After over nine years, this forum finally reached the big 25,000 post mark! To celebrate, I sold 3WSR to Disney and they're gonna make a cinematic universe out of 3WSR. Now, I could just wait for Kevin Feige to get back to me with his slate of what movies are to come from this, but since that would take an amount of time, I'm instead just gonna use a time machine and bring basic descriptions of the movies and shows back. (TRANSLATION: Writing this in the future tense would be inconvenient, and using the past tense allows me to more easily make commentary on the MCU.)
Unfortunately, I accidentally sold the movie rights to the Colorfolk and GOD to the recently re-emerging Fox entertainment (just roll with it), and those of the Blood Alchemist to Sony. So, we're slightly limited in terms of what we can do, but I think we could make a half decent universe focusing on the VEC as the main team.
With that out of the way, in association with Kevin Feige, new head of 3WSR Studios:
The 3WSR Cinematic Universe
Phase 1:
The Bronze Mage
NOTES: Post credits scene features Worldender attempting to recruit the Bronze Mage for the “Vile Evil Initiative”. Also introduces a Magykka Supremus Paladin named, like, Dennis, or something.
Mark
NOTES: The Mark rights are tangled up with Universal, so this is his only solo movie.
The Bronze Mage 2
NOTES: Introduces Priori, but she won't have a solo movie until ten years later after she's already dead.
Chaos
NOTES: Honeybadger is the main antagonist and dies at the end, but actually there’s a post credits scene and he’s revealed to be alive in that.
Kendarboo Flickerbee
NOTES: Period piece about Kendarboo Flickerbee fighting the SOM in the 40s. He crash lands in the arctic at the end and is unfrozen 70 years later.
Vile Evil Confederacy
NOTES: Honeybadger is the main antagonist. Mark got recast.
Phase 2:
The Bronze Mage 3
NOTES: Who the fuck cares?
Paladins of Supremus Season 1
NOTES: Episodic procedural show about Dennis, with a main cast of entirely OCs. Yes, Dennis died, but he’s back, and it sounds contrived, but it honestly kinda pulls it off. The show turns into something more serialized after the Magykka Supremus falls in *Insert Cap 2 here*. At the end, Paladin Ricketts shows up and tasks Dennis with reforming the Magykka Supremus, even though the movies never acknowledge that the organization still exists. Is the only project to follow up on anything The Bronze Mage 3 did until eight years from now.
Chaos: The Dark World
NOTES: Honeybadger dies again in this one.
Kendarboo Flickerbee 2
NOTES: Turns out, the Magykka Supremus was secretly infiltrated by the SOM the whole time! Paladin Ricketts wants to salvage what's left of the Magykka Supremus, but Kendarboo says the organization has to go. Good thing Kendarboo doesn't know Dennis is still alive.
Piracy International Coalition
NOTES: Mostly self contained due to its setting on the high seas. Genuinely solid movie.
Shear Season 1
NOTES: Heavily grounded 13 episode season. Despite the titular character not becoming a Colorman at any point, his story not connecting to the wider universe in any significant way, and characters important to the original version of his story being replaced (3WSR Studios didn’t let 3WSR Television use the Bronze Mage, and Woman in Pink was tied up with the Colorfolk rights. God (the VEC member) and Silent Night feature heavily instead, the latter of whom isn’t a mage yet.) this first season of this manages to be fucking phenomenal and is critically acclaimed for its critical yet tasteful look at heavy subjects like PTSD, sexual abuse, and systemic violence against transgender people. This season is so far beyond and above the bullshit in the rest of this list, and is commonly viewed as a foundational pro-trans text.
Paladins of Supremus Season 2
NOTES: One of the OCs is revealed to be Man of Diesel. Starts setting up a Machinemen movie set to come out five years from now, since the execs think they’re pretty much just as good as the Colorfolk. Ties into *Insert Age of Ultron here* in the tiniest way where there’s plausible deniability if the show is even canon.
Vile Evil Confederacy 2
NOTES: Introduces Man in Bright Turquoise, the only Colorman we could weasel the rights to. Well, there’s also the Man in Silver, who we killed off in this movie because Fox had plans for a significantly cooler version of him in their own movies that got to actually use his powers in a cool way.
Lightbender
NOTES: Not about the original Lightbender. The original Lightbender worked for Chessmaster decades ago, but left. This movie is about a new Lightbender, who’s all quippy and stuff.
Phase 3:
Paladins of Supremus Season 3
NOTES: Really can't think of anything of note to say about this season. Pretty good.
Kendarboo Flickerbee 3
NOTES: The VEC splits up into two factions and they fight eachother over shit that happened in the last couple movies. There's a political subplot but it's not really important. Who wins? Disney does.
Paladins of Supremus Season 4
NOTES: Very little to do with anything in the movies. Eddie Denim is a big part of the first half of the season, and he’s cool. The second half has a setup kinda similar to Dark Prism, except self contained and revolving around the cast of OCs, which are more than beloved by the four people still watching the show by this point. Outside of Shear season 1, this season is unironically the best thing to come out of this entire universe.
Digitoid
NOTES: The guy who played the BBC version of Adolf Gunnarson plays Digitoid.
