Usually I get upset at Next Generation Sequels because like 'everyone put a day in the calendar to fuck and have kids the same age'
Like some of them probally had kids at 20, some at 30, some adopted, some couples are 100% divorced, some are childfree...
'Who takes who surname in the marriage' can be really important to the character arc too
The kids's plot is far too identical to their parents? Something that clearly isn’t planned?
No shock? Nothing new? Like imagine if the previous protag gets murdered.
Or the kid was kidnapped and raised by enemies?
If the ending left a thing that needs to be solved maybe? Or its a just all a mess?
Or the sequel a plot twist that changes everything?
If the characters are all having kids by 20, since they are usually 12-14 teens at the beginning and 17 at the end, just keep the plot going?
Or instead of a fankid, another character thats connected? The younger sibling? The child of the villain? Put the WHOLE thing into a non-protag centered view?
@thelandswemadeofpaper made a post about Frozen 3 begin with Gerda as Kristoff and Anna's child and Elsa as villain. Sounded nice.
