This is a quick post and a thread anyone can use of things I want to see in Epic Mickey Rebrushed.

Actual voice acting! In the original game, the characters didn't talk to mimic a silent movie using Warren Spector's Bark-talk technique. The only character who spoke in complete sentences was Yen Sid, the narrator. That changed in the sequel and was one of the few good things that came out of it. Let's agree that if the first game succeeds, we get a complete rewrite for the sequel. But no AI Voices, Please!

More characters that were either cut from the original game or more forgotten characters add more to the world-building. For example, in the original Disney The Gremlins book, the female variants of the gremlins were called Fifinellas, and the children were called the Widgets. Even Gremlin Jamface, who was also cut from the original game, makes an appearance, too. That would be awesome if they're added! Suppose the Hatbox ghost and other cut Haunted Mansion characters appear in the game. In that case, it will bring the Haunted Mansion level to life in a new way. And speaking of characters.

CHARACTER REDESIGNS TO DISTINGUISH WHICH CHARACTER IS WHICH!!! It will help each one stand out so they don't look like clones. For example, Gremlin Prescott had a different design in the sequel. Still, Gremlin Jamface looked like he was Gremlin Markus's twin rather than a cousin.

Return to levels where you can collect film reels you missed in the projectors once you completed the game.

Not getting stuck in boss battles solved since I stumbled on this issue twice, causing me to start the game over. However, I didn't mind because I loved the game.

Cut levels we never got to see? For example, there was supposed to be an Alice in Wonderland level with a Cheshire Cat boss to fight, but it was cut from the final game. I don't know if it will happen, but you'll never know.

That's it for now, but be free to reblog to continue this as a thread. Hope everyone got to learn some interesting facts from this post.

Kingdom Hearts is Like a Chess Game...And It Explains the Characters' Story Arcs

If you've played the series up until KH3 you should know that the story of Kingdom Hearts and the characters within our current tale are likened to pieces on a chess board an ample amount of times, especially where Eraqus and Xehanort's chess-like game are a literal re-enactment of the events of the KH3 Keyblade Graveyard war between Light and Darkness.

Despite Kingdom Hearts' chess-like game being well...chess-like and and not an exact 1:1 of chess, we know at the very least that there is a "King" piece within the Kingdom Hearts' chess game. With the introduction of Verum Rex (Verum meaning true Rex meaning King) in KH3 as well as one of the secret endings with Yozora in Re:Mind being titled "Falsus Rex" (False King) entertains the idea that our KH chess game maintains the same (or similar) chess pieces that regular chess has. That is, a King piece, Queen piece, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops and 8 Pawns.

This being said, I want to explore which Kingdom Hearts character is which chess piece.

We know there is a Verum Rex/True King and a Falsus Rex/False King. Yozora is the True King of his Quadratum Universe. The Kingdom Hearts universe is the unreality-reality mirror to Quadratum, meaning that there must be a True King in the Kingdom Hearts universe as well. The true "King" of the KH Realm is most likely Riku, the Keyblade's original and true chosen and he looks nearly identical to Yozora as opposite Kings on a chessboard would. The False King, in this particular case, would be Sora since he wasn't the Keyblade's true chosen and only obtained the power because Riku fell to darkness and his heart's light passed the Keyblade to Sora making him the replacement/fake. However, I don't believe being a False King is Sora's true role in the Kingdom Hearts game of chess. I believe that if Riku's heart never fell to darkness, Sora would be a completely different chess piece that I will get to later.

The other pieces contain a Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights and 8 Pawns, giving us a 15 pieces (16 total if you include the King). Now in the Kingdom Hearts game of chess there are only 7 (original) Light Guardians, however in the final battle there are actually 10 Total Guardians: King Mickey, Sora, Aqua, Ventus, Axel, Kairi, (and Riku) are the original 7 and then Terra, Roxas and Xion join the fight after being saved. 12 if we count Donald and Goofy and 13 if we count Riku Replica, but it doesn't stop there. Namine made an appearance as well and helped shift the tide by finding Terra's Lingering Will and connecting him to the battle, and Master Yen Sid also joined the fight in the graveyard. The final piece and final character to help in the war is the light from the past, Ephemer.

In other words, we actually have all 16 chess pieces present in the Keyblade War (on both sides if we include Demyx, Vexen and the Xehanort Replicas as the final 3 to the 13 Darknesses). If we match the pieces with the characters I believe it goes something like this based not only on their role within the War but also their importance and contribution to the overall story. Please know that some of these positions can be debated:

Terra - Rook. Terra reconnecting with his Will and Body drastically alter the events of the Graveyard. TerraNort single-handedly defeated all of the Guardians and Terra's intervention stopped them from losing and altered the timeline altogether. Plus, Terra was also carrying the Heart of Master Eraqus who ultimately ended the war by stopping Xehanort. Considering Terra's value to the War, I can't view him as any piece less than a Rook.

Ephemer - Rook. Though he plays a minimal role in the entire Keyblade Graveyard war and no role at all in the entire Xehanort Saga, his small appearance is what saves the wielders from total demise yet again to the Giant Demon Tide. Since he saved Light from expiring at the part in time where they were destined to expire he is a crucial chess piece. And for those who know chess, the Rook piece is required for a "castling" a move that saves the King (or again, the False King) which is exactly, to me, what Ephemer did.

