Basic Trope: A work in a franchise that ignores everything that came before it.
- Straight: Alice and Bob 2008 is a reboot of the Alice and Bob film franchise, retelling the story of their first battle against Emperor Evulz.
- Exaggerated: Alice and Bob 2008 changes so much, it borders on being an In Name Only take on the franchise.
- Downplayed:
- Alice and Bob 2008 doesn't reboot the franchise per se, but does give previous films the Broad Strokes treatment so it can be viewed on its own.
- Alice and Bob 2008 acknowledges the first two films, but gives Canon Discontinuity to 3 and 4.
- Justified:
- Alice and Bob suffered a Franchise Killer and the company decided to wipe the slate clean rather than attempt to continue.
- Alice and Bob is adapted from a book series of the same name, and Alice and Bob 2008 is a Truer to the Text take made by a separate studio.
