Fanscription is a Channel Awesome show, created by Walter Banasiak and Rob Walker of The Nostalgia Critic fame. It's essentially a Fix Fic show, taking movies that they care about but feel have problems, and making them better. Then they have a post-episode sit and talk, discussing behind the scenes. It's a monthly show, and they alternate the episodes. | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_11bc87bc | comment |
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Often applied when bringing new characters into live-action movies. It occasionally happens with animated movies as well, such as in the video about the hypothetical sequel to Monsters, Inc., which fancasts Aunt Cass as the adult Boo and Franny Robinson as the antagonistic digital Influencer character. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
"What If Ariel was a Siren?" takes the cake as the darkest one yet. Between Ursula actually winning and several onscreen deaths in both land and sea (including a graphic depiction of Eric's father being Eaten alive by the giant Ursula), it makes the original Hans Christian Andersen story look like Sofia the First in comparison. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Spider-Man 5 ends with Peter defeating The Lizard and the Spider-Clone, and starting a relationship with Gwen. Unfortuantely Miles Warren gets away scott free (with even Peter completely unaware of his involvement), Curt's mind has fully succumbed to the Lizard persona, leaving him to take the fall for Warren's misdeeds, and Spider-Man is still wanted by the police for his clone's crimes, and then on top of that, he finds a clone of MJ at his doorstep. "What If Ashoka Was In Revenge of the Sith" ends with Anakin brought back to the light, but he ends up tortured and killed by Palpatine, right after being forced to witness Padme's cruiser get shot down by Clone Troopers; also meaning Luke and Leia may never get a chance to personally know their father. Luke, Leia and Obi-Wan survive, but Obi-Wan is left emotionally broken by the circumstances, leaving for parts unknown as he feels he failed Qui-Gon, Padme and Anakin, and the Republic (requesting for Ashoka not to search for him); and Leia is poised to be raised as a servant of the Galactic Empire, to Palpatine's satisfaction. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: The title for "What if Luke Skywalker died in Return of the Jedi" (obviously), but the Fanscription also has it so that Mon Mothma would take Luke's place if no one liked the idea of Luke dying. In their take of Batman Forever, the Riddler blows himself up to try and take Batman and Robin down with him. The Spider-Man 3 episode sees Mary Jane suffer from this in the climax, borrowing heavily from Gwen Stacy's own death in the comics as Peter tries, and ultimately fails, to save her after she's dropped from a bridge by Harry. Kristoff doesn't survive the events of "What If Anna was the Villain in Frozen 2?" "What If Rufio Didn't Die in Hook?" answers the eponymous question by having Hook stab Peter instead. | |

"What If Ariel Was A Siren?" ends with Ursula taking over Alantica (and setting her sights on other kingdoms), the human kingdom being destroyed with its king devoured and its prince left for dead in Ursula's lair, and ending with Ariel, still cursed to remain a siren, going to Arendelle where she begins enthralling more people. | |

Franchise Original Sin: In-universe. A bit with his own bias because he’s firmly believing the 2016 reboot is just So Okay, It's Average, but Rob tries to point out with GB 2 that the guys who think it’s “SJW worst thing ever trash� are missing the point, and it’s just a symptom of Hollywood trying too hard to make everything post first movie accessible to kids. | |

By contrast to the Riddler, Two-Face is saved by a combined effort of Batman, Robin, and Grace in their version of Batman Forever. General Hux survives to the end of "What If Finn Was the Main Character in the Star Wars Sequels?", in contrast to getting shot in the back in Star Wars The Riseof Skywalker, instead being taken into custody by the Resistance following the final battle In addition, General Leia Organa also survives to the end of the same episode. | |

| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: Several of these stories hinge off of a single aspect either being present or not being present. Case in point, "What If Ariel Was A Siren?"'s major point boils down to the nail being Ursula choosing to instead amplify Ariel's voice to be that of a siren's rather than take it outright, resulting in her capturing Eric, using the blood of both him and Ariel to create an army of mermen to destroy the Kingdom, and take over Alantica in the process. | |

| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_82a64c4b | comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: One change made in "What If Harvey Dent Was In Batman Returns?" is making the Penguin more sympathetic. This is done by changing his implied serial child killings during his time as a circus freak to him robbing rich peoples' homes. He only resorts to child murder after a severe mental break caused by the rejection of wealthy donors to his political campaign, which he views as a betrayal — and even then, he only targets those peoples' children, rather than indiscriminately lashing out at every family in Gotham. | |