------

Namine - Bishop. Her action of calling Terra changed the tide drastically. However, I will place her position as debateable as there may be others who you could count as a Bishop.

Yen Sid - Bishop. He saves the wielders from the Heartless Army, ultimately saving Light from expiring making him a key player in the War. Without him they most likely would have lost the war or would have been severely weakened and incapable of winning the war.

----------

Mickey - Knight. I give Mickey Knight status due to his Last Stand where he single-handedly pushed back all of the 13 Xehanort Replicas and saved everyone. It may not be timeline altering but it is still a contribution nonetheless.

Aqua - Knight. Debateable position, however Aqua took the lead at several points in the battle and barked battle instructions, almost acting like a military general. Thus I rank her above some of the others.

------------

Roxas - Pawn. Originally a pawn to Org 13, although he went through an incredibly journey he ended up locked away back into Sora's heart and wasn't able to participate or contribute to the war or storyline until he received a Replica body and Sora's connection.

Xion - Pawn. She was used as the 13th Darkness until Sora connected with her and helped Axel remember her.

Ventus - Pawn. He contributed to the war as an Original of the 7 Lights, but he did not alter the timeline nor save the Lights from expiring, nor did he take any lead during the war thus can only be considered a Pawn piece. Not to mention, he took an enormous backseat as a character after being asleep for 11 years. As such he hasn't had much time to shine since his Union Cross days. That may change in the next Arc, especially since he has ties to the Lost Masters.

Axel/Lea - Pawn. A literal Pawn to Org 13 for most of his story until the end when he final joins the the Guardians of Light. In fact, Xemnas even makes a chess analogy when calling Axel a "pawn" during his fight against Isa and Xion.

Donald - Pawn (extension of Sora)

Goofy - Pawn (extension of Sora)

Riku Replica - Pawn (extension of Riku)

And I know many will not like this, but I place Kairi as a Pawn. The reason isn't to shoot the character down, but I believe within the story she is literally treated like a Pawn. Her entire story begins with Xehanort treating her like a Pawn to get to the Keyblade Wielder. Narratively she is only used to push the stories further, constantly getting kidnapped or harmed. Some of the other characters are debateable but I stand firmly in that Kairi is a Pawn piece and it explains why she feels lackluster. She is meant to be, it's simply her role in the KH Chess Game. This doesn’t mean she'll stay a Pawn, as the Lost Master's Arc is starting a "new" KH chess game and thus the roles of many of the chess pieces (sans Riku and Sora) will change. I believe she'll be a Bishop in the Lost Master's Arc but as of the Xehanort Saga Kairi is only a Pawn.

But if Kairi is not the Queen piece, as I'm sure many of you initially thought, then who is?

I'm sure you noticed I skipped a character. That's right: Sora. Sora is the Queen piece in this game. A Queen piece acting in the place of the King, a false king. If you know chess you know that the Queen piece can move in any direction she wants as many spaces which is exactly what Sora is and what he can do. Sora is ridiculously OP as a character to the point he is often considered the most powerful and it's the Queen piece that is the most powerful, not the King piece as some unfamiliar with chess may believe. Sora can move any which way he pleases, even traverse time, travels worlds through hearts and hearts through worlds and even moves between Realms to save Riku from Dark Aqua as a Queen piece would rush to the save the King piece. All of which is reminiscent of a Queen moving all around a board in any way.

Riku is the King piece which is why the battle in the Keyblade graveyard wasn't considered over until Riku was defeated or checkmate'd. After Riku was defeated by the Demon Tide Storm, Sora was instantly knocked off the board. Also again, he is a mirror of Yozora much like the White and Black Kings in chess mirror each other. And if we think about the King piece in chess, Riku makes the most sense. The King is the most important piece and often times Riku is the most important to the story (especially Dream Drop Distance and now post Re:Mind) hence his character development and getting more development than Sora in many ways. In the Keyblade Graveyard War, he IS the most important as its his sacrifice that changes the timeline altogether and saves Light from Expiring. Without his sacrifice, the 13 Darknesses would have won and Light would have remained expired. It doesn't get any more important than that. In addition, if the Crown Necklace theory is proven true and Sora acquired his crown necklace chain from Riku, that means Riku was the original bearer of the Crown and most likely descends from Ephemer's Royal Line (which is all but confirmed, he literally looks like Ephemer) making him make even more sense as the King Piece.

Sora and Riku are the only two who I believe will keep consistent Chess roles as the King and Queen pieces. That's what their relationship is to one another. The only change I can see is Riku and Sora themselves officially swapping roles, with Sora becoming the True King and Riku relinquishing his role as King to become Queen. Considering the way Riku rushes to save Sora and how he travels to all ends to do so (including traveling to an entirely new universe just to save him once more and traveling between dreams to become a Dream Eater to save Sora), it almost is like he is beginning to move all around the "board" and could very well be showing signs of becoming a Queen piece to protect Sora, who would then become the new King piece.

