Retool	comment	The core of the Retool: Anything Can Be Changed! When a work gets started out the creative group are often experimenting with the particular tone they are going for. As they find a voice and better learn the talent that is involved alterations may happen to better suit the collaborative process. Among many things that can end up changing includes altering the premise and Driving Question, changing the cast, the setting moves some place more interesting, the tone skews darker or lighter, story structure finds its formula or a general emphasis based on what elements are working best. Anything is on the table to be "tweaked" in order to improve it, ranging from dropping superfluous characters early on to outright recasting them. This is generally the source of Early-Installment Weirdness. If it becomes a Long Runner similar things can be attempted later in the lifespan of the work in an attempt to feel fresh and stand apart, which may result in Later-Installment Weirdness. Most of the more well-known retools have external causes ranging from poor ratings to someone leaving the show to network fiat. But the reasons can also be purely creative: there might have been very little room for characters to grow, or the previously established rules hindered story opportunities, they accidentally discovered two actors with great chemistry for a Will They or Won't They? plot, or just plain thought "X works better than Y." Not everything changes in the process but they are usually marked by a particular installment setting up the new status quo; some retools are subtle, some not so much. After all, drastic retooling runs the risk of alienating the current viewership ("change is bad!")... but if it results in a new, much larger viewership, then then it is generally seen as a worthwhile trade-off. Many examples of retooling come between a show's pilot and the episodes made after the series is picked up. Others happen when a show isn't really getting off the ground or is in decline and the creators want to shake things up (which can lead to Jumping the Shark if done poorly and viewers realize they are running out of ideas). When done out of nowhere in the middle of the show, then you've got yourself a Wham Episode. A retool may also be the result of a Post-Script Season; the series ends up going in a strange new direction because all the prior conflicts were already resolved, and new ones need to be invented. In some cases, when the retool is so drastically different, you are asked to accept what came before in Broad Strokes. Quite frequently, a retool will include one (or more) Tone Shifts. The most extreme form of retool is the Continuity Reboot; one step below that is the Soft Reboot. See also: Retcon, Revision, Rewrite.

Season two managed to redeem some of them, but season three went in a different direction by having them Demoted to Extra, instead having Peter travel alone through the multiverse and team up with other Marvel heroes. Season four continued the trend into more serious storylines and also having Nick Fury and Nova, the two least popular characters, outright Put on a Bus until the end.

Retool / int_1429eb78	comment	All Japan Pro Wrestling's equally infamous "Puroresu Love" era(2002-12), in which the "real sport" presentation of promotion it was best known for the Japanese majors was abandoned as it was suddenly losing ground on that front to Pro Wrestling NOAH. AJPW took on a more "sports entertainment" approach to its shows in an attempt to win advertisement spots, sponsors and push merchandise. Unlike WEW, which took FMW from its highest to its lowest, "Puroresu Love" actually saved All Japan, despite being as equally derided by the promotion's fans. Nobuo Shiraishi's acquisition of AJPW from The Great Muta would see yet another downturn that necessitated Jun Akiyama's hostile takeover and another retool in 2014, also shooting to return AJPW to its Giant Baba roots.

Season 3 introduced an all new original opening sequence rendered in CGI, with comets and planets functioning and moving about, as well as the camera crashing through Ghost Planet Industries and navigating through the hallways. Season 4 introduced a "Begin Transition" screen that replaced the static "Start Feed" and "Interrupt Feed" screens and an alternate closing credits theme. In Season 5, the intro was changed to a black screen with "Waiting" in white lettering and music/sound effects that varied from episode to episode. Seasons 6 and 7 had various intros. The eight season brought back the original opening theme with occasional alterations in some episodes. From Season 7 onwards, the adult humor was increased and the characters would swear in some cases.

Retool / int_251e67c5	comment	The Detroit-era Justice League of America. Basically, Justice League wasn't as popular as it'd been in its heyday, so Gerry Conway got rid of most of the heavy hitters like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in order to focus on a younger, more diverse team of new characters like Vixen, Gypsy and Vibe. He was hoping to ape the success of the New Teen Titans and the X-Men, but it went over about as well as you'd expect. Thankfully, its failure led to a more successful Retool: Justice League International. The series was an action-comedy starring a new League with a more international purview, and consisted mostly of B and C-list characters like Black Canary, Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, with Batman and Martian Manhunter as the sole holdovers from the original team.

