MTGPQ the movie

Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest MtGPQ General Discussion

Pick a well-known movie and tinker with it (or ruin it) by inserting mtgpq planeswalkers/cards into it :wink:

My example:

Original Movie: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Cast by:
Harry: Jace

Hermoine: Nahiri
Ron: Gideon

Hagrid: Garruk
Draco Malfoy: Sorin
Professer McGonagall: Jaya
Dumbledore: Karn

Snape: Tezzeret

Voldemort: Nicol Bolas
Dobby: Nissa

Remake: Jace goes to Hogwarts to learn to spell of infinite cascades, which was thought to be merely a myth. Nobody likes this and Bolas is actually the good-guy trying to stop this from happening. Gideon thinks he’s invincible (but isn’t) and knocks his head into a lot of things and gets hurt a lot. Sorin has a crush on Nahiri, Nahiri doesn’t like this so she turns Sorin into a newt. Karn goes super meta and realizes everyone is a figment of a bored wombat’s imagination. Garruk releases all of Hogwart’s animals on the students, thinking they’ll all be friends. The animals begin to attack the students and Garruk realizes he shouldn’t have done that. Nissa escapes and becomes a free elf. The day is somehow saved by Gideon, but nobody knows how, aside from a ton of luck.

Your turn :slight_smile:

But the real question is — what house does Jace get sorted into?

3

He’s a total nerd, of course it’s Ravenclaw. Dude literally lives in a library and gives himself inane riddles

4

Well he’s also a PW so brave - Gryffindor.

A pirate so cunning. Slytherin.

And a bit of width washy in his self identity. Hufflepuff.

The sorting hat is much more subjective than we realize.

5

Why does being a pw means brave?
He’s definetely ravenclaw. Gideon is cliché griffindor, Lili slytherin.

Nissa and chandra would be more interesting to examine. I’d put nissa to hufflepuff, and chandra in the forest.

6

Shouldn’t Nissa be in the forest? Either way, I’d put her in Griffindor and Chandra in Hufflepuff.

Its interesting how the houses and the color pie align

Blue/Green=Ravenclaw (intelligence/knowledge is defining trait)

Black/Blue/Red=Slytharin (ambition is defining trait)
White/Red/Green=Griffindor (bravery/comradery is defining trait)
White/Green/Red= Hufflepuff (hard-working/down-to-earth is defining trait)

Yes Red can be pretty much anywhere. Color of Chaos indeed.

7

Forest Gump

Garruk: Forrest Gump
Karn: Bubba
Jace 3: Lt. Dan
Nissa: Jenny

8

I’m really proud of yall for taking this level of ridiculous and running with it :slight_smile:

Slytheravenpuffledor?

10

And may Karn be Dumbledore. He must remain neutral to all houses.

Original Movie: Point Break

The remake, currently in pre production : Breaking Points

Cast :

Jace as Johnny Utah

Tezzeret as Bodhi

Kiora as Tyler

Gideon as D3 agent Angelo Pappas

special guest star : Sarkhan the Mad as Anthony Kiedis in a minor part

Jace is a former Yu-Gi-Oh! player who is now a rookie D3 Agent. With his superior the veteran agent Gideon they are assigned the mission to stop a gang calling themselved “the ex coalition leaders” who committed several event robberies. Gideon has the intuition that the gang are in fact Planeswalkers.

Following this intuition Jace goes undercover and persuades a young girl named Kiora to teach him Planeswalking. She introduces him to a group of Planeswalkers and their leader Tezzeret. He soon understands that they are the “ex coalition leaders” gang, but fascinated by Tezzeret, in love with Kiora and seduced by Planeswalking and the lifestyle associated with it (tinykitty, mana and rock n’ roll), Jace starts to become really confused (and to act badly in the movie);

The ex coalitions leaders plan to top an event one last time before flying to the beaches of southern Dominaria and turn casual until the next set. Jace becomes involved in the attempt but things go super wrong. During the escape flight the gang jumps off to sky-planeswalk and Jace planeswalks without a parachute to try to catch Tezz but fails.

Months later he finds Tezzeret again. Tezz wants to planeswalk during the Aether Storm of the century, a moment he has been waiting all his life. After trying to convince him to surrender and to become a competitive player again, Jace overcomes Tezz, but knowing he will not come back alive he releases him, While Tezz goes to planeswalk to his death, Jace walks away, throwing his D3 employee badge into the Aether waves.

12

I vote for Nahiri as Tyler.

(Good choice. Original Point Break is dope.)

13

Dumbledore was a Gryffindor!!!

14

I am confident that like the orignal the mtgpq remake will be both mocked and lauded, and subsequently will attain cult status

15

I’m loving this :slight_smile:

16

Thanks :-). Patrick Swayze made me think of another possible remake. I need to work on the script.

Spoiler : the central scene will come with the line : “Nobody puts Hixus in a corner”

17

I’m both excited and terrified at how this will turn out :wink:

Original Movie: The Labyrinth

Cast by:

Jareth the Goblin King: Sorin
Goblins: Squee and all 5,000 of his reinforcements

Sarah Williams: Liliana
Toby, Sarah’s baby brother: Jace

Hoggle: Sarkhan the Mad

Ludo: Ob Nixilis
Sir Didymus: Ajani

Head-bouncing Fireys: Group of Angraths

Goblin-controlled Robot: Karn
Every Random Faerie: Nahiri

Bog of Eternal Stench: Emrakul

Remake: Liliana wishes Jace away, sick of all his wining and crying. Sorin grants that wish, giving Liliana 13 hours to save Jace before he’s turned into…just another Squee. Through mazes and tunnels Liliana travels, recruiting several questionable friends along the way (Sarkhan and Ob Nix). Throughout their journey, Sarkhan plots to sabotage and destroy Lilana, only to continually fail by either poor planning or bad luck. Ob Nix loyally joins the quest, so long as he is allowed to eat every fairy they come across along the way. At the Bog of Emrakul Stench, they meet the fearless Sir Ajani, who offers to join their quest after being defeated by Ob Nix. The party welcomes him, but shortly after Sir Ajani joins, he trips on a rock and falls face-first into the Bog of Emrakul Stench, never to be seen again. Liliana flees the party after Ob Nix, who is bored and still hungry, decides to snack on Sarkhan. Liliana somehow is still able to make it to Sorin’s castle through the Secret Tunnel of Poor Storytelling.

At the castle, Sorin, the Goblin King and Lily face off. Sorin says he “lives without the sunlight and loves without a heartbeat,” and Lily is like “well duh, you’re an undead vampire,” and Sorin is like “well that’s fair I guess.”

Sorin says “Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave!” Liliana, having a soft spot for demonic pacts, makes a deal with Sorin and becomes the new ruler of the goblins. She’ll spend the next 4 seasons of this storyline trying to go take backsies on this deal. Everyone forgot about Jace and he was turned into a random Squee.

19

Oath of Teferi does.

20

Greg does too, when he casts it.

I kinda want to add Star Wars Episode I to this thread, but I mostly just want to put Squee in. Either as Jar-Jar to have him die repeatedly, or as Anikan so that a 9 year old surviving all those ridiculous situations actually makes sense. The only part I actually thought out was the pod-racing, where Squee would die several times over, and only win because everyone else died too, so he walked over the finish line.
