It's Time for a Brief Canon Update!

    It's true that The Fourth Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards is just around the corner, but while that begins its final stages of development, we have some canon updates to share!

This Random Character Has a Name Now!

    In a hilarious move that no one has asked for, one of the characters that has only one line of dialogue in Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story (credited as Volcanologist) now has an official name! Adapted from the obscure video game LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, the previously unnamed Volcano Explorer is now named Volcano Explorer Iggy, with his personality being a hybrid of his two official descriptions and his last name being all-new. Here's the brief on the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. version of this character.

A Slovenian volcanologist who can be a bit of a downer at the LEGO City Museum of Natural History, Volcano Explorer Iggy "Rock" Dust is usually known for being all business about pumice, pyroclastic flows, and the next inevitable eruption of LEGO City's own volcano, Mt. Lay Gow. He's seen the destruction that said eruptions can cause, so he's rather cynical and quite ill-tempered. Because of the destruction that he's seen and how he can wax poetic about the Earth's wrath, he finds comfort in eating ice cream in a cold room. However, his immune system isn't great, so he usually ends up catching colds frequently. The only thing that he burns all the time is his sick pay!

But that's not all that we are working on! Before we get to that, though...

Speaking of Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story, Here's Some Updates and Pre-Existing Clarifications!

    There has been a bit of confusion for those who haven't seen the story bible as to who's who in this film. While most of it is self-explanatory, there are some things that need to be clarified.

• While not stated anywhere publicly until now, Vernon Hart IS the same character as the homeless man in New Year's Resolution. Not much information is given as to how he slept for so long, but the canon states that he got extremely intoxicated from the money that Murphy Flint gave him. Because of the nature of this story, we're most likely not going to tell it in a standalone film.
• It's hard to make out, but the figure in the trees at the end of the film is Baron Typhonus. This is the film setting up the film Eye of the Baron's Storm, which is setting up its own arc that will turn this character into a major villain for the rest of Project U.
• Why does Bigfoot speak in the film? It's a question that popped up when this film was first released, but the long and short answer is that the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. versions of humanoid monsters and cryptids (such as bigfoot) are sapient. This same logic also applies to Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear, where all of the humanoid monsters speak English, work jobs, wear clothes, and sometimes play the banjo. Therefore, Bigfoot has the same level of intelligence as a human being.

And with that out of the way, we have a new headache that we need to address.

Dimension 201 Has Re-Entered the Picture: How Are We Going to Refine That Timeline?

Eye of the Baron's Storm; The upper left portal depicts Dimension 201, the Story-Verse.

    When it was released back in July, Eye of the Baron's Storm did something subtle but unbelievable for the cinematic universe: it revealed a look into Dimension 201, the home universe for many of the short stories by Daniel and Andrew Bermudez. After all of these years, it was subtly noteworthy to see this reality get explored again.

The only problem is that this reality's canon is... not pretty. It's already been pared down since its inception, but there has been a need to go through this universe and try to fix any contradictions that exist within it. While this is mostly due to Daniel and Andrew Bermudez being young at the time, it also has to do with the fact that it's pretty much a patchwork timeline. Some films, stories, newspapers, and more that were a part of this universe were lost to time, meaning that some things just don't make sense. So how do we fix this? We have a few options.

1. Leave It as Is: This would be the easiest option. It would just leave Dimension 201's timeline alone, especially since William's Bell Overture: Forward makes general references to the timeline.
2. Add and Remove: This option is the favored one currently, as it would mean pulling and adding stories in order to make a "cohesive" timeline, but otherwise leaving everything the same.  It would probably look similar to what we have now, but with some adjustments made.
3. Bizzaro Universe: In this solution, everything would be thrown back in, and the universe would be declared a "Bizzaro Universe" where logic has no meaning. It would be kind of like the Dino Attack RPG Legends continuity, just as a separate universe. This is not favored but is still a possibility.
4. Director's Cut: This solution would pull the same card as Dino Attack RPG and just rewrite portions of the stories to smooth over the rough edges. This solution would most likely see a massive reworking of Tales Across The World: A Story Collection to add these rewrites, though that does bring up the question of their simplistic vocabulary and their timeline omissions.

We'll update you at a later time when we've made a final decision.
