Say a new Rayman cartoon is being made.

[MisterDark'sFanClub]

You do have a point, THEdragon.

[THEdragon]

If Rayman is the main protagonist, I could imagine Betilla and the Magician being secondary protagonists, like in the games.

[Master]

Hm, I'd see them more as parental figures, always helping Rayman grow into a better person and hero, kinda like Rayman's Ma and Pa Kents, in a way.

[OCG]

Perhaps, but new ones could be made.

And there is a significant increase in characterisation in the educational spinoffs, particularly Rayman Activity Centre.

I don't really like the idea of exclusive TV Show characters. Even in 4 episode Rayman show, Exclusive characters felt like they were not needed. I mean Rayman 2 has tons of characters from game that could work. Keep in mind guys that I do not hate 4 episode Rayman show in any ways (infact I find it underrated and wish we got all episodes), but I think it would be more popular and less hated if it had characters from games.

Ah, this, this this. I can imagine this being so, especially given their characterisation in the educational spinoffs.

@OCG, people loathe the RTAS? I haven't met any here.

@Dragon, indeed, so what about Mr. Dark then? I once made mention of having him be the Lich of the Rayverse.

[THEdragon]

I personally don't see so much 'loathing' hatred but more "It sucks so much it's funny" kinda attitude.

I think that role would work well for Mr Dark!

[Master]

Indeed, so now to the most important character of all, Rayman himself, how do you think he should be characterised? I think he'd be rather naive, yet playful, and with an appetite to explore and adventure.

I think that sums him up perfectly.

[Master]

Now then, all we need is some supporting characters and world building.

[THEdragon]

Well, assuming we're still talking Rayman 1 here, I have a whole bunch of headcanons regarding the environments.

[Master]

Well then, let's see, if this is to take place before the rise of Mr. Dark, then Picture City will still be a sprawling Metropolis, the Dream Forests would be serene woods of beauty inhabited by peaceful moskitos, Band Land would be a sprawling conundrum of harmonic bliss, the Blue Mountains would be host to many huts and shacks, and so on and so forth.

[THEdragon]

Well.... Yes! Pretty much that, actually!

[Master]

Hm, setting, main characters checked off, now then, we got some of the scenario, we're thinking in terms of the world prior to the theft of the Great Protoon, and exploring Rayman's growth. But what's a Rayman meant to get up to during this period?

[MLII]

college. ouo

[Master]

Hehe, where I'm at, and you'll be soon, eh Mlii?
Ah, the scenario we have is Rayman growing up, so I doubt he'd be there yet.

[OCG]

@OCG, people loathe the RTAS? I haven't met any here.

I saw planty on YT of people who do.

[Master]

With all due respect, YouTube is a festering ground for the most diabolical and quirky thoughts the internet has seen, there's always hate to be found there. I'm just glad that there is still opportunity for good discussion in there amongst the constant insanity.

I'd say he'd get up to mischief perhaps similar to that in Rayman Activity Centre.

Awe, our little Mlee has grown up into a collegian! <3
