Noooooo, I didn’t draw kaijus to put them into DMC...

Titanus Ghidorah (my redesigned version) - Titanus Daevas and Apocryphan - Titanus Shinchū

Titanus Ghidorah:

Ichi is the main controller of the body. A prideful, borderline arrogant kaiju, Ichi acts as the mastermind or intelligent one of the three heads. He’s the one that plans everything and keeps Ni and San under control; he is capable of keeping his emotions under wrap, so no one knows what he’s visibly feeling at that point in time, though his actions says a lot more than his words do, despite him enjoying long and debatable conversations. Easily the most level-headed one and to keep focused on the main goal, unlike his fellow heads. He knows that brute force or manipulation alone isn’t enough to crush his enemies, so often, he blends the styles together to cause mass carnage and annihilate his enemies with lethal efficiency. Godzilla hates Ichi the most out of the heads.

Ni is the second head, and the most destructively violent one of the three heads. His head structure is made to cause absolute catastrophe by having a bite force stronger than Ichi or San’s, and no kaiju (minus Godzilla) is able to escape his jaws alive, or at the very least, shattered bones and profusive bleeding (that is difficult or impossible to stop due to venom glands Ni has). His electrical breath is the most devastating, but severely difficult to control, and more than likely can have just as much damage done to themselves as to the rest of the world. To rival his power, Ni is the boaster and highly aggressive. He sees the world as his playground - he is the king of Kings, he doesn’t have to follow orders (except he does, as Ichi controls a majority of the body). If an area in the world is too peaceful, or there is no battles amongst the kaiju, Ni is the most likely one to start it, as there always has to be conflict, or else what is the point in the world that they live in? Though, admittedly, the only one who can keep Ni calm for long periods is Mothra; no one is sure why this is the case, but kaiju and humans alike don’t complain much, considering Ni is a walking disaster ready to burst at any given moment.

San is the third and last head. The most “innocent” one of the heads, San has appropriately adopted the name of “Kevin”, given to him by the humans who took notice of his dorky personality, but despite his pleasant mannerisms, he has his own dark side. Internally, San is sadistic, manipulative, and cunning. His outside personality isn’t an entire lie, but it’s not the entire truth. The reality is that his base nature fights against the kaiju he tries to be, a tug of war that lasts millennia with neither half gaining the upper hand for too long. San tries his best, he really does, but the scent of freshly drawn blood and screams of tiny humans tempts his inner bloodlust, and so he loses himself in the moment, focused only on the ruin that follows. He would cause chaos alongside the other two heads, but wouldn’t immediately end his opponents. Instead, he’d be the type to drink their blood, throw out taunts, mocking them, insulting them, using his slick words to get them to slip. He’d even eat the ashes of dead humans that have been vaporized, just to watch the horror fly on the faces of the humans who knew the ash pile moments before. Once San snaps out of it, he feels nothing but overwhelmingly crushing guilt; he knows he can’t be forgiven for the crimes, and knows that his thoughts would claw him from the inside out. But he tries to not let it get to him. The only thing to keep them at bay is try to make up what he’s done, to be the kind kaiju people knew him as, but trust is a tricky thing, and San often finds himself alone. No one knows how to pull him from his darkened state, though who knows, maybe he’ll find someone... maybe. (Oh, and he uses his horn to skewer and slash body parts off his opponents, that horn is razer sharp and can cut through steel painfully easily.)

Titanus Daevas:

Daevas is the first daughter of the Queen, Mothra, and the Devil, King Ghidorah. While it may appear that she has two heads that are separate individuals, it’s actually just Daevas, but split into two heads... if that makes sense. The extra head allows her to watch from both behind or below, while the other watches the front or above; additionally, it also means shes able to grasp objects or other kaiju, as with her front limbs, they’re more so meant for tearing into flesh with their serrated edges than actual carrying. Height wise, she’s taller than her father, though in overall bulk/mass, she is lighter with a more sleek build. Her tail is like that of a scorpions, with the curved edge holding a prevalent venom that prevents blood clots and induces mild paralysis, hindering her opponents limbs so that she may use her electrical beams to blast the opponent into puddles of blood. Or, if she so wished, she could use the barbs on her tail to slam into the opponent and have them break off similar to spines, though usually the process to regrow the barbs takes a considerable amount of time, so its only used for emergencies.

