Knights of Guinevere/ Fixing Gwen

 originally posted on tumblr, Sep 21th 2025 

a possible story arc i can see for KoG is: at some point, Frankie fixes up Gwen. she's in immaculate condition again and ready to go, but Andi is against bringing her back to the park for some reason. maybe because of Sparky, maybe smth else, who cares. but Frankie still wants to make an impression, to show her skills, so off they go.

it goes terribly bad. maybe it's Olivia herself or maybe it's some spokesperson for her, and they see Gwen and are not impressed in the slightest. more like outraged with what Frankie has accomplished. "you think you fixed her? you ruined her. did you really think you'd know better than us, who made her? you're a menace to us, our brand and Gwen's entire image. go away before we call security for this breach on our assets." and send her away, devastated.

it would be a good critique of Disney, to ignore fans who are trying to salvage the potential in their characters, while putting them down for even trying to offer good critique or be heard over some imaginary line-goes-up scenario from the suits. cus Frankie loves Gwen, even when she's at her absolute lowest she can see the brightest memory of her childhood in her. For the execs, Gwen is just a vessel for printing money at the cost of everything -and everyone - else.
