Cancelled oswald show rewrite
Recently I posted my art of rewritten fanny from that ver so i thought id write a little something furthering my thoughts and ideas about it, not just her but the story and other characters aswell
First of all THE NEW CHARACTERS
As we can see there were 7 new characters planned to appear in the series, we don't know much about the elephant man or the cop dogs but we do know alot about Cliff and gloria!
"Gloria The diva" was suppoust to be a fameous actress and is visibly inspired by flapper culture or some parts of it at least, in my rewrite I imagine her to become friends with fanny! Oswald most likely meet her by ruining something on her set and id imagine fanny pulling up to try and fix it then meeting gloria, shes one of few people fanny accualy got to properly meet in the city and seeing a new young clearly lost girl around she decided to try and lean in a hand for her, little did she know how much that friendship will bring her 👀
"Cliff the cabby" was meant to be friends with oswald, as the original creators said their dynamic was inspired by tortoise and the hare, Cliff was meant to have a very low self image opposite to oswald who even in that ver appeared very hyper and confident (maybe oblivious tbh) In my rewrite Cliff is still friends with oswald but their dynamic is a little different, oswald doesn't "unlock his inner confidence" but rather makes him gain a new perspective at things, he's always lived in the city overwhelmed by it, but then suddenly someone from complete outside appeared and opened his eyes to things he learned to ignore, it makes him rethink everything and while yes he does kinda copy oswald in trying to appear more confident, it's not as much as oswald unlocking that in him but more so the time he spend with him that did that- if it makes any sense
Truth be told I don't have that much of an idea for the elephant man
But I think the police dogs could be antagonists to oswald, trying to catch him as he brings in mayhem everywhere and bend in the rules a bit if it means he'll be more likely to be caught, they might appear goofy all around at first but do become more of a problem the further we go
Speaking of antagonists!
Howard hawk! As described by Matt danner was a visionary behind the city of coneyopolis and while that parts not confirmed i belive he could also be the mayor by that logic? Anyway I belive him to be the big bad of the show, a corrupt guy in charge trying to benefit himself with lies and empty promises, prehaps he wants to use oswald for some of his plans make him an "example" but for what hmmm? 🤨 Im sure it's nothing he has to worry about no no no-
Sneek the cheat and his boss are a pretty basic ball for me tbh, sneek is a con artist trying to rip people off and steal a thing there and there meanwhile his boss as small as he is is the one in charge telling him what to do, not really evil geniuses but after oswald crosses their path a few times too many they try to pounce him every now and then
I mainly have ideas for Fanny & gloria and Oswald & Cliff but thats pretty explainatory why as there the two closest characters to the main cast and yes both oswald AND FANNY are the main cast they have sm more potential that way istg TOT
They both arrived to the city at the same time from an old small village they just call "the burrow" Oswald is very excited to arrive there, ready to meet all kinds of people and of course become a great hit! How doesn't really matter, he's very confident- a little too confident you could say, he's not used to losing in any way, people back home spoiled him a bit so now he just really doesn't know what concequence of action or accountability means, every trouble he's caused back home could easily be fixed or he'd just brush it off, every person yelling at him to get off their lawn could easily turn around and pet him on the head next time he'd see them, however the city will not work this way and even if he doesnt realize it going in he sure as hell will know what concequences and maturity means on his way out, the city will kindly feed his hunter for adventure as well as give him a rude awakening to how he can't just run around like a child and not expect anything to happen
Fanny on the other hand- oh don't get me started! She's very scared and shy, one might think she doesn't want to be there at all, she spends most of her time at their hotel room/apartment, trying to act like she did back home, you know uh...cleaning the dishes, cleaning the place, trying to cook, washing their stuff, taking care of the paperwork, very very "home" orientated, don't let that fool you like it has fooled her however, Fanny adores the city and it's culture, she's so allured to the dance floors and the music and the people it's almost suffocating to keep herself away from them!...but alas, their home town wasn't as kind to fanny as it was to him, even away she's trying to be "modest" "un-corrupt" never show as much as inch of her legs arms or god forbig torso! She's not used to having any form of autonomy so now that it's just infront of her and she still has her villages "values" grilled into her- yeah it's alot for her, the city will not change her as much as it will let her be herself for the first time in her life
