Mira and/or Zoey
Given her twin id and her connection to Jinu, Rumi was the proper focus for the primary movie. However Mira and Zoey clearly have extra to supply than simply being supporting characters. If Rumi’s major arc has kind of completed, it’s time to let a brand new member of Huntrix take the lead.
Clearly, a shift in focus will change the stability of the story, as Mira and Zoey have very completely different personalities than Rumi. However that would enable KPop Demon Hunters 2 to have a brand new tone. Will we get a darker story, with Mira coming to grips together with her band’s even better fame? Will Zoey enable her exuberance to get the perfect of her, forcing her to wash up a multitude she didn’t intend to make? Regardless of the course, we’d like to see Zoey and Mira turn out to be extra than simply backup singers.
The Different Acts
A part of KPop Demon Hunters‘s magic stemmed from its capability to work a high-stakes non secular battle into the world of pop music competitors. To drag off one thing on such a cosmic scale, Kang and Appelhans needed to slender their focus to only two acts, Huntrix and the Saja Boys. They may solely gesture towards the existence of different KPop performers.
The sequel is the proper time to allow us to see (and listen to!) another teams within the KPop Demon Hunters universe. Perhaps we see Huntrix go on tour with an act that has nothing to do with the demon searching aspect of issues, resulting in new hijinks. What in the event that they get paired with a traditionalist act who desires to dethrone Huntrix whereas rejecting Rumi’s new sympathy for demons? There’s clearly numerous room to develop on this universe.
No Extra (However No Much less!) Bobby
Voiced by Ken Jeong, Huntrix’s nervous supervisor Bobby was a spotlight of the primary movie. He at all times introduced welcome comedian aid to the story, and stole each scene he was in. Nevertheless, animated movies have a nasty behavior of taking a likable aspect character and pushing them to the forefront within the sequel (see: Mater within the Vehicles films and Olaf in Frozen).
KPop Demon Hunters 2 can not do this with Bobby. They’ve a superbly good aspect character already, one who works nice with lower than ten minutes of display time. Placing extra consideration on Bobby not solely takes up house that may very well be used for different acts or Rumi’s mom, however it additionally stretches Bobby past his limits, turning him from a welcome distraction and into an annoyance.
