Maya and The Three: a general analysis
Tumblr media
Today, I bingewatched Maya and The Three (will be shortened to Mat3 from now on), from episode 1 to 9, generally because of a good friend of mine, @rainbowcutie1789 . If not for her, than I'd probably would not even know anything about the show. And by the way, this was a part of a game of Truth or Dare that I played with her (I dared myself and her that we'd watch our favorite shows. She watches my favorite, I watch her favorite), She's watching Ren & Stimpy, by the way (she likes it quite a bit)
This post has (spoilers) for the show, but Let's start!
Plot
Mat3 is a linear show consisting of 9 episodes, and its plot is Maya going on an adventure with the three warriors (Rico - The Rooster, Chimi - The Skull and Picchu - The Puma) as a part of the true Prophesy (hence why the main group are at times called "The Prophecy Friends") to defeat Lord Mictlan (the main antagonist of the show). The show will probably take around ~4:30-5 hours for ya.
Characters
Maya - the poster girl of the series*
*a poster girl (out of "poster boy") is when a character (usually the main character, female in this case) becomes the character that the show is generally associated with and appears as the main focus in promotional material such as, well, posters.
Maya is one of the main characters of the show and (as I said) the poster girl of the series. She's half-human, half-god (so a demigod), being the biological daughter of Lady Micte, the goddess of death and King Teca (guess who he is). She's raised by King Teca and Queen Teca (her stepmother). It's basically confirmed in the show that she falls in love with Zatz, one of her former enemies, former emissiary of Lord Mictlan and the son of Camazotz.
In a nutshell, Maya's generally a brave, adventurous girl.
Great MC and poster girl, 9/10
Zatz - The Prince of Bats, poster boy of the series?
Zatz is the prince of bats, being sort of the poster boy of the series, but mostly because of his handsome design, with a generally glorious, but Gothic-like appearance, as he derives from The Underworld (hell?). As I said, he's Maya's romantic partner, that's why I put him right next to Maya in this post.
Can't say much about the guy, but he's a chill dude, 9/10
Rico - The Rooster (hehe he's like Rico from Brawl Stars)
Rico's generally my favorite character in this show because of his personality. He's just a silly talkative guy! He's a magician and he can use two types, one from his apparently sentient staff Estefan (hehe, get it?) and his more powerful and dangerous type, peasant magic. He's generally a really expressive character for me, that's why he's my favorite.
He was cowardly at first, as we learn from his backstory that
(SPOILER ALERT) when he was at his (likely first) magic talent show, he made fun at by other people when he tried to do magic and he used his Peasant magic, in turn destroying the Luna Auditorium as a whole.
He did start to embrace his magic and used his peasant magic and eventually Estefan.
I love him! Such a silly little guy! 10/10 character.
Chimi - The Skull
Chimi comes from the jungle and was raised there, as she was feared by her people for being albino (and thus, having a very pale look) (being called "Monstruo Blanco" (White Monster))
She's grown to be an excellent archer and somehow speaks perfect English, despite being raised in the jungle?
She paints her face like a skull, likely for her deceased mother, hence why Picchu calls her "Bones girl".
Cool ass character, 10/10
Picchu - The Puma (hehe, his name is like Pichu the Pokemon)
Picchu is the barbarian of the main group. Mercy is his motivation, as he thinks that it's something that he wouldn't give, but it's who he was. He also doesn't really have that much knowledge in English, so he messes up with the language quite a bit.
A Barbaric, but kind guy, 9/10
Lord Mictlan - The Main Antagonist of the show
Lord Mictlan has a badass design and I absolutely LOVE how he can just split his face in half at times. He is the main antagonist though.
10/10 design, 9/10 character.
Minor Characters
Here, I'll mention some side characters of the show
Grand Bruja - I'm only mentioning her because she has a goofy design, with her using her nose for battle once.
Grand Brujo (not to be confused with his daughter, Grand Bruja) - also has a goofy design
Ah Puch - there are three of Ah Puch, I love that.
Camazotz (Zatz' father), Vucub - They have badass designs.