Retool / int_28c6afce	comment	Thomas & Friends had a minor retool in Series 5 when it stopped adapting the Railway Series stories it had previously been based on. A further retool was in Series 8 when a new theme song and story format was bought in, and many characters such as Duck were dropped with no explanation. In 2009, the series dropped models and created new episodes exclusively in CGI. In 2018, the series has underwent a major retool along with a new title: Big World! Big Adventures!. The narration is dropped completely in favor of Thomas talking of the events, Henry and Edward are replaced with female newcomers Nia and Rebecca, the episodes are more fast-paced and feature an Imagine Spot at least Once per Episode, and some episodes feature Thomas traveling the world, hence the new name. The episodes are also bookended with a sketch of Thomas presenting them as a flashback to a past event, and telling the viewer the lesson learned during that adventure.

Retool / int_2b4ed8de	comment	Yo-kai Watch got a retool as well, with the fourth film Yo-kai Watch: Shadowside - The Return of the Oni King as the starting point of the Shadowside Project, and Yo-kai Watch: Shadowside serving as a sequel series. The tone this time is noticeably more serious than the first anime, while mantaining some of its signature humor -albeit gags are less frecquent-, and instead focuses more on battles in addition to being plot-driven, complete with antagonists who appear in most episodes as opposed to the two-time Kin and Gin in the original series. Fittingly, the anime series now has a single-episode format instead of being broken in segments. As for the main cast, some of the human characters (Natsume and Keisuke) are Nate's children and three of the main characters are older than Nate (as at least two of them, Natsume and Touma, are junior high schoolers). The Yo-kai themselves also got a redesign on two forms both looking less cartoonish: The now default Lightside form and the combat-oriented (and much fiercer looking) Shadowside form, most notably with Jibanyan, Komasan, and Whisper. Yo-kai Watch 4 for the Switch featured Shadowside characters, and a line of toys -the Yo-kai Watch Elder and Yo-kai Arks- joined the Yo-kai Watch Ogre, Fudou Raimeiken and Enma Agito which were released at the time of the fourth movie.

Retool / int_2d311a08	comment	The '80s-'90s cartoon version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was retooled for its eighth season, going through significant changes in audiovisual style and tone. The episodes after the retool are commonly known in the fandom as the "Red Sky Episodes", since this was the hue the backgrounds almost invariably took. The story itself became darker, with the Shredder going from Affably Evil to total Big Bad and more threatening than ever, and the Turtles becoming wanted by the NYPD for failing to stop Shredder from blowing up the Channel 6 skyscraper. In the ninth season, the series received more changes. Shredder and Krang were Put on a Bus and replaced by Lord Dregg, who would became the main villain for the rest of the series. The Turtles also got a new sidekick named Carter, and there was also a new subplot involving the mutagen, that turned them the way they are at the very beginning, going wrong, turning them into large mutant monsters.

During its sixth season, its setting was changed from the present day to the year 2105 via accidental time travel. "Fast Forward", as the season was subtitled, featured a shift in art style (simpler) and in tone (lighter), and the abandoning of most of the show's supporting cast in favor of completely new characters. A second, milder retool occurred with the seventh season, which featured the turtles' return to present day, yet another Art Shift, and a new subtitle — "Back to the Sewer".

Retool / int_35c619e2	comment	Green Arrow started off as a campy Batman wannabe. But during the 1970's, he was reimagined as a more liberal, street-level hero with a social justice slant. He began crusading against societal injustices and became an advocate for victims of oppression, often with a decreased focus on the bigger, more bombastic threats he used to face in the pages of Justice League of America. The New 52 Green Arrow volume underwent one as well. The first year or so of the title brought the character back to his Batman-ish roots and had an increased emphasis on the Crime Fighting With Cash aspect. After this move was widely panned, Jeff Lemire took over the title at issue #17 and removed all of the corporate and high-tech trappings in favor of a Darker and Edgier street level feel.

