    It has to have the same energy though. Dong have to be the same characters, doesn’t have to feature Brakebills for Fillory, but needs the same “we’re broken and magic doesn’t make it better, but hey, here’s a canonical musical” feeling

      I like the “we’re broken & magic doesn’t make it better,” but I wanna fit all, or most, of the musicals into their own episodes. Though, an action-musical sequence in a The Magicians game would go hard af.

        Interesting. I always loved how they fit the musical entries into the story in a way that it makes sense that everyone is singing all of the sudden, lol

          That’s why we have to make it a time-fuck. You don’t even know what’s going on, but the musical episodes tie it all together, and are the key to escaping the spell…