Daevas (or Olvida, her human name) is a lost soul making due with what she has. Due to Ichi not caring for Daevas like how Ni does, he ultimately abandons her, which causes Ni to try and blow apart Ichi’s head; he does deeply care for his daughter, but his insecurities are deep, as he fears that he’d accidentally hurt or kill Daevas, or that he’d be a horrible example of a parent and lead her down a dark path like the one he has treaded upon. Ichi, noticing the internal struggle, manipulates Ni into giving into his head (as in reality, Ni isn’t as strong-willed like Ichi is), and convinces him that Daevas would be a lot safer being in the hands of Mothra than his own, and Ni caves. He was broken, and Mothra attempted to intervene, to try and reign in Ni and bring out his parental side, but he is too far gone, Ichi wormed too far into his psyche to where Ni wishes he didn’t have Daevas. He was always going to be a failure of a father, so why did he bring in such a precious life that he would inevitably destroy? His thoughts crushed Mothra, and it led to a long-felt depression to come crashing down. She started blaming herself for what has happened; this reflected in how she cares for Daevas (and soon, her younger sister, who has yet to hatch), where Mothra found herself lost more in her thoughts than caring for her daughter, and Daevas noticed. She wasn’t dumb, she noticed the look in her mother’s eyes. Looking at Daevas made Mothra succumb deeper into the abyss, a constant reminder of how Ni left, leaving Daevas fatherless. He was always around, yet, he ignored Mothra and Daevas whenever they were nearby, but when Daevas wanders up to him? He’d snap, but it was a cover up to try and prevent the merciless tears from pouring out. Daevas never tried again.

An accident, that’s what she convinced herself she was. Her thoughts were even more solidified where one day, her mother was gone. Daevas had a dream before she woke up to Mothra being missing, the soft whispers of “I’ll be going away soon, but I’ll be back, I promise” resonated within her skull, and the young kaiju knew that those words were rooted in reality, but it wasn’t the full truth. A day she waited, a week, a month, a year. She wasn’t coming home, she had lied. Daevas left the nest that was once her home, knowing that she had been abandoned by the only hope left in her life - she was pained by this, oh the shattering of her heart echoed throughout her chest, making it hard to swallow and hard to breathe. But she endured, she was just an accident after all, along with her younger sister. Her sister was born after Ni had left the family, and was still only a larva when Mothra had abandoned them. She was weaker than Daevas, significantly weaker; she struggled to eat, her moves were sluggish, and her exhaustion knew no limits. Other kaiju would’ve abandoned her, seeing her as more of a burden to their survival than their own kin, but Daevas wouldn’t be like their parents. She cared for her sister, took her with on her travels. They never stayed in one spot, always moving, always surviving. Soon, she has reached her young adult hood, and her sister began to change into her moth form, though she was still reliant on Daevas. Daevas didn’t mind, she was her sister after all, and no matter the day, she’d care for her little sister. Even if she would die in her attempts to keep her safe.

Daevas is a survivor, so she doesn’t interact with the other kaiju in fear they’d attempt to harm her or her little sister. Not to mention, they’d think she was the hidden heir to the Devil, and while she doesn’t wish to be associated with her father, part of her yearns to be recognized by him, to at least be acknowledged that the power she has gives her great potential. Dae isn’t one to dwell on those thoughts for too long though, as it would risk the safety of both her and her sister, so she buries it under hard work hunting for food and making sure her sister is safe. Now, I wouldn’t say she’s the type to get over trauma easily, but Dae always attempts to look at it from a logical stand point: those kaiju that affected her the most aren’t in her life anymore, and so theres no point in dwelling on the suffering she had to go through. If she ever meets them again? She’ll attempt to let the past be the past, and focus on the future. The daughter of the Devil is more of a brawn over brains, but it’s not to say she is “dumb”. She’s a quick learner when it comes to learning to survive, but socializing? She is significantly slower with. She’d be hostile at first, definitely, and will likely keep up a hostile or intimidating front for a while for those she doesn’t know, but slowly over time, she’ll tolerate other kaiju being around. She prefers not to talk though, her speech is kinda... meh. Basic words to get the point across, but if you use too many big words, she won’t understand. Don’t try explaining it to her either, she’ll look at you like you’re an insane mad man.