In the 90's following The Muir Island Saga, the five originals rejoined the X-Men proper, and the X-Factor series was retooled into a government-sanctioned team of mutant superheroes led by Havok. Peter David later relaunched the title again in 2005 as a Noir detective title consisting of a bunch of former X-Force and Generation X members and led by Multiple Man, a veteran of the government team. It was Retooled again in 2014 as part of the Marvel NOW! event, with the book now focusing on a team of Corporate Sponsored Superheroes.

Retool / int_3adaad9b	comment	The Defenders went through this several times: It started off as a book with a fluid, non-committal roster usually anchored by the Hulk, Doctor Strange, Namor, and the Silver Surfer. At issue #125, the title was renamed The New Defenders and the roster was changed to a more official, government-sanctioned team consisting of Beast, Angel, Iceman, Gargoyle, Valkyrie, and Moondragon. Writer J.M. DeMatteis quickly left the title after realizing he'd sacrificed the book's more quirky, offbeat tone in favor of making it into another run of the mill Avengers clone. The title was revived in the 90's as The Secret Defenders, which featured a revolving door Heroes Unlimited cast. In 2013 it was relaunched as Fearless Defenders, an all-female team anchored by Valkyrie and Misty Knight.

When for various reasons (link here) they didn't think that was inherently funny anymore, they shifted it to a "carnival showman presenting the games industry freak show" style. In 2017, Jim announced that they would no longer write reviews for video games, having grown jaded of professional reviews essentially working on a Four-Point Scale (along with a few instances of overly rabid fans DDOS'ing their website when their reviews were not favorable enough for them). Instead, their "Jimpressions" videos would feature more in-depth analysis and critiques for games.

The second season ended on a cliffhanger with the local Mega-lo Mart (a Wal-Mart expy) being destroyed by a propane explosion. Four characters, including protagonist Hank, were inside at the time, and FOX told viewers that one of them would die. Ads that aired throughout the summer showed viewers a "behind the scenes" disagreement between Hank and FOX, which threatened to kill him off unless he agreed to allow the show to be re-tooled by moving it to Los Angeles and retitling it "King of the Hollywood Hills." Hank refused, and eventually got his way thanks to Bobby accidentally getting a hold of some compromising photos of a FOX executive. Of course, in reality, there was no such dispute and the writers had always known from the start who they were going to kill off (Luanne's boyfriend, Buckley).

It has shifted to a new fantasy format, which features the stories told during the "Outside" segment and extending them so that they take up the majority of the episode; the dance songs, field trips and playtime segments were removed; there is no prologue that shows the characters going to school; and the "Shop" and "Lunch" segments were incorporated into the story itself. Molly and Gil's in-between sketches were also removed, and Mr. Grouper now waves goodbye to the viewers after the story ends, and it cuts straight to the ending theme.

WEW ultimately put FMW into dormancy for thirteen years, during which time members of the roster experimented with which style was better before folding into the Apache army until it was time for FMW's proper revival, which attempted to go back to the roots.

In addition, women's matches on RAW, Smackdown, NXT and the PPVs began to increase during that period while women's storylines become more violent and are focused on pure hatred toward each other and not fighting over a male wrestler or a heel making fun of her babyface's rival's looks.

The most obvious one is cosmetic, they looked like they were being rotted out from the inside whereas their prior makeup was pale guys in armored suits. They then established the idea of the Borg Queen, because without a leader they are really just slightly more difficult zombies. Then it showed that they assimilate people en masse as well as technology, whereas in the TNG "Best Of Both Worlds" it was suggested that Picard was a one-time deal. And lastly, partially because of the existence of the Queen, they are shown to have a much greater sense of tactics and strategy that allow them to attempt the Time Travel plot, before becoming overconfident in their malevolence. But there is a reason First Contact is considered the best TNG movie.

Retool / int_67f3e2a5	comment	Retsupurae is centrally a channel of Slowbeef, Diabetus, and occasionally their fellow goons riffing off preexisting media, but the content has changed several times in its lifespan. It was originally born out of making fun of bad Let's Plays (hence the channel name, a corruption of the term), but quickly drifted into new sub-shows covering other content, such as video games in their entirety through pre-recorded longplays (in a subseries titled "Wrongpurae"), bad online Flash games ("Retsufrash"), bad creepypastas ("Crappypasta"), bad crowdfunding campaigns ("Kickstarter Nonstarter and "IndieNoGo)", and others. A lot of this had to do with the two main hosts' increasing discomfort with exclusively targeting Let's Players, partly because it started to come off as bullying, partly because some of the subjects they riffed attempted retaliation via false copyright claims, and partly because due to Retsupurae's increasing popularity, some were intentionally making troll videos to get featured on their channel.

