inb4 gb2 Tumblr or Sup Forums, retarded fandom, etc.

Unless you are really creative, Undertale can only work as a video game, not in any other material.

I'd make it a Patreon funded porn that spans across 30 minutes starring Chara, but instead of stabbing everyone with his knife, he stabs the entire main cast with his dick. Yeah, the skeletons will can it too, nigga.

it deleted my "&" between will and can for some reason oops

You could tell more stories in this universe with these characters and fans already do but the game's particular story is optimally suited to the format of a game, nothing else.

For me, John Goodman as Asgore and Wallace Shawn as Papyrus are essential. Maybe Neal McDonough as Flowey?

Pacifist ending is canon.
Make it a SoL with monsters in the real world.
Basically, Steven Universe with Undertale characters.

No no no no and sage

Choose your own adventure series with different paths that only air on different chanels at the same time.

I love that comic.

>Wanting the boring ending to be canon
>Not wanting the Mettaton ending where he turns the Underground into a glitzy dystopia
>Not wanting the ending where Undyne leads an army of monsters on a march against the surface world to wipe out humanity
Don't be a fag, man.

>Basically, Steven Universe with Undertale characters.
I don't think the world is ready for the autism this would unleash.

I would make hardcore furty porn and keep each episode before a 100 dollar wall. Morals are for poor people.

>creating an animated adaptation of Undertale.
Impossible

Now, an animated show about everyone's life on the surface, that would have a lot of potential. But the key thing is everyone. Do not make it Frisk-centered or Sans-centered. The perfect thing would be occasionally giving spotlight to everyone, including Frisk, Main 6, Mettaton'n ghosts and secondaries like Muffet and Monster Kid. Maybe some rare glimpses at what's Flowey's life like back there below.

Hell, the show could work as a comedy with muh drama thrown in so it wouldn't even be that risky of a format. This idea is so obvious it'll be a miracle if it never at least attempts to happen in any way, shape or form.

I genuinely don't think it could be done. Or not well at any rate. When the consumer is a passive observer rather than an active participant, the concepts of EXP, LV, SAVEing, and DETERMINATION don't really come across at all.

That said, I would really enjoy seeing an animated rendition of the Asriel fight set to Hopes and Dreams/SAVE the World. Bet you could make that look baller as fuck.

I just picked the easiest most obvious adaptation of Undertale. Not saying I would like it that way, it'd just be the one to keep the normal fags happy.

I would use the animators for Teen Titans Go, Hire a private writing staff based off Tumblr. And make it 100% SJW and P.C.

Overrated as a game, but a lot of fanworks really give the cast and setting life and that might be worth making a cartoon of. But I'd avoid the boring Canon.

By not making it.

Anthology Series of 7 tales.

>Tale 1
Basically a look into the life and times of Chara before they died. Maybe Chara and Asriel get into a prank war with Gerson and Asgore.
>Tale 2
A noir mystery following The child with the yellow soul searching for the king of monsters, and going across the Underground.
>Tale 3
A young prince named Asgore goes on his first date with the princess of his dreams. Things turn awry when Asgore and Toriel are abducted by humans.
>Tale 4
Alphys gets a new job as the Undergrounds Head Scientist, and quirky hijinx ensure when several of her inventions go off and wreck havoc in the kingdom.
>Tale 5
A somber take on Flowey's awakening as he encounters his father, maker, and mother. It ends with Flower making a new friend made of bones.
>Tale 6
10 years later, the human known as Frisk revisits Mount Ebott with several friends, and pieces together details they never picked up before. At the end, Frisk finally finds Flower, and accepts his offer to turn back time.
>Tale 8
Taking place in the Genocide timeline, this tale follows Sans as he silently stalks the chuld across the Underground. Will Sans be able to beat the child, or will the child destroy everything Sans fought for?
>tale 7
A bleak retelling of Gaster's past, post accident seeing how different life is without him. As the story carries on, Gaster starts to lose his sanity and forget who he is. It ends with Gaster handing Sans a letter, and fading away into the void until a human falls down again.

I want to fuck that cats stomach.

I'd give the characters enough development so that you don't have to slog your way through a 3-4 hour travesty of a game 3 times to get any sort of actual depth to them beyond their, for all intents and purposes, cookie-cutter personalities.

*TV show, whoops

Make it a crossover with The Simpsons

The biggest thing that I'd have to change is that I would change the gimmick from "retro video game" to "retro film". The plot of undertale only works as a video game and it's built very much into the DNA so you'd have to find a way to change that into an analog.

Maybe have it so that every fight sorta has it's own cinematic style. Maybe make it so that when Flowey takes over it acts as if the film burned through and (or like a DVD skipped and went back to the main menu) before revealing his photoshop form in a intense horror movie like fashion.

Maybe have "DETERMINATION" shown as an ability to rewind through the film. Maybe have Flowey point out that the viewer is just doing this for entertainment rather than out of a desire to be good.

It could work but you'd have to be VERY wise about how much time you spend on each section and what characters make it in and what characters don't.

Intentionally manipulate and embezzle Foxes money o he ends up with nothing.

>has it's own cinematic style.

*has its own cinematic style.

I would sooner let it be a live action comedy on TBS than have it cross over with the Simpsons.

