I've Had This Idea For The Dead Boy Detectives, And I Wasn't Going To Say Anything But I'm Trying To

I've had this idea for the dead boy detectives, and I wasn't going to say anything but I'm trying to feel better so I might as well say it now but I was thinking of a Corps Bride au for them.

I think Charles is Victor and Edwin being Emily. It makes sense, and I think maybe in the end, Charles does somehow die in the end and stays with Edwin.

Maybe Charles and Crystal were in an arranged marriage that they wanted to make a work but couldn't. Also, the line "no, you're married to me, she's the other women" fits them both in so many ways.

I think the land of the dead would also be fun. The worm and spider would probably be Monty and the Cat King. The song where the skeleton sings about how beautiful Emily is is so Edwin and Cat King. Maybe they're exes on good terms, and Monty also being that and they stayed friends. It would just be cute.

I would love if any arist or writers could make this since I'm not good at wither. It's just a fun thought I had.

Also, the end where Charles tries to kill the guy Edwin was originally going to marry is so cute.

DBD is currently in the top 50 TV shows on Netfx. We want to get it in top 10! If you'd like to participate; STREAM DEAD BOY DETECTIVES! Have it playing in the background with the volume up!

So real I am totally normal about my interest just let me tell you about all the facts I know about it. I pinky promise that I will be normal

me, vibrating out of my skin : hey can I talk to you about this piece of media real quick? I pinky promise I'll be So Normal about it, like there's no reason to be concerned that this will turn into a three hour long monologue. Like I Prommy that I'm not gonna be a freak about it.

I would like to remind people that they made a SECOND MOVIE for REBEL MOON when the first one barely got any attention....

So yea, they canceled Dead Boy Detectives but can a sequel movie for a movie that no one really liked or made them any money.

We have to try to get anyone to react to the show because the more people that hear about the show, the more people that watch it, and we need more creators reacting to it to share it.

What if we reached out to Film Theory to try and get them to do a video on Dead Boy Detectives. I don't know what they'd theorize about but it's worth a shot to get more people to watch the show.
