I want to say Flowers in the Attic but it would have to do some pretty heavy lifting with soliloquy’s, fourth wall breaking monologues and perhaps cutting down some parts. Still the production would be fairly minimal with 2 or 3 main sets and perhaps a small cast doubling up on roles.
I've only read the Hudson series and I'm curious about your opinions.
Sun Wukong The Monkey King and Tripitaka from Journey to the West - The blueprint for most shonen classic protagonists vs the monk who is the actual focal point of the story of the pilgrimage.
Kamina and Simon from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Even Kamina’s sunglasses are more iconic than his younger brother Simon who is the real character.
Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean Series - People forget that Jack is more of a bystander in the first film rather than the driving force behind the plot. If you removed him from the first film, very little would have changed.
Levi Ackerman and Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan - It took one scene for Levi to come in like a hurricane mixed with a chainsaw and steal all of Eren’s spotlight, then he proceeded to beat the living daylights out of him and instil the fear of Levi in every titan shifter ever born.
Korosensei and Nagisa Shiota from Assassination Classroom - The actual target of the titular assassination classroom and the assassin.
I've had escape rooms on the brain for a while now and I keep thinking about how there arent enough based around literature, which is a damn shame! So how would you go about making one inspired by Holmes or Poirot? Could you even go the opposite direction and make one inspired by Arsene Lupin?
Some days you come to the realisation that you've had all you can stand and you can't stands no more. Some of the best examples we wish we could emulate are:
Fizzarolli (Helluva Boss) - Guy made an entire song and dance number telling his boss, Mammon of the Seven Deadly Sins, he quits and where Mammon can take his job and stick it. Alex Brightman at his finest!
Joanna (Office Space) - After being talked down by her condescending boss about her uniforms lack of 'flare', Joanne decides she's had enough, puts up the bird and quits! To anyone who has ever worked for a pain in the ass boss, this is pure catharsis.
Maggie (13 Ghosts) - A massively underrated moment. After being through hell and back with ghosts and kids and undead uncles, Maggie is DONE with all of this!
Let's see all of yours!