God, even though I'd make it a mini-series, the time-travelling clusterfuck of a story will relieve all sense of tension and consequences for Frisk, unless the audience considers "remembering your sins" a viable punishment.

Repeating timelines is out of the question, that'd get boring fast.

I'd probably animate one of the post-neutral endings since those are interesting enough by themselves and are barely fleshed out besides a long-winded phone call, leaving enough room for artistic freedom.

a 2 hour movie
80% is Sans telling skeleton puns
10% is Mettaton showing his legs
10% is Frisk and Asriel having violent sex
it's also live action and black and white
no special effect, all cheap handmade costumes

I want to fuck that pussycat so bad.

>it's also live action

Make it a porn movie where fat disgusting user self-insert roams the land and raping all the female monster. With all the Sup Forums and Sup Forums bucks I could finance my alcoholism for at least six months.

>it deleted my "&" between will and can for some reason oops
Sup Forums does a number of retarded things exclusive to spoilered text.

>Steven Universe with Undertale characters
>I don't think the world is ready for the autism this would unleash.

> they don't know

I tried to play that game but I couldn't beat the final boss without fighting so I gave up

I don't feel like anything of value was lost

>I couldn't beat the final boss without fighting
wow amazing

Give Muffet a bigger role

Undertale would work better as a movie, desu

A straight action film. None of that pacifist bullshit.

It makes me sad that you are right.

I'd actually reveal the backstory in a clever way instead of dumping it all on the audience at the last minute in the final area.

I didn't fight anyone through the whole game tho, I was trying not to which meant my stats we're garbage

Get some Tem Armor and load up on health items. Make sure you saved Tori's pie.

>Who would you cast?
I got this. From my fancasts blog.

...

more like gb2 Sup Forumseddit since this is video lames and not comics

...

...

...

>cast an ugly fat guy for a pretty boy character
fuck off

I would make it an on surface sequel

>idris elba
What a lazy choice. He doesn't fit the role and the reason he was picked was because Elba does pretty much 50% all the black male roles nowadays. Bad fit and appeal to masses, whoever is responsible for these picture should be shot on sight.

Just realizing I didn't do a picture for it, but my idea was Sean Hayes (from Will & Grace) as Papyrus.

>Steven After Not Surviving
every time

>I don't know what voice acting is

No, my friend. Fuck on.

I only picked him for his voice.

Papyrus isn't sassy enough to be graced by Sean Hayes. I'd think that he'd be more of a Mettatron than Matt Berry.

And here's an Undyne alt for racists.

Not everything a gay person does needs to be sassy, but obviously we imagined these characters in very different ways.

You have a point.

how would she sound

Mimic the artstyle of the new Berserk
Laugh
Proceed to laugh as I do a lava level boat filler when the protag will never get off the boat.

Focus on the Metaton bits

metaton hosted recreation of game events.

It's an adult-aimed cartoon about Toriel escaping her prudish ways and becoming a sex goddess

FORBODEN

Be like those VN adaptation animes. Some Episodes are one route and other set are of another route ans so on.

this.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I mean kinda. Have em recap us on the last episode by acting it out but have the episode focus on him prepping for the kid and the events that follow.

Make Frisk a canon girl.

I thought it was a boy

And to clarify the order.

Neutral > True Pacifist > Merciless.

I'm actually certain this how everybody played it.

scrap it and make a cave story cartoon.

This.

has a man ever been more right?

Frisk is "non-binary" or some other snowflake gender busllshit.

It has to not involve Frisk at all and even then it will never reach the same depth and beauty of the original in the same way because Undertale utilized the medium for incredible storytelling.

...

Written, animated and directed by Rebeca Sugar

Let the world burn

So it's basically Alice in Wonderland

>Liking pacifist more than genocide make me a normalfag
some neutral endings are better tho

I thought that Firsk (And Chara to an extent) were meant to represent whatever gender the player is, thus the ambiguous design.

Kek, that would make people rage so hard.

it's just a player insert calm down bud not everything is tumblrized

how can you keep a straight face while typing all this?

t. tumblr

I think a very traditional cartoon, something like Clarence, would be a good fit for Undertale

You could have a nightmare episode that is about the genocide route

you're a fucking idiot.

Agreed.

Also agreed.

HOT FUCK THIS

I don't know how it would be done.

But it would feature Yoko Taro as Onionsan.

>How would you do it?
Probably in the style of a Disney Pixar film.
>What would you change and why?
Probably add a little context of why Frisk was at the mountain in the first place. None of that "abused kid running away from home" crap, but maybe they were playing with some friends and accidentally fell in or something.
>Would you add something?
Maybe a few song numbers.
>Who would you cast?
Papyrus - Dee Bradley Baker
Sans- H. Jon Benjamin
Undyne - Olivia Olson
Alphys - Kristen Schaal
Asgore - John Goodman
Toriel - Lisa Hannigan

That's all I got for now.

Easily, I have good taste.

haha you got me buddy high five

Pretty much this.

You miss the point of Undertale. It's themes and storytelling can only work in an interactive format.

False. You just mix up the meta elements so it goes from being aware that it's a game to being aware that it's a show.
>Flowey isn't the star any longer
