#tinker bell rewrite project

[bvnnyb3ast]

why is it so difficult to come up with a new plot for the tinker bell movie 😔

[nightrae13]

Five times Tinker Bell and Terence hid their feelings for each other and once they didn’t.

Casually dropping this fic because someone is so amazing enough to fill in the void Tinkerence left in my heart. It's on Tink's POV, and details how they became best friends since the first film up until they finally get together with some nods to films when his presence was barely acknowledged (yey!) I just love how canon-compliant this is since past fics I've read just rewrites their dynamic which is major "bleh" since their friends-to-lovers potential is perfect the way it is.

Master Post

Hi! Welcome! This is where you can find all of my work and things related to it. There will be links to fanfics, Spotify playlists inspired by some of my fanfics, and some art I made to compliment my fanfics. No comics or anything, I usually go for more artsy stuff than telling a story via art. That’s what Google docs is for!!! Anyway on with the list.

Redbubble ⬇️ 🛒

[currently there are no ROTTMNT designs, see this post. Check out my other original designs on my shop!]

Healing Promises - Completed

Healing Promises is the first fanfic I ever made, so it’s not the BEST quality. I’ve gotten better. The POV moves around a lot and I shoves a bunch of different tropes in here. I tried to make it funny, i don’t think it worked. You can see a summary of it in the link, it’s finished. When I first started writing it, I got inspired by an animatic. So I expanded on that idea, not really expecting it to be a big thing yet. Had no plot planned, it just kinda. Formed. It was SUPPOSED to be a fanfic where Leo faces struggles, confronts some problems, and finally starts the path to healing. But I don’t think I did it right .-. I’m not kidding when I say I WISH I could rewrite this better because it turned into such an interesting plot but I just executed it poorly compared to what I now know I can do. But a lot of people seem to like it so. It exists.

A photo I made for Healing Promises. No I do not care about it enough to add a watermark lol it’s a stupid drawing but I think it’s funny.

The Silly Room - Completed

This story is about Raph’s trauma with the Krang. Specifically the aftermath. He may have gotten rid of the Krang gunk that physically consumed him, but it’s only a matter of time before Krang One works his way back into Raph’s head via the Krang hive mind he’s still attached to and tries to take control a second time. Donnie is working to find a way to stop this,researching what’s going on in the first place, and faces his own fair share of struggles as he watches his brother get worse and worse. As things progress, the use of trigger warnings will become more regular. Mainly descriptions of violence and medical emergencies.

This story has a more cemented POV. Mainly Raph, but I rely on Donnie’s POV for a decent chunk of the story for a bit. It’s more than twice as long as Healing Promises is, and has a better plot and pacing if I do say so myself. I REALLY wanted heavy Raph angst and so I made it and I love it.

This is the cover for The Silly Room. You can find other art for this fanfic under the tag “The Silly Room”.

Here’s a playlist I made based on The Silly Room! Think of it like a trailer of sorts. This is the kind of vibes this story gives off. Fair warning, I was going for creepy manipulative possessive vibes. So if you don’t like that then this playlist isn’t for you. But I love it. Every song has some sort of meaning and was put there purposefully. Some have more meaning than others but they all definitely do. Yes, even the tinker bell song. Not every meaning comes at face value.

This Is Why You Never Go To New Jersey - Completed

This is a Halloween fic I made for this year, it’s just 5 chapters but if you like spooky haunted churches and angst, then you’ll like this.

A playlist for it if you want it :)

What If It Was Raph? - Completed

The title pretty much explains what this is about

A Small Shell - Completed

What if Raph hit his limit from Leo and him arguing before the invasion even happened? Between S2 and then? He just hit a wall and didn’t want to fight anymore?

This is a small one-off that explores that idea.

<3

That’s all for now! I have an Instagram that let’s you know when chapters come out for any ongoing fics I’m working on, right now it’s every Saturday at noon. QR code to that Instagram below because I can’t figure out the link👇

[im-fairly-whitty]

10 Starters

Tagged by @slusheeduck for the “10 Starters Challenge.” Essentially taking the first line of 10 of your fics/works (or the first paragraph to get the vibe of it.) 

It was so so much fun digging through my story trunk and remembering all these fantastic projects! Here we go:

1. The Arbrel

My very first novel, started this one when I was fifteen and it's a loose mess of a plot featuring people who have animal-based superpowers. 

Unfinished and always will be. 

Mitch dashed down the alley, his stolen prize grasped tightly in his hand as he weaved around crushed cardboard boxes and jumped over loose piles of leaves. The cold October air bit through the holes in his jeans and the hood of his sweatshirt slid off, baring his short dark hair to the chilled twilight of the Minnesota evening.

2. Dr Who fanfic

I thought Coco was my first foray into fanfic, but then remembered an old Dr Who self-insert drabble I wrote forever ago. 

For some reason I've forgotten, it seems to have been part of a homework assignment.

A package of gluten-free spaghetti, that’s all I had wanted when I walked through the automatic doors of my neighborhood Smith’s. Instead of procuring my pasta as according to plan, I now found myself precariously perched upon the ice cream freezer.

3. Honey Rubies

There was a spooky story contest at a Haloween party I attended in high school. Wrote this oneshot from the point of view of a disturbingly cheerful clinically insane murderer and swept away first prize no contest after completely terrifying my friends. 

Maybe available for posting if requested.

I love my white chair, it is solid and secure and always there. I know it is always there. Around it spreads a beautiful field of emerald grass that stretches to a horizon of blue that soars up to form a ceiling of azure far above my head. I call this place Amy. The first Amy was a person, not a place, she was always there too. Until one day she wasn’t.

4. Hitman for Hire: Unfinished Business Only

A story about a hitman who takes business from spirits with unfinished business, killing their murderers so that the spirits can move on before warping into dangerous poltergeists like the one that killed his mother, who was a psychic. 

I only ever wrote the first chapter of this one since I decided I wasn't comfortable jumping down the dark rabbit hole that this story would require (it would definitely be an M rating and I don't like wandering past pg-13), but I do love the chapter a lot. I could be convinced to post what I have already if requested, but will likely remain unfinished.

“... and once the ladder tipped I fell right on the fence below. It was a two-story fall! And then my idiot brother-in-law just watches me bleed out, a piece of rebar through my neck. You ever bled to death? Like, it’s quick, but not that quick.” The lanky man rubbed a hand on his neck, grimacing.

