See The Best Pixar Character As A Kick Ass Killer Robot
Wall-E, the titular star of Pixar’s 2008 animated hit, is a cute and cuddly little guy. Or at least as cute and cuddly as a robot can be. Spooning with all that metal, all those sharp corners can be a bit uncomfortable.
His partner in crime, EVE, is also on the adorable side. These aren’t badass Terminator, Cylon type of robots, they’re a kinder, gentler automatons. (EVE can handle her business, but still…)
But what if they came, say, a bit more battle-ready? That’s the basic premise behind a couple of pictures from artist Rafael Benedicto.
These images depict Wall-E and EVE as total badass killing machines. Don’t take our word for it; check them out for yourself below.
They make quite the duo, don’t they? The first picture looks like the poster for a big-time summer action movie. The hero, his arm around the heroine, both poised, ready to jump headfirst into some fast-paced adventure.
Wall-E’s journey is pretty epic, but there’s not a lot of ass-kicking going on. It could have been a completely different movie.
The next picture is just Wall-E, again, in a typical action-hero pose. Apparently, there’s a bit of Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger programmed somewhere deep inside our little buddy. The massive cannon mounted on his shoulder doesn’t hurt matters either.
Maybe Pixar should create a more adult-themed sequel. Wall-E could storm the galaxy, blasting things to pieces. In the end, he could save the day, get the girl, and make the universe safe for everyone—until the next installment, of course. This is just an idea.
Wall-E is one of the few popular characters we’ve seen that didn’t get a sequel right away and it doesn’t look like it will happen. That’s a rare things these days with the culture of Hollywood to take original IP and beat it into the ground until you never want to see the character again. But with Wall-E they’ve been pretty clear that the story was good as a standalone. There wasn’t any need for a followup.
That being said, if they ever went this direction, maybe there would be a cue from the above Wall-E pictures. Would it be so terrible to see them lighting it up in a barrage of bullets? Maybe not for the kids out there, but for those who were kids when the first movie came out and now want the character to grow up to? Heck, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, right?
