Ten Live-Action Dramas That Deserve An Animated Spin-Off More Than The X-Files
Dollhouse
Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse is a very mixed bag that a lot of audiences tried to convince themselves that they loved. Admittedly, a lot of the show’s problems were the result of network interference, but when the show got going it really worked and it features some of Eliza Dushku’s best work. The idea of special agents known as “actives” who get their memories erased so they can “become” new individuals never found the right balance in the live-action series, but it’s something that could flourish within an animated context.
Dollhouse is another series wherein the idea of focusing on the B-Team not only makes more sense than X-Files: Albuquerque, but it opens itself up to more humorous situations. Echo is the best of her kind, but the exploits of a borderline dysfunctional “active” that gets sent out on more pedantic missions, only to find danger come their way, is a fresh angle for this series that would actually be a lot of fun. Taking an idea like Dollhouse and turning it into an animated series even allows it to evolve the themes that are in play and help it turn into a deeper vehicle, like Ghost in the Shell, which would be pretty incredible.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