5. How to Hate the Planet Earth 

An alien scout has just finished her report that the Earth is ready for harvesting but is feeling guilty about having doomed the planet and its population that she's come to love. Now with three days before the end of Earth she recruits a depressed and confused art student to help her find all the reasons to hate Earth to make her feel better. 

A finished 30k romp of a story featuring a one-eared cat, a retaliatory gang, and an overall "Good Omens/Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" vibe. Could possibly be convinced to post, but it’ll need editing first.

Taking a sip of coffee Hinge picked up her pen with new resolve, focusing on the bitter taste. 

The native’s addictive stimulant of choice, “coffee...”

She took another sip of the disgusting, awful, really despicable drink. 

...causes headaches if the habit is not sustained...

Her next sip had an extra taste of vanilla.

...which isn’t hard, since the delicious...

Frowning she crossed it out and tried again, taking another swig, savoring the nutmeg. 

The terrible, not tasty, not amazing nutmeg she had discovered yesterday while taste-testing all the different kinds of flavors you could order.

6. Never City

A dystopian retelling of Peter Pan, Sixteen-year-old Peder isn't happy when the Tinker asks him to kidnap two young boys before the government does. He and his group of robotic lost boys prefer to stay hidden in the shadows of Never City, but he agrees anyway. He doesn't want the government to trap the minds of John and Michael Darling in digital "lifechips" like they did with the lost boys Peder now cares for. 

 It’s a full and polished YA novel manuscript I was shopping around to agents last year, but not sure if I'm going to anymore since my writing has improved a ton since then so I’m feeling stuck in limbo with this one.

Peder had plenty of experience reviving the dead, he just needed to work a bit faster than usual tonight.

7. Nightmare Knight

There is a man that’s been in Samantha’s dreams for months now. No, not “the man of her dreams,” literally a man, always in the background, just casually watching her from a distance every night. She’s never able to talk to him, so when he shows up at her house one morning to offer her an apprenticeship as a nightmare slayer, she’s more than intrigued. Her real life is a dead end as far as she’s concerned, and maybe she sort of had to lie to her new mentor and kind of run away from home, but she’s not going to let anything keep her from taking full advantage of this chance to escape her real life. Little does she realize that in the dreamscape, her devil-may-care attitude will lead to attracting all kinds of devils who DO care, unleashing exactly the kind of monsters she’ll be training to kill. By the time she does realize it, it might be too late.

I have a full finished novel manuscript of it but am currently rewriting it.

“I am dreaming. I am paying attention.” Samantha said aloud, focusing as hard as she could.

8. Hillbriar

Dani Hillbriar, youngest of three, has enough problems in her fifteen-year-old life before she wakes up coughing sparks one morning, not to mention the scaly rash on her shoulder. Turns out that her brother, sister and father are having the same unexpected health issues, which reaches a terrifying crescendo when her brother Marcos sprouts giant leathery wings right in the middle of the living room. Turns out that Dad's crazy uncle has left the family a huge property in the middle of Montana in his will, an apparently magical property that happens to comes with the ability to turn into a dragon in order to protect it. Something that neither Dani, her family, or the dragon community at large are at all pleased about as the family is pulled into the secret-ridden politics of the Hillbriar family that have been covered for years. 

A novel I have planned out but is mostly unwritten, I'll be working more on it sometime.

It's not like like I woke up planning to burn my house down, I'm not a freak. It just kind of happened.

9. For Whom the Bell Tolls - Coco

Baby's first real fanfic (not counting the Dr Who drabble). Ernesto De la Cruz a year post movie decides to pay Miguel a visit to give the kid a taste of what regret feels like.

It had been a year since paradise had turned to hell.

10. The Way You Keep Me Guessing: Coco Teacher AU

Yall know this one. Here’s the first line of the first chapter I did for it. Imelda was still angry with Hector, meaning that when he was late to the welcome-back assembly she couldn’t text him to see where he was. She’d maintained complete radio silence for three months now despite his best efforts and was very proud of herself for it.

***

If you’ve got 10+ works to choose from and the fancy hits you, go ahead and tag yourself! This was a lot of fun and is making me itch to get back to some of my original works projects.

My Once a Fairytale

I was living a life with a sense of balance both inside and out. A feeling of being content of whatever is happening in my life or in the world around me. Living a day without anyone to bother and distract me. A life where I will just lie in bed, scroll on social media, laugh at memes, watch movies, eat, and naturally put my mind and body unconscious. A very enchanting, calm, and quiet world I should say. I thought no one could ever disrupt this serenity of mine as though there were no waves in a quiet pond. Just a thought really, a pure one, not until I met this amiable, affable, charming, and gregarious man. Everything seems too perfect even if it is really the exact opposite of being perfect.

It happened two years ago, when I was like a child who in comparison to adults, untainted with any unpleasant emotion, has a little experience and understanding of wordly things.

As I was moderately advancing my feet in an alternate way on the ground of a long aisle with door that leads to the room on both sides. Lot of students, walking and running everywhere. People murmuring like a bees, a soft and indistinct sound that you can hear because well, what else would you expect in a school campus. Then there he is, an almost perfect figure standing like a statue five feet away from me. Most of our schoolmates said he looks like a male model and everyone likes him. Well, he didn't work as a male model, but maybe he should have.  The enviable, wedge, curly, ear length, sun-streaked hair that he tamed so carefully and perfectly. He had effulgent, molten-brown, almond shaped eyes. They were glistening with love, and he gave me a genuine smile. Eyebrows with a Descendant cut and a sickle form. His sharp cheekbones chiseled down towards such a sharp jaw, and he handled an arrogant nose well. A broad strong shoulders that fits perfectly with his uniform. His Edward Collin look alike skin color, not really but kind of and its beautiful. He was engulfed by a seductive fragrance and it kind of addictive. Can’t deny the fact that he is really the man that qualifies to every woman’s standard. He is alluringly irresistible.

Time stops whenever I spent a day with him as if there is no one around and there is only two of us, where the only thing that I hear is the wind whooshing in different direction, the sound of his footstep, his silvery husky voice that is a singsong to my ears, his deep loud hearty laughter, and all I can see is him. I stared at him wondering why is it that this man in front of me was bodacious and quintessentially crafted. I snap myself back to reality. I was too captivated by his entrancing physique. I never think that it isn’t fair, but what to say, he is a blessed man, wonderfully made by God.

