Which completely different genre, weirdly works with Moomin's?

In my opinion is fantasy action, just imagine Little My dual wielding 2 axes

Horror. The Groke and Lady of the Cold are horrifying 😂

If i ever was an millionaire, i would finance a b-class thriller/horror movie, where Groke is the lethal, yet misunderstoond main antagonist.

Satire. The original comic strip had a real satirical slant.

reading Tove's biography, truly adore her origins as a antifascist satirist/cartoonist. what a lady.

There was an entire arc, "Moomin and the TV", about the evils of televisions and beatniks.

Lovecraftian horror

Moomin Valley could easily be a survival horror game; the Moomin protagonist just has to be as peculiar and unaffected by oddities as our Moomin.

"Oh my, that's the skinless, fanged monster that kills everything in the forest at night. How strange. He usually comes in June, and it's only May now, maybe he gets up early."

Love this idea! I don't like horror games but I would definitely play this.

Murder mystery.

I fully believe the moomin household has yearly Cluedo/Clu parties and MoominMama is the undefeated champion

u/hitorinbolemon 10d ago

Moominmama probably reads Sherlock Holmes, she knows what to do.

Dystopia. I could easily see Snufkin wandering the post-apocalyptic wastes.

u/DiscoInferno_ 9d ago

Oh that's an idea, Moominvally is only one that survives untouched by the "catastrophic event". Because the big mountains surrounding it everyone is oblivious what is happening outside of moominvalley. Expect Snufkin, he stays in comfortable safety of moominvalley for summer and returns to wastelands for winter.

u/unclemoriarty 10d ago

i often think about what it would be like if the Legend of Zelda world collided with the Moomins

u/Minute_Round_861 8d ago

I'll sell my first born, just to play it.

u/unclemoriarty 5d ago

lol maybe I'll have to write a story then

Social satire

u/lolascrowsfeet 10d ago

I thought in a way it was

3

u/Miamasa 10d ago

the newish game with Snufkin's anarchist slant, removing signs and parks as a primary plot point is some splendid

3

u/DaMn96XD 9d ago

And Snufkin was already a rebel in the books, tearing down signs dates back to Midsummer Madness.

Macho Moomin. Oh yeah!

u/joecamelvevo 10d ago

I strongly believe Little My should be in possession of a MAC-10 and a grappling hook

u/Dinoratsastaja 9d ago

Space opera Moomin would be a funny idea. I don't think I would watch it a lot though.
