>Adi Shankar (Producer of Castlevania/Devil May Cry Netflix) bought the rights for a Duke Nukem series
Oh boy

he's going to be gay, isn't he

>>713191295
No, because then Adi Shansaar’s plan of making him a toxic hetero male who gets put in his place by a bunch of female OCs wouldn’t work.

>>713191176 (OP)
Adi Shankar has done more to increase Indian hate than any single person

>>713191176 (OP)
>duke is a middle finger
giving him the most charitable interpretation here: i'm going to assume he means duke has edgy themes, ie pig cops, tits and ass, foul language, ultra violence, women being turned into alien baby incubators... if he actually means "lol duke is gay now" and "pig cops do a george floyd" then it's cooked

>>713191765
He produced the Netflix DMC series. You know, the one where America invades Hell and massacres the poor innocent demons to the tune of American Idiot.

>>713192167
brainstorming bad ideas for adi:
>pig cops are morally superior to human cops
>the babes save duke
>earth used to belong to the aliens and was stolen by humans in ancient times
>duke is a kissless simp that likes to have his balls stepped on
>duke signs an anti-nuclear weapon proliferation treaty
>duke gives up smoking and takes up vaping

>>713191295
duke is already gay

>>713192512
He's a jeet so he probably say the aliens raping and impregnating earth women was a good thing

>>713193452
i read this in dukes voice which means theyve already won

why did Randy Bobandy even buy Duke if he is too scared to make a new game?

Apu, why do you talk like that?

he bought it because he (allegedly) worked on it, but he's too busy remaking borderlands for the fifth time to make a new one

>game is set “modern day”
>duke is an out of shape boomer with his glory days behind him
>tries to do stuff like he used to but it’s played off as ineffective/outdated

>>713195870
>game
Obviously meant show

>>713191765
I think all he meant is that Duke Nukem was unapologetic to use his kind of term, that the game series just did what it wanted and made fun of everything including itself. It embodies the punk spirit as it were.
However I have no faith at all that he'll actually capture what makes Duke Nukem cool, which imo is that alongside the edgy jokes and vulgarness was a genuinely good guy that wanted to save people. Even Duke Nukem forever as bad as it was understood at least that, but my money is on him missing the point entirely and just making Duke Nukem a hyper masculine egghead who just spouts one liners without context.

>>713195870
To throw him a bone, I'm not sure how else you can make a new Duke Nukem story. The franchise has been a joke for 20 years and his last game was horrendous. The character himself threads a fine line of being laughable and cool that means if you just write him as a regular badass you're doing it wrong.

>>713195870
So ripping off Ash vs the Evil dead but emasculating Duke instead of making him a bit foolish but still effective

>>713196065
i kind of disagree. there's enough meat on the bone with aliens attacking earth to tell a fairly straightforward action story. i would go the opposite way of portraying duke as a has-been and have him be an over the top force of destruction, nuking alien motherships out of the sky, getting so juiced he tears aliens apart with his bare hands, etc

>>713195870
>>713196157

It's probably the best way to do a Duke show, ripoff or not. Duke having to relearn how to be a hero after all the new kids who blew him off bite the dust. He has to team up with the resurrected severed head of Dr. Proton to save the planet from evil aliens.

>>713196615
mite be cool so it's never going to happen because Adi is a fucking hack fraud shitter. He'll probably team up with some not hasan piker who keeps telling him not to be so sexist and creepy

>>713196615
Why would the best way to do a Duke show be to do something entirely different? Just make a new IP at that point.

>>713196578
That sounds too similar to modern Doomguy. Honestly I'm not sure how one should write Duke in a show setting without giving him some sort of character arc.

>>713197013
Entirely different from what? There's nothing different from Duke with that premise. He'd still be running around saving babes and blasting aliens.
He just has an arc and a sidekick.

>>713191176 (OP)
I don't think Jon St. John would let this douchebag ruin the character he loves voicing. Probably would not let that pajeet anywhere near Duke.

>>713197628
It would be the antithesis of Duke Nukem. Duke Nukem is the chad meme in person, he's the zero percent body fat masculine man that all the babes want to be saved by and that all the men look up into his world. He's a good natured narcissist with crude humour who can actually back up the threats he makes.
Turning him into a fat uncharming retard who ignores when the world is in peril just to stuff his fat face would change the entire character and make him utterly pathetic just like it did for Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker.

>>713197061
don't overthink it. people like duke because he actually does kick ass and chew bubblegum

>>713191176 (OP)
I hate this fucking pajeet fuck so bad he's going to ruin Duke even worse than DNF

>it's actually pretty fun
>Grabbag is one of the best FPS theme songs hands down, no contest
>mfw all the garbage duke has been forced into since
Just let the voice actor buy the IP and have another Build Engine Duke made what the fuck is the problem

>>713202848
>doesn't know about Jon St. John being an insufferable leftist with an unhealthy attachment to the character

>>713203459
I'd still trust a single boomer voice actor more with the character than I would randy fucking pitchford. At least would have a chance of a sense of creating decent gameplay.