We went to school together and he will wait for me every day because he doesn’t want me to go home alone. We would spend our free time playing mobile games and it was fun to laugh with him, we did lot of crazy stuff together. I know he doesn’t feel the same way how I feel about him. The feeling of always wanting to be with him, I always want to hear his silvery husky voice that is literally music to my ears. I always search for him, long for him. And can’t deny that I miss him every day, I love who I am with him. Yes. I kind of living in a fairytale where everything is unbelievable wonderful and great. With a man like him it feels like we are in a play of James Matthew Barrie where I am his Tinker Bell but he was never my Peter Pan. If only I can rewrite everything, unfortunately, things really happen as what it supposed to be and we can’t do nothing except accepting it. We were once a Romeo and Juliet, choose each other no matter what happen but everything has an end, even the very precious thing that you treasure the most will end up forgotten. Just like us, it definitely defined us. Perfectly Imperfect just the way it is.

One day, the day that I really suck at everything and I screwed up.  Unable to focus on doing the school projects, it was like my mind was beating a dead horse but is not really thinking about anything, it was like my brain cells are in the maze having trouble of finding their right place to think straight. It was the day that my world of fantasy and a fairytale like story was slowly fading away, it was like covered by a thick fog, unable to foresee of what is waiting for me behind in that ashy smoky dark fog. The day that my Edward Collin slash Peter Pan is walking towards me while gently holding the hand of his dear Bella slash Wendy. Smiling brightly, so bright that I can see stars in his eyes. His happiness that is shown vividly, his deep loud hearty laughter is way too different when he is with her than with me. Watching that scenario gives me sore eyes, I can feel a crushing sensation deep down in my chest. My legs are trembling, hands are shaking, I tried to open my mouth to speak but it feels like my tongue was tied up, unable to untangle it no matter how I tried. There they are, slowly waving their hands facing in my direction with a wide and sweet smile in their faces and the moment they stand in front of me the only word that comes out in my mouth was congratulations, then with a watery eyes I gave them my sincerest sweetest smile that I rarely wear.

I suddenly look in different angle, As I take one step backward and put my head down. I could feel my throat tighten as I could feel the hot liquid coming out from my eyes streamed down in my face. I excused myself from them without looking up because I can’t take it anymore. The pain throbbing in my heart is unbearable. I headed home straight leaving them behind I can hear him calling my name for like five times but I didn’t stop walking, didn’t even give them a last short glance.

The day is over, the twilight is deep and dark, and the night sky is completely visible. The perfect opportunity to delve the beautiful constellation. The demeanor is so tranquil and peaceful just like a sleeping newborn. Even the person's gentle steps can be heard, and the creatures are beginning to return home. Here I am alone in the place in which all impurities were eradicated and temperature, humidity, and pressures have been carefully controlled. My eyes are misted with tears, mesmerizing all those memories that I shared with him, that I treasured with my best friend who abandon me because of that girl. Well, I can’t blame him for that, it is my fault I dwelled to much in this feeling and emotion that he doesn’t even care about in the first place. I wonder if these eyes will ever get tired of shedding tears until I felt a little drowsy and then few minutes later everything turns black.

I met you out of the blue and now you’re gone as fast as a shooting star. We may not end up together or did all of those thing that other best friends for life did I want you to know that I will never ever forget you. You hurt me as hell, yes, but I don’t blame you and If the universe will give me a chance to go back in time I will definitely spell those unspoken words that I’ve been wanting to tell you. I miss you and I know that wherever you are right now, you’re living a life that every person could ever ask for. Until we meet again My Peter Pan.

Wanted to post this yesterday, but couldn't make it because... well, life happened. And also long weekend, which means traffic both in real and virtual world *sigh*. On the bright side, this last Random News Digest for April 2017, gets to be the final post of the month as well. Enjoy!

Itching for another live action revisit of your favorite classic Walt Disney animated movies? Then you only need to wait a little longer, because the coming years will be a BLAST. Guy Ritchie's "Aladdin" is expected to begin filming very soon. Likely this very summer, as that casting call suggested. Meaning, it's probably aiming for that UNTITLED August 3rd, 2018 opening. Niki Caro will later move forward with her 'extremely muscular' rendition of "Mulan". A movie that is set to be released on November 2nd, 2018. And guess what will come after? Jon Favreau's "The Lion King"! Yes, Favreau himself announced via Twitter, that the movie is now expected to arrive on July 19th, 2019. Does this mean, the sequel to "The Jungle Book" will need to wait a bit longer, then? Hmmm... I hope Neel Sethi doesn't age up too fast to reprise his role. Otherwise, it would end up becoming a "Tarzan" movie instead.

We know that Donald Glover is voicing Simba, and James Earl Jones will reprise his role as Mufasa. We also aware that Disney is openly pursuing the one and only Queen-Bey, Beyoncé Knowles to voice Nala. What about the other characters? Well, guess what... apparently two actors are currently in final talks to voice Simba's jungle guardians, his foster fathers, the never-ever-worry outcasts, Timon and Pumbaa. The scene-stealing dynamic-duo carefree-combi who are responsible for Simba's growth in the movie. And these actors are... Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen. Ain't that an interesting choice, eh?

While I'm a bit disappointed that Favreau decided not to ask Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella to reprise their roles, the thought of Rogen's voice coming out of an adorkable gruff-voiced fat warthog is just too good to dismiss. What can I say, I AM a bit biased when it comes to Rogen. As for Eichner, I'm honestly not that familiar with his work (don't ask why I haven't seen "Parks and Recreation"). But from my quick research... it's obvious he's a genuine HILLARIOUS guys, and does sound like a younger version of Lane. His real life rambunctious mannerism basically screams, "that's how the snobbish meerkat Timon would look as a human!". In fact, I think he'll make an awesome coupl... I mean duo with Rogen *grins*. Nope, I'm not kidding, go ahead and watch their one time togetherness on Eichner's "Billy on the Street"! Doesn't that feel like Timon and Pumbaa already?!... So yeah, I wholeheartedly APPROVE of this pair!!! b(^o^)d

I do hope that these two goofballs' singing ability, is as good as their comedy though. After all, this movie WILL be a musical as planned, right? At least that's how I have been assuming until now, because "The Lion King" without "Hakuna Matata" would totally sound off. But perhaps we shouldn't worry about that, because Favreau is determined, if not feel a bit daunted to deliver and live up to audience's expectation. Especially because the original animated movie was such a beloved title, that still has a strong fanbase with "an emotional connection" until now. "When you direct it, you have to love it, especially one of those that takes like two or three years to do,... Love it to the point of obsession. So there are things that I might want to see or be involved with or act in but that's a lot different than I have to live, breathe, sleep it, dream it. If I'm going to do my best work, I have to be completely immersed.", he said, which was definitely a reassuring point of view. Let's just cross our fingers that Favreau will be able to replicate the same success of "The Jungle Book", whether in modernized storytelling, nostalgic music, or through dazzling photo-realistic visual effects.