However, elements of the live-action sitcom (Salem's backstory, the modernized appearances of Hilda and Zelda) were retained, along with the name of Sabrina's hometown (Greendale) from the animated series being incorporated into the comics.

Best Wishes played heavily into Revisiting the Roots by resetting Ash's competence to that of a rookie, and once again focused on Ash needing to learn the basics of training, as well as having Ash catch more than six PokÃ©mon at a time and putting them into rotation. In addition, this series made Team Rocket far more threatening than in previous sagas where they were everyone's Butt Monkeys. This particular element, however, didn't really stick for later sagas and they ultimately returned to being comic relief characters. Similar to Ash, their PokÃ©mon apart from Meowth (and Wobbuffet from XY onwards) are also deposited at the Team Rocket headquarters to free up space for new PokÃ©mon.

The line lost many of its signature traces, such as Kanohi Masks and elemental-powers (although the Elemental Nation-setting stayed), the new characters were mostly organic as opposed to mostly robotic, and due to LEGO's newer violence policies, the fights became actually gory. Yet, the retool failed: not only did all these new ideas come too suddenly, the story got tied back to the original within half a year, with the introduction of Mata Nui (the former Big Good) as the new protagonist. Now, the basic idea was to have him back as the focus of the rest of the new story, until the Grand Finale which would bring both the old and new stories to a close some years later. But Mata Nui brought with him way too much continuity way too early, which alienated new fans. Meanwhile, all the Retcons and needless explanations brought about upset some old fans. The line was canceled in 2010 with a very haphazard ending, although LEGO was reluctant to let it last beyond 2009.

The longer arcs were dropped in the second half of season 1, with episodes becoming standalone stories (aside from the occasional two-parter). As of season 2, the Merchandise-Driven trope kicked into full gear. A great number of side-characters were ditched without an explanation, the stories became even more generic, tied to toy-related concepts and every episode had at least 30 seconds of shilling the fancy tech he used. Episodes became more formulaic and a "Today on Action Man..." intro often spoiled the whole episode's plot.

Retool / int_79173146	comment	Web of Spider-Man was originally just another Spider-Man book. Writer David Michelinie and artist Marc Silvestri eventually came onto the book and gave it a new premise starting with issue #16, in which Peter Parker travels around the world with Joy Mercado on assignment from NOW Magazine. This premise didn't last long, because a two-issue storyline involving the Provisional Irish Republican Army resulted in a bomb threat in the building Marvel's offices were located in at the time. The second part was hastily edited to replace the IRA with generic terrorists wearing black hoods, and the creative team subsequently disbanded by issue #22.

When she married one of them, Dagwood Bumstead, he was disinherited, had to get a job, and lived a life more of the audience could identify with. On top of that, said husband essentially became the main character. As for Blondie, she's been a wife and mom with her own catering business for so long, it's almost impossible to imagine her as a flighty socialite. At least she kept top billing. Fritzi Ritz had a similar flapper theme, but was pushed to the side by her niece and the strip renamed Nancy.

Retool / int_8125b468	comment	Batman: After Batman Returns came under fire from parents, watchdog groups, and merchandise-tie-in companies such as Mc's for being considerably darker, more violent, sexual and disturbing than its 1989 predecessor (as well as not even getting remotely close to equaling its box office intake), director Tim Burton as well as star Michael Keaton and composer Danny Elfman left the series. In their place for the Lighter and Softer (as well as brighter) third movie, Batman Forever came Joel Schumacher, Val Kilmer and Elliot Goldenthal respectively. And after this direction proved disastrous in the follow-up film, Batman & Robin, the series lay dormant for eight years until a Continuity Reboot retooled the series again, putting as much distance as possible between the Batman franchise and the embarrassment that Executive Meddling had turned it into, resulting in Christopher Nolan's darker, more realistic, and more grounded Batman Begins, which became the first of a trilogy, The Dark Knight Trilogy, that was praised as a return to form for the series.

