Just finished "Bel-Air" (2022) and LOVED it!

I loved that it didn't try to be the original, but instead went a completely different direction while still remaining true to the soul and intentions of the original.

More detailed analysis and spoilers under the cut.

Not only was the premise of the show the same, but the premise for most of the characters was the same.

Will, of course, an unapologetically Black kid from West Philly who got in a fight and was sent to live with his auntie and uncle in Bel Air

Carlton, a black kid surrounded by mostly white kids and because of that, has either lost touch with his culture or was never connected to it in the first place

Uncle Phil, Will's rich surrogate father uncle who has lost touch with the Black community after having been in a position of power for so long (although this version of Uncle Phil is definitely more out of touch than in the original)

Aunt Viv, a woman who set aside some of her dreams for the sake of her family (she changed the most from all the characters, but I think it works)

Hillary, a charismatic but not academically minded young woman being pushed out of the nest and trying to have it all

Ashley, the little cousin trying to figure out who she is and being a little rebellious in doing so

Geoffrey, the hired help who's more like family

Lisa, the spunky love interest

Jazz, the annoying friend

And then they took a lot of these characters and went TOTALLY different directions with them.

Will actually stayed pretty much the same as in the original, just rode the struggle bus a bit longer

In the original, Carlton dealt with being "racially isolated" (I don’t know if there's an actual word for that) by being the best student, son, and brother he could be and was unapologetically himself (except for that one episode lol) It really wasn't much of an issue. In "Bel-Air", Carlton struggles a LOT. He suffers from pretty severe anxiety, struggles with the pressure to be perfect, does drugs to cope with it, and puts up with his racist "friends'" bullshit. This Carlton is an exploration of what could have happened. I love both Carltons equally for different reasons and I'll fight anyone who disses them.

(Sorry for the rant, Carlton is my favorite character in both shows)

Uncle Phil is more ambitious and frankly, more selfish than in the original. His character development is just *chef's kiss* beautiful though.

Aunt Viv, again, is very different from her 90's counterpart(s) but is a fantastically complex character. Instead of just seeing her as "Mom", we see her as a woman with hopes, dreams, needs, and insecurities. (I loved her too)

Hillary is a LOT more capable (not that that's saying much) and instead of wanting to stay at home and live off of daddy's money forever, she's looking for her own way forward on her own terms

Ashley is also very different. She's queer (obviously) and not as naïve which is fitting as children, girls especially, enter the political world much sooner nowadays thanks to social media

Geoffrey... damn! 007 is right. Instead of a goofy butler he's a sexy "say the word and he's dead, Sir" kinda guy! Really hope we get to see his son next season.

I'm not a huge Lisa fan but she was definitely more sympathetic and real in this version

I like Jazz a lot better in this version. He's more charismatic than he is annoying and honestly, I really ship him and Hillary now.

What I hope we see in season 2

I want Carlton to have an anxiety relapse now that he's trying to quit (because I love angst). Maybe he starts the drugs up again and his family finds out. Maybe he takes it too far and accidentally OD's (which would be another nice callback to the original). Whatever happens, he and his parents need to talk about all the pressure they've been putting him under.

I want to see what happens with Hillary and Ivy and the influencer house. They set it up pretty blatantly so I'm not too worried about it.

Phil dealing with being a house-husband for a little while. I literally can't think of a SINGLE TIME I've seen that on TV

I wanna see Ashley come out. I don't think it would be a really big thing because everyone's cool with it, but it would be cool

I also want to see her first romance so I can live vicariously through her

Hillary and Jazz are going to have to tell Phil about their relationship eventually and I think that would be a perfect time for a callback (AAAGGGHHHHH)

Character Inspiration- Usagi Tsukigami

Both Alice Tsukagami and Usagi Tsukino (top and center right), while no longer holding any actual inspiration to the character herself aside from the name, were the two that sparked the initial creation of Usagi. Somewhere down the line I decided that I wanted to go with a moon rabbit theme when it was announced that Rise was going to be heavily inspired by old Japanese folklore, these two were the first characters I immediately thought of. While Usagi wound up going a completely different path than what I had originally started with, she held a lot of Tsukino's ... I don't wanna say laziness, but if there's something Tsukigami does not want to do, she will complain and avoid it until she's dragged into doing it. Admittedly, I do think she picked up a liiiiittle bit of Tsukino's airheaded-ness.

Zero from Drakengard 3 (Center left) was the primary inspiration of Usagi's initial design. Both of my Rise hunters took a lot of physical inspiration off the DrakenNier series, Usagi's brother taking inspiration from Brother Nier. I could say Yonah was also in mind when working with Usagi. During her very first initial design, Gabi Braun is what I had in mind for Usagi, but wound up pitching it before I even had her created in game.

Hillary Banks (Bottom left) was straight up the bad and boujee lifestyle that wound up imprinting on Usagi. Part of the idea for Usagi's personality was that I wanted her to be the polar opposite of of my first hunter, Itzska, a woman rough around the edges and reeking of confidence/swagger. This is what initially prompted Usagi's incredibly vain and impulsive lifestyle in both her life as a hunter and as a villager of Kamura. As for her confidence... Asuka Langley Sohryu (Bottom Right) has a knack of making her way into all of my characters one way or another. It's a story for another time, but long story short, the death of her father had lead to a domino effect where Usagi has tied her self-worth with her ability to hunt and her looks, desperate for validation almost exclusively towards her mentor, Utsushi. At the start of Rise, Usagi is at her peak confidence, but after an incident during the Apex Arzuros where she falls in battle and because of it leaves Utsushi in critical condition, her confidence as a hunter crumbles to absolutely nothing. This leads her to act more reckless in future hunts, desperate to prove herself as a hunter as she begins to mentally crack from the weight of expectation of the village's safety, even moreso when the Kingdom gets involved. And while Asuka was an inspiration to Usagi's struggles as a hunter--

Cassie Howard (Top Left), outside of sharing daddy issues, nails Usagi on the head when it comes to her struggles as a young woman in love. Desperate for Utsushi's affection, Usagi has no self-respect for herself. She is the type who could make a self-care routine look unhealthy and self-destructive, and will gladly push herself beyond her comfort and/or her limits if it means there's a slight chance that she might earn his attention. This spirals out of control throughout the latter half of Rise as she becomes more unhinged and self-centered, until her inevitable crash and burn mid Sunbreak.

(I promise I got actual content coming, just a lot of drafts and frustratingly nothing to show for it.)