The Hollywood Reporter also revealed, that there's another popular animated title freshly entering the live action circuit. This new one is "Christopher Robin", and yes, it's about that one and only boy who is best friends with THE Winnie the Pooh!!! Does this mean it's a Winnie the Pooh live action remake? Probably... but it comes with a twist. Our gentle Christopher has become a dashing handsome middle-aged man! HUH? Yes, this movie will focus on an adult version of the character, who has lost his sense of imagination. Marc Forster is currently working on it, and the actor being approached to portray Christopher, is the dashing Ewan McGregor. Fantastic choice, because I totally can see him as a much older version of this character. Allison Schroeder is said to be working on the script's third rewrite, which doesn't sound encouraging. Then again, the idea of the movie alone is already a make or break situation. Will this even work? Yes and no, it's still anyone's guess. I just hope the animal characters are still an important part of it, otherwise, what's the point, right?

Disney have also announced new release dates for two UNTITLED live action movies. On April 3rd, 2020, and on March 12th, 2021. Is "Christopher Robin" one of said title? How about Tim Burton's "Dumbo", "Cruella", "Tinker Bell", "The Little Mermaid", and those other titles currently in development? Hmmm... this is getting confusing. All I can say is, the House of Mouse is totally on a roll. So it's a good time to be a Disney fans!

Disney Animation

If you think "The Lion King", as well as the fourth Avengers movie from Marvel Studios are enough a reason to make you anticipate the year 2019, then you'll be ecstatic to know what comes next. "Frozen 2", the sequel to that 2013 mega-hit animated movie, is also set to arrive on November 27th, 2019! Directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee are returning, alongside the cast members like Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, and Josh Gad. Eventhough most of them are not yet confirmed. I have to admit, I'm not too certain if the first movie even needed a sequel, nor that it's necessary. But its massive success alone would be more than enough to attract a lot of audience, particularly those little girls who grew up with, and likely are still humming the tune of "Let it Go" until now. Yep, that song is EVERYWHERE, isn't it? Personally, I think the Pacific Island version is a better and stronger number (That's "How Far I'll Go" from "Moana", in case you don't get it), but who am I to argue with popular opinion, right? Here's hoping the SIX years gap would be worth the wait. After all, the original audience should be teenagers when this sequel finally arrives. And you know how it is when children grows up!

Unfortunately, this news arrived alongside several release dates shuffling for upcoming Walt Disney's releases. This covers all of their divisions, which means the animation titles are inevitably affected as well. "Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2" will now open on November 21st, 2018, which is a 7-months delay from its initial March 9th release. "Gigantic", which is Disney's long overdue take on classic "Jack and the Beanstalk" tale, was initially scheduled to be out on that precise date. It will now open on November 25th... 2020, which is a two-years delay! Ouch. An UNTITLED animated movie that was supposed to open on that date, will now arrive on November 24th, 2021, alongside a Pixar release on June 18th of the same year.

Indiana Jones

Through the same release date announcement, Disney also revealed that "Indiana Jones 5" has been delayed from July 2019, to July 10th, 2020. According to Collider, it might be caused by director Steven Spielberg, who is pushing in his other projects beforehand. This movie has limited Spielberg's availability to work on this sequel, which can only begin production on Fall 2018, if not Spring 2019, at the earliest. For the time being, actor Harrison Ford is still set to reprise his role as the legendary Professor Jones, and David Koepp is currently working on the script. But one can never tell nor predict what's going to happen in the future, so their participations have easily become uncertainty thanks to this delay. Let's just hope the best for this project, okay? But of course, no matter how you see it, this is definitely Disney's way of world domination! LOL.

Star Wars

Whooa, there! Wait a sec, apparently I'm not done yet with Disney *sigh*. This time it's from their Lucasfilm divison, as the much anticipated and tentatively titled "Star Wars: Episode IX" has received an official release date. Unlike the first two modern-era movies, the 2015 "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" that's coming later this year, the 9th core iteration of the franchise will NO LONGER open in December. Instead, Disney has moved it forward to premiere on May 24th, 2019. Yes, Christmas comes early that year for "Star Wars" fans! I guess with no other Marvel Studios' releases in 2019 following UNTITLED Avengers movie (don't forget, the Spider-Man sequel is distributed by SONY), "Star Wars" has no problem vacating its usual December spot to jump into the Summer slot. Which could either be a good or bad news. Good, because in a way, the franchise does belong as a Summer blockbuster. But bad, because of the inevitable fierce competition. Forget about other studios, Disney's own Avengers 4 should still be playing that week! Risky move...

Of course, I agree with Collider, in that the primary intention might be to not keep "Star Wars" fans waiting too long. "Han Solo: A Star Wars Story", also a tentative title by the way, is set to be released on May 25th, 2018. If Episode IX sticks to its December landing, then there will be a long 18 months hiatus between them. Add to that, the absence of "Star Wars REBELS", which should have ended its final season months prior to the Han Solo movie? It can end up damaging the franchise due to the lack of hype. A gap too long can always produce negative result to a franchise. Colin Trevorrow is set to helm the final part of this new trilogy. If his previous experience with "Jurassic Park" worries you, then you need to remember that Rian Johnson is the one writing the script. That clearly ensures the connectivity between his Episode VIII to Trevorrow's Episode IX. I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this movie, as soon as "The Last Jedi" is released later in December. May the Force be with this franchise. But seriously, 2019 (particularly in Summer), is shaping up into one massive of a year for movies, eh?

Jurassic Park

Speaking of Colin Trevorrow, the sequel to his 2015 movie, "Jurassic World 2" has been in production for a while. But that doesn't stop the J.A. Bayona movie to add more star power to its roster. It's a familiar face too, someone who's no stranger to being chased by dinosaurs, having starred in the first two movies of the franchise. Yep, Jeff Goldblum... is set to reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm in the upcoming movie. He'll be joining the new leads, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, fellow actor from the original movies in B.D. Wong, and new faces in the franchise like Justice Smith, James Cromwell, Geraldine Chapling, Ted Levine, and Toby Jones. This would be Goldblum's second comeback role, after returning for "Independence Day: Resurgence" last year. A movie that had a Hemsworth, before he took on the older brother in the upcoming Thor movie. Looks like he only needs to co-star with the third, eldest one, to score a Hemsworth-Jackpot! LOL to that!

