Missed Opportunities for SW in TV / Movies

SDK · 05-31-2017

Here's a list I thought of with shows / movies that either had poor SW content, or really could've used some...........

American Horror Story: Coven - Ryan Murphy's horror anthology series featuring witches would've been perfect, as Murphy typically likes to push sex/taboo. I could've easily seen Emma Roberts's character shrinking a woman and using her as a sex toy.

Big Bang Theory - This show has been on the air long enough that they're bound to start reaching for stories, right? Maybe one of the scientists accidentally invents a shrinking potion and one, or more, of the female cast gets shrunk. This one's still on the air, so one can hope.

Nightmare on Elm St - Part 4 had a kinda SW scene with the girl who was turned into a cockroach. I always thought it was implied that Freddy shrunk her when she was in the coach motel, but they could've done the shrinking a little better. Apparently, there was a shrinking woman sequence in one of the many scripts for Freddy v Jason.

American Dad - Still on the air, so it could happen. With some of the crazy stories, and the fact that the show is animated, I'm sort of surprised it hasn't happened.

Lois and Clark - The episode It's a Small World After All could've been legendary for SW fans. But it was a bummer. The episode featured two shrinking women. But, one was already small when the show began. At the end, the female antagonist gets a dose of her own medicine when an entire bottle of her potion falls on her, seemingly shrinking her out of existence. The actress played it really well, but the effect is awful. She screams, we see her lose a little height, then camera cuts away, and we just see a pile of clothes hit the floor. The one halfway decent process sequence was SM.

Weird Science (TV Series) - I sort of remember a brief scene with Vanessa Angel in the pocket of one of the male protagonists, and she mentioned giving shrinking pills to one of the guys. The scene cut to a pile of clothes with a tiny chipmunk voice coming out of it. But, I think this show could've explored SW a lot more.
