Remember Sharkboy and Lavagirl? The movie that made 3D glasses feel kinda cool? Yeah, me too. We all secretly wanted superpowers after watching that.
So, About That Sequel... (Or Lack Thereof)
Let's be honest, we're still waiting. Waiting for The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 2. Is it ever coming? Probably not, but a fan can dream, right?
We Can Be Heroes kinda filled the void. It had Sharkboy and Lavagirl as parents. But come on, that wasn’t the same. We wanted more teen angst and volcano powers!
Unpopular Opinion Time!
Okay, here's my controversial take. I actually liked Sharkboy and Lavagirl. There, I said it! I know, I know, some people think it's cheesy. But it's charmingly cheesy!
Plus, Taylor Lautner as Sharkboy? Peak early 2000s heartthrob material. Admit it, you had a crush. Even if you won't admit it out loud.
And LavaGirl? She was awesome! Literally made of lava. How cool is that?
Where Are They Now? (Kind Of)
Taylor Lautner went on to be Jacob Black in Twilight. Big werewolf energy. Not quite shark powers, but close enough?
Taylor Dooley, *Lavagirl*, has been busy with other projects. Plus, you know, life! Time flies when you’re not melting things.
Robert Rodriguez kept making awesome, family-friendly films. He's the king of kid-friendly action!
Why a Sequel Would Be Awesome
Imagine a *Sharkboy and Lavagirl* movie now. They're older. Maybe they have a kid with crazy combined powers! A sequel could explore that.
Think about the possibilities. They could be mentors to a new generation of heroes. Passing down their cheesy-but-effective wisdom.
Or maybe they're having a mid-life crisis and struggling to control their powers. Now *that's* relatable content.
The Chances of it Actually Happening?
Realistically? Probably slim. But never say never! Hollywood loves a good reboot or legacy sequel.
Plus, nostalgia is a powerful force. People love reliving their childhood favorites. And *Sharkboy and Lavagirl* definitely fits that bill for a lot of us.
So, even if we don’t get a full-blown movie, maybe a short film? A TV series? I'd even take a cameo in another Robert Rodriguez film!
Let's Manifest a Sequel!
Okay, everyone, close your eyes. Imagine The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 2. Picture epic battles, cheesy dialogue, and amazing special effects.
Now, open your eyes! And let's start a petition. Or, you know, just keep re-watching the original and hoping for the best. Dream, Dream, Dream, Dream come true!
Because even if it's highly unlikely, a little bit of hope never hurt anyone. Especially when it comes to cheesy superhero movies from our childhood.