We will have to wait and see which way this chess game goes in KH4 and beyond to confirm or deny any of this theory.

Anyway, that's all I have I hope you all feel free to share your thoughts. If you have alternate Chess Rankings, please feel free to share!

Judge Claude Frollo v Emperor Belos

The Finals!

Frollo:

"Frollo has always been the scariest villain to me because his evil is so realistically portrayed. He represents the evils of rape culture, but he goes throughout the whole movie believing he is the good guy, and he never recognizes his own hypocrisy."

Belos:

despite living with the witches for a crazy long time, he never reconsiders his prejudices or genocidal end goal. According to trivia, he is often considered to have been a Puritan before everything happened.

I bet that the one day Yuu was forced to call in sick was the only day Mickey called up Yen Sid to ask him for a favour. What was the favour you ask? To make a potion that makes sure you never get sick again because there are many things he can handle and has handled but everyone arguing/betting over which NRC boy would be the one nursing his pseudo-daughter employee back to health is not one of them.

Also the staff and the prince and princesses each made her a care basket when she came back the next day.

Oof. I feel this cause I got sick the other day. T.T

Queen Grimhilde: I'm sure Vil will make some wonderful potion and nurse our dear girl back to health like the gentleman he is.

Cut to Yuu snoring in bed and drooling a little because the cold medicine Trein gave her knocked her the fuck out. The only "nursing" she got was Ace and Deuce picking up food for her and watching a movie.

When she finally woke from the dead and decided she felt ok enough to go to work, she's going to find all the gift baskets waiting for her in the break room.

Soriku Headcanon:

Riku only had long hair because he was too depressed to cut it for two years. He wasn't trying to look cool. He just didn't care about his appearance. He only cleans up after DDD because Mickey and Yen Sid pull him aside and say he has to represent as a keyblade master. And because Soras finally in a good place.

Lately I've been appreciating Vanitas more...

Honestly I just really like his character cause it's kinda sad...

Okay liking a character because it's sad isn't a good thing but—

Hear me out.

I really like the idea of him being forced out of Ven and basically kinda in a similar situation as Repliku.

Just a sad silly little guy who deserves so much more than what he has to deal with.

Then here are the Unversed.

The Unversed are little enemies that are like heartless except they come from Vanitas and he can control them and whatnot. Then each time someone slaughters one of the Unversed with the keyblade, Vanitas himself gets hurt and it's just sad.

And honestly I want a pet (flood) Unversed. They seem so cute just like heartless (shadows).

Fandom kinda weird about Vanitas...Makes me uncomfy

The hardest part about him is that the fandom and people who like him make him out to be this twisted, messed up character that does uncomfy nonconsensual things.

And it's so annoying because he such a great character and when I look up random art or just things about him, I don't want to see that.

I can look up fan things of Sora, Riku, and like 90% of the other characters and find decent cool things, but with him it's really hard to.

Wayfinders and Darkness

He does bad things to the Wayfinder Trio because he's darkness and everyone always says darkness is bad.

Until Riku came along

You're told darkness is bad and is dealt with doing not so good things you'd probably become a morally grey character/ not so good person to others.

He probably feels isolated.

Then there's Xehanort trying to get Vanitas to do things for him as well as using the Wayfinders to manipulate them to darkness.

Then he's told to reconnect with his other half to forge some kind of ancient χ-blade for the purpose of creating Kingdom Hearts

Vanitas does bad things and uses the darkness for evil but you also weren't showing why doing good things is better.

Since you can use darkness for good and evil, while also using the light the same way. All those masters were told use darkness is bad and didn't do a thing about the stuff happening Eraqus, Odin, and

Yen Sid (he's probably one of the better ones but still had both Sora and Riku take that exam when it was obvious something was going to happen)

Sora offers a 2nd Chance

Then in KH3 Vanitas along some others wants to find Ven and realizes this through encountering Sora.

It isn't until the final battle where Sora offers him a chance.

He tells him, You can be who you want to be. Basically kinda like Sora in COM telling Repliku, you are your own person too.

Then Vanitas tells Sora but I am Darkness and that is who I choose to be.

Sora realizes Vanitas wants to be darkness and decides that.

Vanitas chooses to fade away and the others understand his choice.

HC + Future installments

They gave him a chance, well Sora mainly and I think with that he could come back in the future a be a morally grey/ decent character who's neither good or bad.

Kinda like Riku but a little bit different.

Like he will probably use darkness but he might help them some as well.

He's done some bad but he could also do good.

That is why the fan trio — The Lost Trio would be so fun to have more of.

I think them interacting would be so interesting to see since they all are really similar. Plus it could just be like this wholesome thing

And another thing that makes them so great is because it's like the reversed Destiny Trio

#kingdom hearts #Vanitas #Riku #Namine #Sora #birth by sleep #kh birth by sleep #wayfinder trio #lost trio #unversed #kh vanitas #kh riku #Riku Replica #I want to hold a flood Unversed #They seem so cute #Please give normal vanitas love without him being weird in fan stuff #discussion #kingdom hearts 3 #kingdom hearts community
