@FrogalooArts @dubiousSawbones @alisotubarao @TannenbergBltz Character limit requires reduction. I could do an essay.

Thing is, is there’s barely anything to them. Ex: Caine knows everything about them. And all he does to torment Pomni is… evil Gummigoo?

It highlights the problem since 5—they have no existence outside their screen time.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@mrlotobvious @dubiousSawbones @alisotubarao @TannenbergBltz Again, that isn’t really much. Side characters in Gravity Falls got more than that in single episodes.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@dubiousSawbones @alisotubarao @TannenbergBltz Barely.
Pomni? Braver around Jax. Yay.
Zooble? Body dysmorphia
Jax? All the focus.
Ragatha? Mama trauma, never resolved
Kinger? C&A head, that’s it. He could have greatly helped expand on Caine’s character and the reason they’ll all there. Nothing.
Gangle? Got more confidence

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@dubiousSawbones @TannenbergBltz We didn’t because the focus was meant to be on the six for that.

Also, hard to care about the “oh, what about their families” when the cast doesn’t care. There’s so little about Pomni for instance that all that could be scrounged up for the trauma scene was “scary Gummigoo”.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@dubiousSawbones @alisotubarao @TannenbergBltz There’s a difference between “not as complex as the protagonist” (which is practically all media) and “the protagonist is well-rounded and everyone else is a husk who feels like they lack existence outside their screen time” (TADC only as far as I’ve seen)

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@dubiousSawbones @TannenbergBltz They can literally do anything. They’d be more stagnant on Earth. Also, they’re no more real than any other NPCs. They’re functionally the same, just with different source coding.

Being able to do literally anything is the opposite of stagnant.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@Garf4153 @TannenbergBltz What is stagnant about living happily on god mode forever?

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@Fennenene @TannenbergBltz There’s nothing “stagnant” about them playing on god mode forever.

They’d be infinitely more stagnant either being in a Caine-less circus or being back on Earth.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@alisotubarao @TannenbergBltz @dubiousSawbones Even so, in no other show I can think of is every other character sidelined to just focus on the protagonist and leave everyone else 1-dimensional by comparison.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@dubiousSawbones @TannenbergBltz The problem is the show’s meaning was described as “meaning to be found in a stagnant life”

… and they end the show on god mode, ie. The least stagnant life they could possibly live.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@jrdanrumi There’s no reason they can’t have both? The description even says “special performances” which indicates they’ll be at at least some of them, I just wish they said which ones.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

Literally what’s the point then? I know they were in talks to have them be involved in the tour and I wasn’t expecting them to be at all of the stops. But if they’re not going to be there at all, why bother?

[Jeff Benjamin @Jeff__Benjamin]

Upon initial details, it appears HUNTR/X singing voices EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami will not be part of the KPop Demon Hunters Golden World Tour

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@lovergirl_mira Back when it was first announced they said Netflix was debating on having the real singers perform or going the virtual route. Given the description mentions “special performances” I assume EJAE, Audrey, and Rei might be there for some. At least I hope so.

[The Cami @CaptainCami_]

Oh we are so getting that majoras mask remake

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@MagzGurren @julianmiflaco My guess is they’re going to come out with a new HUNTR/X EP before the tour. EJAE did hint they’d be working on more music together last December, so it would line up if they recorded more for HUNTR/X in between their solo work.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@julianmiflaco I’m just waiting for more info on if it’s a hologram light show, IRL HUNTR/X performing (Audrey teased that a while back) or some combination depending on location.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@lovergirl_mira Or tomorrow night in the US, if they’re going by 8am Korea time.

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@W1TCHCHlCK128 @MagzGurren @julianmiflaco No reason they can’t release a new album in between…

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

@W1TCHCHlCK128 @julianmiflaco Unless a new HUNTR/X EP comes out. EJAE did let slip the trio were going to do more music together about a year ago…

[RavenStarMedia @RavenStarMedia2]

I really don’t get this take. People do know they can take elements they like of things they feel had wasted potential and create their own stories that focus more on that, right?

That’s what I do.