Shear Season 2
NOTES: Kinda bad. Tackles similar subject matter to the first season, but worse.
Piracy International Coalition Vol. 2
NOTES: Still pretty good. Set pretty much directly after the first one, placing it way earlier in the timeline than the rest of phase 3.
Blood Alchemist: *INSERT SUBTITLE HERE*
NOTES: About a younger version of the Blood Alchemist who pretty much is just the Bronze Mage's protege. After the last few shitty attempts at bringing him to the big screen, the majority of people are fine with this for now.
Chaos 3
NOTES: Turns out Honeybadger faked his death again but by the end of this one he's a good guy. Mark is also in this one.
Machinemen
NOTES: So… Since nobody at 3WSR Studios wanted to actually make this movie, instead it’s a low budget 8 episode show with 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Supposed to continue off of stuff Paladins of Supremus set up, but it kinda doesn’t? Nothing after this acknowledges the show happened, including Paladins of Supremus.
Some kinda Black Panther analogue? I'm running out of ideas for this post.
Paladins of Supremus Season 5
NOTES: Takes place at the same time as VEC 3 but the big world-shattering event at the end of that movie that I can't think of an analogue for isn't acknowledged in this. Dennis dies at the end, it's unironically very sad.
Vile Evil Confederacy 3
NOTES: I guess they're fighting Metalicana in this one? He kinda wins at the end. I've completely run out of inspiration for this post. Oh, also Honeybadger dies at the end but for real this time.
Lightbender and Icemeister
NOTES: Icemeister also isn't the original Icemeister but rather his daughter.
Shear Season 3
NOTES: Way better than the last season, but not getting any awards. Silent Night finally becomes a mage in this one, and her arc in it is decent.
Who could I have be Captain Marvel... Fuckin, Firebird I guess?
Vile Evil Confederacy: The Last One
NOTES: idfk man. im tired. Sets up a Honeybadger show, and Priori dies.
Paladins of Supremus Season 6
NOTES: Season length got cut in half for this and Season 7. Set before VEC 4. Still doesn't acknowledge the shit that happened in VEC 3 because of studio politics.
Untitled Blood Alchemist Sequel
Paladins of Supremus Season 7
NOTES: Set right after Season 6. Season revolves around a time travel plot. At this point we're so far from actually being connected to the movies, but the way it resolves things for its characters isn't half bad.
So, that's what we're doing, but let's see what Fox did with the Colorfolk rights.
Colorfolk
NOTES: Blue faction vs Black faction type beat. The Man in Blue is sidelined in favor of the Man in Steel, and there's a love triangle between them and the Woman in Blue.
C2: Colorfolk United
NOTES: The Blue and Black factions have to team up to fight a common enemy. Woman in Blue dies at the end.
Colorfolk: The Last Stand
NOTES: Woman in Blue actually survived the events of the last movie due to the anchor curse. Man in Blue dies in the opening scene because James Marsden had better shit to do.
Colorfolk Origins: Steel
NOTES: Origin story for the Man in Steel. This movie is really bad. Fark Devonshire is in it, but he's nothing like he is in the source material.
Colorfolk: First Generation
Man in Steel
NOTES: Second attempt at a Man in Steel solo movie. It's alright.
Colorfolk: idfk man I can't think of a good enough comparison to Days of Future Past
Fark Devonshire
NOTES: This movie wasn't gonna exist until a test reel leaked and everyone loved it. Fark is played by the same guy that played him in Origins, but he's playing an accurate version this time.
Colorfolk: Spirit of Chaos
NOTES: Introduces new versions of the present day Colorfolk. Nobody really cares about them. The Spirit of Chaos is underwhelming in comparison to the source material (pretend the Spirit of Chaos was a good idea to begin with, I'm running out of shit to draw comparisons to)
Hikos
NOTES: Man in Steel is old now. He dies at the end and it's sad. Movie's good.
Fark Devonshire 2
Anchor Curse (Retitled Colorfolk: Anchor Curse on home releases)
NOTES: The second attempt at adapting the anchor curse storyline, written and directed by the same guy who wrote The Last Stand. Surely that won’t go wrong.
You could not pay me to come up with an analogue to New Mutants
Well, that's hit or miss. But let's look at a couple things that the 3WSRCU does after the end of the Metalicana Saga.
Bright Turquoise
NOTES: Everything about this show makes it seem like it's A: gonna make Dark Prism happen, and B: gonna introduce Philos, but then neither happen.
Priori
NOTES: Her solo movie. She’s already dead though so it’s a prequel. Sets up her sister to be in some future stuff, and she's kinda fun but who cares.
Ocean Man
NOTES: Finally picks up on plot threads from The Bronze Mage 3. Don't care + Ratio.
Honeybadger Season 1
NOTES: Bad.
Piracy International Coalition Vol. 3
NOTES: Good as usual. Kinda struggles a little bit due to how the characters in it were utilized in VEC 3 and 4, but still a good movie and a good ending to the trilogy.
Honeybadger Season 2
NOTES: I've heard it's good but I haven't seen it
Devonshire and Hikos
NOTES: idk it's good? It's like Deadpool and Wolverine? I liked that movie. I'm done with this post. Happy 25000 posts.