As I said above, if there's something you need to worry, then it's not "Star Wars: Episode IX". It's THIS movie that I believe you should be concerned with. Why? Because eventhough Trevorrow isn't directing, he's the one writing the script with Derek Connolly. In case you forget, it's the script to "Jurassic World" that bogged the movie down among critics. I can't help but feel concerned that the same thing is going to happen with this one. But as always, we'll see if that's the case or not. After all, the first movie did become financially success despite being challenged critically. "Jurassic World 2" will arrive next year, on June 22nd.

X-Men Universe

In case you missed the news last week, FOX has dated "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" to arrive on November 2nd, 2018. I didn't discuss about it much, because the news arrived mere hours before my queued post went up. Thus, I was only able to make a quick minor update for it.

For that reason, I feel like talking about it now. And by talking, OBVIOUSLY it means 'ranting', what else? LOL. Nope, I won't point out the similarity of powerset between Jean Grey's Phoenix and Carol Danvers' Captain Marvel, whose solo movie is set to arrive just a few months later. It's about my issue with Quicksilver. No really, call me crazy, but I actually wonder if FOX is intentionally pushing "Dark Phoenix" just to exercise their copyright property with him again. After all, there IS a rumor that Marvel Studios is going to feature their version of Marvel's famous speedster again in the next Avengers movie. Whether that 4chan originated report is credible or not (NOTE: it didn't get it right for Sylvester Stallone's character, so there's that). But seriously, it's the timing that intrigues me. Why? Because both movies will be released in the same year! Coincidence much?

Judging from past experience, in how the studio managed to pointlessly shoehorn Quicksilver in "X-Men: Apocalypse"... the movie that suspiciously arrived in the SAME year to "Captain America: Civil War"? I doubt it. Just stop and think about it. Had the Marvel Studios' version survived "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in the previous year (remember, Aaron Taylor-Johnson even filmed a scene wearing a new official Avengers costume, which could be briefly spotted in the Bluray featurette), his next logical step would be to show up alongside his twin-sister in "Civil War". Things clearly did NOT go that way, and instead, we got a FOX version who raced through time to reenact a now-boring slow-motion sequence last year. In a movie so dull and bad, I feel openly ashamed to have seen it. So yeah, feel free to consider me as a conspiracy theorist, but I sure will NOT be surprised if Evan Peters' Quicksilver is somehow included again in "Dark Phoenix".

I also didn't have time to talk about who might be directing this dreaded-sounding (I'm praising and being sarcastic at the same time) movie. We know for sure, that producer Simon Kinberg (who wrote "X-Men: The Last Stand", the Brett Ratner movie that misguidedly butchered the story in the first place), IS writing the script to this movie. But since Bryan Singer might be out of the picture, Kinberg is stepping up by openly thinking of making this his directorial debut as well! Here's what he said, "I definitely would love to take another stab at the Dark Phoenix story. The seeds of Phoenix definitely are planted in (Apocalypse). She can’t control her powers unless she either fully stops them or lets them all loose, and that’s kind of Phoenix. I think in future movies to come we’ll definitely see a bit more of that.". Ignoring the fact that Kinberg has a messy understanding of the source material... emphasis on the phrase 'take ANOTHER STAB', perhaps? Because that already spells like sinister trouble *sigh*. These guys have failed Phoenix the first time. They made Magneto a borish nagging character. They've wasted the Silver Samurai into an ugly mess of CGI. They turned Apocalypse, into one big joke/meme. Will they have better luck with Phoenix redux? We'll see...

Kingsman

The good news is, even with the atrocities of their X-Men franchise (not talking about solo movies like "Deadpool" or "Logan"), FOX DOES have a strong trump card on their sleeve: the "Kingsman" franchise. 2015's "Kingsman: The Secret Service" was an unexpected pleasant surprise. The whole James Bond-esque nod and satire worked, it had amazing and likeable cast of characters, and the R-rated action scenes were bloody thrilling albeit religiously controversial. Suffice to say, director Matthew Vaugh definitely hit the ball off the park so far, that he even did something unprecented: agreeing to do a follow-up!

Its sequel, "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" is already showing off signs of equal greatness! The first trailer for this sequel has been released last week, and it's looking fantastic. The swagger, the action, and the style? WOW!!! I became a fan of Taron Egerton as soon as the first movie ended, and here, we get to see him fully owning his role as Eggsy. Ain't that a sight for sore eyes! This Eggsy is no longer the apprentice, he's a full-blown Kingsman now, and takes on a far crucial role in the organization. Particularly when it is directly targetted, and well... literally blown to pieces. Thus they need to cooperate with the US counterpart, the Statesman, and this is where the cowboy Channing Tatum comes to play. It's always fascinating to see and hear American and British clashing heads and accents with one another. That alone already sold the movie for me. But really, this movie is loaded with great actors, including the return of Colin Firth. Dang it, this feels amazing already! So yeah, September 27th, 2017 is the date to look out for!

The Chronicles of Narnia

Turns out, we're getting the 4th movie after all! So... yaaaay, I guess? According to Variety, director Joe Johnston is set to direct "Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair". Which itself is the title of the sixth volume out of seven, if Wikipedia is not mistaken. This movie series might feel a little under-appreciated, but there are people who are looking forward to see more. Particularly, those who are fans of the author C.S. Lewis, like several members of my extended family. The benefit of this particular chapter, is that it will focus on a separate story from the first trilogy. So Johnston won't need to bring back all of the old characters, some whose actors have already retired from acting. Only Will Poulter would be needed to reprise his role as Eustace Scrubb. But he has grown up since the third movie, while the story requires a younger age. This means, Johnston has the benefit of working with mostly, if not entirely new cast members this time. A set that possibly lead towards more sequels in the future. No release date has been set for the time being, but I won't be surprised if it will arrive late next year. Let's just hope this one will be more faithful to the book, unlike what happened with the third movie.

