King of the Wasteland
Is fangirling the shit out of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit because of Epic Mickey. I haven't been this passionate about a character in a long time and he's a bitter, resentful, cartoon rabbit. I almost cried at the end of this game because I was so happy Oswald and Ortensia got their happy ending. Hell, the game was as much about Oswald pulling out of his depression and resentment of Mickey as it was Mickey's need to take some responsibility for his immature, reckless actions.
Epic Mickey kind of failed in making Mickey an interesting character again, but I hope to hell there's an Epic Donald or an Epic Oswald being pitched somewhere in that monstrosity of a company. I loved the depth and complexity of the game's story, but probably had at least twenty deaths caused by camera fail. Unfortunately, a sequel that would fix the gameplay issues and/or expand the Epic Mickey Universe seems pretty unlikely because of frustrating corporate monkeyshines.
On the bright side, it looks like Oswald has fans within Disney trying to make sure he isn't forgotten again. Pictures of him are already showing up in the backgrounds of attractions and they aren't trying to modernize his look or rush his inclusion into things. Maybe I'll actually have a fandom I can buy shit for and hasn't been dead for five years?
