Who might be next onscreen?
May. 3rd, 2013 01:59 amAs I'm catching up (one ep left!), I'm noting with fascination all the characters they have fleshed out and introduced to us, and it makes me curious for more...
Namely, who will they give us next? And then whom?
Most of the characters are literary in origin, or are oral tales written down (the Mapinguari being an extreme example of that)
But some are far more than that. King George is, to Catholics, a saint. Mulan is, in some areas, a deity.
So it begs the question of where the one of the next figures will come. itjaritjari, who some hold shaped certain rivers and waterfalls? Paul Bunyan, perhaps? (I'm still surprised none of the Giants were named Paul)
Or perhaps the writers will try to keep more to the fables and folklore than to the grey areas where folklore overlaps with belief. And King Midas may be the last character we meet in OUAT who was both man and myth.
Though the addition of younger tales, such as Captain Hook, and the modern Prometheus - Frankenstein - makes me wonder if any other relatively-recently written characters will be introduced...John Watson, perhaps, or Candide, or Emma (from the book by the same name)
Will some of the future episodes show an attempt to land on the moon in FTL or one of the other realities? (fiction had been written on the subject since at least the 1600s)
No matter what, it promises to be interesting and enjoyable viewings.
