[TWAU Season 2] Impossible?
No offense but is it not a little to hard to continue the story after that case?
Since it's a prequel and they're bringing the storyline to the one in the comics, i don't really think it's possible...
Well it's just a thought, Telltale could surprise everybody with an incredible new arc who knows?

I heard TWAU takes place roughly 20 years before the events of the comics. TWAU seems to take place over the course of a few days, so that would leave plenty of room for more seasons.
I didn't know that ! Well sir you made my day !
You might want to know the Fables comic will end in early 2015. Leaving room for Telltale to explore other things, such as the game not being a necessarily a prequel. And the Fables universe has a lot of variety in it. I mean, the way I see it, Telltale could even make a game with another protagonist in it(Very unlikely but it's still thought provoking) Cinderella is the first thing that comes to mind.
I personally wanna see a Season 2 starring Cinderella
Colin the pig has my vote for a Season Two protagonist.
There is nothing interesting enough about Cinderella to make her a lead character. She is just another chick that Charming put the wood to.
erm, wtf are you talking about? I think 25 James Bond movies would disagree with you.
Have you even read Fables? Try the spinoffs "From Fabletown with Love" and "Fables are Forever". If she isn't Grade A protagonist material I don't know who is. Bigby is still her boss so he can still be a major character.
Why are you bringing up James Bond?
Yeah, I have...and the spinoffs are weak as hell. You're entitled to a different opinion, but in mine they are lackluster and nowhere near as entertaining. There are at least 10 fables I would rather play through a "season" as.
Don't get me wrong. I would love to see her as a major character in Season 2, but a lead? No way in hell.
If she can lead a comic, she can lead a game.
What do you mean why bringing up James Bond? Cindy is the best secret agent in the world. I'd say a spy story is a good follow up to a detective story
Nope, sorry. There have been tons of mediocre characters who have held their own comics/mini series.
Well, you think she's mediocre but other fans might not.
Which is fine, but TTG knows that a lot less people are going to pay to play as Cinderella. That's a huge step down from being the Big Bad Wolf. Remember it's about money at the end of the day, not fan service.
Again, I am not saying Cindy isn't a cool character. She just works better as a side character for me. That's just my opinion.
You mean guys? You might be surprised and I trust TT to tell a compelling story and make the game fun enough to appeal to anyone. Theres lots of characters that I would love to see head a new season, just so long as there IS a new season.
Okay, I respect that you changed your comment, but you initially said something like "Do you even know who Cindy is" or w/e. Look you need to stop with the "Have you even read/Do you even know" crap. Just because I have a different opinion doesn't mean I am not as informed as you.
Those characters are leagues apart....
James Bond: All time great fictional character with tons of books and movies. Considered to be the best spy/agent in his world by people who know of him.
"Cindy": A side character from a not so well known comic, who was the main character in a couple of even lesser know comics. Calls HERSELF the best spy on the planet. (lmao, I mean wtf? Who gives themselves a title like that?)
Where did I say anything about guys? Why are you trying to turn into a male vs female thing? Get off the soapbox.
I've seen this exact same type of scenario many a time on this forum, and have been in it myself on occasion. As for the gender of a character having anything to do with interest level, I tend to disagree. Probably a majority of TWDG players are male, and I haven't seen many complaints about playing as Clem. I personally don't care what gender the protagonist is so long as the story is interesting and makes sense. As for the rest of KCohere's post, I agree. Telltale could probably pull it off and make it interesting. That is not to say I think it'd be a step up, I just think they could do it.
I'm asking if that is what you mean since you say a lot less people would play it. Most gamers are guys so I took that to mean that you think most males wouldn't want to play as "Cinderella". If thats not what you were saying, please let me know. With Clem, she was already an established and beloved character so a lot of fans were more open to playing as her. I'm not on any soapbox, I'm just going by what you seem to have implied but if that's not the case, again, let me know why you think most people wouldn't want to play as Cindy.
I haven't read the comics (yet) but i see his point: if the character hasn't a strong "history" or charisma, it will be more difficult to put in the lead thing especially if there're others characters more interesting to hand. (sorry if i'm not clear enought, i'm not an english speaker)
Any of the "tourists" would be interesting protagonists since they interact with other Fables all over the world. Mowgli himself isn't very interesting, but he has some cool skills and an awesome job.
Personally though, I'd vote for a Jack of Fables game. He's a bastard, but he's so much fun to read about. And his adventures in and out of Fabletown would translate well into a game.
I am right there with you on not caring about gender. My point is just that Cindy isn't all that interesting. Clem had more character development in one season of TWD then Cindy has had in Fables and her "spin-offs".
Your response to my comment was the equivalent of this...
Prince_Charming: "Really tired of the high crime rate in my area."
