Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

We may be here for a while.

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

I'm shaking with anticipation.

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

A key point to making a good show out of Inuyasha is to have characters that are interesting.

Inuyasha does not have interesting characters. They require rewrites.

Let's begin wiiiiiiiiittthhh...That lecherous monk guy. I forget his name.

Why would I forget his name? Because he's not that memorable of a character, man. His conflict of having a vacuum in his hand that will eventually suck him up just isn't that interesting. So let's modify it.
Instead, whenever he uses his hand to suck up demons, the power of that demon becomes his own. So he has a lot of potential to be become incredibly powerful and use his power for good, in fact he could potentially become more powerful than Naraku and whoop his ass. The problem is that...Well, where do you think those demons go when he sucks them up? What keeps him from using his ability whenever he wants is that every demon he sucks up becomes a voice in his mind. Every time he uses his wind tunnel, he becomes more corrupted and it becomes harder to resist that voice in his head that tells him to kill, rape, etc. In fact, the only reason he hasn't turned evil yet his because of his training as a Monk, which helps him purify his mind. So his conflict is that while he can become powerful enough to save lives and be the greatest hero ever, he's way too scared that one day it might be too much and he'll harm his friends, who he deeply cares for despite whatever he shows on the outside.
Now THAT'S an inner conflict.

[23:22] pyro31191: you're saying
[23:22] pyro31191: make him a schizo?

[23:23] OmegaNoxim: No
[23:23] OmegaNoxim: he doesn't have a dark side

[23:23] pyro31191: You're saying

[23:23] OmegaNoxim: er

[23:23] pyro31191: Make him a schizo
[23:23] pyro31191: With powers.
[23:23] pyro31191: and to a comic book level degree of schizophrenia

[23:23] OmegaNoxim: when you say schizo
[23:24] OmegaNoxim: it makes me think of people with two personlities
[23:24] OmegaNoxim: I'm thinking like

[23:24] pyro31191: Schizo you can have multiple

[23:24] OmegaNoxim: It's not like, a personality in his head
[23:24] OmegaNoxim: it's that desire to do someonething you know isn't right.

[23:25] pyro31191: Which is what schizo is.
[23:25] pyro31191: But you're thinking you have to do it
[23:25] pyro31191: or else something will happen.
[23:25] pyro31191: Or you're being convinced of doing it
[23:25] pyro31191: but
[23:25] pyro31191: you don't believe in doing it.

[23:25] OmegaNoxim: Like, you know, if you have to choose between doing your homework and watching tv? Every time he sucks up a demon, it becomes harder for him to resist watching tv.
[23:26] pyro31191: So you're saying.
[23:26] OmegaNoxim: Excpet watching tv is raping the **** out of that boomerang chick

[23:26] pyro31191: His humanity
[23:26] pyro31191: is
[23:26] pyro31191: being slowly deteriorated?

[23:26] OmegaNoxim: Yes

Now, let's move on to that midget squirrel kid that changes into funny little objects...

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

This is the squirrel kid.

I forget his name too, because he's not very memorable. And pretty useless.
Which is a problem he could address! The way I see him, he should have a huge idolation of Inuyasha. Some people look up to superheroes when they need an role model. Squirrel kid looks up to Inuyasha. After all, he IS the main protagonist and most powerful guy in the group. Of course, Inuyasha doesn't realize this at all. In fact, he pretty much ignores squirrel kid, he's just some kid that tags along. And that's squirrel kid's problem: Inuyasha, who he looks up to, hardly recognizes his existence as part of the team, much less that he can be useful and important. So while he's with the team, he's constantly trying to do things that he hopes will gain Inuyasha's notice. Even a simple "good job, kid" would make his day. But that's pretty hard when you're small, weak, and your ability to turn into small things isn't too useful. **** the whole "my father died" crap. His motivation to become stronger and face demons is to gain the approval and respect of his peers.


Next: That one evil brother guy with the white hair.

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

Posting to give readers a chance to get a drink before evil white hair brother


EDIT: Whoa **** I though this was the GB....Oh Mighty Squeek please spare me!

