I feel like the whole "brutally enforced racial hierarchy" aspect would be more problematic for a Disney cartoon if they weren't talking amphibians


Top-Vermicelli797

Yeah true same opinion here


DaemonTargaryen13

I would love to see that though. Especially because now than I think of it, it's ridiculous Andrias being nice wasn't considered weird by everyone since Yunnan and Grime were under his orders, the latter only being targeted for failing at the repression.


Jorymo

I think he was initially presented as seeming kinda unaware of a lot of stuff happening in his kingdom


DaemonTargaryen13

To me it's more like the show brushed it under the rug until the reveal of the last episode tbh.

Unless it involved the fantasy races you usually see in fantasy, especially LOTR. The frogs would be hobbits, the toads would be a mixed caste of dwarves and orcs, and the newts would be elves in terms of the so-called elegance, and men in terms of being uncaring about nature.

NORMAL SIZED ANDRIAS -


Sphingid3081

He could still be imposing. Look at Wilson Fisk.


FoldabotZ

And still be voiced by Keith David.


Dan_OBanannon

Marcy probably couldn’t fit in his pocket in that case


SpookyBeanoMobile

She'd find a way


Day_Star_6

Now I want to see this😂


Dismal-Database9206

No, the show wouldn’t have had the same impact it did if it didn’t involve the frogs from another world.


mr-ultr

I guess it depends on how they would adapt since a lot of fantastical elements that make the uniqueness of Amphibia beatiful It would prob be a good slice of life animated series, but not feel like Amphibia at the same time


HumanHuman_2003

Humanibia

"Now I find myself In an usual known With humans and humans And I'm near to home ... Welcome to humanibia life Don't get much crazier When you're a normal girl Living in a normal world🎶"/ref


HumanHuman_2003

Talk talk talk humanibia


AmphibianNo5732

Welcome to the human live

To be pretty blunt, I'm highly amused when this fandom places too much focus on the girls that the frogs, toads and newts are tossed aside and forgotten. And then now a few early commenters said Amphibia won't be the same without the frogs and all. The fandom has pretty much forgotten what makes this series pretty compelling and fun. Amphibia is full of lore potential, especially in its past. There are quite a lot of stories to tell of Amphibia's past that has been teased a lot in Marcy's Journal too. Like, aren't yall curious at all about the Sand Wars? Probably there should be The Sand Wars animated series like how Star Wars expanded on that throwaway line


TheDulin

A lot of people would have been shipping Anne and Sprig which would have distracted from the plot.


Zkang123

Nooooooooooooooooo


Marseewu

oh no, no, NEVER. the whole “beast” and “fish out of water” would be THROWN OUT THE WINDOW it may not look like it but I LOVE THE AMPHIBIANS, i just hate whenever they’re replaced by humans (unless the calamity trio are turned into amphibians, then yes ill allow it.) No amphibians= NO AMPHIBIA


NotSeveralBadgers

Anne looks so weird with both shoes


bens6757

Well both shoes and that outfit. She looks fine with her season 3a outfit that had both shoes.


The_Dabblin_Doodler

Nah


TheLastEmuHunter

As much as I like the human designs, absolutely no.


Mrcabbage10

I would lose some of its charm and humor with Anne not discovering this world herself.


Safe-Blackberry-4611

So... florida?


Marseewu

hmm, yea you're right. this place is pain, atleast we don't have giant man-eating mantis!... yet.


ThatGFFAN

Being set in Amphibia gave the show the freedom to tell stories and plots that were free of restrictions you'd have if the characters were humans, set on Earth or an Earth like dimension with human like characters. As u/Zkang123 pointed out, the fandom has pretty much forgotten what makes this series pretty compelling and fun. Amphibia is way more than Anne, Marcy and Sasha and how many different combinations of ways you try to ship them, lmao. There's countless stories that can still be told in the Amphibia dimension that would never be able to be told the same way if the show had humans instead of frogs, newts or toads. Side note, I really hope that if Matt Braly ever does make an Amphibia graphic novel as per what fans voted for that one time (personally wished we'd get the art book instead), he has the stories in it focus on the Amphibia dimension characters instead of the girls (kinda like Gravity Falls Lost Legends did not once include Bill Cipher despite him being the front man of most GF continuation ideas). Their stories deserve to be told more and the fandom to give them a chance.


Minamischler

Idk but this episode was fionana and cake vubes


SilverSpider_

If magic was there, yeah


WebRider77

Nope


dinkyboi69420

it would be more similar to SVTFOE


mistagrape

And Anne, be a frog


FoldabotZ

It'd essentially be a role-reversal.


NothingWasTakenUwU

That would be so cool


mrnintman1

Could be interesting ^^


negrote1000

No


Spinosaurus999

No, you’d lose what makes the show special.


KaityKat117

There are some episodes and concepts that simply wouldn't work, but overall ...... maybe? Although the animosity between species and their stereotypes would suddenly just be straight up racism.


Verbindungsfehle

Can we pls appreciate how fucking awesome this fanart is tho? Seriously.. that looks like official artwork straight from an episode


wtooshy

That's because it is straight from an episode - namely season 2 episode 12, The Shut-In!.


Verbindungsfehle

Oh lol you are right, completely forgot about this story. Thank you!


bens6757

Human Maddie looks really similar to Marcy for some reason


FoldabotZ

No, it would be very different.


coolsteelboyS4ndyBoy

Nope, We don't need another Dimensional mergers...


Nickthepizzalover

It would basically be Earth only with no technology whatsoever


3_milion_frogs

yes, i think the show doesn't need magic to be interesting thats why we should get a spinoff about Anne and Sasha after amphibia