Retool / int_81692f99	comment	The Star Trek franchise features several notable film examples: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan retooled the franchise after the mediocre results of the first movie, by switching from "high concept" sci-fi to "action" sci-fi, bringing back a classic villain, and retooling Starfleet as more militaristic and naval-oriented than it was portrayed in the original series. The retool was wildly successful and paved the way for future Star Trek films and TV series. Star Trek: First Contact radically redesigned the Borg in many ways. The most obvious one is cosmetic, they looked like they were being rotted out from the inside whereas their prior makeup was pale guys in armored suits. They then established the idea of the Borg Queen, because without a leader they are really just slightly more difficult zombies. Then it showed that they assimilate people en masse as well as technology, whereas in the TNG "Best Of Both Worlds" it was suggested that Picard was a one-time deal. And lastly, partially because of the existence of the Queen, they are shown to have a much greater sense of tactics and strategy that allow them to attempt the Time Travel plot, before becoming overconfident in their malevolence. But there is a reason First Contact is considered the best TNG movie. Star Trek (2009) was more of a full Continuity Reboot than a retool, after the dismal box office results of Star Trek: Nemesis. The focus was changed to a different timeline following the (now changed because of Romulan influence) adventures of the crew from the original series.

They settled for a sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which had a Darker and Edgier tone and a mostly-new cast of characters.

Also, the jokes were less "random" than the first season. The show was also briefly retooled in the fourth season. The comic book-setting was pretty much abandoned (with the exception of "turning the page", though they really couldn't get rid of that, as well as the opening and ending themes), the show's TV studio setting was more apparent, the jokes in the Henry and June segments became less random and more "mature", and most of the "classic" shorts skipped a few episodes.

Retool / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Superman and his mythos have been retooled many times throughout his decades-long history, based on what DC perceived the market was interested in. In the 1950's, Superman became nicer and less snarky and smug. He became more powerful, which in turn led to the creation of new colors of Kryptonite and new weaknesses like red sunlight to offset his universal-level powers. His adventures became more sci-fi-focused, and new Kryptonian survivors like Supergirl, Krypto, the Phantom Zoners or the whole city of Kandor became permanent additions to the cast. In 1971, Julius Schwartz becomes the editor of the Superman titles and starts pushing changes right away. In Kryptonite Nevermore, an experimental "Kryptonite-Engine" made to provide cheap electrical power malfunctions, causing all the Kryptonite on the planet to become ordinary iron. Meanwhile, Clark Kent became a TV news reporter while an Evil Twin of Superman made of sand drained him of some of his powers. You can read the full saga here. Schwartz was forced to quickly backtrack due to fan backlash against the new direction, but some changes stuck: Clark worked as a newscaster for WGBS-TV until the 1986 reboot, Supergirl was depowered for a while in which she used a Kandorian exoskeleton to be a hero, the Legion of Super-Pets disappeared, and gimmicks like non-green Kryptonite, time travel, crazy science and super-criminals were written out or severely downplayed. In 1986, Superman undergoes a full reboot. His alien side was greatly downplayed, his powers were severely nerfed, Supergirl and the other Kryptonian characters were retconned out of existence and banned from continuity. In the early 00's, DC restored a lot of elements wiped out by the 1986 reboot. Superman's alien side was reemphasized again, Kara Zor-El was reintroduced as a troubled teenager, and Zod was reinvented as a well-intentioned extremist.

Retool / int_961b37e0	comment	The DC Extended Universe has been trying to do this since the disappointment of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as both it and Man of Steel were criticized for being "too dark" and "deconstructive". In particular, its sequel Justice League has a lot of soft Ret Cons (particularly regarding Superman's personality and how the world views him), and the movies coming after it are specifically aiming for a Lighter and Softer tone. The early movies were also criticized for trying to build its Shared Universe too quickly; later installments nod at other entries in the franchise but are designed to stand more on their own. Ironically though, the "unretool" Zack Snyder's Justice League was much better received than the 2017 theatrical version. Special mention goes to The Suicide Squad, following up from Suicide Squad (2016). Almost all of the characters from the first movie have been replaced (with a Suspiciously Similar Substitute in the case of Deadshot==>Bloodsport) and the plots are unrelated. Joel Kinnaman, who plays Rick Flag in both films, specifically said that the character was treated as a "blank slate" in the new one. So the two movies are presumably in the same continuity, but it's a Soft Reboot with some Role Reprises.

