Here's my pitch for Kpop Demon Hunters 2, or at least the minimal details I've thought up so far;

Halfway through the year of the Golden Honmoon being set in place from the first film that ensures demons won't be able to come to the surface during that time,Rumi, Mira & Zoey befriend another intriguing and amicable girl group called Lunada, a quartet of purple haired "street witches", whom the three suspect are also demon hunters and are also THRILLED at the prospect of being able to confide in fellow cool popstars who fight evil just like them. But much to their confused horror, they turn out to be entirely A.I humanlike androids...and G0L.den, the uber-powerful media conglomerate that bankrolls their careers, whom their manager Bobby reluctantly reports to, and is a vital part of their cover to hunt demons (unbeknownst to G0L.den itself) are COMPLETELY aware of this and are not sympathetic to any concerns. To make matters even worse, G0L.den directly threatens to pull all funding from their careers & blackball from the music industry them seemingly overnight, reminding the three how replacable the company views them as if they aren't compliant to their corporate needs....unless they explicitly & contractually agree to the terms of tricking the public into thinking Lunada are in fact a fellow real human girl group due to Huntrix's fandom obsessing over their new "potential iconic collab", even though the company CEO secretly plots to merge the two's essences into one by extracting all of Huntrix's talent and shoving it into the soulless A.I corpses with the help of a stolen demonic relic disguised as a paperweight.

In order to disrupt their absolutely terrifying fates, Huntrix befriends three different music acts at an international music festival that they are scheduled to headline. Each group is from a different country and have different types of flair, style & sound in their music & stage presence. It's also made clear as a piece of dramatic irony that these groups each also fight some kind of evil otherworldly entities while completely oblivious to the fact that Huntrix are demon hunters and vice versa, leading them to all awkwardly try to hide it from each other for comedic effect, except for one group that's completely upfront about it but the others completely it misinterpret it as a metaphor.

In the meantime as subplots, it's hinted that Jinu is watching over Rumi and her friends through his big blue adorable demon tiger and his three eyed bird with the tiny hat, even though the tiger is hilariously bad at hiding (and STILL accidentally knocks over stuff while failing to put it back upright) but still somehow goes unnoticed almost every time. Zoey also goes through a very bad case of writer's block and Mira is shocked that her distant family has suddenly become very interested in her life after getting previously disowned.

Rumi also learns that the record label CEO is also half demon but has given himself a very bad skin condition to cover up his own "patterns", giving her even more unanswered questions about her mysterious heritage despite having to put those concerns aside to prepare for a massive comeback tour that kicks off the plot of the movie (the international music festival is a pit stop on the tour). This gets derailed by the A.I girl group Lunada, mysteriously scheduled by G0L.den to open for the trio and essentially outshine Huntrix during their own tour as part of the CEO's plan to exploit Huntrix's confidence knowing that they are being forced to lie, something that is WAY too close to home for Rumi (they also believe that Huntrix named Golden after their own label G0L.den to honor them, which is completely false but they're forced to run with the lie to keep the higher ups happy)

The climax of the film would have the now befriended and powered-up global music groups successfully replace Lunada by overpowering them & opening for Huntrix instead, but when the CEO strikes back and turns Lunada's wrath into a chaotic visual spectacle (where the human musicians FINALLY see that they each all hunt supernatural evil), Rumi realizes that the CEO has been replacing his human organs with artificial replacements in order to tap into his FULL demonic abilities by LITERALLY removing his humanity, which will actually make him the most vulnerable after overexerting himself (but not before his patterns shockingly turn bright gold) and its ultimate downfall after an otherwise insane fight/performance.

The film would wrap up with Huntrix and the other groups finishing up the tour and the three get to relax on the couch before Rumi addresses her insecurities about how her friends perceive her half demon heritage despite her no longer being ashamed of it (to which they reassure her that she is still and always will be a vital part of Huntrix, and that they will ALWAYS care about her no matter who she is), in addition to the fact that there might be abilities of demons that Huntrix was completely unaware of. Zoey then questions out of nowhere if the Golden Honmoon is actually a good thing for them to accomplish, leading to them all speculating about the golden pattern before getting distracted by Zoey's playlist of turtle videos, putting aside all doubts and truly taking a well-earned rest as they cuddle up close to each other on the couch.

In a mid-credits scene, just outside of the stadium Huntrix's last performance was at, a long, sharp & golden claw rips a narrow yet lengthy rift through the Golden Honmoon....

In spite of the unanimously disliked & pretty underwhelming possibly A.I Winx CG reboot...i came up with a reboot idea of my own that's a bit outside the box (and unusual, and maybe for an older audience that will never get made). It's got the working title of Winx: Eternalix. Here's the extended synopsis:

Bloom is an amiable, gung-ho yet & impressionable & larger sized pharmacy worker in her late 30s who mostly hangs out with men due to growing up around a seemingly supportive single father who only respects traditional masculinity and coaxed her into doing the same...since he ended up with a daughter named Bloom & not a son, which was supposed to be named Boomer. All her life, Bloom was labeled a tomboy and per her father's strong influence, always mocked femininity, even her own name from her absent mother, believing it to be a sign of weakness that would only hold her back in achieving the singular dream of taking over her father's lumber business. But now nearly pushing 40, Bloom isn't even close to that goal in a long time dead-end American retail position, and her father is STILL helping her with the rent in the hopes that he can FINALLY retire once his flailing daughter gets out of the ditch Bloom keeps telling herself that she's dug her way into. But everything in her life changes forever, and we mean FOREVER, when she witnesses an unbelievable sight while taking out the trash; a large, bumbling troll is taken down in the middle of the street by a mysterious blonde girl in a stunning gown...with sparkling wings. When Bloom decides to take her five minute lunch break to get a closer look at the wreckage, the blonde fairy girl saves her life when the troll unexpectedly regains consciousness and accidentally throws the 38 year old woman with strikingly firey red hair into her own mystical world full of magical teens, confusing powers and outdated crystal technology. With no way to get back to her own world, the cheerful blonde girl, Stella, decides to introduce Bloom to her friends, assuming hastily that she'll fit right in due to what uniqueness she sees in her. In fact, Bloom might have something Stella and her good-hearted yet slightly shallow supermodel-esque fairy posse may truly need; a wild card. An unexpected friend. An experienced fighter. A raging fire burning deep inside under a sparkly blue tube top and miniskirt that is unfortunately two sizes too small (at least just for now). But most of all, in order to unlock that surge of potential, Bloom just needs to believe in someone different than the other people in her life; herself. A person she's always put down or put aside to accompany others' comfort, but never her own. A person she needs to really, really, REALLY start believing in to find even the slightest bit of magic within. After all, that's how this unusual yet mystical story might finally start...."

I'm open to feedback ✨️