Titanus Apocryphan:

The son of the Devil and Muto Queen, and the half-brother of Daevas and her sister. He is recognized as the true heir to Ghidorah, though he could care less about such a title. In the end, it is just a title, it has nothing of value and just a term to label something, which quite frankly, Apocryphan hates. King, queen, prince, princess, it doesn’t matter, and so he does get into scuffles with Godzilla sometimes when the King tries to assert his dominance over him, but if theres one thing Apocryphan hates, its control. Now, Apoc is nice, borderlining on a gentleman, but he shares no desires in being an alpha, no desires in having a mate and continuing the bloodline, he just wishes to experience life itself. Call him a hippie, if you will, but he’s the non-pacifist hippie. Just don’t piss him off; Apocryphan is one of the bulkiest kaiju, and he’d definitely body you if you can’t fly or don’t have matching bulk to withstand him toppling you. He’s by no means as agile as say, Daevas, but he does have a nasty lightning breath attack, able to use an EMP ability, and able to deal an AOE electric attack to knock down flyers temporarily. Despite him having appendages similar to wings, they’re more so used for protecting himself; flexible, yet undeniably tough hide, able to withstand extreme temperatures and resistant to damage. He’s the tank, so to speak.

When he was born, he was actually adored by Ichi; the primary head adored his son, pride swelling within his chest at the sight of his spawn. He raises him well alongside his Queen, Barb, teaching him how to fight and in some cases, teaching him brutality if the situation so calls for it. Barb got on his hide for teaching their son such a thing, but it was quickly dismissed by Ichi, who told her he wouldn’t be trying to teach his son such things again. Barb was doting upon her son, though not overly so. She told stories about her species to a young Apocryphan, who was fascinated by such tales, and sometimes his father would come in to tell his own book of history about the kind he was apart of. In short, Apocryphan had the family Daevas had lost, and that made her nearly ignite herself into flames when she finds out about Apoc.

Now to the part I want to write about - Apocryphan and Daevas are heated rivals, but it’s pretty one-sided. Apoc genuinely wants to bond with the half-sister his father never spoke of, but Daevas sees him as just... well, a replacement for her. All those years of surviving, and this is the reward she receives for all of her painful suffering? She brews with intense, bloody hatred at the sight of him, and wants to slash him apart to show her dominance over her younger half-brother. What Apoc sees though? Just someone that’s broken, agonizingly so. So despite all of the near-death scenarios he throws himself into, he still tries to get to know Dae, to hear her story. That’s one she’ll likely never tell Apoc to his face though. His presence alone is a slap to the face for her.

Titanus Shinchū

Ah, the youngest sister of Dae, and older sibling of Apocryphan. Now, admittedly, she is the weakest character out of the ones I’ve written about so far. From what I do have of her, she is admittedly very weak for a kaiju. She can still be a thorn for humanity, but can be dealt with quickly. She was born with an autoimmune disease, so her body is constantly fighting herself, leaving her drained a majority of the time and difficult to... well, live. She doesn’t give up though, she would be the one too angry and stubborn to die, angry at the world. She never is harsh to her older sister, but everyone else, including Godzilla? Sarcastic and rude, always having a biting remark to nip at them. In a way, shes envious about the life they live - they don’t suffer from all the pain she has to go through, must be nice getting to live a normal life, to actually be able to function properly rather than consume yourself from the inside. I imagine her life span would be shorter compared to Dae, though her benefit is that she’s, thankfully, able to be reborn like how her mother does, but it’s always painful for Dae to see her die. A life of suffering, fueled by the anger that Shin has for the world and the hand that was dealt to their family.

She clings to Dae a lot, admittedly. Dae is the wall, but Shin is the ranged attacker. Her wings are like a dragon fly’s, beating fast that generates a lot of heat to pulse through her body, and she’s able to launch electrical spines at her enemies with, honestly, quite good accuracy. She’s fast in the air, like, ungodly fast, but it takes a huge chunk of energy for her to go that fast, so usually she hovers, as it takes less energy, but honestly? Shin prefers not to fly at all; to her, you’re just painting a big ol’ red target on your underbelly, and while she doesn’t mind dying (since she’ll come back anyway), it’s a pain in the ass to get to her moth form again.

Hates Apoc too, but isn’t blinded by nothing but rage like Dae is. She’ll hear him out, if just to quell her curiosity, but then she’d tell him to scurry back to Ghidorah, he isn’t welcomed here.

that’s all im going to write bc my brain go poof back to dmc i gooooo

Okay some redesign notes his design isn't awful but definitely needs work.

Change the hat to a standard crown. It already looks like an apple and the rims can be serpent shaped.

BEEF HIM UP.

Or give him a dad bod!

Also give the cane gold accents

Dark blue or sunrise colored wings that contains stars (think of Teela's sorceress design from the cgi he man). He is called MORNINGSTAR for a reason.

