The Lone Ranger

[Justin Grove 16]

Just saw the movie over the weekend and can safely say I'd like to see a Lone Ranger world in Kingdom Hearts III, with John or Tonto as a party member. Butch Cassidy would be the villain you fight. I mean, they did a Pirates world, so why not? 

 

I imagine there would be a part similar to Mulan's world in KHII where you come out and the town is destroyed, except it would be all the natives slaughtered by the Calvary.

 

What do you guys think? I think it's plausible.

yeah...it would be awesome! the second appearance of Johnny Depp in KH

It is possible, but so far, The Lone Ranger has not been very popular. Pirates on the other hand, was a huge hit. Also, cursed pirates are a much more child-friendly villain than a cannibal. That could play a huge part the chances of The Lone Ranger showing up in KH

Tbh, the KH series just gets darker and darker as it goes, and since half it's major fanbase who started it in 2002 are all grown up now, I really feel like the 3rd one should be rated Teen at least. 

 

Keep in mind KHII was rated E10+ not E. Because of the darker tones of the Organization and the obvious references to death, not to mention a few of Barbossa's lines about "pleasurable company"

 

And when I went to see TLR, that was first time in a long time the audience applauded at the end of a movie I saw in theaters.

It might be rated teen though I doubt that. And the original fanbase is older yet there will be new fans who are younger.

 

E10+ did not exist until March 2005 by the way. Many games that were on the fence of E or T go into E10+ now. KH1 probably would have been E10+ originally too. Personally, I think the lone ranger looks great and people may have applauded when you saw it (I don't really like when people do that in a theater, myself) but there was applause when I saw the recent star trek, man of steel, the hobbit back in the fall, life of pi, the dark knight rises, and many other movies so I don't consider that to be a "rare" occurrence, especially on an opening weekend. Its pretty common these days unless the movie just bombs. As far as reception of the lone ranger goes, it hasnt been great. It didnt make that much money in it's opening weekend compared to the cost of production. Technically, it will not be considered a successful film because of these things. This of course does not mean it's a bad film. 

 

I agree, I think it would be a cool world in Kingdom Hearts. Pirates in KH2 even had Barbossa drinking alcohol. But when they use worlds, they try and stay true to the events that take place in the movies themselves, and I don't see them likely using a villain who takes a bite out of someone's heart.

 

Maybe I'm wrong and they would be willing to do that, but in a video game, that might move it to a Mature rating, as that is considered fairly gruesome.

 

Of course everything at this point is speculation, and I think it would be cool, but I think it is unlikely. Just my opinion

I think it's unlikely but you never know. I didn't think pirates would be in the series either.

I heard The Lone Ranger wasn't that great...BUT Disney Infinity had it and it would be Johnny Depp's second appearance! I mean I wouldn't care if they did but i'd rather they didn't.

[jorrell3946 70]

That would be sweet if that happened.

[Kingdom Hearts Gaurdian 7]

The lone ranger just doesnt have that child friendly stamp that the kingdom hearts series requires.  Otherwise, I'd say sure, go for it.

Wouldn't it be weird to have 2 KH characters look almost exactly the same? (Jack Sparrow and the character Johnny Depp plays in The Lone Ranger)
