and i call this horrible post: “the seize the day dance break but it’s a bunch of other songs”
I’m really sorry but I’m a bit panicked right now, the Newsies fandom may have its fair share of problems but it’s one of the few communities where I feel comfortable. I can’t lose you guys. Please, I really need some reassurance here.
So they just released the announcement that they are auditioning for the new be more chill cast. I am as hype as anyone else for this musical being brought back to life but the thing that ruins the hype immediately is that people are ALREADY hating the new actors (which haven’t even been chosen yet) cause they wont be the same as the og cast.
We all love the original bmc cast. Will is amazing, George is amazing. Katie, Gerard, Jake, etc. all of the original cast was so amazing but that doesn’t mean the new cast cant be just as good. The new cast hasn’t even been chosen and I’ve already seen people saying things like “no matter who they cast as Michael they are nothing compared to George” or “the new cast is gonna suck compared to the original” and its sick.
We need to treat the new cast with the same love and respect as we do with the original cast. Ofc the new cast aren’t going to be exact copies of the original actors, but the new actors are being chosen for a reason. The new cast is being chosen because the directors think they are going to do something special with the character and bring the same passion to the role as the previous actor did. It makes me sad to see so many people already hating on people we don’t even know about yet because they aren’t going to be exact copies of the original cast
The new be more chill is going to be amazing, and the whole new cast and crew are going to do everything to make it the best show ever for their audience. We need to treat the new cast with respect instead of hating them for not being exactly like the original. The new cast might not be exactly the same as before, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t good and that they don’t deserve respect.
Bottom line: when the cast for be more chill is released please treat them with respect because they are going to do everything they can to give you the best show ever
do kids these days know abt numa numa
Give them relationships with other characters. Being a villain doesn’t mean they’re isolated
Give them their own set of morals
Give them something to care about
Consider the reasons why they want to hurt the protagonist
Remember that they are human
Don’t make them evil for the sake of being evil
Keep in mind that a villain doesn’t have to do every horrible thing imaginable
Not every villain was abused. Someone who was spoiled is just as, if not more, likely to lack empathy than someone who was abused
Consider how they rationalize their behavior (blame their victims, make excuses, believe that what they’re doing is right) if you need a reference for this kind of behavior, look at how Trump defends the horrible things he does
Give them a life outside of being a villain. Maybe your protagonist is going shopping and they run into their villain and the villain isn’t interested or up for a fight that day. This really depends on the story, though
Give them a past, present, or future relationship with the protagonist. Again, this depends on the story
Consider making your villain likable
Give the reader a reason to sympathize with them
