Sandaukan reimagined

Sandaukan reimagined 

The novel series is finally having a continuity reimagining sometime in the 2020s. With the stories being over a century old and rather values dissonantly full of old stereotypes, even if the whole series was quite fair for its day, it is time to reimagine all of them in epic detail. Moving the location southwards from Malaysia’s Sarawak and Sabah into Indonesia’s Central Kalimantan may help matters, due to the fact that the actual late Sandokan was most likely a man of Kadazan-Dusun nobility, who believed in Momolianism, the native religion of Kadazans and Dusuns.

A coming of age story also focuses on a new characters like Marianna Capaldi, Louise Stapleton, and Gabriela Gusmão plus mainstays like Sangam, Lien Guillonk and Pau De Gomera. The spinoff, following the coming of age origin story, focuses on the somewhat dysfunctional marriage of Lien and Pau De Gomera, plus the birth and growth of their twin children Dan and Mae De Gomera, as well as a majority of the screwed up Guillonks actually going to intentionally kill her because her father was the CHIP WILSON of his time. 

The prequel, focusing on Sandaukan growing from infant to adult, is basically his origin story. Also, the reimagined Sandaukan isn’t going to be a kingly pirate, but rather a character who begins life as an infant who lost both parents to a rampage of psychopathic landlords having a poisonous fan-celebrity relationship with an infamous sultan. Also, he is partly raised by many of Kalimantan’s various jungle animals, but usually the Mawas, a cryptid much larger than a human, thus becoming an adept climber at a young age. It is hinted that he is of predominantly Dayak Ngaju ancestry.
