ABOUT EXO-SQUAD FAN REVIVAL
Why 3D?
As much as I love the 2D animation and art form, an animated series such as EXO Squad, if it were to be reborn could benefit from 3D. Some current 2D animation utilizes 3D for things like buildings or vehicles that would be too time consuming to animate, however the characters themselves remain 2D. Rendering shaders know as toon paint or cell shade can allow for 3D models to look like 2D drawings but the results are far from the intricacies of hand drawn art.
Where would I like to see 3D in Exo Squad? Nowhere really. I would think however 3D could be used greatly to improve the detail of the E-Frames and ships, and improve the number of E-Frames or ships present on the screen in a single frame as well as increase the options of camera angles and such for the director. Whereas 2D animation falls into a pattern of recycling backgrounds and character shots, 3D can help reduce the monotony.
THE STORY / SCRIPT
Setting: After the war, near the complex holding the Phaeton clones. JT Marsh enters the hallway in Phaeton's bunker leading to the room of clones.
Phaeton: ( From the shadows of the corridor ) Ah! Commander Marsh.
JT Marsh: Phaeton!?
Phaeton: At this time it would seem you are correct ( Emerges from shadows )
Jt Marsh: (Draws Weapon) Stay where you are!
Phaeton: Is the war not over? Lower you weapon!
JT Marsh: Not a chance! Not after what you've done.
Phaeton: (Walks towards door leading to clone room, door opens but he pauses before entering) I, have done nothing, and unlike my predecessor I do not bare the hostility towards you nor the paranoia towards those of my kind. I even lack the desire for power that drove this war to it's bitter end. (Enters room, waking towards one of the tubes that once contained a clone of himself) No, all those demons are but a face... Free me from my past!
JT Marsh: You once told me back on Olympus that killing you wouldn't make a difference.
Phaeton: Yes.
JT Marsh: You also told me you once knew happiness.
Phaeton: Then you will let me go?
JT Marsh: Hold on! I can't just let you walk out of here.
Phaeton: Then maybe THIS will change your mind.
JT Marsh: (shock) ...