Make his hair a deeper shade of blond so it wont blend in with his skin (or give him a deeper skin tone)

Traditionally depicted with red hair but personally I'd stick to blond or a soft orange pink. Like the dawn. ✨MORNINGSTAR✨

Also wrinkles so he looks older and experienced instead of looking like Charlie's twin

His canon outfit is fine it just needs more gold & other accent colors. Preferably blue for holy or green for wealth/envy.

Eyes can be blue or purple for angelic roots

Imma take a page from another Jeremy Jordan character - BLUE HAIR STREAK

Again, adding more blue/purple balances with red and hints to his angelic roots

he wears a mechanic outfit in his down time because he is an active schemer - an inventor if you will - also bc i love a man in goggles

Demon form is a European style dragon for serpent symbolism. Feathered wings you know like how some species of dinos had feathers.

Now for writing. I honestly dont mind him being the goofy ash dad but GIVE HIM EDGE TOO. He talks more elegantly and archaic, everyone can't be sounding like a late 2000s anime forum edgelord. Make him a diabolical mastermind who sees charlie as a disappointment at first then he realizes he isn't treating her better especially when the angels & Adam start messing with her. Stick with him being the villain in adam and eve's story; he isn't let off easy.

He drove Lilith away with his selfish pursuit of Knowledge. He hopes he can win her back but she still dislikes him, she only hears him out for Charlie's sake.

I'm split on the Adam dynamic; on one hand it makes sense considering Luci ruined his life. But I also think Archangel Michael is a worthy opponent because technically have the same ranking, and Michael is the often the one who banishes Lucifer from heaven in the first rebellion. So Luci has a complex dynamic where in a show about grey morality, Michael is justified in cutting him off and NOT demonized for doing so. Hehe. But also with Luci gradually losing family and love he realize he took it too far and tries to be supportive or at least not actively threaten people.

Inaccuracy aside, I don't even really mind that he's a separate entity from Satan. Just make Lucifer a bad boy, a truly bad boy. Make him edgy. Make him elegantly evil. Make him goofy. Just give him depth.

#redesign #hazbin redesign #lucifer #hazbin hotel critical #hazbin critical #hazbin critique #hazbin selfship #YES i guess i kinda ship wit him and definitely not because im a jeremy/musical fan

a bit late to the trend but hey i drew a car, albeit a heavily referenced one :p

The featured characters are, from left to right: Lofty from Valiant (the film from 2005) (heavily redesigned, the designs in that movie are worse than the animation), Kinger from The Amazing Digital Circus, and Mastermind from Wings of Fire (not using the GN design, but more or less matching his description from the book.)

#my art #fanart #redraw #wings of fire #wof #mastermind wof #the amazing digital circus #tadc #tadc kinger #valiant 2005 #valiant film #why did i spend two hours on this ToT

Hazbin Hotel: Alastor Redesigned!

Here we have Alastor, a radio host and former hunter! I decided to keep the deer element for one reason and that would be my first impression of the original Al. He is not inspired by a well-known creature in native-american culture. Although, I assumed the original was said creature, I decided to throw any traits that would make people assume that he is said creature. Why did I keep the deer part? Well, when I first saw the original the only reason I assumed Alastor was a deer in the afterlife was because he was cursed to be one as he is a hunter. I don’t know the actual story for the original but I liked the idea that he was cursed to be a deer because of being a hunter. It’s his punishment. Anyways, being a hunter was a big part of his life and he would often murder other hunters in the forest for the fun of it. It started with hunters he was in competition with then as time went on, any human was fair game to him. He doesn’t eat them because I saw no reason to keep the cannibal trait the original has. Instead, he just buries the bodies near his secluded home and likes to keep specific parts of the body or anything on the person as a trophy to put on his wall.

My redesign Al cannot shape-shift and this is how he normally looks. Despite me throwing away his original trait of voodoo magic, all demons in hell have some sort of powers/abilities. One of his powers includes the ability to talk to other citizens of hell without having to show up in person. The said victim would still see him, he is just not physically present. He can talk through any radio no matter how old or modern it is. Alastor can still make deals but this was a power granted by Lucifer himself. While I’m still expanding on this idea, Alastor can conjure up a “physical” contract for a person to sign. (Think of Disney’s Ursula)

While the following may not be magical powers, Alastor is a mastermind of manipulation and deception. This trait was something he had when he was living as he uses it strategically. It’s part of the reason why he has such a high status in hell as he uses these traits to become more powerful. He makes deals with anyone, including humans and angels as his contracts are binding which means that anyone that signs one is obligated/forced to serve him. While he enjoys ruining someone’s life and deceiving others, he craves control and power which is the main motivation for his actions.

