I still have hope for new better Bad Guys media
As a big fan of the Bad Guys franchise, I found the sequel a good story but with wasted potential and weird choices poorly made. However in these past months since I saw it, I've realized I have not fully given up on the ideas I have for the franchise.
- First of all I want to see not one last movie but two! After the events of the second film ruining so good things they had from the first one, I feel two more movies would not only have opportunities to use potential storytelling but would make up for the messy directions of the sequel, mainly>!having the Bad Guys and Diane revealing to the public they're alive and (albeit Gilligan cutting) beating them up cheering for Marmalade's release (which never should've happened). The public does not deserve to just be forgiven for just re-labeling them like nothing! They MUST BE MORE PUNISHED (like the villagers in Beauty and the Beast)!!< Another reason I want 2 movies is that a fourth could give the opportunity to have a movie with a NEW main villain only, no more Marmalade or Kitty Kat. Sequels of animated movies had got to stop bringing back the villains of the original and only have new ones (Bad Guys 2 isn't the only one making this poor choice. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Kung-Fu Panda 4, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, even Zootopia 2!) The best sequels of animated movies I've seen always made new villains not related to the original ones at all (Toy Story 2-3, Shrek 2, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, How To Train Your Dragon 2, Incredibles 2, Frozen 2, Zootopia 2). >!Also actually kill off Marmalade, And perhaps Kitty Kat if they dare bring her back! The former never should've returned and since the latter is clearly nothing like her book counterpart, both deserve to suffer satisfying deaths. No one dare give me any of that "Wah! But I don't want death! I need mercy and forgiveness! I don't like punishments! I don't like violence Wah!" BS! With how aggressively insistent animated movies across the world have become with forcing redemption and forbidding killing villains at all cost while ruining what true redemption means, Mercy currently sucks!!<
- My other big idea for The Bad Guys franchise is for them to have a sequel tv show. Breakin In being a prequel like the short films was a huge disappointment (and in general I hate prequels). Since the first movie, I've seen way more potential for new adventures taking place after the movies (whether it be everyday-life, heists, or sabotaging heists of others). Though 2 ideas I've had have been ruined>!with Diane outed and Luggins now police commissioner (despite being not fit personality-wise)!<, I realized that there it is still plenty of potential storytelling (for 5 seasons at least) and there are ways the ideas I had could be changed but still used>!(especially with the latter)!<.
So yeah, the current writers have may terrible decisions in the sequel, but I, as a fan and an aspiring writer who say potential since the first movie, I am not completely giving up. Just need to change my initial ideas and need 2 more movies stead of one.
