What Ifs #5: Can’t Stop the Music

Odds are you’ve seen at least one musical or musical number. They’re fun, spontaneous, and logically they pretty much make absolutely no sense whatsoever, but we tend to love them anyway. Even if you try to avoid them these little gems tend to make their way into some unlikely programs. This lead me to my current what if.

The spirits of musicals can’t be stopped! To appease them you have to choose one show or game to get its own dedicated musical episode or level. Bonus geek points if you can either come up with a crazy enough scenario for the musicals to happen or even imagine some of the things the characters could sing about.

for me I think I’d pick Doctor Who to receive its own musical episode. The Tardis crew would land on a planet or galactic entertainment center where everyone speaks in song and they find themselves getting dragged along by the crazy choreography and music. And just to make the entire thing more epic, the enemies could be the cybermen who spend the episode singing with synchronized auto-tune voices and electronic music in the background.

What Ifs #4: Frankenstein’s Reboot

We all have shows, games, and fandoms that we wish we could bring back from the dead. Maybe they never got a chance to finish properly or maybe there’s just nothing like it out there now and you feel like it’d make a spectacular comeback to fill the void. So this lead me to this particular what if scenario.

You have now been given the chance to bring back any finished/canceled show/movie/game franchise back from the grave. The catch? You must combine it with one or more other canceled media to bring your new Frankenstein’s monster reboot to life.

I think if I had the opportunity I’d probably go crazy and combine Danny Phantom, Kim Possible, Ben 10 (alien force), Generator Rex, and American Dragon: Jake Long all into one epic avengers type team up show that has them working against all of the major threats to earth, both supernatural or extraterrestrial.

What Ifs #1: Multiverse Adventure

I realized that with most of my post ideas getting really long and life getting in the way like it usually does, I need smaller posts to interact with the community with so that I don’t end up with long hiatuses in between the big posts. As someone who reads lots of fanfiction, I know how much that can suck. So, I decided that one of the ways I’d do that is by introducing some geeky “what if” topic and then my answer, to spark the imagination as well as a discussion. Here’s the first:

You have been transported to the world of the last anime/cartoon you saw, but you have also been granted the powers/equipment/skills of the main (playable) character of the last game you played (if you play as your custom character then you can choose whether or not you want that body/form as well). Assuming you aren’t completely screwed, what do you plan to do using your new powers? Do you follow the main characters on their path or do you forge your own?

For me, I ended up with the powers of my Destiny 2 hunter in the world of My Hero Academia. So not the worst situation but it should be interesting to be a magic robot space soldier in a world of natural born superheroes. I’d probably try to become one of the school’s staff so I can at least try to aid the school and its students. Maybe sponsor an after school club that helps students develop their sense of style and how to best use one-liners and quips. Also I can easily imagine a situation where one of the students or teachers accidentally “kills” me and they just stand there freaking out until my ghost just revives me like nothing happened. Knowing his luck, It’d probably be poor cinnamon roll Izuku worried that he accidentally murdered someone with an out of control SMASH attack.