Lastly, the reason I added an x on his forehead and replaced the irises with x’s is due to the fact that he shot himself after he was caught murdering in his lifetime. This wasn’t done out of depression and regret as it was done out of pride/ego.

Done with drawing Kokichi as a Hazbin Hotel Overlord :D

Notes:

-General angel imagery for his deceit (a demon that looks like an angel)

-Wings are also fake, he can't fly

-Pink colours for pink blood

-His chest is constantly open to expose his insides to both represent how he died and Kaito's jacket

-Monokuma eye under his own, either to represent his mastermind act or cause it's a symbol all sinners that died in DR get

-Not pictured, he has poisonous blood cause of the Strike-9

(I might redesign this-)

Alright I guess i have to make a tag because this slaps!

Sorry if you've already answered something like this before but I'd like your thoughts on cinderella 3? As a huge cinderella fan I can see the appeal it has to the wider audience but idk I've never gelled with it?

No worries! I'm in the same boat as you, for a multitude of reasons. I still remember, when I saw the third movie for the first time, thinking it was okay but then never wanting to watch it again. Something about it didn't ring true, but it just wasn't on my mind much and I never felt compelled to revisit it (as opposed to the original which I rewatched on a daily basis at a certain point of my life). Then, later, as an editor, I returned to it to continue engaging with the Cinderella fandom by giffing things that hadn't been made before. I tried to admire it for a while, because that film brought many people to Cinderella that otherwise didn't like her but...the more I sit with it, the more I realize how much it isn't for me. Now, it isn't that it's bad. That's a subjective thing, obviously, and it has a comparatively higher production value for a film of its kind. However, I think the way the film presents itself as blending with canon is extremely flawed and I think it's led the fandom to a lot of conclusions that I'm downright uncomfortable with. It's fine as its own thing, but I'm growing increasingly uneasy with it being considered a canonical part of the fandom.

Cinderella herself. No adaption of Cinderella ever gets Cinderella right (the live action is the worst offender) but I think, in some ways, it's more glaringly obvious here because it's supposed to be a direct continuation of the one media that did get Cinderella right? No one could ever live up to Ilene Woods' Cinderella, and I know that's an impossible assignment, due in no small part to how natural she was in the role and how it overlapped with certain areas of her personal life. Jennifer Hale is fine enough but her performance doesn't ever feel distinctly Cinderella and seems more suited for the video game performances that she's amassed a ton of critical and commercial success with. While she's given interesting responses regarding her view of Cinderella, I don't think I'd trust her with carrying the mantle (again, she's said intelligent things but she downplays Cinderella by insinuating she was limited in the first movie and how her own portrayal is more of a 'warrior' and how Cinderella is everyone's favorite princess until they grow up and 'rightfully' start to like more action oriented princesses). The film itself doesn't even understand Cinderella and just gives her a Belle and Ariel redesign, along with a soaring Broadway song where they completely change her singing style. It also changes her entire motivation to be fighting for love (a step back and not how she was in the original, I also think it lends credence to criticisms saying she's silly for only falling in love after one dance unfortunately whereas the original, in my opinion, didn't fall into that trap) and there's so many instances where they frustratingly make her slow ("Lift the spell- make him remember!! Bi- ahh!!"). I also think she's relegated to a side character in her own film and Anastasia is treated infinitively better, which is an issue to me. I also hate how they robbed her of her greatest victory. Cinderella producing the slipper and being her own savior might be my favorite scene in film history. Taking that away from her and making her openly stumble in front of Lady Tremaine, someone who just locked her in the attic and abused her her entire life, was...a choice. Just like her almost handling her *glass* slipper to Lady Tremaine, only for it to be broken, was. It just made her look dense and the entire thing came across as un-cohesive with what was previously established. Like, I'm sorry but...

This Cinderella was so raw, so layered, gritty, real. She grew up in an abusive household with no resources, skillfully masterminding her own exit. She understood the nuances of her captor, and always kept one trick up her sleeve. When she descended upon the staircase, she made her way through her stepfamily actively discouraging her- an orphan with no one else in the world- to the visiting nobility. They called her ridiculous, impossible, out of her mind, just a scullery maid from the kitchen- an imaginative child. She made her way past them, knowing that- if the grand duke believed them or left or if any detail of her plan fell through- she'd forever be stuck with these three women that would practically kill her once the door shut. But she persisted, and even when Lady Tremaine thought she was the one with the trick up her sleeve, smashing the glass slipper, Cinderella pulled a reverse uno and produced something no one else thought possible- the slipper's mate. Compare that to...