The first time was the fourth season, where the tone became lighter, due to brighter animation, the use of less intense background music, hidden adult humor being greatly reduced, and Angelica going from Jerkass to Jerk with a Heart of Gold. The episode title cards also changed from red to black. Rugrats would be retooled again in the sixth season, mainly due to the birth of Dil. Many of the episode's plots started to revolve around Tommy's relationship with Dil. The show would be retooled the third (and final) time in the seventh season, where Chaz is now married to Kira, introducing her, her daughter Kimi and their dog Fifi. Much like Tommy and Dil before, many of the episode's plots would revolve around Chuckie's relationship with Kimi. Grandpa Lou also moves out of the Pickles' house.

Retool / int_a34863aa	comment	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The '80s-'90s cartoon version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was retooled for its eighth season, going through significant changes in audiovisual style and tone. The episodes after the retool are commonly known in the fandom as the "Red Sky Episodes", since this was the hue the backgrounds almost invariably took. The story itself became darker, with the Shredder going from Affably Evil to total Big Bad and more threatening than ever, and the Turtles becoming wanted by the NYPD for failing to stop Shredder from blowing up the Channel 6 skyscraper. In the ninth season, the series received more changes. Shredder and Krang were Put on a Bus and replaced by Lord Dregg, who would became the main villain for the rest of the series. The Turtles also got a new sidekick named Carter, and there was also a new subplot involving the mutagen, that turned them the way they are at the very beginning, going wrong, turning them into large mutant monsters. Like its predecessor, the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series was eventually retooled. During its sixth season, its setting was changed from the present day to the year 2105 via accidental time travel. "Fast Forward", as the season was subtitled, featured a shift in art style (simpler) and in tone (lighter), and the abandoning of most of the show's supporting cast in favor of completely new characters. A second, milder retool occurred with the seventh season, which featured the turtles' return to present day, yet another Art Shift, and a new subtitle — "Back to the Sewer". The third animated series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also eventually retooled, which happened after the fourth season, where the show was retitled Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Splinter and Shredder were now dead, as were Kraang Prime and Sub-Prime. The theme song was also changed. Unlike the past seasons, every episode was now part of a mini-arc. The show lasted only one more season after the retool.

The first two games do dabble in advanced elements for the time, with thriller plots, postmodern elements and very inventive gameplay, but had Snake as an Action Genre Hero Guy, and a goofy, 'video gamey' tone. For Solid, established character designs and lore that was mainly All There in the Manual were discarded and replaced with the work of Yoji Shinkawa, who has a very distinctive and unusual style that caused a dramatic shift in the feel of many characters. The tone of the series maintained its signature goofy humour but got much more cinematic and emotional, and plot elements like Snake being a clone and wrestling with the morality of what he was doing became prominent. The Video Game 3D Leap divorced it further from its predecessor, technical innovation made voice acting possible for the first time, and most of what happened in the previous two games was pushed into Broad Strokes.

The Franchise Codifier would be set with Stardust Crusaders changing the format from arc-based journeys to a Villain of the Week manga with overarching plots each arc, as well as better balancing out the comedic and dramatic portions. Of course, Stardust Crusaders' biggest change was the introduction of Stands, psychic entities/superpowers. Prior to this, the manga was about fighting vampires or, in Part 2, the super-powered race that mixed with humans to create vampires in the first place. From Part 3 and onwards, it's all about fighting Stand-Users, and though the Big Bad is a vampire, much more focus is put on his Stand, THE WORLD!

Retool / int_b3157d78	comment	Tomahawk had two retools towards the end of its run. First, the comic was changed from "hey kids isn't Davy Crockett cool?" to "the Howling Commandos in the Revolutionary War", with Tomahawk gaining a colorful supporting cast and a direct affiliation with the Continental Army. After about five years of that, the book (retaining the same title and numbering) jumped forward some 40 years and focused on Tomahawk's son Hawk, with the still-living Tomahawk being Hawk's mentor/sidekick. "Hawk, son of Tomahawk" didn't last too long, as the book was canceled within a year of Hawk's introduction.