Gintama

This live action movie looks interesting as well! Yes, a new 30 seconds trailer for "Gintama the Movie" has recently been released, and it's showcasing new footage from the movie. That includes Gintouki and Shinpachi's first meeting. I'm not familiar with the series, so I can't say anything about it. But the slick action, and level of talents who are participating in this title, is enough to make me excited. Yes, Shun Oguri is everywhere, and has played numerous lead characters from various manga/anime adaptations. But dang it he's a good actor, who gives it all when it comes to building a character. And that's a good reassurance to the quality we can expect from this adaptation. If anything, I sincerely hope it would be as delightful as the "Rurouni Kenshin" adaptation several years back. It's certainly looking that way. "Gintama" will open in Japan on July 14th, 2017.

DC Films

Hmmm... I didn't want to talk about this, but it's a rather interesting news so I've decided to make a quick detour. Remember "The Flash"? The movie that was supposed to arrive next year, but has fallen into a circle of development limbo? Well, according to Screen Junkies, director Robert Zemeckis is being approached by Warner Bros to take on the movie. This is BIG news, because Zemeckis is famous and beloved for his "Back to the Future" movie series. Problem is, as soon as the Youtube Channel reported this news, El Mayimbe of The Wrap debunked it on Twitter. He said that Zemeckis only had a meeting, and that WB is talking with other directors for the project. Hmmm... perhaps Screen Junkies got it wrong, or they could be right, who can really tell. But the fact that El Mayimbe doesn't have a good track record with many of his latest scoops, is also something important we need to consider. The good sign that we can take from this report however, is that WB is still intent on making the movie. So that could serve as an encouraging news to DC Fans out there. But as always, don't get your hopes up too soon. Please also consider the studio's track record, particular for this exact project...

SONY Marvel Universe

Collider talked to actor Liev Schreiber about his upcoming voice role as the mysterious villain for Miles Morales' "Animated Spider-Man" movie. He didn't really reveal any major hints about WHO the character will be, but he did mention that he has seen the script and will soon be recording his lines in the coming months. According to Schreiber, the story will "feel very familiar, in a good way, in a kind of throwback way", especially for real hardcore Spider-Man fans. Considering Morales himself is a new character who was created in 2011, the word 'throwback' becomes a big question mark. If I need to make a wild guess, I say his character is going to be the Goblin, or Norman Osborn. Morales might live in a different universe to Peter Parker, but it's a parallel world, so most of Peter's adversaries are his as well, albeit in different form/look. I guess we'll have to wait and see if my prediction is correct or not. This movie will arrive on December 21st, 2018. Will you be watching this family-friendly animated movie, or WB's "Aquaman" instead? Hmmm...

Marvel Studios

As you can guess from my rather-melancholic review, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" has opened early in several countries, including mine. The North American region won't be seeing it until later this week (on May 5th), but it has been expected to arrive with an approximately $150 million domestic opening weekend. That number would be the second-biggest number of the year, following the $174 million of Disney's very own "Beauty and the Beast". I say, that estimation sounds quite plausible, despite the fact that some of the critical reviews are calling out this movie as 'Not so fresh'. After all, the general idea that negative reviews would affect audience's response and the movie's overall revenue, has been negated gracefully by "Beauty and the Beast" last month, or "The Fate of the Furious" earlier this month. As of writing (April 30th 01:00AM local time... don't ask why), the Rotten Tomatoes score for "Vol. 2" is sitting comfortably on 87%, which is admittedly a bit lower than the 91% of the first movie.

I need not to remind you, that "Vol. 2" IS a visually gorgeous and compelling character-driven movie that will undeniably attract families and die-hard Marvel fans. Yes, it's a risky sequel that might not work with everyone. Yes, it did hit me hard emotionally. But the fact that I'm already itching to see it again, is a clear sign that... yes, it's THAT good. I honestly want to go back to retrace those abundant Easter Eggs, as well as seeing it in again 3D. Because darn it, my country's a jerk. It didn't held any 3D viewings on the day of premiere! Otherwise I would've chosen that feature instead *sigh*.

Speaking of Easter Eggs, director James Gunn reached fans through his social media, to explain about his friend, Nathan Fillion's statement regarding his deleted cameo. As has been spotted before on set by keen-eyed fans, Gunn confirmed that Fillion was supposed to appear as Simon Williams... "in some movie POSTERS in a scene cut from the movie.". This could be that 'Easter Eggs loaded' scene that Gunn admitted had to cut during editing. He added that, "It was a way to have fun with one of my best pals.". It's possible that the sequence will later be made available on the Bluray, but I'm not so certain. Without spoiling anything, while the movie did take place on Earth several times, I can't help but wonder where exactly this particular scene would've taken place. Oh well, I hope Fillion will still be playing the character in future Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, because that's a brilliant and spot-on casting for the superhero turned actor!

Director Peyton Reed has revealed that "Ant-Man & The Wasp" will start filming very soon in June. This statement was inline with Kevin Feige's word during the press junket for "Vol. 2". Confirming that Evangeline Lilly will not be in "Avengers: Infinity War", Reed expressed his excitement to promote Lilly's Hope van Dyne, into becoming a full pledged superheroine alongside Paul Rudd's Scott Lang. Reed said, that Ant-Man and Wasp has always worked as a team for him, and that sentiment would be the prime focus of the movie. Reed even assured that "It’s every bit as much her movie as it is Scott Lang’s". "Ant-Man & The Wasp" will arrive on July 6th, 2018, but I'm sure we're going know more and probably see bits of the movie in this year's San Diego Comic Con International, and/or during Disney's D23 Expo that will take place just several days earlier.

Production for this 'duo movie', will certainly run in parallel with the UNTITLED 2019's Avengers movie, or as many would love to call it, "AVENGERS 4". The "Infinity War" team is expected to proceed with its production in August. Which means, the chance of Lilly's Wasp and also Brie Larson's Captain Marvel (her movie is scheduled to begin production afterwards, in February 2018) to have crucial part in it, has become significantly higher. The title for Avengers 4, is still being kept tightly wrapped by the folks at Marvel Studios. Feige casually agreed to Cinema Blend, that revealing the title too early might be a spoiler for "Infinity War". Intriguingly, the European premiere for "Vol. 2" took place the following days, and actress Zoe Saldana accidentally worded out some interesting statement that caused the fans buzzing. Why? Because it was indicated, that the title would be something along the line of "Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet". Makes sense, but... not so spoilery, huh? Indeed, because her director had gone out to clarify that it's NOT the title. Talking to Yahoo.UK, Gunn said that Saldana might have merely misspoken. Which is good, because now we can continue speculating about it! LOL.

