How about Ranma/Sailor Moon/Predator Vs. Aliens
Ranma and co. getting mixed up in a Predator/Aliens brawl is
fairly appealing, but the Bugs are what the Senshi would consider
cannonfodder by SMS ("BURNIG MANDALA!!" "SUPREME THUNDER DRAGON!!!" get
the idea?).
Urhm.... ahem. You seem to have forgotten something.. acid for
blood? Killing a bug in any way that doesn't instantly and _totally_
destroy the body is a BAD idea. You might be forced to do that simply to
survive in the short term, but the damage? *shudder*
Imagine, say, the Bugs take up residense in a water/power/service
facility of some sort. Massive destriction everytime a bug dies. AND, if
you've seen the upcoming movie, you'll notice that the bugs seem to be
intellegent enough to start _using_ their blood deliberately, as a tool to
cut their way out of cages and prisons.
Still.. it IS an excellent hook to hang a plot on.. the Senshi
come in shooting, without a care in the world.. _then_ discover they've
managed to kill innocent bystanders indirectly, simply thanks to the acid
melting a generator, destroying vital equipment, et cetera...
How would they react to that?