Retool / int_b4967d43	comment	The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has undergone two notable retools in its lifespan; the series took a hiatus after the release of the 3rd game with no real major releases outside of spin offs and ports, skipping the Video Game 3D Leap that occured in the 5th generation of gaming. It wouldn't be until 1998 that Sonic would make it's proper 3D debut with Sonic Adventure, in which the characters were redesigned, given voices, and the plot took a turn for the dramatic. This would hold true for the next couple of years of the series until declining reception would cause the series to undergo a second retool after the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). There was no major redesign this time, but the series would gradually phase out staples that were established with the aforementioned Sonic Adventure, namely the wide open and explorative gameplay, additional playable characters with their own unique playstyles were Demoted to Extra aside from Sonic himself, and the plots became more whimsical and lighthearted in nature focusing more on comedy than drama.

Writer David Michelinie and artist Marc Silvestri eventually came onto the book and gave it a new premise starting with issue #16, in which Peter Parker travels around the world with Joy Mercado on assignment from NOW Magazine. This premise didn't last long, because a two-issue storyline involving the Provisional Irish Republican Army resulted in a bomb threat in the building Marvel's offices were located in at the time. The second part was hastily edited to replace the IRA with generic terrorists wearing black hoods, and the creative team subsequently disbanded by issue #22.

Almost all of the characters from the first movie have been replaced (with a Suspiciously Similar Substitute in the case of Deadshot==>Bloodsport) and the plots are unrelated. Joel Kinnaman, who plays Rick Flag in both films, specifically said that the character was treated as a "blank slate" in the new one. So the two movies are presumably in the same continuity, but it's a Soft Reboot with some Role Reprises.

While Kratos is still the protagonist, he is markedly different than he was in the previous games; he has not only grown a thick beard but possesses a more controlled demeanor in contrast to the vicious vengeance-obsessed brute that he used to be as well as raising a young son named Atreus. While the game is still an action game, the combat is massively overhauled, taking more inspiration from Dark Souls and less from Devil May Cry as well as putting a bigger emphasis on exploration and loot-gathering.

The series' tone and writing became even Denser and Wackier than before, with less of the slapstick-style Black Comedy and more of the random humor, and the setting became less Hell-like, with Funny Animals and Animate Inanimate Objects being used for more than just one-off jokes. The main characters also underwent Flanderization, some secondary characters largely disappeared (like Saffi) or were given more screentime (like Dr. Scientist) while a few new ones were introduced (like Peep), and on a more minor note, about half of the background demons used in Season 1 were replaced with new monsters. Ultimately, fan reception to all this was mixed, with some feeling the show remained enjoyable and others believing the results were a textbook case of Seasonal Rot.

Retool / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball repeatedly changed the story's basic focus at different points of its history: The first storyline was a comedic adventure with episodic stories and more of an ensemble cast. After the first summoning of Shenlong, the story switches gears, becoming a more straightforward action story with the focus being almost entirely on Goku, a format the series stuck with until the very end. Looking back it's almost hard to believe Bulma, Oolong and Yamcha were major characters. Several years later, the King Piccolo saga made story become far darker in tone, more focus being placed on defeating the main villain than gathering the Dragon Balls, and The Hero requiring a power-up to defeat said villain. The following Piccolo Junior Saga is considered a sort of transitory stage. Though the Time Skip it started with wasn't longer than one before, it was the first that gave everyone has a growth spurt or new look. The main characters make prominent use of Ki Manipulation during the World Martial Arts Tournament, while before only they were mostly last resort trump cards. The series past then, around the five years mark, shifts even more dramatically with a longer Time Skip to when Goku has a four-year-old son. The series became much more focused on fighting 24/7, several of the past characters had their roles reduced or were outright dropped, the series gave bigger spotlights to some of the current supporting characters while often shifting Goku to the background at times, and added a much more sci-fi feeling by revealing that Goku and Piccolo Jr. are both aliens. It's not surprising that these changes in the manga were what led to the anime being renamed Dragon Ball Z.

