>>87234708Here's my bubble for Weirdmaggedon.
Inside Mabel's bubble, instead of some self acknowledgement of Bill's meddling, she's blissfully unaware of the world outside her bubble. She's under the assumption that she is in the real world, though her world and her role in it don't have to align with reality. The pure idea of there being a reality outside of her bubble could be diminished by Mabel herself being unable to accept she isn't in a false world. False memories in the existing world, or the fact that a less perfect world couldn't possibly exist. This allows for the audience to not have to deal with Mayor bitch, and Mabel has to come to terms with her own ability to accept things, and has to give up her perfect world to face a threat. In this you could still have a trail too.
My preferred answer for this is really what I had expected from Alex, who is undoubtedly a hack after fucking it all up. You could have a human instrumentality that Mabel is in; Shinji in episode 26 of NGE, during the alternate world 4 minute scene, was unaware of there being a world outside of this. In effect, though he wasn't in charge of the world as a god, he was in some kind of perfect scenario he could live in blissfully. At the end of the scene, Shinji becomes aware again that it was all false, akin to Morty coming out of the Roy game, where everything comes back instantly, and there's the return to the previous thought. Mabel in this world would live a streamlined life, and would be ignorant of the outside.
Another thing I expected, especially from the preview, was a The Wall like trail, where Mabel would have been essentially berated by others in an acid trip courtroom. Here, you could have a similar format to The Trial, where Mabel must come to terms with her choices, and the reality of the outside, whether she consciously makes that decision to return back like Shinji of EoE, or the return is forced by a portion of herself, in the subconscious like The Trial