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

This is Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru is a ****ing douchebag. Since his attitude is always either "stoic" or "very pissed", he's a boring character with a cardboard personality. How about uhhhhhhh OH, I know! How about he actually cares about his brother?
It's like this. Sesshomaru doesn't like Inuyasha. He's annoyingly arrogant, and doesn't know when to give up a fight he can't win. But in his own dick-ish way, he takes care to make sure Inuyasha doesn't get himself killed. Maybe before he died, his father, the great demon, made Sesshomaru promise to look after his family, human or not. When Sesshomaru and Inuyasha clashed against each other for the sword, Sesshomaru wasn't in it for the sword as much as not letting Inuyasha have it. He knew the sword was incredibly powerful, and was concerned that it might be too much for Inuyasha and would lead to his demise. Whenever he shows up to face against Inuyasha, he's testing him, and making sure Inuyasha's strong enough to defend himself.
He'd still be a total douchebag, but at least the audience would know that deep down, there IS a shred niceness in him.
****ing douchebag.




Next: Boomerang chick

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

This is boomerang chick.

I have an evil little brother, I sure hope I don't have to fight him, BOO HOO. Boring.
What I don't get is why boomerang chick and Kagome never really have a more familiar friendship. I mean, they're the only two girls in their group. You'd think they'd kinda stick together and talk about the stuff that only interests women. I mean, really, who else are you gonna talk to about your strange relationship with Inuyasha? Boomerang chick would be kind of like a big sister for Kagome. Teaching her how to cook in the wilderness, basic self defense, treat infected wounds with medicinal herbs found in the woods, and giving general advice on boys. And in return, Kagome would teach her things from her world, like introducing her to makeup, mp3 players, and fashion clothes. I can imagine a whole episode where Kagome takes boomerang chick to a mall, and they go on a shopping spree as she marvels at all the amazing things. That kind of girly stuff.
But noooo. Instead, boomerang chick is too busy being independent, brushing off the monk's advances, and being concerned for her brother. That's gay. **** that.
Also, a giant boomerang is pretty cool, but theres seems to be some point in the show where every villain afterwards just dodges it and she's useless for the rest of the show. That should be changed.


Next: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who havent I done yet besides Inuyasha and Kagome?

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

Kyoko

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

Who?

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

The one who wont die.

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

Oh, her.

She's easy.



The problem with Holy Chick is that she's all "oooh look at me, I'm all like IMMORTAL and HOLIER THAN THOU and I'm a good guy but MYSTERIOUS". Cut the crap, lady. I know somewhere under that look of serene boredom, there's a human being.

Holy Chick just doesn't have a personality period. She doesn't tell stories to children, or play games, or hang out with people being a nice person in general. All she does is stay to herself, hidden and only associating with people if they need help.

What would be interesting is if when they meet Holy Chick, she's leading a completely new life in a remote village under a new name and everything. She still remembers everything, but I mean, when you die, you should MOVE ON, you know? Not get all caught in how you were betrayed and stuff. I mean, the past is the past. I bet she's actually an overly cheerful girl.



Next: Kagome

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

This is Kagome.

She's...Kind of dumb.

Listen. If I'm gonna go fall into a well that takes me to a feudal era where me and my best friends fight horrible, powerful monsters, why would I do it in a skirt? Every time?
Seriously, she should wear jeans or something. Her clothes simply aren't proper demon-fighting attire. Even the boomerang chick is wearing combat clothing.
And another thing. Why doesn't she take useful technology for her world with her? It would come in handy SO much. How about a crossbow? They're easier to aim. How about a flashlight or flare gun? How about a can of mace to defend yourself with? There should be an episode where they find a sick child, and she runs off and comes back with penicillin from her world and saves the kid. She shouldn't be so dependent on others to help her. Stop screaming for help every time a monster grabs you.
Also, it shouldn't take 9 billion episodes for her to hook up with Inuyasha. It's absurd.

Next: Inuyasha

Re: ITT How to make a good show out of Inuyasha

This is Inuyasha.

He doesn't look very heroic, does he?



Inuyasha has two major problems.
1) He needs to cut his hair. You know, so he looks like a guy. It's really hard for bad guys to take you seriously if you have ridiculous hair like that.
2) He's serious, all the time. Most of the time just seriously angry. And then sometimes seriously sad. And sometimes he's just serious and yelling at Kagome to shut up and do something he told her to do.
What Inuyasha needs is a sense of humor. The "comic relief characters" are really bad at being funny at all, and he's so serious all the time. He'd really be a better character if he was more of a trickster that likes making people laugh and insulting the mothers of demons when he's in the middle of fighting them. Right now, it's like...
He needs to stop taking himself so seriously all the time, and have a good sense of humor. I've never seen him laugh in the show before.