Retool / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Series: Major retooling for the anime began after the Johto saga, when Ash would leave most of the PokÃ©mon he carried with him at Professor Oak's and travel to the new region with just Pikachu. This is meant to create room on his team for PokÃ©mon from the latest generation of games. The Hoenn saga would also introduce a secondary plot where Ash's female companion who's also a player character in the games would compete in competitions that are different from Ash's usual badge quest. Another massive retool occured for Best Wishes, which in this case was nothing short of a Soft Reboot of the entire show. Best Wishes played heavily into Revisiting the Roots by resetting Ash's competence to that of a rookie, and once again focused on Ash needing to learn the basics of training, as well as having Ash catch more than six PokÃ©mon at a time and putting them into rotation. In addition, this series made Team Rocket far more threatening than in previous sagas where they were everyone's Butt Monkeys. This particular element, however, didn't really stick for later sagas and they ultimately returned to being comic relief characters. Similar to Ash, their PokÃ©mon apart from Meowth (and Wobbuffet from XY onwards) are also deposited at the Team Rocket headquarters to free up space for new PokÃ©mon. Sun and Moon has had another one of the most drastic changes to the anime. Due to gyms not existing in PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon, instead of traveling from town to town challenging gyms with 2 or 3 companions following his journey, Ash attends a PokÃ©mon School with several classmates and he is also competing in the Island Challenges that's unique to Sun and Moon. PokÃ©mon Journeys: The Series features the biggest overhaul so far, as it isn't a purely a PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield adaptation. While content from the latest games is featured, the plot has Ash travel all over the world as an assistant to a professor, with a new companion whose goal is to catch all the known PokÃ©mon so far.

This series ran for 32 issues, between 1997 and December 1999. The new series incorporated elements from the live-action sitcom, including modernized fashions and appearances for the aunts, and Salem's personality and backstory. Starting in January 2000, Archie rebooted the series from #1, this time based upon the 2000 animated series (the final issue of the 1997-1999 series had acted as a transition between the two adaptations). This new title was simply titled Sabrina and lasted for 37 issues; issue #38 acted as a transition issue, as the series was retitled Sabrina The Teenage Witch and resumed the conventional high school setting. However, elements of the live-action sitcom (Salem's backstory, the modernized appearances of Hilda and Zelda) were retained, along with the name of Sabrina's hometown (Greendale) from the animated series being incorporated into the comics. Again in 2004, with issue #58, the comics were taken over by Tania del Rio with her manga-inspired art and design style. Concurrent with this, the comic ceased to be connected to either the live-action or animated series. The comics were then released featuring new characters and a slightly more serious, continuity-heavy plot. The manga Sabrina story wrapped up at issue #100 in 2009, albeit with a few unresolved subplots.

There were in-show reasons given for most of the changes. This was also played with in-show, with the James Bond Ersatz "Smash Adams", who was retooled into a fat and bumbling secret agent.

Retool / int_ee66462b	comment	Dr. STONE had one early in its run. Initially the protagonist was Taiju, and a lot of the drama was just based on the fact that he Cannot Spit It Out to his Love Interest, Yuzuriha. Eventually the creator seemed to realize that their friend Senku was more interesting, and that a post-apocalyptic shonen story probably needed a different focus, so Taiju and Yuzuriha were temporarily Put on a Bus while Senku discovered Ishigami Village and converted it into the Kingdom of Science.

Retool / int_ef7b3325	comment	Following the death of Johnny Storm, the Fantastic Four had undergone a temporary change with them becoming the Future Foundation. This had involved them donning black and white uniforms, adding Spider-Man to the team to replace Johnny, who had specifically named his old pal Spidey for the position in his will, bringing Doctor Doom and Mister Fantastic's time traveling father along for the ride and becoming a sort of superhero think tank. This new series ended up being well received. In the late-1980s, Steve Engelhart tried to spruce things up with the 'NEW' Fantastic Four, with Reed and Sue Put on a Bus and replaced with Crystal and the second Ms. Marvel.

Retool / int_f2da188a	comment	The Batman went through a lot of trouble, living in the shadow of the above-mentioned show. The first two seasons focused on Batman's tensions with the police, and had Ellen Yin, a cop based on minor comic character Ellen Yindel, as the Deuteragonist. She proved a Base-Breaking Character, so she vanished after that, save one mention. Seasons 3-4 had Commissioner Gordon take over the police and added Batgirl and then Robin to the cast. Then a second retool came at the end of season four, introducing other superheroes to the setting, so that season five often had Batman teaming up with another superhero to fight a member of that hero's Rogues Gallery. (Word of God calls that their "Justice League season.")