The third movie where Cinderella has to run down the stairs, escaping from her attic entrapment, and waves around her glass slipper in front of her stepmother, explaining to her in full detail that transpired the night previously at the ball, putting herself in a position that 4 seconds later allowed Lady Tremaine to crash that slipper and gaslight her into forgetting. Like...why??? I have so many issues with the way Cinderella is depicted in the film, but we'll leave it here (not even going to get into why people only like her in this version more because she displays more masculine strength by "fighting" and being physically combative which...again, there's more than one way to be strong and the fact that they tried to make her just like any other modern Princess is disappointing to me).

The Anastasia problem. This is something that only continues to upset me more and more as time goes by. In the original film, it's established that Anastasia actively abused Cinderella for the better part of her life. She taunted her, lead to Cinderella being punished multiple times, and blocked off Cinderella's escape or pursuit of a healthy life so many times. The way she's enabled the cycle of abuse to continue and actively, not only participated it but, spearheaded it on a few occasions, explains to us why she's the antagonist. I think it's dangerous that she appears in such a sympathetic light, especially without ever once offering a substantial apology to Cinderella. All of Anastasia's actions in this film, too, are completely self-motivated and I just think it lead to this trend where a lot of people see Anastasia as the protagonist (because she has the most screentime in this movie) and I just think it's poor form to sympathize with an abuser and, frankly, a dangerous moral to espouse. Like, even in the finale where they show Cinderella trying to reason with Anastasia is so toxic. Someone who's been on the receiving end of an irrational abuser's whims their entire life should never try to reason because "they know a good person is there, deep down." And I've seen a lot of people call them "sisters" and talk about how Anastasia had it worse than Cinderella because she's considered conventionally unattractive...which. I could write essays about this and how it's projection, but physical beauty doesn't go that far in this universe. Walt even had an animator redrew Anastasia's smile to be more attractive because he wanted all the characters to be somewhat sympathetic in favor of realism, as opposed to 'all good' and 'all bad.' Again, in this universe, the Prince sees an endless line of beautiful women in amazing clothing so that isn't what attracts him to Cinderella. However, I do think it's worth noting that Cinderella ceases to exist in her society when she doesn't appear 'eligible' by having markers of wealth. She's symbolically stripped of her dignity and hidden away, all of her opportunities taken from her. You know who never suffers that lived experience? Anastasia and Drizella. They're slovenly, over-privileged, and completely self-motivated and this sudden rewrite that they're poor victims because, in our world, they wouldn't be seen as beautiful and that qualifies them for a more traumatic upbringing than an orphan they helped abuse is ridiculous to me.

The disregard for the original characterizations. There are so many things here that just don't make sense. In the original, the King was hellbent on getting grandchildren and even displays a delightful meta commentary multiple times (when it's touched on how ridiculous it is that the Prince would marry any girl that fits the slipper, since that's been a critic of the original story, the King shrugs off that his son said it in a lovesick stammer and sees this as an opportunity to get those grandchildren "that's his problem; he's given his word, we'll just hold him to it). All of a sudden, this King is telling his son it's ridiculous to marry a girl who wears a size 4 1/2 and that's no reason to choose a bride??? And is showing Anastasia his late wife and trusting the clumsiest person I've ever seen with a delicate seashell? OKAY. Not only that, but just so many things that made the original characters unique are eroded so they can be like every other Renaissance character. Like, Lady Tremaine was such a great villain because of her presence and charisma and her cunning virtue. To omit all of that and how her waving around a magic wand and yell Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo was unnecessary.

Too much mice. I know many feel that way about the first film, but I think they were skillfully intertwined. It was way too much here and there was no place for them.

The art design and color palette is more gaudy and unappealing to me. I could keep going but lol

My version of Loonatics Unleashed (Part 2)

This is just my interpretation of this universe of "Loonatics Unleashed", don't take it as a summary of the series or as absolute truth to interpret your version. NO! It's just MY view and you have every right to disagree. Furthermore, there will be low-level words (even though I censor some) and there may be sensitive topics for certain people. Besides, this refers to the universe of Loonatics Unleashed, so for those who don't care, you can skip this blog, but for those who are a fan or if this interests you, you can continue reading. Part one of this blog is at the link below if you want to see it.