KCohere: "You mean black people? You might be surprised, but white people commit crimes too."
It's that level of "wtf". You just made a ridiculous assumption because you wanted to get on some sort of moral high ground. I've already explained why I think Cindy wouldn't work and as i said, it's just my opinion. You aren't obligated to agree with it.
Fans wanted to play as Clem because she is a solid character that goes through actual development. Cindy is just one note in my opinion.
Your English is fine.
I feel that some of the "hardcore" fans are just overrating how popular she is.
Hardcore Fans: "But she was in a 6 issue mini-series called From Fabletown with Love, and another called Fables are Forever!!! (Titles that are just as unoriginal as the content of the books themselves)
Yeah...and they weren't even written by Bill Willingham (Fables Author). Which is why they are so mediocre. Not even "Cindy's" creator cared enough to write her solo books. So why should TTG base a game around her? XD
I wish I could give you more likes man. Focusing on the tourists would be an AWESOME route for the game to take, especially considering how telltale could pretty much take it in any direction they want since we know every little about what the tourists did early in the comics.
I think Mowgli would be a very good alternative to Bigby, though. He was raised by wolves, for one thing, and he's also a pretty excellent spy. Heck, he is the only one who has been able to track down Bigby when Bigby did his best not to be found. His ties to Sinbad and Aladdin could also be part of his story.
Jack would be an excellent option as well. He's one of the most unique fables in the things that he does (even though he mainly just gets in trouble all the time). There's a lot telltale could do with him.
I dont think they're doing a season two. I think TTG rewrote the story between episode 1 & 2 in order to end it this season. My gut feeling is that they bit off more than what they can chew with all of their other games in the works and just want to dump this IP. You can tell even that even in the finished games. They're kinda directionless and feel phoned in.
Jack had a spin off comic for awhile where he goes to california or something. It wasn't very good, from what i remember.
As most people who read the comics would probably agree, Flycatcher is the best character in all of the Fables world. (though i think his appearance in TWAU is kinda lame) Fans of fables would go nuts over a game with him as the main character.
If season 2 were just after season 1, that is if there is a season 2, Cinderella is the best option for Major Character. Season 1: tear down a criminal empire, Season 2: Find Crane. You should know what I'm talking about.
Enough of Crane already. That loose end gets taken care of in the comics. (as you hinted at)
You really just proved my point. The best plot idea you had for Cindy as a lead character was finding Ichabod. Excuse me, but haven't we already been doing that? Do we really need another season where we track him down again? I certainly don't think so, but hey maybe you disagree and that's cool.
I think that comparison is more than a little off base. I did make an assumption based on your comment that most people would not want to play as Cindy. Since that is a big assumption itself, I asked for clarification and I didnt get it, just you being defensive. I wasnt trying to offend in any way and I certainly wasnt trying to be on any moral high ground. I was actually hoping for some understanding of what you meant, but I guess we can leave it at that.
I thought about Flycatcher too (although I disagree about his appearance in the game being lame. I thought it showed very well what a sweet-natured, trusting person he is) but his story arc was already completely told in The Good Prince.
I just gave the continuation example. There are more. What don't you like? Repetitiveness? Thorough searching? Those are the only ones I can see, both of which don't always happen.
I thought it was kinda lame because he cleans the woodland building in the comic, not so much where ever the tweedles office was. It felt like to me that he was just thrown into the story when he really had no place in it. Even the explaination he gave to Bigby seemed kind of forced just to give him a reason to be in the game.
But I think you could wrangle a 5 episode spinoff about something with him and haven. Id bet fans of the comics would go nuts for that.
Well, he does live in The Woodlands and is always there, so they would have to introduce him eventually. We'll have to agree to disagree on that because I really enjoyed seeing him. As for Haven, it's at peace and it's pretty much unconquerable. There's no one left to try to fight them either. That's why I think that story is done.
I think I guessed correctly, since he ain't responding. Still don't know which one it is though.
He already made his point a few times. He doesn't think switching from the notorious Big Bad Wolf to a character that is vastly less important and not even currently included in the game is a good idea. No need for moral high-grounds or boxes of soap. I hope this clarifies for you.
I think we can all agree The Big Bad Wolf is a suitable main protagonist for a game called "The Wolf Among Us"
I already made my points also so thanks for chiming in after we already ended our discussion.
I chimed in during the discussion last night, if you recall, so it isn't like I found a dead topic and decided to randomly join in. It didn't seem like the discussion ended with clarity, rather it looked to me that it ended abruptly after you specifically stating, "I asked for clarification and I didnt get it, just you being defensive." Therefore I decided to clarify for you and end the discussion for real. You're welcome, by the way.
You repeated just what he said so I don't consider that clarification of anything. In any case, I'm moving on.
I agree with you KCohere, there is no clarification.
