So after watching the Pleasantville videos from both Vee and BlackPilled like four times each I've decided that Pleasantville needs a sequel. The Return to Pleasantville.....
ACT 1:
The story would pick up in the present day where David's kids have to watch their single dad suffer throughout Loneliness and alcoholism. When not producing garbage shows for a Netflix knockoff he drinks, pops antidepressants, and watches an obscure show called "Pleasantville" a miserable show about miserable people living miserable lives. His kids, honestly don't know why he watches it. Eventually one night as his kids are tucking him in after one of his drunken stupors he reveals his story from the first Pleasantville, and the secret of the TV remote he uses to watch it. The kids use the tv remote to travel to Pleasantville and find it a graffitied, crime ridden slum on the verge of social and economic collapse. They track down characters from the first movie updating the audience on their lives, none of it good. They eventually track down their Aunt Jennifer, who is now the Mayor.
ACT 2:
Turns out that Mayor Jennifer is not only running the town right into the ground in true "paved with good intentions" style, but also actively covering something up. A rash of... incidents. As the kids prepare to leave having seen enough, they start to notice strange things around town. Peoples hair, bright and oddly colored before, seems even brighter now. People have two different colored eyes. Odd splotches start appearing on their skin as if they've just been painting. They notice increasing numbers of people with brightly colored fluids leaking out of their mouth, nose, ears, even eyes. These people also experience memory loss and advanced cases just stand around having no sense of personal identity whatsoever. It's revealed that not only has Mayor Jennifer been covering this up for awhile but that's it not local, but global. Massive swathes of the worlds population have begun melting into this brightly colored fluids and it's resulting in massive world wide flooding. The kids decide to leave with Aunt Jennifer but the remote control...is missing.
ACT 3:
The kids and Mayor head out to a ranch on the outskirts of town that's being used as a sort of Traditionalist compound by the former Mayor, George Parker, and some other holdouts who figured out that returning to tradition and rejecting modernity can restore their former black and white appearance. As flooding of vibrant colors reaches the area the whole group heads into town and takes refuge in the old Bowling Alley. Meandering Townsfolk begin collapsing Into splashes of oversaturated colors. Pleasantville now completely floods and the Bowling Alley is ripped from it's foundation and tossed around on the waves. The Bowling Alley now drifts aimlessly on and endless sea of glowing reds, blues, greens, and yellows against a pitch black, starless sky.
The kids, mayor, and last of the holdouts now have nothing to do but sit and wait for the inevitable. Then in through the front door, from right out of the ocean of colors, steps the Television Repair Man from the first Pleasantville. He reveals to Mayor Jennifer that he knew this would happen all along and In fact sent her and her brother here the first time for just this reason. He couldn't enter this world because of it's complete lack of color, but once they introduced color Into it, he was able to slither in, consume it, and lay his eggs in the corpse. A brief tussle occurs during which he drops the Remote Control. The son picks it up, enters the settings, and turns the television repair man black and white. He begins to disintegrate and rushes out to absorb as much color as he can to save his life. As he absorbs color the ocean of colors recedes. The Television Repair Man, too late to save his life, flies into the sky and explodes, leaving behind a permanent rainbow. Instead of going back home the children decide to bring their father there. Reunited with his sister the four of them smash the remote on a rock and walk towards a community in the midst of construction, panning out to reveal a sign reading "Welcome to New Pleasantville".
And that's a rough concept, not that anything will actually come of it. But it's my head Cannon for how that world turns out. A sort of comedy/fantasy version of The Color from Outer Space.