Part 1

Hi... I'm here again! Yeah, right? I posted that ls Loonatics blog in an unpretentious way, not expecting so many people to see it... And then I come across the post being reblogged and liked by A LOT of people... Ok, I'm exaggerating... But that amount is almost the same one I get in my regular Darkwing Duck posts, which is a surprise... I thought there weren't THAT many people who knew and liked Loonatics. So, right? Part 2 for you just to clear my conscience and talk about some other ideas I had. And it's not the character redesign yet, you'll have to wait for that... -w-

I again want to give credit to @drakepad-luv-2000, she was one of the reasons I'm doing these blogs (I'm sorry I got your pronouns wrong before, seriously-). And if you, a Loonatics fan, want to make a blog with your Headcanons, I just say that you can give credit to both of us. Having said that... Let's go! Again I will divide this post into two topics... The first will be highlighting more things in the story (theme, episode structure, tone of the series, etc.) and the second will be talking more about the characters' changed personalities and powers to adapt to this new version of me. So, we continue...

Story Narrative (Reinvented)

If you saw the post before this one and already know a lot about the change in the backstory before the story and the past of the protagonists, you will understand this topic better. It's much more about what the narrative structure will actually be like... In this case, again it would be divided into seasons, and here... I think I put an average of at least 6 seasons. Then you ask... "6 SEASONS FOR THIS VERSION OF YOU?!?! WHY?!?!"... Because I'm crazy and I like to suffer- I'm joking, but there's a hint of truth... I literally I have so many ideas for this series that there is no way I can only do 3 seasons. It has ideas for villains, for OCs, for the protagonists themselves, even for some secondary characters! So it will have to be 6 seasons AT LEAST (because I'm going to increase the number-). But, well... Having defined how long this series will be... What would be the ideal tone for it? I'm going to talk about the first three seasons, which kind of gives an overview of the rest of the series.

First Season

The first season, as you can imagine, is an introductory season, which introduces the protagonists, supporting characters and initial villains, where it also presents many of the dynamics and shows the main plot of the story. The season that people, most of the time, find the most boring because it's the beginning, but in this case it would be equally important, not only because it's the beginning (obviously), but it defines a lot of the dynamics of both the heroes and villains. I also want to explore a lot of their personalities, so there will be solo episodes for the protagonists (and considering that the seasons have an average of 20 episodes each, it's reasonable), this includes Zadavia, because honestly in the original series she didn't have a personality or defined relationships. It has the classic "villains of the week" episodes, but in this case... I like to ONLY get what was relevant. In other words, villains like those ice Vikings will be discarded because they are not exactly relevant, unlike Mastermind who has a story behind her that is interesting. I'm talking about the FIRST SEASON, because, in addition to helping a lot with the writing, because we'll have about five villains to stay (including Optimatus), it's also possible to add an additional supporting character (some are OCs or reimaginings of characters? Yes, but that's because the series only had Zadavia as a supporting character at the beginning, so... Leave me...). There is the fact that there will also be a villain in the middle who, basically, was from the second season, but I changed it to the first because he is too important to discard for the second... Which is General Deuce, who will be at the Optimatus' side as his right-hand man (he's basically the villain's main "henchman") and you can draw a good parallel with Ace. As you can see, the first season really is an introduction, but I made it more cohesive, less "random" and gave the characters more focus.

Second Season

The second season is where the story really starts to have a clearer narrative line (even with fillers), it's where the narrative starts to take more serious turns and we get more of the characters themselves. Do you have OCs? I think there's a lot here... But there's also a lot of change in terms of characters... Like Melvin The Martian and Rip Runner. These episodes include more of the characters that are inspired by Looney Tunes. Support characters... There's Zadavia, obviously... But there's Tweentums who is basically the prince of a planet there... Here I'll give him a different personality and that includes changing a lot of his relationship with Danger Duck (because honestly I felt really sorry for Duck for taking care of the brat-), and also changes Sylth Vester, which... You can believe it, but this villain here I'm going to give a nice makeover and he's going to be a villain of respect! As for the conclusion of Optimatus... In fact, I'm going to leave a lot of it for the third season, where it will become clearer what could happen at the end of it there. In the second season there will also be a lot of the evolution of the main characters individually, kind of like how they would continue here and so on, where everything will combine in the third season. And speaking of her....

Third Season

The third season is the famous time "When sh1t starts to stink". There won't be any character deaths (or maybe there will be, I don't know...), but this is where a lot of the things that happened in the previous seasons will come to fruition and with force in this third. This is kind of where most of the villains I highlighted will come together and cause chaos... In other words, there will be dynamics between villains, internal intrigues, etc... It's also where a lot of heavy scenes can occur and kind of It's where it separates from what the series was before to now, where the direction becomes more serious. Okay, it was like that before, but now it's more so. And this is where the Loonatics' direction becomes most unpredictable. What do I mean by that? It's a secret, I won't tell you now... But you will understand in the distant future. I'm just saying that some characters will have suffered a little...

