With the reboots of old movies being one of the trends of the latest years (with shitty results like Robocop reboot), Revenge of the Nerds would be neat for a reboot, especially since the geek culture has changed a lot since then. The question is: How would you make your ideal Revenge of the Nerds reboot? What kind of characters would you make at the roles of the nerds? And what kind of characters would you make at the roles of the bullies?
The sure thing is now there will be female nerds as well since it's a common thing now to see girls take interest to geek stuff whenever it is anime, mmo, comics and so on. And now we will have new kinds of nerds like the weeaboo, the popular model which is into cosplay, the bro gamer, the hipster and so on.

I wouldn't want this to happen at all, to be honest. Not because Revenge of the Nerds is some kind of sacred cow, but because the movies honestly aren't that good to begin with. Might as well start doing reboots for C.H.U.D. and Critters at that point.
Also, nerd culture is insufferable, and the last thing any of us needs to do is see it play out on a movie screen.

A modern Revenge of the Nerds sequel would involve Bronies and furries and I'm not sure I want to see anything involving that on the big screen. My constitution would not be able to take it.

It would completely flip the dynamic, too. The old nerds were being bullied for not being jocks. The new nerds would be bullying different sects of their own group for not being the exact same kind of nerd as themselves.

Make it so that the black fraternity looks at all these crazy fucking white people and goes to a better campus.

They don't actually bully others. 90 minutes of nerds flaming each other on internet message boards. Sooooo...4chan - The Movie? That would be hilarious. |

I get the feeling that "FurAffinity Account Suicide" would probably be the name of a chapter.
It'd also make for a great band name.

Would end in a sobering, unfunny montage of queer people and women committing suicide or being raided by SWAT teams. There is no joke in this post.
Nerds have become a billion times worse than jock assholes ever were. |

We can do better. We're all sick and tired of the immediate outrage and gatekeeper culture that permeates our little niche of society. It's all very exhausting. You might not be able to change another person's mind or habits, but you can change your own.
...but that new Joker news srsly does piss me off.

Like this? www.dailydot.com/geek/steven-universe-fanartist-bullied-controversy/Hey, it's not like straight guys haven't been SWATted, too, you know. True. Like a middle age family man that has been SWATted over having medical cannabis approved by doctors and a little kid that got SWATted over pirating music. |

Maybe a new Revenge of the Nerds movie would be cool. It would be very different of course, because of the reasons listed in this thread, but it might be an interesting subversion to have the nerds not necessarily all be good. It would be interesting to show how much nerd culture has changed, in both good and bad ways, since the '80s.
