WHY ILLUMINATION SHOULD Turn The Sing movies into a series (episodes) or a graphic novel series
(Sorry if it's to long I just need to write what I think)
I love the sing movies as much as the next person, its probably one of illuminations best franchises. As much as I lobe the movies and the main characters, I wish they would explain their backstories before meeting buster, And with the third one in development, I'm hoping they do just that. But what if they don't. Well that's what I keep asking myself, how they could show the audience the characters stories or their lives, after and before. Well I've come up with an idea on that. I have 2 possibilities a series (episodes) or a graphic novel series.
Here let me explain what they could do and why.
A series (episodes):
If the writers don't have time to make movies for sing, they can(could) make a series to show what the characters are doing and their development or introduce new characters in the story. And also talk about their life and things that have happened during the movies. It could also have side stories or parts 1 or 2 episodes to see what each character and storyline is doing, and also help character traits be developed in a character, see what their relationship with each other is like, and even help bring in new songs to the show and have each character show their skills. And most importantly answer questions each movie leaves about, and explain things that happened before.
Graphic novels:
We can learn about the characters and their backstories and new characters that might not be mentioned in the movies (or series) And they can address serious topics like death of a loved one more seriously and it can mainly focus on one character and their past and how it happened. And most importantly it would save illumination a lot of time and keep people from asking or waiting for something to happen. And if the characters have a dark backstory, and the people at home don't have to complain that anything risky is put it on theaters or TV and get complaints about it on what their viewers are watching. And ok it's not like animation studios haven't done anything like that. I mean look at Disney & pixar, they've done things parents might not agree with, or things that might scare kids, or done things that people should discuss or things that shouldn't be hard to tell kids and DreamWorks has been doing those things for years it wouldn't surprise me if Illumination did that to. Not that I have a problem with it, I'm glad that animation movie studios are having characters be or talk about things that make them feel real, like family drama, discrimination, Sexuality, mental health, depression, trauma, etc. And like most animation Companies who have not recently but not too long ago have Done these things to give "life" and personality to the characters, but because of the backlash and criticism that that many entertainment studios have gotten, (like Disney and pixar) studios have taken less risks and been struggling with either doing what critic's want and certain audiences want, or doing risks and doing what another certain audience wants or the other way, and if Illumination is worried about taking a risk of any of those things I mentioned, and are afraid that a franchise will be be ruined or canceled because of it, they should make a graphic novel series to explain things or to continue it. There are so many things I would like to say about entertainment studios and criticism and backlash they could get, or the unfair criticism their movies can get, but I'll save that for another post.
Anyway That's my opinion, but what's yours? Answer in the poll and if you have your reasons or opinions comment on what you think, If you don't let my opinion that's okay.
And when the votes have been done, I'll explain more about it.
So, I've been thinking of doing a fanfic of the Sing characters being in the Hunger Games. I'll have some headcanons posted later day/tomorrow. But in the meantime, what do you lot think of that as a possible fanfic idea? Personally, I'm a bit excited and I hope you'll enjoy what I've got planned for it.
Slight spoiler: Marcus (and as a result, Stan, Barry, and of course Johnny) comes from District 2, and in this universe, is a Victor from a previous Games. He's also one of the most infamous Victors for just HOW he won his Games. And how he ended up in the arena to begin with.
When it comes to the side characters in "Sing 2", I'm glad that Big Daddy, Stan and Barry have continued to patch up their relationship with Johnny since the last time we saw them.
From the looks of things, they've decided to give up being robbers and are cooperating with their community service so they can stay out of prison and remain a part of Johnny's life. They've come to respect the fact that Johnny has a gift that will carry him far in life, and they're more than happy to see him accomplishing great things with it. They also throttle Jimmy Crystal's entire security team by themselves, to save Johnny and his castmates from being whacked.
It's rather sweet that the events of these movies have ultimately brought the gorilla clan closer together, and it was very satisfying seeing Johnny's theater family and his gangster family team up for once. If there’s ever a “Sing 3″, I wouldn’t be opposed to these two groups joining forces again in the future.
Eddie who crashes at Steve's after movie night, despite knowing it's a bad idea considering his increasingly out-of-control and hopeless crush. He's supposed to be working on boundaries and expectations, not falling asleep on the couch with his head on the man's shoulder, and waking up being fucking carried upstairs to bed.
The next morning, he plans on making a sneaky exit, but then he hears a stereo playing from somewhere downstairs. He makes his way to the kitchen to find Steve dancing and belting along with I Wanna Dance with Somebody, passionately singing into a spatula.
And so much for Eddie keeping his crush under control, because this? It's the cutest goddamn thing he's seen in his life and he's head over heels.
He can't help walking up to Steve, taking him in his arms, and judging by the way Steve's face lights up, his crush might not be so unrequited after all.
@girl-monkey-odalys: I loved the result so much that I decided to recolor it a little bit and edit the pic by adding more beach and sky (with Microsoft PowerPoint and Snipping Tool) and decided to make it my background for my PC (running Windows 11 Home).
The Result (photo) was requested by @singfanglob (me) and original illustration was by @girl-monkey-odalys.
DeviantArt Story based on this concept coming soon!!!!
PS: Yes, I have Bejeweled 2 (2004), Bejeweled Twist (2008), and Peggle Deluxe (2007) because I played these games when I was little and kinda still do to this day.
The Reason Barry is banned from any and every kitchen the gang will ever be involved with is a mystery that has baffled Johnny his entire life. But neither his dad nor his uncles will ever say what it was.
Marcus: "So when we get to this new place, first order of business. Barry, you're not settin' one foot in that kitchen."
Stan: "Forget cooking. I wouldn't even trust this one with a microwave."
Barry: "Come ON! It was ONE TIME! Are you lot ever gonna let it go?!"
Marcus and Stan: "Never!
Barry: "What I did wasn't even that bad!"
Marcus: "Tell that to the stove you ruined!"
Stan: "We almost got kicked out of that flat 'cause of you!"
Johnny (aged five): "So...what did Uncle Barry do?"
Marcus: "Johnny, you wanna go to the park when we get settled in?"
