E! Online Spoiler Chat Dec 18: Spinoff?

[RumplesGirl]

If they did something like Once Upon a Time in Neverland, I want it to be a summer special. Colin and Robbie and Rose can shoot a 5 or 6 episode miniseries dealing with the history of those characters in NL and then Colin and Rose go back to the mother ONCE and NL is left behind for good. The fact is…there are so many unanswered questions it’d be nice to get answers.

I agree that this spinoff would likely never see the light of day, thanks to Wonderland being a flop. I would like to see a mini series of sorts as a Summer thing, like RG said, but yeah even that seems unlikely.

I think all the story that needs to be told with Neverland has been told.  It’s really sad about Wonderland.  I really enjoy watching the spin-off, just happens to be on a bad night.  It’s bad time to think of another spin-off.

I just feel as though there is so much left undone

PP and Tink (we never saw them together! Tinkerbell and Peter Pan! Never once on screen together!)

Hook and PP (what was the “dirty business”?)

There’s so much untold story potential for NL.
How did Tink get there in the first place?
What work did Hook do for Pan, (they eluded to it then never elaborated)?
How did the Darlings get entangled with Pan again?
Why was Bae living apart from the other Lost Boys, (perhaps Pan let him so he wouldn’t discover Wendy being there)?
What was Tink and Pan’s relationship, (it seemed he apparently trusted her if she could get into his camp)?
How did Tink and Pan’s relationship impact both of their relationships with Hook?
How did Bae leave NL?
How did Hook leave NL?
How did Pan get the pic of Henry?
How and why did the darkening of NL progress?

There are already a lot of untold stories in the OUaT universe, I just don’t think that the place for all of them is on TV screen, not in the original show nor in a spin-off.

There are other medias to work with, why not make use of them? They actually already did a first step with the graphic novel (not with the book though, that was just retelling what happened on screen, I am not talking about the usual merchandise and franchise attempts).

Of course the original show has to stay the center of the universe, and the show should be still enjoyable if you just watch the show. What is important to advance the story of the show on screen has to be told there, but a lot of what fans consider interesting and even as important is not really important to move on the story on screen, sorry to the break the news. It can very well be told in other places, other media, without taking away from the show.

The experience for willing audience could be enriched by telling some of the background and off-screen things through other media, books, graphic novels, apps, games, wepisode, webcomics. OUaT is a family show, and though some of the new media stuff might be not so appealing to us older folks (to nurse prejudices), it quite sure is something to get younger people.

I am surprised that marketing and development folks at Disney are not already going crazy about the chances this new fictional universe offers them, or maybe they are but behind closed doors. I am aware that it takes some planning and a strategy, and that there is this kraken called international distribution and rights to be tamed, but it can be done. I liked what was done with Matrix for example, how they used games to explore characters or what they did with the animated Animatrix films. A recent example is the show Defiant. Or take a look at the collaboration between Cornelia Funke and Mirada Studios in creating the Mirrorworld.

This show could be so much more.

Of course they could leave it as well to fan fiction to fill the void. I wouldn’t mind, it is the companies’ loss.

Edit: Just remembered they had this app on Facebook, The Untold Stories. Wonder why they haven’t done anything alike again. Not counting though the little online game “Mirror, Mirror”. It’s a little fun but not really adding anything to the universe.

¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯

True Blood had little True Blood mini episodes that came on during the commercial breaks between shows. They came on before that particular season started so it helped with the wait. I think they were like a minute long? They were canon even though they did nothing to further the plot. I can imagine Once doing that. Didn’t Dexter do that too, but online? Even if Once did it in cartoon or graphic novel form, it’d be nice to see and help with the wait
