Just out of curiosity, if you were given the opportunity, say tomorrow, to develop a full fledged TV show or movie adaptation of your works (comics or novels), would you want it to be about 1 of your OCs or about all of your OCs collectively, as in part of a team?

This question mainly applies to those who have more than 1 OC in their story that they're trying to flesh out. I know for my comics, I have far too many original characters to count. So realistically, I could just pick one character at random (excluding The Action Fruit Society™ of course) and make a whole TV show or movie based off of them and their own adventures and supporting cast. However, I could also go the route of making said TV show or movie about a whole team of characters and their adventures with their supporting cast. This a formula big companies like Marvel and DC tend to follow, which i'm very fond of. Share those thoughts down below :point_down:.

I think I’d love to have something adapted that’s similar to Marvel/DC because my characters each have their own story that’s be awesome to see feed into the bigger storyline.

Ngl I was thinking the same, it's always fun to give side characters more attention, but sometimes it's hard to do it in the original story (it's easy to get sidetracked etc), so making a whole comic dedicated to just them sounds awesome. UwU

I say all my characters tbh. They do work just as well alone if they were separately a focus in their own spin off , but having them together just shows off their relationship and gets everything in much better.

I would have to say all of my characters together. A big part of my novel is about how these people work as a team so splitting them off would diminish from that, I feel :slight_smile:

One character all the way. I have way too many ocs to make a comic with all of them and have it make sense.

Oof, depends on the character really.

For example:
Characters from Dark Hope, Cryptid for Hire or Tales of the Wavesplitter work best on their own, but some characters from Toad Ninja would be interesting in a standalone series about them alone.

If a TV adaptation of Glints Saga was made, rather than following the books' storylines, I'd love for them to focus on different perspectives. Rather than a direct adaptation of Papillon, I'd want the story of the conflict that the main character had fought in, focusing on the perspective of the magical girls' leader Holly. For the sequel, Dove, a series that focuses on Ribbon discovering her powers and how she comes to meet the other magical girls, and how her story eventually intersects and entwines with Dove's.

I say all my characters. My Universe that my story, The Melodies of Secrets is just one story apart of a bigger universe I had.

Funny enough, I built this universe because I wanted to make a TV series when I was younger. I think almost all my characters who are in that universe would be a good for series.

All, because then there's more variety and it might draw more people. Like just having one main character might not do it for some people and they choose not to follow the series, but if there's another prominent character or two and those people like them, they might watch it to see their stories while tolerating the other person's.

It's like in the Witcher netflix series, I was most enrapt with Yennefer's timeline, and then Ciri's. Geralt was whatever to me until they converged LOL

All of them. I make plots in a way that would need more than one character to carry them and I don't see how it would work out if I had to go with just one.