Of course, Saldana's interview still confirmed that the Guardians will also appear in the movie. Meaning the crossover with the Avengers will not take place in "Infinity War" alone, which CAN be considered spoiler on its own. More interestingly, Feige revealed that while "Vol. 2" only took place several months (with its own valid reason) after 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy", the gap towards "Infinity War" would be four years. That means, during such time span, Earth would have been challenged by various events that ranged from Ultron's sinister plan for humanity's extinction, the disassembling of the Avengers in "Captain America: Civil War", Dormammu's dimensional breakout in "Doctor Strange", up to whatever is going on in "Black Panther". Naturally, there will be more character growth and 'changes' among the Guardians themselves, and that is indeed the case. Members of the Guardians "will have evolved slightly, in some recognizable ways", Feige said. Having seen "Vol. 2" a few days ago, I can personally attest that these gang of misfit has already changed 'emotionally' through the course of the movie. And that its mid-credit scenes took place at least months if not a year or two afterwards. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how far they have become when we see them again in "Infinity War".

As I have mentioned last week, "Avengers 4" will mark a conclusion, and migration to a new era. Feige already said that the MCU will be VERY different after that. Even the 'Phase' system might evolve into a different concept starting in 2019. With the infinite ways it will take shape (remember the Multiverse?), fans everywhere are chiming in with their own speculations and personal hopes about it. But what about Marvel Studios themselves? Turns out, talking to Fandango, Feige himself thought that "it’s a little early to know what it’s going to look like. I think things are going to look very different at that point". He did however, reveal the reason why Gunn had signed up early on for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3". A little something the studio will call, the 'COSMIC UNIVERSE'. Indeed, just like how "Doctor Strange" paved way for the existence of Multiverse, in a way "Vol. 2" also worked as a gateway towards bigger, broader, and more outlandish cosmic adventures. And yes, several (of five) mid-credit scenes of "Vol. 2" HAVE already alluded the vastness of the cosmic side alone. At the very least, it has shown us what kind of story or character we can expect to see in "Vol. 3".

Last but not least, in case you forgot or are not aware of this, Marvel Studios had already put three 'UNTITLED' placeholders for the year 2020: May 1st, July 10th, and November 6th. But since it is a division of Disney, one of its future release date also got affected by the recent shift. Namely, the July 10th has been pushed into August 7th. Why am I talking about these future dates? The current common sense is that, "Vol. 3" would be taking the May 1st date. But now I can also see it taking the August 7th one, because the first movie DID open in that month. Especially if the studios wishes for May to be Earth-based. Perhaps, "Doctor Strange 2" then? Remember, the first movie was initially meant as Summer movie, but was delayed to accomodate Benedict Cumberbatch's theatre schedule. What about the third date then? Just a wild guess, but it's likely going to be a new property, and if Feige's words is any indication, it'll be something that takes place in the Cosmic Universe. Nobody knows what it will be for now, but here's a wild guess: "Nova"!!! Let's just wait and see if I'm right or not! ;D

Marvel TV

This one will be another quick one! After doing several memorable episodes on Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", there are signs that director Kevin Tancharoen will be involved in Marvel's "The Inhumans" as well. Which is a GOOD news, because the guy has a good taste when it comes to action scenes. And boy, judging from the result of showrunner Scott Buck with "Iron Fist"? This show needs ALL the help it could get. Of course, the report was not official, and was only deducted through stalking observing his activity on social media. But Tancharoen has maintained a tight-knit relationship with ABC Studios in recent years, not to mention AoS is produced by his own sister and brother-in-law. So it makes A LOT of sense for him to take part in this series as well. At the very least, we can look forward for the episode he directed, even if we might end up skipping the rest... *sigh*.

Netflix

Earlier this month, some fansites reported that Marvel's "Luke Cage" has begun filming. I even stated that on last week's R-N-D. As it turns out, that was inaccurate report! *mindblown* LOL. Lead actor Mike Colter was present at the Chicago's C2E2 Convention, and aside from revealing fun little details during the production of Marvel's "The Defenders", he clarified the report that filming for Season 2 will begin later in June. Perhaps the ones spotted in New York was merely second unit doing prepping work? Who knows. But there you have it folks, right now, only Marvel's "Jessica Jones" is in production. Colter did share a little hint about "Jessica Jones" second season as well, having worked closely alongside Krysten Ritter throughout "The Defenders". According to him, audience can expect the vibe of the new season to be "dark and heavy". That's intriguing, right?

Meanwhile, Jessica Henwick shared to Entertainment Weekly, that "The Defenders" will take place one month following the ending of Marvel's "Iron Fist". She also added that her character, and possibly Finn Jones' Danny Rand who will be actively busy hunting members for The Hand, will not be in New York when the mini series begins. This helps explain why both Colleen Wing and Danny are rarely seen alongside the other Defenders during filming. But not to worry, she also teased that seeing different characters from different series interact with one another, will make Marvel fans excited. "They’re going to see Colleen and Misty... they’re going to love seeing Luke Cage with the Iron Fist, Danny Rand. I think fans are going to freak out.", she teased. Well, no kidding girl! This will be the ONLY show where we'll be able to see those, right? To think that we could have had it more, had we have a "Heroes for Hire" show. Such a waste of potentials...

DC Television

WB Television has been toying with this one idea for quite some time, and looks like it's finally happening. "Titans", a live action adaptation of the popular "Teen Titans", is set to debut on 2018. Remember back in 2014 when "Vampire Diaries" star Steven R. McQueen stated his desire to play Nightwing? He even pursued it for quite some time, especially back when TNT was still interested in the project. Well, with opportunities opening in both movie and TV side, looks like he might finally have a shot after all. "Titans" is expected to star Dick Grayson as the leader of characters like Starfire, Raven, and others. So it sounds like the roster will be precisely like in the comics.

Greg Berlanti, the godfather of all the recent DC series on CW Network, is of course one of the man behind this. He's teaming up with Akiva Goldsman, a very excited Geoff Johns, and Sarah Schechter to write and produce the series. Intriguingly, these guys chose the name "Titans" while dropping the 'Teens' part completely. Does this mean the characters are going to be grownups, then? I actually thought this would be WB/DC's attempt to enter the young adult market, following Marvel's foray with their upcoming new shows. Looks like that might not be the case. But hold on right there... apparently, this show won't even air in the CW (so don't expect crossovers with "Arrow" or "The Flash"! LOL)! It will arrive in a whole new platform, a DC-branded, direct-to-consumer digital service. Developed by WB Digital Networks Group, this service is designed to deliver immersive experience for DC fans. So general audience aren't allowed, right? Bummer. It remains to be seen if this is a good strategy, but I guess we'll see what happens next year.

