Max’s Spectacular Theme Park Odyssey

Back at their apartment, Max and Emily settled into a heartfelt conversation about their plan of action. Max knew he couldn't reveal the truth about his unique situation, so he carefully chose his words.

Max: "I have some initial ideas about how to approach the revitalization of the amusement park. I'll head into my workroom to brainstorm and work on concepts."

Emily, always supportive, offered a gentle smile. "That's a great idea, Max. Let your creative side flow. You never know what you might come up with."

Max (to himself): It's like stepping into a world of imagination. Maybe Emily is right; tapping into my creative side could be the key.

Meanwhile, Emily took the initiative in their conversation. "I'll take on the task of gathering information about the theme park. I'll research its history, its past successes and failures, and its current condition."

Max smiled warmly at Emily's proactive approach. "That sounds like a comprehensive plan, Emily. Let's gather as much information as we can today and then reconvene at dinner. We can discuss our findings and ideas, and from there, we'll formulate a solid plan."

Emily nodded in agreement, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. "Absolutely, Max. We're in this together, and I believe that with our combined efforts, we can make a real difference."

Max nodded appreciatively, grateful for Emily's encouragement.

Max entered his workroom, closing the door behind him. As he stood there, surrounded by sketches, canvases, and art supplies, he realized why Emily had encouraged him to let his creative side flow. It became evident that the former Max had been an artist—a highly creative and imaginative individual.

Max (whispering to himself): "So, the former Max was an artist. This changes everything."

Max felt a newfound connection to the previous occupant of this room, who had left behind a treasure trove of creative expression. The sketches on the walls, the paintings on the easel, and the half-finished projects scattered about all spoke to the artist's passion and vision.

Max: "With this artistic background, it'll be easier to make my 'ideas' seem more realistic."

As he settled into his work, Max realized that this revelation was a gift in itself. It provided him with a unique advantage in his quest to revitalize the amusement park. With his artistic talents and the mental library of ideas at his disposal, he felt a surge of confidence.

Max sat in his workroom, surrounded by the creative remnants of the former Max's artistic pursuits. With each passing moment, he could feel his own creativity stirring, fueled by the legacy of this room.

As he contemplated the future of the theme park, Max understood that he needed a vision that would set it apart from the competition. He couldn't simply rely on existing franchises; he needed to create original intellectual properties (IPs) that would make the park a unique and unforgettable destination.

Max (thinking): I'll need to create something entirely new. Original stories, characters, and experiences that will become the heart and soul of the park.

He made a deliberate decision not to touch any unfinished manga, anime, or series. While they held potential, what he needed were completed stories—narratives with a beginning, middle, and end—that could serve as the foundation for immersive attractions and experiences.

Max (thinking): Completed stories provide a solid framework for us to build upon. They have a dedicated fanbase and established lore that we can leverage.

Max knew that this would be a challenging endeavor, but he was determined to create something truly special. With the artistic talents inherited from the former Max and a vast library of ideas at his disposal, he was ready to craft a vision for the theme park that would captivate visitors and leave a lasting legacy.

Max continued to work in his art-filled sanctuary, his mind brimming with ideas and possibilities for the theme park's future. He knew that to make a significant impact in the world of entertainment, he needed to focus on three key branches: gaming, comics, and animation. These mediums had already seen countless creations in this world, so he needed something extraordinary to stand out.

Max (thinking): It's not the 1920s anymore. Comics, animations, and games have evolved. To make a mark, I'll need to choose carefully.

He understood that despite his family's wealth, his resources were not limitless, and he needed to select three franchises that could become massive hits without breaking the bank.

Max (thinking): I need to find three IPs that are not only captivating but also cost-effective. They should have the potential to become huge while remaining relatively affordable.

Max mulled over his options, considering which franchises might fit the bill. Each choice would need to be a beacon of creativity, a world that could transport visitors to a place of wonder and excitement. With determination and a touch of artistic flair, he was ready to embark on the journey of selecting and developing these IPs that would shape the future of the theme park.

As Max contemplated the selection of franchises for the theme park's gaming branch, one name immediately sprang to mind: Pokémon. He recognized the enduring appeal of this beloved franchise and saw it as the perfect candidate to anchor the gaming component of the park.

Max (thinking): Pokémon is a timeless classic, and in this world, I can envision it as a game developed by a new company.

Max understood that adapting Pokémon into a theme park attraction was a sizable undertaking. He knew that he would need a team of skilled programmers, designers, and composers to bring this vision to life.

Max (thinking): To create an immersive Pokémon experience, I'll require a talented team to help develop the game, design the interactive elements, and compose the soundtrack.

With this idea in mind, Max felt a surge of determination. Pokémon could become the centerpiece of the gaming branch, offering visitors a chance to dive into the enchanting world of pocket monsters. As he continued to sketch and brainstorm, he envisioned a thrilling gaming attraction that would capture the hearts of fans and newcomers alike, making the theme park an unforgettable destination for all.

Max continued to mull over his choices for the theme park's comic and animation branches. Two iconic franchises came to the forefront of his mind: Dragon Ball and Mickey Mouse.

Max (thinking): Dragon Ball and Mickey Mouse—they're both timeless classics, but they'll need some adaptation to fit our world.

Max understood that adapting Dragon Ball into a comic series meant making it more accessible to a new audience. He envisioned the need to present it in color, aligning with the reading style of left to right, which was common in this world. He also recognized the importance of tailoring it to the local culture, which meant leaving out some of the ecchi content that might not be as popular.

Max (thinking): It'll be a lot of work, but with the right team of writers and artists, we can bring the Dragon Ball universe to life in a way that appeals to everyone.

As for Mickey Mouse, Max saw it as an opportunity to create short films or an animated series set in the beloved Disney universe. He understood that the fastest way to gain traction and engage visitors was through Mickey Mouse and his cast of iconic characters.

Max (thinking): Mickey Mouse and his friends have a universal charm that transcends cultural boundaries. Short films or an animated series will be the perfect way to introduce them to our audience.

With the lineup now in place, Max felt a sense of purpose and excitement. He knew that bringing these beloved franchises to the theme park would require dedication, creativity, and collaboration. As he continued to brainstorm and plan, he couldn't wait to share his ideas with Emily during their dinner discussion, knowing that they were one step closer to transforming the theme park into a world of wonder and imagination.
