"Blood thirsty, shape-shifting ancient reptilians seek power, money, and inter-dimensional world domination with their multi-millionaire food company "Exobite" after discovering an alternate dimension named "Strawberry Land", a world inhabited by food brand mascots that come to life once sold in stores."

For the past weeks, I've been working on this litte project meant to be a "reimagining" of sorts of the universally despised animated movie 'Foodfight!', as a graphic novel that will be hosted on this very website. It'll be my first ever publically released long length story, illustrated and written by me (N00BA).

It's still on it's very early stages of production; Hell, I haven't even finished writing the script. But the general vision of what the novel will be is already mostly finished.

The most notable changes I'd like to talk about are the character removals, since... Well, there's a lot of them.

To make a long story just a teeny tiny bit shorter, here's just the full list of every single character removed:

The reason why I removed most of these characters was because... Well, they were completely useless.

With the new story I've been planning, I just couldn't find a place where I could squeeze them in, the story worked just fine (if not better) with just Dex, Sunshine, and the Lieutenant as the only main characters (not to mention some of these characters were also racist stereotypes; What is this, early Looney Tunes?).

With Lady X and the X-O-Bytes though it's a different story. I originally was unsure whether to add Lady X or not onto this new story, but decided to wipe her out completely after seeing that she was made as a fetish character by Larry Kasanoff. Sorry, but I just don't want this... Cartoon porn actress on my movie to novel adaptation.

The X-O-Bytes weren't really "removed" I'd say, but rather replaced by the cyborg reptilians, and I re-used a slightly differently spelled version of their name as the new name for the antagonistic company. (as mentioned on the short summary on the top of the page).

Now, this doesn't mean that the characters that WERE left in are completely intact, each one of them has recieved major redesigns to better fit the tone of my vision for this novel.

Starting with Dex Dogective, or rather Detective this time around: I always found it weird how normalized it is in movies to make dogs fall in love with cats; They're completely different species after all, It's like if I tried mating with a hippopotamus. So, I made made Dex a cat so he could better match Sunshine. Of course, I also made him look less... Buff. I redesigned Sunshine before I had redesigned Dex, and Sunshine's new design was a lot more cartoony and much less humanoid, and I didn't want this cartoony looking girl in a relationship with this weird cat with a human body, so I made Dex smaller and more stubby looking with Rayman-esque proportions.

Now with the Brand X baddies, or rather 'Exobite' baddies: Since Lady X and General X have been removed (really original character names BTW), the main villain is now Lieutenant X (Now just named 'The Lieutenant') and his army of cybernetically enhanced, hundred year old reptilians.

In this version of Foodfight, the Lieutenant is a giant, slug-like reptilian that uses a giant mech with spider legs due to his lack of limbs (as is the case for all the other reptilians).

He was raised by the previous leader of Exobite, and due to his violent nature he was given a metal collar that keeps him from shape-shifting into his true self, unless it's somehow deactivated. He uses his shape-shifting abilities as a way to keep his identity hidden in the real world as 'Mr. Clipboard', aswell as for tricking Dex.

As for the weird reptilian thing, that came from me looking at the original Lieutenant and thinking "Hey, why is he the only one that looks like this? Wouldn't it make more sense if everyone else was a reptile too?".

You also might've noticed from the short summary that instead of the city being set in a supermarket, it's set in an alternate dimension. (Hence why I also renamed their world to 'Strawberry Land')

I simply made this change after immense confusion from how Marketropolis or whatever it was called worked.

How can the Ikes see from their shelves? How are they able to go out into the real world? If they can see from their shelves, can they see double when out into the real world? Does this apply to all supermarkets? If so, does this mean that clones of Dex and others exist in other supermarkets with their products? If an Ike were to die, what would happen to their products in the supermarket? How was Mr. Clipboard able to enter Marketropolis? So many questions with 0 answers, it's a mess. Also, this dimension is FOOD BRAND ONLY, so no Mr. Clean getting dirty jokes here unfortunately.