Zyanya - Camazotz' wife and Zatz' mother. She has a funny name. (Not meaning to offend her)
Now, the qualities
The Qualities
The animation and visuals are absolutely amazing! There are moments in the show where the characters just pop out of the movie format and get to the borders of the 16:9 format, mostly in action scenes.
Speaking of the action scenes, they are SICK. I love them.
The animation in general is expressive and smooth, always what I like about something!
The character designs are great all around, from beautiful, to badass, to goofy. The visuals are basically movie-standard!
The voice acting is great! Not much to say more about it.
The show itself
The first 8 episodes are great, with episode 1 introducing us to the Teca and Maya herself, episodes ~2-6 introduces us to the Prophecy friends, as she's figured out, again, the true prophecy after (spoiler alert) she sees symbols on her brothers' graves, them being Rooster, Skull and Puma.
The ninth episode, The Sun and The Moon, however is the final one and is about the main group and their allies defeating Lord Mictlan. It's AMAZING, it's an episode that rivals with my favorite episode of Ren & Stimpy, "The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen". Both episodes hold special places in my heart, albeit, the Yaksmen episode has a more special place but Mat3's ninth episode is close.
General rating
It's a really great show that would take you only around ~4:30-5 hours long with amazing visuals and lovable characters!
10/10 series!

Mini character bios for a possible Mat3 modern au (since I already made some modernized character designs for the main 5). Don't really have an idea for the au's plot as of writing this, but I'll figure something out soon. Also these bios might be subject to change btw some of this stuff isn't final.
Maya
Ended up in a super rough fight that ended up with her left arm having to be amputated
Likes playing field hockey & doing martial arts (uses hockey stick while fighting sometimes; she'll make modifications to her hockey stick if in a real bad fight)
Overall, she's a bit of a tomboy
Comes from a rich family
Found Zatz to be kinda creepy in her first few encounters with him but eventually warmed up to him
Rico
Artist (specifically likes painting)
Typically uses spray paint while fighting (basically acts as support for his friends by making enemies more volnerable via spraying paint on them)
Does gaming on the side (typically plays games that allows him to be a bit creative with stuff like Animal Crossing and Minecraft but also enjoys Jet Set Radio & Splatoon mainly because those games have a focus on art in some way)
Chimi
Part of her school's archery team (she's one of the best archers on said team) (weapon of choice is pretty obvious)
Social outcast (only friends are the prothecy crew)
Lives with Rico at his place (Chimi was homeless prior to meeting the prothecy crew)
Although pretty brutish, it doesn't mean she's unwilling to get girly (Chimi loves doing Maya's makeup when she gets the chance to do it)
Pichu
Part of his school's football team but doesn't really like hanging out with the rest of the team members
Has trauma from an abusive relationship (parallel to what happened during the village raid from the OG show)
Acts all tough when with the football team but is super caring for his friends
Is more of a hand-to-hand fighter because of his sheer size & the fact that he's had to tackle countless other teams while playing football
Zatz
Aspiring musician (plays guitar)
Is on his school's fencing team (weapon of choice is pretty obvious)
Sort of a social outcast but people aren't willing to admit bro's pretty hot
Huge simp for Maya (eventually goes on to live with her after his dad gets killed)
Listens to MCR, The Killers, and Radiohead
Bullying incident ended up causing Zatz to lose his right eye

hello, I’ve had this little mat3 headcanon in mind for a while, but basically, I see Maya and Chimi having sleepovers and slumber parties together with Picchu, and while Rico and Zatz might suspect that Picchu’s flirting with the girls, they’re just having a fun time painting each other’s nails and watching horror movies!
