The infamous butchered He-Man reboot had reminded me about this idea for a comic accurate cybersix animated series, where along with fighting techno's, fixed ideas, and the mad scientist's other creatures, she would also be fighting allied terrorists and criminal gangs who are working with him.
Unfortunately, the franchise is extremely prone to being highjacked to promote regressive leftist propaganda as said mad scientist is an escaped Nazi war criminal, meaning there would likely be attempts by said extremists to push conspiracy theories about neo-nazis/white supremacists.
It's a shame, though do you guys have any other examples of franchises that are vulnerable to this bullshit?
Dead Space.
The reboot's going to be awful, they've already pledged to "update" the characters & story.
The anti-corporatism message will be easily replaced with anti-capitalism.
That's what they did with Just Cause 4. Except instead of the typical anti-Communism message from the first three games, it turned into an anti-capitalist/corporation message
Instead of dismantling an oppressive dictatorship, you're dismantling a corporation that --gasps-- provides all the people on the island with jobs and homes so they can build weapons of war for them.
Unlike the previous games, where the islands had natural resources and job opportunities available BEFORE the dictatorships came to power, Solis appeared to be a poor, indigenous island before the Black Hand Corporation established base and built it into a developing country.
There is no Dead Space remake... ;_;
