...you mean it isn't one already?

He means in the context of a live-action adaptation. But yeah.
Talking of adaptations and questionable casting; Akima, as someone who clearly appreciates a fine cartoon, how do you feel about M. Night Shambles' The Last Airbender?
jwhouk:
I do think there's a basic plot for a movie:
You could go through the whole "When Marten Met Faye" thing, maybe updating things a bit (speeding up the inclusion of Dora, for example). The "Big Reveal" flashback begets Marty meeting Hanners, and Dora hooking up with Marten; then the whole Sven thing (which could result in an "R" rating for the movie).
Don't know if you could fit the whole Marigold/Angus/Faye/Hanners arc into the first movie, but you could try.

I believe your question has been answered;

* Actors over 30 to play high-school students.
* Actors the poster thinks are hot, regardless of suitability.
* White actors to play Asian characters.
Just goes to show how stupid forums are, right? It's not as if any of these things would happen in real life...

You never had a plot! That's the illusion!
WHile I'll admit I enjoy them, I also understand that the plots in QC are all at best temporary things. If you take a broad view of the strip, plots are usually transitory diversions that supplement whatever the hell is actually going on—usually fart jokes, commentary about what it's like to be an 'Indie Kid," a "Goth," etc., or simply the experiences of a twenty-something in the Naughts. If you want to get technical about it, QC is really a modern Comedy of Manners. It's all about how the characters interact. True, they've grown out of the 'stock' phase so that social conventions aren't as much a part of it as they once were, and plot has helped with this, but it's the interactions and observations that drive QC. In other words, plot/shmot.
If we're going to link this thread to WooToob, can't leave this QC Movie Trailer out. The sheer silliness makes it worth a view.