The good news is, that new series will not be alone in the new service. "Young Justice: Outsider", the long awaited third season of the fan-favorite series, will also arrive in it. In this new season, the teenage heroes will take on meta-human trafficking and terrifying threat it creates. Sam Register, Brandon Vietti, and Greg Weisman are producing, while Phil Bourassa is tackling as the art director for WB Animation. All of these names are people who are experienced in animated series/movies. For the time being, both series are still in early stages of production, so it might still take a while before we get to know about them.

Many fans of the series have been asking for this new season, and some like yours truly, have wanted a Teen Titans live action show. Looks like, we have received our request. But here's the big question: how would people react with the fact that it won't air on broadcast network like CW or Cartoon Network? I'm aware that the popularity of "Young Justice" and the hype for "Titans" alone could attract audience to check out this new DC-only service. But it's also still unclear whether the service is free or comes with a price. If it's the latter, would audience be willing to pay a sum amount of money, just to catch these two shows? I kind of doubt it. Perhaps if they also move "Powerless", "Gotham", and all those CW shows? Hmmmm. I personally would decide it after proper consideration first, because just like what's happening with Marvel's "Runaways" that will only be available on Hulu... I need to make sure if it's really worth the price. Because if otherwise, it's totally a no go!

Dynasty Warriors

Previously announced in December 2016, updates regarding "Dynasty Warriors 9" can soon be expected to arrive next month. While the cause for such long delay was never explained, producer Akihiro Suzuki did openly apologize for it via Twitter. Since May is just a day away (LOL!) in the Asian region, can we expect some information real soon? I hope so. Let's just wait and see...

Marvel vs. Capcom

The first story trailer for the "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite" game has been released, and several new characters have been confirmed. Uhmm... okay, perhaps the phrase 'new characters' is pushing it a little too much. I think the better term would be 'returning characters'. Why? From the Marvel side, we're getting the jade giant Incredible Hulk, Thor Odinson, Hawkeye, and Rocket Raccoon... AGAIN. While from the CAPCOM side, we'll be seeing Interpol agent Chun-Li, cyber ninja Strider Hiryu, and the hunky zombie-killer Chris Redfield... AGAIN. These characters sounds all too familiar! Yes, because they have all been featured in previous titles before this. Which means... the game's more of the same, huh? And here I thought we're going to see fresh names like Star-Lord from "Guardians of the Galaxy", or even Rashid from "Street Fighter V"!

The only new characters announced to be joining Captain Marvel, are Ultron and Sigma (who will sadly be available as post-launch DLC). They serve as villainous characters from both sides, who will form the game's main villain when they combined into... *drumrolls* Ultron Sigma. In theory, this idea makes sense, since both are digital and mechanical beings. But will this work story-wise? It sure looks like it, because the trailer looks tense and serious, but honestly who knows. It's a pretty gutsy move though, because I don't recall CAPCOM have done this before in previous title. CAPCOM have also released a new gameplay video, that focused on the recently announced characters. Dang it, seeing Hawkeye teams up with Chris makes me all giddy with joy! LOL. We also get to see the Space Stone in effect, as it is used to trap opponents in a limited force field. That looks fun!

The game is set to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 19th, 2017. Pre-order has been made available at most online/offline retailers, and there are two premium editions that devoted fans can choose to purchase. You can read the pricing and details on the Capcom Unity blog. So far, we only have 14 characters (8 from Marvel, and 6 from Capcom) in the game, so there will be at least 10 others or even more. Here's hoping that we'll be getting actual new characters like Scarlet Witch, Vision, or unexpected Capcom characters like Miles Edgeworth in the next update. Crossing my fingers...

Nintendo

The sale of their console, the Nintendo Switch has successfully topped 2,74 million worldwide so far. In just one single month of release! And the company has just recently announced the arrival of Nintendo 2DS XL. The latest in the 3DS family that already looks slick and colorfully better than its tacky non-flippable original, and might be primed to mark the final stage of the 3DS era. After all, there was that rumor that a handheld only Switch Mini is in development to replace it.

Yet Nintendo isn't stopping with the news front, no sir! It just made another surprising statement that undeniably turned people's head: they are skipping E3... AGAIN! Sure, they are famous for being notoriously absent in the recent years, but one would assume that they would be go all out this year to promote Switch and its relatively small catalogue of games. And some of us have also thought that the company will be using this opportunity to announce the heavily rumored "Pokemon Stars". A title that would totally benefit the console's appeal. I guess we're all caught off guard, eh? Then again, it seems they might be holding a Digital Event once again to compensate, because they ARE extremely comfortable with their "Nintendo Direct". So I guess, the likelihood of "Pokemon Stars" being announced still exists after all, huh? Crossing my fingers again...

Disney Fairied rewrite project ₍^ >ヮ<^₎ .ᐟ.ᐟ

Are YOU a big fan of the Tinker Bell movies, and are YOU tired of the constant inconsistencies and plotholes that are caused due to the shoehorning of certain concepts? Well boy do I have something for you!

So, I've been a big fan of the movies for a few years now. I watched them a lot as a child, and when I rewatched the first two with my cousin a few years ago, I ended up getting obsessed. But just because the franchise/movies happens to be a sort of special interest of mine, it doesn't mean I think they're the best movies ever. There are a lot of cool concepts which were removed or changed, and with each movie came new plotholes and inconsistencies. I also think there are a lot of characters that they could have done a little more with. Therefore I've decided to start my own little rewrite project. Nothing major, just a fun little thing where I rewrite the movies, redesign the characters and possibly change some concepts and aspects of Pixie Hollow. Once again, nothing major, just a silly thing I want to work on.

Now, what are some things that I would like to work on/change?

i would like to somehow bring back the original plot of the first movie, but still keep the seasons concept

giving Pixie Hollow history with a proper timeline

making the fairies look more like creatures, and each talent having these tiny differences in their physical appearence (ig feathers in hair for fast flying-talents, or some kind of symbol for each talent)

along with that I'd kind of like to change how the talent ceremony or whatever works

evolving the seasonal ministers a little more, like establishing their individual relationships with eachother, but also a little more about the minister role itself and how ministers are chosen

also i'm bringing back the minister of winter

I'm going to post more about this in the future, but this will have to be it for now. I don't really want to explain everything in complete detail right away.