So the tone of the seasons kind of escalates... In the next seasons there may be comedy again, but at specific moments that are conducive to that, especially because it can't be 100% serious. But that's kind of the tone of the narrative... Now let's get to what I consider the soul of the story...

Personality and Powers of the Protagonists (Reinvented)

I'm going to speak again in opening order, so... Let's get started...

• Ace Bunny

Okay, I'll admit that Ace is my least favorite... Because his personality in the original series is a bit "empty"... But considering he would have the vibe of a confident but insecure character... I got it from base Sonic's personality and also Leonardo's (from Rise of TMNT). But I think this is the one that, ironically, would be the most underestimated by the villains and basically the civilians he saves... Because he's charismatic, but he doesn't exactly have a certain "hero look". He may be confident, but his experience is zero, just like in combat. As much as he learned to fight, his type of fighting is much more street fighting, he doesn't have a lot of technique, so his arc is kind of knowing how to be a hero (just like most of the team). But there's another issue that anyone who's seen his story already understands between the lines... As for his powers... Honestly, I don't like his laser beam powers so much, because they don't have any parallels with Bugs Bunny... So I changed... His powers NOW are, first, being able to summon any MELAN WEAPON (that is, without firearms) and explosives, and the second is to make long-distance portals (with the condition that he has to KNOW where it is, because otherwise it's the same situation as him ending up going to the wrong place.

• Lexi Bunny

Ok... Honestly... I couldn't change ANYTHING about her personality... Because she's already very good, what I changed most was that her passion would be more for music and her powers... And also that she and Ace are brothers- But, powers! Here I didn't change that much, but her psychic rays were converted a little to Telekinesis, that is, she can levitate herself and objects and people, and the power to manipulate plants will become more evident.

• Danger Duck

This is another one that I didn't exactly change much, but I went deeper into it... Here he is another insecure character who always compares himself with others, but who hides this through arrogance and arrogance. He also has some Tsundere traits, that is... He pretends that he doesn't care or doesn't care about his companions, but deep down he cares about each one of them. And also... He is very VERY careful with children, he opens up more to children (you can already see that the Tweentums relationship and he can change a little-). As for the powers... I keep them the same, the random energy orbs and the teleport really suit him...

• Slam Tasmanian

Slam is another one that I ended up changing A LOT... And here I get a lot of the fans' interpretations, of him being the "big daddy" of the group, in the sense of being the one who protects the team the most and who is there to listen and help everyone. I still maintain the characteristic of him being a glutton, because it really draws a parallel with Taz, but here he has the ability to speak, but he prefers to remain quiet and more to himself. The powers... I changed it a little so as not to be a "copy and paste" of Taz... In this case, the powers are, first, going into bestial mode (something similar to the Hulk, so he only activates this mode when necessary , because he attacks EVERYTHING in front of him), and the second is the same as one of Ben 10's Aliens, which is that the objects he ingests become balls of plasma that he releases at enemies.

• Tech E. Coyote

I will say that I didn't change his personality or powers much... But I added more things... Besides him being autistic, which makes him have a little difficulty communicating or understanding other people's emotions, He also can't stay in public for a long time... In other words, he has a certain degree of social phobia. He can talk to friends and family, but speaking in public is almost IMPOSSIBLE for him... And he ends up having low emotional intelligence (or EQ), which results in him not knowing how to take care of himself very well when he's in trouble. hyperfocus or making some invention. As he had said, his powers remain the same.

• Rev Runner

My beautiful and adorable Roadrunner with ADHD- Okay, seriously... This one I changed some characteristics, but again his personality is more in-depth. Like the fact that, in the beginning, he was a little afraid of both Slam and Tech, because they are both kind of predators... Again the issue of hyperfocus, but in Rev's case, he manages to control himself in a certain way, the which also causes him to take Tech out of the lab several times. He is also more curious and mischievous in this version, especially because he is the youngest on the team, and he is also quite a gamer. His powers remain the same, with the exception of his GPS vision, because he doesn't use it much in the series and because it's very powerful (and you can't work with it that much...).

Conclusion

Well, guys... That's it! Sorry if it was simpler than the previous one... I just didn't have much to say here... But tell me what you think, your opinions, etc... BYEEE!
