro-family values, terrified of radical Islam.

Fin: She's a troll, Amanda.

Amanda: Sure. But the more you dismiss her, the more you embolden her supporters.

Not to mention Lamar, who is both gay and black and while the movie pokes a little fun at him none of the nerds care at all that he's gay, he's still their buddy, which actually is pretty progressive for 1984.

Even watching the movie as a on the cusp of puberty kid I found the rape scene to be pretty uncomfortable and too sleazy though, the scene where they spy on the sorority sisters is all in good fun and was in keeping with the reoccurring theme of voyeurism in those comedies like Animal House and Porky's, but taking things as far as actually having a character rape a girl was definitely taking things a little too far even for 1984.

A stopped clock is right at least twice a day and sometimes a scene in an old movie isn't really defensible but other than that the movie is fine and it is at the end of the day, just a movie, which SJWs seem so quick to forget when getting outraged about media, it's not like anyone actually got raped.


Didn’t they try to reboot this in 2006? What happened?
The college they were going to film it at didn't want to support it after reading the script.

It wasn't the only failed remake of an old sex comedy in the 2000s either, after the success of American Pie I guess, Howard Stern tried remaking Porky's and I think there was even going to be a Last American Virgin remake, but I don't think a single one of those old comedies actually got a remake in the 2000s.

After Revenge of the Nerds, which next film will get a reboot? Fast times at Ridgemont High I presume?
As I said they tried remaking a few of those comedies of that era in the 2000s, but none of them got off the ground, however I wouldn't be surprised if the "woke reboot" era is when it finally started to happen, they recently came out with a direct to video American Pie movie that was from a female perspective.

Also they came out with a remake of Valley Girl not long ago as well.

Women today have no bush.

That one second shot makes the original for me.
First bush I ever saw onscreen lol.
 
Can't wait for the 16 candles remake where it turns out the main girl is a lesbian, the geek gets arrested for date rape, and the jock finds out he's a trans girl.
And The Breakfast Club is replaced by a bunch of black teenagers who act so oppressed by replacing old school rock and pop music like “Don’t You Forget About Me” with a song like this:

I remember even when I was really young people didn't like the rape-by-deception scene. It's not new.