Karmic Death: Smee meets his end this way as he pleaded to Jack to spare him. As soon as he asks for some time to explain, he hears the familiar ticking of Tick Tock and as he falls into the ocean, he is devoured. | |

GoodIsBadAndBadIsGood | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_96e6876e | comment |
Good Is Bad And Bad Is Good: Used in a very specific way in Super Mario Bros 2. Wart's minions treat good, wholesome food as poison, and rotting garbage as good, wholesome food, as evidenced by Wario and Waluigi chowing down on rotten Super Mushrooms to become their giant versions. Mario and Peach combine Peach's vegetable garden (a takeoff of the game's use of turnips as Edible Ammunition) and Bowser's de-evolution guns into a potent chemical weapon. | |

Big Bad | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_970c790a | comment |
"What If Ariel Was A Siren?" has the Big Bad getting everything they wanted and more by amplifying Ariel's voice and making her a siren rather than taking it, resulting in her being able to manipulate Triton into attacking the human kingdom, destroying it and conquering Alantica in the process. | |

Values Dissonance: In-universe. While they’re both frustrated with how little Ernie Hudson is used in the Ghostbusters movies, Rob who grew up with the first one gives it a pass but younger Walter isn’t so sure. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: In What If A Live Action Super Mario Bros. (1993) 2 Happened? King Wart differs noticeably from the previous film's King Koopa. Koopa was more of an expressive and comedic villain while Wart is depicted as much more frightening and soft-spoken villain. Koopa ruled over a grungy Cyberpunk setting whereas King Wart's domain is more of a general fantasy setting. Lastly, Koopa was a white man in a black suit while King Wart is a black man in a white suit. | |

Dark Fic | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_a7559b25 | comment |
Dark Fic: A lot of the retellings can be a lot darker than the originals, like Rob has Luke die in Return of the Jedi, Walter has Scar raising Simba in The Lion King (1994), Doug’s version of Mary Poppins Returns has far more grief details or even Rob's version of Frozen in which Anna becomes the villain. "What If Ariel was a Siren?" takes the cake as the darkest one yet. Between Ursula actually winning and several onscreen deaths in both land and sea (including a graphic depiction of Eric's father being Eaten alive by the giant Ursula), it makes the original Hans Christian Andersen story look like Sofia the First in comparison. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Fanscription (Web Video) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The Pixar Elseworlds, in contrast to the Disney Elseworlds, are often just movies told in the same style as the movie they're based off. The rewrite to Incredibles 2 instead focuses on slightly older versions of the Parr kids going through life in comedic manners (such as Violet trying to break up with her boyfriend and failing hilariously or Jack-Jack joining a team of costumed vigilantes that have no super powers), a Screenslaver whose secret identity is not a twist, and overall a tone that would mirror the original Incredibles. The only dark thing about it is Screenslaver's ultimate plan and how he dies, but compared to what the original had, more or less the same in tone. The hypothetical sequel to Monsters, Inc. is more about what becomes of Boo when she grows up and drifts apart from Sully. A lot of light hearted humor with the overall villain plot being more similar to the original film than darker. It becomes even more of a point when the host for the Fanscription says that he wanted the film to have the feeling of Pete Docter's later works for the sequel. Much like the Incredibles 2 Fanscription, the only dark thing is the villain's endgame plan. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Several of the Fanscriptions end on this despite taking rather dark turns. Huge examples being Mary Poppins Returns ending with Michael and Annabelle getting into show business after they lost the house, Peter Parker meeting with Gwen Stacy in the Raimi version of the Spider-Man films after the death of Mary Jane, and a literal example of Elsa's warm smile bringing about a ray of sunshine after she was forced to defeat her sister. | |
