    Not sure if Bad->Good is possible, but the other way around certainly is.

    Imagine BBC nature documentaries being voiced by Gilbert Gottfried instead of David Attenborough.

      I would watch the hell out of that haha. American Dad has a joke about the audio book of Plato’s Republic read by Gilbert Gottfried.

      I mean imagine the documentary initially with Gottfried and then swap in Attenborough… Bad to good right? I think there’s a point here about good films being easy to ruin in many different ways, while bad films are probably already ruined in several ways so fixing one thing like a voice is unlikely to save it.

      I agree. It’s rarely going to turn something abjectly terrible into a masterpiece, but it’s much easier for it to ruin something. Watch the clips of Darth Vader with David Prowse’s voice and ask yourself if that version of Star Wars would have been as iconic.
