I suspect that the video game industryās obsession with DARKER, MORE āMATUREā STORY might have influenced the way I look at stuff like this gritty re-imagining of Calvin and Hobbes by GrittyReboots.
Like, it doesnāt need to be grittier and darker. But everything is nowadays! So I could totally see this type of Calvin and Hobbes working. I mean, the idea is clever, eh? What if itās not just having an active imagination but rather satanic visions or something? It sounds ridiculous, I know, but with the right writing, it kind of works.
