Listening to MAG Season 5 Q&A - Part 1 and hearing Jonny talk abt how if he were to write more Magnus stuff he’d probably do a prequel but it would undermine parts of the original story and writing so he’s not very interested in writing spinoff stuff is kinda fun while knowing full well that Magnus Protocol exists

How many do you have for each bracket/which roles need filling

i haven't divided them into the 3 categories i wanted yet, since I don't know if it will be possible to even do 2, but here's a list of all the currently nominated characters, if that helps? im tempted to just skip the whole poll and declare gerry the winner, you'll see why

entries that said Michael Distortion went for The Distortion, while entries that said Michael Shelley/Distortion went for both, and Helen Richardson or Michael Shelley without mention of the Distortion went to the specific characters. there's 2 Elias cause one person specifically submitted the original one which i assume to be pre-jonah. and even then my total is 63. i could run a 32 bracket but it's not balanced between main and minor characters either so i'm not sure what to do right now. considering of adding some on my own, ig? like since some artifacts were submitted as characters i could include the coffin or the calliope as well?

i expected more entries, is all, so i think my plans were a bit too ambitious, but i can adapt

ive been thinking about the mike crew thing, someone referred to him as a minor character w major influence, and i believe they put gerry in the same category whoch is interesting cause i see gerry as a main cjaracter even tho he literally isnt, huh?

so... what if i add some categories? idk how exactly its gonna go, and i might have to do polls to see how ppl feel about some characters, but some that i thought were like

Spoilers ahead!

archive assistants (the whole team from sasha maybe even including georgie?) / previous generation w mary, gertrude, leitner, salesa /original generation, maybe? jonah, simon, smirke etc? / avatars (jon would be here) like anabelle, jared, jude perry, now idk if this should include "monsters" like Not Them and The Distortion? or give monsters their own category? cause then this is another gray area cause u could argue all avatars are monsters? maybe have a main avatars and minor avatars so ppl like jon, the distortion, anabelle who are pretty major characters would also be up against the seaaon baddies like prentiss, nikola, elias, peter lukas... but then idk if simon fairchild and reina would go here or in previous generations???? parallel id have a "minor character w major impact" category for ppl like michael crew, gerry, i think agnes would fit here tbh?

idk i mightve bitten off more than i could chew lmao im not gonna give up but i think ill have to restructure things, any suggestions?? inbox is open!
