==Transcript==
:[ {{w|Sauron}} is in a nightclub, sitting unhappily at a table with a drink. The Beyoncé song "{{w|Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)|Single Ladies}}" is playing. Beret Guy walks up to Sauron.]
:Beret Guy: Hey Sauron. Why so Glum?
:Saron: Gil-Galad saw through me and threw me out of Lindon. Galadriel, too. I'll never rule anyone at this rate.
:[Single Ladies continues playing]
:Sauron: Eru created such beautiful creatures - Elves and Men and Dwarves - and all I've got are these stupid Orcs.
:[Music: 'cause if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it]
:Suaron: I mean, I -
:[Music: If you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it]
:[Sauron still sits at the table but an idea seems to have come to him]

Attempted edit:
The films represent a classic story of the underdog (in this instance, a child) defeating a much stronger opponent (the burglars) through his own ingenuity. In this strip, [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] suggests {{w|Reboot_(fiction)|reboot}}ing the franchise (where a new film is made that begins a series fresh, ignoring the previous continuity of the series, and usually with some changes to update or improve the series), which has become very popular and successful over 2004–2014 (with notable {{w|Reboot_(fiction)#Film|examples}} in Bond and Marvel franchises). Randall suggests that the reboot "reverse" the ages so that the protagonist is an adult and the burglars are children. This obviously wouldn't work well as a movie because it would mean an adult man using his much greater strength and abilities to harm children. Randall also suggests that, as it has been more than two decades since the original film, Culkin could again play the protagonist in the reboot, as he is now in his 30s.
