other people thinking about Xiaolin Showdown: Man, that was a good show, i remember it as a kid. I could rewatch that.
Me: *suddenly* you ever think about Shen Gong Wu being used to help people like the Moby Morpher getting used to let people understand gender more, exploring gender fluidity and such in a more physical way, or maybe letting people be what they spiritually believe they are?
Also what about other Shen Gong Wu getting used to understand humanity like the Sands of Time helping people say goodbye to people who have passed away of the Statue of Fear being used to help therapists and patients....
Honestly Xiaolin Showdown could have gotten PRETTY real a number of times (sometimes they did but not enough to disrupt the shows comedic storyline).
A dark Xiaolin Showdown is something I would rather see than Xiaolin Chronicles, think how cool that would be with the characters and their legit problems.
Things I would hope to see in a dark version (personal opinion):
-Jack Spicer actually gaining confidence through the support of a friend for more than a few episodes and enough to actually get Chase’s real approval only for Jack to realize Chase’s approval wasn’t what he wanted. He just wanted to be acknowledged.
-Raimundo, Clay, and Kimiko having some sort of discussion about culture differences being mentioned and fight about it.
-Wuya actually having a backstory that explains why she is so bitter as a witch that portrays her actions
-Hannibal Bean explanation about what he is and how he came to be and actually showcasing more of the relationship between Chase and the Bean. Like is Hannibal a demon from hell able to make contracts with humans or just super powerful, there has to be more to it. Are there others like him who make deals?
-A character exploring gender and sexuality through the Moby Morpher.
-I want to see the masters who run the Xiaolin Temple, like what type of stories do they come from and I want to see what would happen if the dragons paired up with a master who has a similar backstory.
-Give me a Xiaolin master who is female.
-A view of time through Chase’s eyes, he has lived for 1500 years, I guarantee that man has had 5 years pass him by like nothing before. I really want to see a big chunk of time pass him and Wuya by as they finally get a new Shen Gong Wu. The monk and Jack visibly older
-Chase....i just need more of his life in between him currently and when he made a deal. I want to see how his personality changed.
-Shen Gong Wu being used to deal with day to day problems.
-A full on stop of the gender jokes as they grow older.
Yeah I went on forever but, its like 10pm, so my mind runnin’.
