The outline for the first season of my pitch for a Once Upon a Time revival. Once Upon a Time Ragnarok.-UNR

https://ift.tt/QClU4FE

• The first episode of S1 would open with a man washing up on the shores of Winterhaven. A town on an island off the coast of NewFoundLand Canada. The man in question named John Doe (Voiced by Jeremy Renner) doesn't have any memory of who he was before he came to the island. Sometime after he wakes up though, he is found by the mayor's daughter, Mavis, who claims that not only is she John Doe's sister, but also that the town has fairytale characters under a curse. John doesn't believe her at first, and decides to leave, but after seeing some were clues in the island beaches caves, but also when a photographer, Henry Miller, comes to the island claiming the same thing.

• So he decides to stay, the three of them working together to find out the truth, while John also tries to piece together who he was, before he came to the island. So it's kindof a parallel plot to S1 and S7, however, the difference being that to protagonist, doesn't know who he is either, infact, he doesn't even remember what his life in our world was like at all to begin with before he came to the island. As for the residents, they would be...mostly the side characters from the original series that didn't get enough focus along with some new characters.

• For example, Loki (who's female and voiced by Rose Reynolds) is the owner of a Pawn shop, basically kind of takes Mr. Golds role in the original show, but at the sametime not really, Red Riding Hood and her son own a diner, Red taking her grandmother's role while her Son, Sapphire has the role she had in the original series, though unlike her when she was younger, Sapphire is a shy and soft spoken kid who just wants to get through school and stay out of trouble as much as possible, Elsa is the principal of the school, her sister Anna, lives with her and is a bit of a trouble maker, with the two not having the best relationship, Merida is the gym coach, same with Mulan, Prince Charming is the head of the Police department, his son going to the same school Mavis goes to, Jasmine is a teacher at the school, Ariel works at the docks after the death of her husband, and Kristoff owns and runs a Bakery.

• As for the new characters, Willy Wonka (voiced by Donald Glover)....is homeless and living on the streets, same with Jack Frost (voiced by Grant Gustin), Hiccup (yes, Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon (voiced by John Krasinski)) is wheel chair bound and works at his deceased dad's autoshop, Goldilocks (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld), lives with her family, the three bears, at a bed and breakfast, John Watson (yes, that John Watson (voiced by Troy Baker)) is a therapist, and Rapunzel (voiced by Candice Patton) teaches a private art class, as well as volunteers at the mental institution, where she looks over Flynn Rider (from Tangled (voiced by Dev Patel)), the only other person who remembers his old life, but everyone thinks he's crazy, so he's locked up in a tower in the asylum.

• The Mayor, is Albert U. Cardinal, Mavis adopted dad, who if you couldn't tell, is Dracula, and the one we are led to believe put there characters under a new curse, and him and John Doe don't exactly get along. Anyways, the first season is only 13 or 16 episodes long, which will be the case with this series, so I won't be going to in-depth.

• The main important stuff is that Rapunzel and Eugene/Flynn Rider are sort of the new Snow White and Prince Charming of the series, with most of the flashbacks in the episodes focusing on them and there relationship. However, they wouldn't be the only ones we focus on. As we learn, Van Helsing (voiced by Pierce Brosnan) puts a team together consisting of Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup, and Jack Frost. So the flashbacks also focus on the friendship between these four. We get episodes focused on other characters. Such as Anna and Elsa who are sort of the new Red Riding Hood type characters in the sense that they share a close bond with Rapunzel, much like how Snow White and Red Riding Hood shared a close bond in the main show (at least for the first three seasons), and we get two episodes with them, one being basically a retelling of the first Frozen film, the big differences being that Rapunzel and her other three friends are there, and that the ice blast to the heart turns Anna evil, but Elsa is able to return her to her former self in the end, the other is one on the second film, but more on that later, an episode on Mad Hatter where we learn Dracula threw him and Regina into the Mentel institution due to the risk involved in keeping them around, with these flashbacks basically be episode 5 of Moonknight, but with Sebastan Stan as the Mad Hatter, and his grown up daughter would appear in the present day, teaming up with Henry to save him, but it fails and leads to Hatter's death, and we also get one on Red trying to find more of her species, leading to the black and white world Frankenstein is from, where she has a run in with Wolfman (voiced by Norman Reedus), and an episode focus on Loki and some of the Norse gods, mainly Thor and Balder.

• Throughout these episodes, we also meet the elusive Professor James Moriarty, who in this universe, is a masked Vigilante of sorts, with a metallic steampunk mask, a green and black suit with a hood, and he carries with him a Vampire slaying sword. His character also takes some cues from Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. As in an episode, we learn Moriarty's motivations are at first to save his sister from Vampirism, but it fails after he loses her, and he slowly starts to become the more traditional Moriarty from literature. We see his rivalry with Sherlock Holmes (voiced by Mahersha Ali) in these flashbacks as well.

• But the special episode would be an 1 hour long episode, and the third to last episode of the season, simply titled "Atohallan", the episode in question covering the events of Frozen 2, and would be entirely set in the fairytale world with only three flash forwards, one in the opening, one in the middle, and one in the end. This episode would be split into three plots. Plot 1, focusing on the Big Four (Rapunzel, Merida, Jack Frost, and Hiccup) plus Eugene, going on a quest to the Enchanted Forest (not THE Encanted Forest, the one from Frozen 2) after Hiccup hears a singing voice calling him there, he also learn, Hiccup is depressed, as he recently lost his wife, Astrid, and his friends think this quest could help him out of this rut. Plot 2 is Anna and Elsa, and...is mostly the same as the second film, the only difference being no Olaf and Anna and Kristoff are already married by this point, and Plot 3 is Red's son Sapphire, along with Wolfman, and Sapphires friend, Moana (voiced by her VA from the actual movies), escorting a women named Honeymaren (voiced by Sasha Calle) to Atohallan, she believes there's something there she needs that can help her.

