Mako Mermaids/Island of Secrets News

Oh yeah, I was wondering if this was actually going to be a thing or not.

Are the character designs getting to anyone else, or is that just me?

Nope not just you. Rikki especially. The tails matching the hair, Rikki having red hair and the whole style of the cartoon is really bugging me

Just noticed something else, they have a tail on land at the moon pool, pause at 0:53

weirddddd... but I'll probably watch it anyways. At least a little

As for that trailer for next season of Mako Mermaids...

"EVERYONE GETS TAILS. THE CAMERA CREW GETS TAILS. THE CATERER GETS A TAIL. In fact, forget about writers at all, we're all just going to get into tails and film that, then film a bunch of shots of us pushing each other into water and holding hands underwater."

I'm starting to get inspired. Question: what would a movie look like if it was made by merpeople instead of denizens of land ?

[Miyu]

I was wondering the same, aptamer! What happened if mermaids bought some high-tech film equipment?

[Mermaid Neri Elvina]

Oooooo I wonder...

I'm just starting Season 3 of H2O on Amazon Prime (free streaming), and I am totally addicted. I'm so glad there's a related series (Mako Mermaids) to inhabit next. I hope this franchise becomes the Doctor Who of mermaid TV and goes on forever!

Eeeh, I will probably not watch it. It is too childish for my taste.

Also, the thing that bothers me the most is the depiction of sharks and eels are "evil". And it bothers me for the same reason that in some children stories wolves are "evil". Wolves have been hunted down for years, and even know, that we know about their nature and customs, people still describe wolves as "vicious". Sharks are killed sometimes out of fear, when it is well know that for the most part sharks won't attack people as often as they are said to.

[sashiyoop]

The whole talking sea life thing is just putting me off entirely.

Yeah, I'm with Talia and Pearlie about the cartoon version. First, why do it??? The original series is a fabulous family show. Second, I CAN'T STAND cgi'd, talking animals. Third, generations of predator vilification have contributed hugely to the decline of wolves, sharks, and other apex species.

Gonna pass on the H2O cartoon remake.

Same here. Talking sea life puts me right off.

The cartoon version doesn't sound like they have Aussie accents. To me they sounded American. So that's why I thought it was an American spin-off.

[Arielle]

Exactly, wasn't it just a year or so ago when they finally let the USA see H2O for the first time on tv. I couldn't even find it on American DVD online. They had it in UK DVD but you can't play those on American DVD players

I used to watch it on Nickelodeon when I was eight though, and I'm in the USA :o

[MermaidCora]

I love every part of Mako Mermaids! And Season 2 is supposed to have more mer-people than ever before!! BTW... anyone know when Season 2 is coming out?!?

uurrrrgh.
That's like, H2O for toddlers.
The Disney version.
Probably done to make it more appealing to Americans.

They've redone several of the greatest movies ever made so they were more "American" (including movies that have nothing to do with the US, at that), also cut out fantastic soundtracks and replaced it with "less European sounding music", and so on.

Ye, have fun with that, dudes.
I'll pass.

[MarkF]

What is a European soundtrack? Did you know that we had so many Germans moving inyo the USA that it was the first time the US made an imagration law. The number of nordic and baltic are crazy. Russian have entire communities in the northwest US.
So what music?
P.S. I say this in fun!
