Grimms Notes rewrite

Themes and Plot

The most difficult part of the entire series. I make a small premise to say that you cannot make a review or a speech without trying to be objective, and it is objective to say that although the plot revolves around the concept of destiny understood as a sort of task to be carried out or a part to be played in a show, without knowing the reason behind this, but simply because that's how it works. The problem is that this issue is treated as a positive thing, and the heroes themselves fight to correct the anomalies within the Story zone as if it were the best thing for everyone. Paradoxically, the viewer is led to agree with the antagonists who nevertheless proclaim that they want to free people from the chains of destiny. But the worst part is that the only one to ask himself questions about the legitimacy of "tuning" destinies, even the most cruel and unjust ones, is Ex, but these doubts of his are immediately dismissed as nothing.

In the 3rd episode when the Tao family members tell him that no one will remember them, he asks "then why do you fight if no one thanks you?" and Reina, with that slap face, replies "because this is the role I chose for myself."... And why the hell only you have the right to choose?! And if you think so, why throughout the series do those without a role seem to envy those with a destiny already written?!

Even the fact that Reina's "attunement" erases everyone's memories is not only a horrible brainwashing to subdue the characters, but makes all their actions null and irrelevant from the point of view of the journey.

The speech that Ex makes in the 10th about the fact that people regardless of the role they play have feelings that are unique to each of them is perfectly logical and can work, but the point of the speech should be that neither the Chaos Tellers nor Story Tellers must allow themselves to distort the will of the people.
In the original instead he yells at Loki and Curly that they are only trampling on the characters' feelings, which is partly true because their plan involves the destruction of the Story zones, but there is no deep and sensible confrontation between these two fronts.

ALL THIS MUST BE CHANGED.

But don't misunderstand, I have no intention of bringing up fantasy clichés, on the contrary, as far as possible I would like to be able to make grimms notes a sort of deconstruction of fantasy. I'll explain better: In Fantasy almost always, sometimes at the beginning of the story, sometimes after a while, the greatest systems are brought up: the genesis of the world/worlds, the divinities that created them, very long wars with giant armies clashing etc. Although many great works have these elements, it happens that when talking about large schemes, we lose interest in the individual characters to focus only on the "Lore".
This must not happen in this story: Although it is inevitable to bring them up towards the end because we will have to meet the narrators and explain how they created the Story Zones, throughout the story we must maintain a certain intimacy, telling and delving into all the characters while remaining consistent with the spirit of the story.

Here we talk about fairy tales almost identical to how they have been told for generations seen from a different perspective. We enter the perspective of someone who frees himself from a life he hates and finds himself able to take control of his life.
The point is the emotions, both genuine and toxic, of the characters in the Story Zone, everyone has their own mentality and these are compared.
The main themes are self-affirmation and sacrifice. The characters suffocated by their roles will make their choices once free, but for this reason they will have doubts, second thoughts, conflicting emotions, taking control of their lives implies taking on responsibilities and facing the consequences of these actions.
Someone will remain on the sidelines believing that it is not worth it, while someone else will no longer bear the pressure of their destiny and will explode, freeing their inner demons to unleash them everywhere.
Others, however, will swallow all their anxieties, continue walking, and every choice and mistake they make will serve to write their story, their identity.

These are the feelings that must be conveyed by the events that will culminate in the revolt against the Storytellers. An important phrase that someone could say at the prelude to the final battle is this: "I don't know how it will end, but this encourages me more than scares me, because I want to be part of those who have thrown in the face of the Storytellers that we exist, or at least that they died trying."

This is the guideline I want the series to follow, and I'm very curious to know your opinions on the matter.
The next chapters will focus on the individuals who go against destiny, namely the Chaos Tellers and the Renegades.

Below I leave the slightly modified prologue of grimms notes (note: Ex will not narrate this, but another much more mysterious character).

When we are born, we are given a book.

A script that contains everything about us, our future, the meaning of our lives... everything."The Book of Fate".

We follow these scripts written by omniscient beings known as Storytellers and play the roles assigned to us from birth until death.

But is it really like that? Is this the only truth?

And if instead, among all the "actors", there were individuals who said "NO", who had the courage to throw away the script, to deny their own destiny and to go against the great scheme of the Storytellers, what would happen?
