Hotel Transylvania: How it should have ended

Spoilers ahead!

In my personal opinion, this movie was not as good as the first two, for several reasons. First of all, Dracula and Ericka may have fallen in love, but that does not mean that they should have gotten married right away at the end of the movie. Realistically, their relationship would have taken much longer, especially considering the fact that Ericka tried to kill him earlier due to her grandfather's influence.

(You can't marry someone you just met!)

Bonus: If Dracula's wife were alive, she would have murdered Ericka on the spot due to her distrust in humans. In addition, Mavis is going to have to get used to Ericka around the hotel. Which brings up several questions:

What will Dracula's and Ericka's children be like?

Will Mavis and Ericka still have trust issues due to her background as the decendant of a monster hunter?

Will more humans discover the hotel, and thus make monsters move to a safer location?

Will Ericka's grandfather still hold a grudge against all monsters/monsters hold a grudge against him?

Where are Ericka's parents and family members?




Second, who's idea was it to turn Atlantis into a Las Vegas casino? If your going to make a kids movie, please don't encourage them to partake in risky behaviors for adults.

Third, when Dennis and his wolf pup friend sneak Tinkles, a large puppy, possible born from Cerberus, no one notices his clearly visible face until the hat and jacket come off. Why?

Fourth, the instrument of destruction is...dubstep music? Really? The end battle just turned out to be a music battle between the professor and Johnny, over how the Kraken would be controlled. So "good" music like "The Macarena" is able to overpower the professor's "evil" music? Come on! That makes no sense. Sure, the Macarena was fun to dance to, but the instrument of destruction should have been more powerful or at least had a back up song. Heck, it should have been something else, like a dark trident or a ray gun, or better yet, dozens of cell phones (Watchers of Hotel Transylvania The Series will know the reference).


So would there have been any other song that could have beat the Macarena? Certainly. A song both with positive and negative tones to it, even more powerful than both of the songs.

"Thriller?" it would certainly have everyone dancing and getting along much faster.

"Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites?" Too confusing for the monsters. They would dance wildly and everyone would question who was good and who was not.

But there is only one song that could have unleashed the beast in the Kraken, destroying the monsters for good, even blowing the professor out of the water. Even the Atlanteans wouldn't stand a chance.

Which song is that, you ask?

The Enigma TNG's "Monster Killer" of course!

Seriously, movie, you don't have to be overboard kid friendly and ridiculous to try and make things work. If you want to make another great sequel to celebrate the summer, do it right next time.
