I, too, get rather upset when Meet the Robinsons is overlooked, it's such a heartwarming movie (albeit a little silly at times) and was one of my favorites growing up. :)

Back to the topic, I kind of agree with what Nightstar said, but I also kinda don't. You see, I usually tend to prefer it when RotBTD is expanded to include other movie charcaters (especially the Once-ler cays he's my favorite...but that's just me) rather than restricting it to just four characters, and considering that Oncie and Mavis in particular are pretty commonly seen as side characters, I'd say it's pretty relevant. On the other hand, I don't think this EU would have enough followers to have its own page. Maybe it can be a side story in Frozen Tangled Guardians or something (or maybe Knights of the Epic Brave Dragons or both)?

Personally I don't support either EU, but if we had to include the Mavler one somewhere it would probably be there. :/

Sorry for rambling. XD Rambling? Who's rambling? You are entitled to your own opinion and have the right to share it, and you do a good job at explaining it in a way we can connect with. That's not rambling.

Oh yeah, he wrote Epic too. He really gets around.

On topic. Of course ROTBD can expand to other characters; that's what EUs are! But as this crossover has nothing to do with any of the original four, it really isn't ROTBD anymore. The Onceler and Mavis are often put with The Big Four, but that is itself an EU. An EU of an EU just sonds redundant to me.

And I think the Mavler one goes with the.. what do they call it, Hotel Rise of the Brave Tangled Lorax Dragons? Idk. But it is on this wikia as a part of the ROTBD+ Onceler + Mavis EU.

Though personally I didn't enjoy The Lorax or Hotel Transylvania. To me they were both just kind of eh movies; I didn't really care about the characters in The Lorax, and I didn't care for most of the humor in Hotel Transylvania, so neither movie really appealed to me. I'd say maybe I'm not the demographic they were aiming for, but I enjoyed HTTYD, Tangled, Brave, Epic, And ROTG just fine, and they were kindof of the same genre (That being children's CG movies). And don't get me started on Frozen. That's just me personally, though. I wouldn't be supporting an EU with characters that I feel nothing more than apathy for. I believe you're referring to the Spectacular Six. That's the only name I've heard for them, though I have seen "Animash Group" floating around...

Anyway, I see where you're coming from, but I feel like you and I think of this crossover a little differently. I like to think of it as a TV series, or in the style of a TV series, where the Big Four are the main charcaters but the others arwe still relevant. When you look at most wikis for real TV shows, the side charcaters and anything that's even mildly related to said show (even if it's completely obscure) has a page. For this wiki of course it's natural for the Big Four to get more attention, but I still consider the rest of the charcaters to be part of the same universe, even if they don't get much attention. By that logic I think extended universes for non-Big Fouy couples would belong. Personal opinions about the movies/charcaters aside, Oncie and Mavis are used as side charcaters in this series a lot, and I think that makes them relevant enough.

Like I said before, if they can't have a page of their own then maybe they can be a side story to Frozen Tangled Guardians or the Mericcup equivilant. Then we could make sort of a "Next Gen Universe" of you will. However the only problem with that is that not everybody supports Mericcup/Jackunzel/Mavler, so if it looks like we made an official Next Gen Universe then people might want to make alternate next gen universes for every possible pairing and I don't think anybody would want to deal with that.

In conclusion, I'm on the fence. I believe that it is relevant, but I doubt it would have enough supporters...if you can spread it around and generate a decent amount of fanart/fanfics/whatever else then I'm all for it, even though I don't ship Mavler. :) The Big Four: The Next Generation! To boldly go where no man has gone before! XD ON THE HOPEFUL PUFFIN 3!!


 * cough* sorry. My forethoughts there.

I agree with what you said; I suppose it would be relevant, but I guess I'm too apathetic toward the movies in question.
