for Golden Queen in Skylanders: New Adventures
Suggested by demurelyhydrated
Twenty years have passed since the conclusion of Adventures, and all has mostly been peaceful in both Skylands and Earth. Skylands has entered a new golden age of peace and prosperity, and the Skylanders' members have disbanded to focus on their personal lives with the new peace this age provides. Back on the Earth, the portal masters have found success in their personal lives, and the Skylanders games invented by Jake have become a fond part of many people's childhood nostalgia. But soon, a handful of kids from Earth will realize that these are more than just games when they enter a series of strange portals that arrive on Earth... ║ Fancast for a sequel to Skylanders Adventures that would act as a loose adaptation of pre-revamp Ring of Heroes and a potential springboard for a Skylanders reboot. Professional VAs only, no celebs, and modern-day casting only. See the original fancast if you want to do time-period accurate casting.