• There would be a lot of twist from the original Frozen 2. For starters, The Spirits and Northuldra, don't exists, instead, the Enchanted Forest is closer to the road to the wishing star from Puss in Boots the Last Wish, with the first changing depending on however has the map, also, the Isles of Berk, take the role the Northuldra had in the original film, as we learn Anna and Elsa's dad is actually from Berk, while the mom was from Arrendelle. We also learn that Anna and Elsa's granddad, basically poisoned the Chief of Berk at the time, and used special crossbow bolts, to enrage the Dragons and attack Berk, this backfired however, and led to his downfall, while Agnarr and Iduna escaped the island, Bruni, the fire lizard, is now a species of dragon called...well...Bruni's, and Nokk, the water horse, is actually something Jack Frost creates, to help Elsa cross the dark sea to Atohallan, and finally, Elsa's need to not want to be queen and separate herself from her sister, will actually be meant to be a bad thing. As it shows she's willing to regress back to the person she was, rather then continuing to let people in, and finding that balance, between magic and humanity, and it will ultimately be the Big Four, that make her realizes that this is wrong.

• Also, Elsas powers, are now tied to the Norse Gods, and the seasons of the year, with her and Jack, both being the Gaurdians of Winter, Anna and Kristoff being the Gaurdians of Summer, Hiccup and Merida being the Gaurdians of Autumn, and Rapunzel and Eugene being the Gaurdians of Spring. Anyways, they also fine out that and old nemesis, Pitch Black (voiced by Tom Cavanagh), got himself trapped in Atohallan, because venture too deep, as well as stayed there for too long, and now, he needs someone else to take his place. Choosing Elsa, as she begins to freeze like she did in the original film. However we learn this was all a ploy from Loki, and here, it's revealed in a twist, that Loki, is not the OG, but instead someone else who took the mantle, in the form of Alice from S7, and, with help from Jack and the Spirit of Rumblestilskin (who ends up being the show version, of the wind spirit, Gale) defeat Pitch Black, Loki/Alice, imprisoning herself in Atohallan, until the day comes when she's needed again. Now freed, Elsa along with Jack, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup, Kristoff, and Eugene stop a giant tsunami that Pitch created from destroying Arrendelle. The kingdoms of Berk and Arrendelle, becoming allies once more, along with Dubroch and Corona.

• It's revealed in a twist that Honeymaren, is actually Chani from Dune, and that she came to this world, because she believe Atohallan holds the key to save her world, from a tyrannical dictator, named Paul Atriedes, setting up the villain of next season. Elsa forgives her for lying to them, and gives her a piece of Atohallan (which turns out to have a special version of the Spice) believing it will help. As she returns to Dune. Also, it should be mention, while it won't be revealed till next season, Hiccup and Elsa end up in a romantic relationship, and while Elsa is hesitant to leave Arrendelle for him, Anna gives her her permission and consent to do so, with Elsa leaving to Berk to be with Hiccup, and Anna and Kristoff becoming Queen and King of Arrendelle.

• the stuff in the present day throughout all these episodes would obviously relate to what's happening in the past in some way. Whether it be helping the present day counterparts or stuff like that, just like the first season of the main show. The final episode is when all is revealed, as the flashbacks this time around, are set after S7, where we learn, after Regina merged all the realms into one. Dracula, salty as ever, wanted to destroy all she had built, and so he and Moriarty teamed up to go back in time and make two trips, the first is to kill Mother Gothel from S7 when she was younger, making that alternate world, into one with no Gothel, which erases S7 from continuity, however, unbeknownst to them, Alice snuck on, and in the past, found Loki's crown, becoming the new Loki, and effectively surviving the timeline reset. There second trip, was shortly after S6, in which, Moriarty used a Genie lamp, to gain the power of the Dark One, however, he also uses the Genie lamp, to give Rumble and Belle the happy life he feels they deserve, with his memories being erased, and finally, Dracula kills Zelena, and uses the Lamp to erase Storybrooke, and send the residents to a pocket dimension where they will live out there lives forever, Emma, Henry, and Hook escaping in a similar manner to S3A, with Regina wiping there memories, and replacing it with a new happy life.

• This is where we get the big twist, that John Doe is Professor James Moriarty, and that he was the true one that created the new curse as the new Dark One. However, it's revealed Dracula knew this, and right before the curse was enacted, Dracula used a device to send Moriarty forward in time, so he could have the power alone. However, it backfired as Moriarty ended up in Winterhaven anyways, knocking his head on a rock when he entered the future, which wiped out all his memories. However he put a curse on Moriarty, that if his memories came flooding back, he would into an eternal sleep. Which as you can guess, Mavis performs an act of true love, after her, Henry, Regina, and Loki/Alice deal with Dracula, who retreats to his mansion after being defeated, and this lifts the curse, restoring everyone's memories.

• the big cliffhanger ending, is Henry sending a postcard to Emma and Hook, plus Henry's wife (later revealed to be Drizella from S7) , and the big reveal that Moriarty is no longer the Dark one, and that the new Dark Ones are Snow White and Prince Charming.
