[Serious] What do you think Disney's Recess characters are up to now, as adults?

I can imagine Gus joining the army depending on his relationship with his dad.

Interesting. So Gus has a falling out with his father, and rejects his army "heritage" and goes fully into the world of software/hardware.

Gretchen likely then works as a librarian or as a public service educator, and has to make ends meet by supplanting her income online.

Spinelli doesn't strike me as a coffee aficionado, but she is highly strung and so probably would thrive in a hands-on demanding environment like a coffee house.

Mikey, as a youtuber who consumes lots of food. Yes, I could probably see that. I hoped more that he would be literally on stage performing theater, but I suppose youtube is a stage of sorts where you find your ideal audience, and so food and performance seems like a good fit.

TJ as a mechanic. I guess so, though it feels like a waste of his inspirational, organizational, and creativity skills, though the same could be said for many kids with failed dreams.

Vincent in middle management. Perhaps his passion for sports did not translate well into adulthood and he had to find himself a normal job.

might be that the previous poster just went by questionable prejudices, not by the actual characters.

Trying to afford a house, kids or healthcare (pick one.)

that's a (major) background worry that could be applied to anyone. I'm asking specifically about the recess characters

I imagine Spinelli joining the army before Gus.

beejboytyson@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

I always imagined her as a mechanic

tetris11@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y

Dunno. I can't imagine Spinelli taking orders from anyone unless it's someone she respects, like TJ.

I can definitely imagine her in the trenches however

I can see all of these, except maybe Gus. TJ as a charming mofo flipping houses I can see, though when the price gouging hurts his neighbours In wonder how he'll act

Damn about the spinelli character...

jacksilver@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah they took that prediction an odd step too far.

Spinelli

Is this really the fate you want for a beloved character from your childhood?

TJ

I take it he wasn't your favourite character growing up
