If they ever make the Gorillaz a show on Netflix or something of the sort I want them to begin the series with origin stories of each character gradually building up to the rest of the lore. And it should be a little bit of slice of life of how they interact as bandmates

[@aaronlandry3934]

Seiya Tinajero Russell was in a gang in New York, with him being the soul survivor of a drive by shooting. Del is the spirits of his friends that died and possess him. Russell eventually went to London, fearing that he’d die next in another shooting, and became a drummer when he saw Murdoc’s ad. Noodle just arrived at their doorstep in a UPS box from Japan.

I believe 2-D has been referred at least twice as pretty, this instance and another short where the narrator called him a "pretty boy". I guess it's just his physical appearance in the Gorillaz universe that he characterized as pretty despite us seeing him as goofy looking. This is due to him being based off Damon Albarn's looks.

[@chrish6001]

I think this plot idea was inspired by what happened to the droid D2 in the 1972 sci-fi movie "Silent Running". I didn't realize it until I read a more detailed movie synopsis because some descriptions just refer to D2 by his nickname. I think he was called Hughey. The droids were Hughey, Dewey and Louie. Stewie, aka Stew, would definitely rhyme. The droid didn't always follow instructions. It got hit by a car or buggy at high speed aboard the spacecraft, was damaged and couldn't be fully repaired so the main character kept it with him. The design on the side on the droids looks a bit like a monkey or ape face. The themes in the movie appear to be referenced in some songs and media by Gorillaz and various artists. The movie set models were record breaking and revolutionary. The movie was made into a Scholastic book for kids.
