Julie and the Phantoms (2011): What I wanted to see if there was a 2nd season
Hello, my lovely people! Julie e os Fantasmas is relevant again, and I am old enough to have a Tumblr blog now, so:
I present you, based on the info the show left us with, an Enthusiastic List of Things I would have loved to see if the show had not been cancelled. Now, buckle up!
Learn more about Nicolas. I feel like one of the reasons why a lot of us preferred Daniel and Julie to end up together is because the show made us care about him. He was relatively interesting and very flawed, but deep within his heart, Daniel was a good person. Nicolas is a good guy, scared of what others may think of him if he acted “out of character” and showed his true self, he’s funny, sweet and... that’s about it. Oh, and he cares about Julie! I want to know more about him, so that I can care about him as much as I care about Daniel.
Have the phantoms help Demetrius. I, personally, would love to see them go on a small adventure. The last time we saw him, he was sulking in that bar with a glass of ectoplasmatic juice, and told them to wait and see, that it was not it yet. Well, yeah, uh, we never got to hear from him again. So, what if... he needed help to trap someone who was causing big trouble? Maybe this person messed up one of their concerts, and will continue to do so unless they stop them somehow. Maybe it is someone who Martim and Félix upsetted, and now... well, either they have them ruin their concerts repeatedly, or their team up with Demetrius and get rid of them.
Explore Martim and Félix’s characters. What things do we know about them? They’re funny, caring, The Big Bros. Félix is a bit scaredy, and Martim is pretty flirty. They’re great, but, what else is there? Would love to get to know them better. What were they like alive? The same as now? Can we get to know them a lot better, please? They’re Julie’s friends, one of their roles is, basically, comic relief, they are like Pedrinho’s big brothers, and Daniel’s good friends. I feel like there’s other stuff that could be explored.
New phantom friend! Chaos ensues, a friendly ghost appears out of nowhere and sticks to the group! Maybe they are a fan, maybe they attended that first concert at Klaus’ shop back in the very first days of Os Insólitos. Who are they? Do they get to know Julie too? Maybe they’re a lovestruck admirer who can’t help but follow them around. What if they go from annoying to somewhat tolerable, but end up being confused as that bothersome ghost that Demetrius is after? Lets have this be a lesson on not judging a book by its cover. Do they all stay friends? Are they a reocurrent character?
Bia and Valtinho (finally!) have a cute date. I want to see Bia open up to him and see them hang out together like a couple, dammit! See them share a fun date as they explore their relationship. Ice cream at the park? Bia shows him her favourite discs at Klaus’, Valtinho somehow convinces her to watch some of his favourite horror films and they actually end up having a really good time together. Please.
Double date! Julie and Nicolas, Valtinho and Bia! While we are on the subject of exploring relationships, how about... A double date? Not sure how it would play out, but I can tell it’d be fun to see them all interact together in this kind of scenario. Somehow, I can see Valtinho being really agaisnt it at first, but end up being the most enthusiastic one about it, hahah.
D&D centered episode as Nicolas fully embraces his nerdy side. Like, yes, please and thank you. Have him make up with his friends, and slowly go back to normal. Tell his other friends that either they accept him as he is or they’re no longer his friends, since real friends love and accept every side of you, no matter how different to them they might be. Real friends love you, despite not liking some of the stuff you do. Real friends accept each other, appreciate each other. Same thing goes for his nerdy friends. Lets make Nicolas have a small arc where he also learns to fully accept himself. The show left a lot of room for character exploration and development, lets do exactly that, shall we?
We see Daniel get over Julie. He and his sulky butt have to move on. It won’t be easy, it’ll be hard. Very hard, even, but as he himself wrote “who am I to change what the world chose for me?” There’s a lot of character development that happened in the series, but I think we all need to see him learn how to love. Learn how jelousy and possesiveness can screw things up, and how learning to let go will bring a lot of relief. He does learn a good lesson in the series, yes, but... I want him in a healthy relationship. Let Daniel be happy, dammit!
These are all as of now! Might add some new ones if I come up with more!
Feel free to reblog and add yours if you have any!