YES

Rough idea for my Mat3 modern AU, Welcome to Destino Hills
Mayor Warren Michaels (typically refered to as Mayor Michaels or simply Michaels) (Lord Michlan in this AU) (the gods are different kinds of athority figures in this AU) finds out that that his wife, Superintendent Michelle Michaels (Lady Micte in this AU), had an affair with millionare Kingsley "King" Teca & had a child with him (Maya, naturally), and becomes enraged by the fact that Michelle would dare do such a thing (Michaels & Michelle's marriage was basically on life support, with Michaels prioritizing his job over his own wife, who basically helped him become a decent leader so he could become mayor of the tititular city of this AU, Destino Hills) (what happened to the main series kingdoms? I'll get to that in a bit). Because of this, Michaels decides to send out his inner circle (who are some of the most powerful people in the city), who so happened to be suprisingly good fighters, to do everything in their power to either kill Maya or bring her to him so he can do the deed himself. Queenie Teca (Queen Teca in this AU, obviously), who works as a lawyer, finds out about Michaels' plan, and makes sure her family's body guards are ready and on stand by for whenever somebody tries to attack Maya. However, one day, the family's body guards are all abducted, leaving Queenie & King with one option: hope that Maya can use her self defence skills to use and hope for the best.
With each instance of somebody trying to hunt down Maya, one of the members of the OG "three" is in the area & decide to take action (or in Rico's case, gets caught in the crossfire on accident and now has to fight alongside Maya because he tried to defend himself and Maya), with each member deciding to stick around after each encounter after hearing what was going on with Maya.
Okay, now time to explain wtf I'm going to do with the kingdoms and stuff before I explain how Zatz fits into all of this & discuss how this AU ends. Instead of the main series' kingdoms, Chimi, Rico, Pichu, and Maya are part of different school clubs/teams in their school, Chimi on the archery team, Rico in the art club, Pichu on the football team, and Maya is on the student cousel, floor hockey team, and wrestling team, which each club/team serving as a "kingdom" of sorts. Basically the normies who aren't the children of authority figures go to public schools & the children of authority figures (the younger gods & singular demigod in the OG series) go to highly selective/ private schools around the city.
Okay, back to buisness. Before or after each assasination attempt, Zach (this AU's Zatz, naturally), would so happen to show up and try to talk to Maya. Zach lives pretty close to Maya (like across the block) and has had a crush on her for as long as he could remember. Even though him and his father, Principal Cameron Murcielago (Camazotz in this AU) of Zach's high school, were sent out to kill Maya, they don't want to because A) that'd be downright illegal & they're sensible people and B) Zach likes Maya. However, Maya doesn't quite trust this son of an authority figure & finds him pretty creepy, so she doesn't buy into the fact he's actually trying to help until her final encounter with an assasin before Micheals decides to take the fight to the Teca family. After saving Maya and the others from certain death, Zach becomes part of the crew.
The AU ends with Michelle (who finally decided to up and leave Micheals), the Teca family, other members of Maya's high school's student body, and the prothecy crew fighting the remaining authority figures still on Micheals' side when Micheals decides to pull up to Maya's neighborhood to kill her himself. Towards the end of the fight, Zach gets knocked out cold & while trying to finish of Micheals, Maya's left arm gets severely damaged. After killing Micheals, the other authority figures stop fighting & Maya, bleeding from her arm, limps towards Zach, and then passes out herself. She then wakes up in a hospital, her left arm amuputated, being greeted by her family and friends. After a speedy recovery, Maya gets a new arm & gets the happy ending she deserves. The authority figures who fought alongside Micheals got punished & Michelle becomes the new mayor of Destino Hills. Maya and the crew then get to just hang out with each other and breathe easy now that nobody is out to get them and them specifically.
TL;DR: Local mayor goes fucking crazy and sends city workers out to kill some girl his wife and a millionare had together but falls to a bunch of teens and three adults.
I might make some adjustments to this since this is a rough idea for the AU, so some of this may or may not be subject to change. Also I got some art of the modern main 4 in the works rn (as promised).

It might just be me but I don’t see Rico and Chimi as parents like,ever.I know that it’s canon now that they had children together post-time skip but they would’ve rocked the vibe of chaotic aunt/uncle who live either on the outskirts of the Luna Island or deep in the jungles and who do shit ton of dangerous things (be it protecting the kindoms from the outside forces,experimenting with magic or trying to fight off puma with bare hands).Meanwhile Eagle and Jaguar are in awe of what these two are doing and often beg their parents to go see the Skull Archer and Rooster Wizard. I just KNOW that Rico gifted the Maya siblings explosives at least once,while Chimi tried to teach them how to swim amongst crocodiles.

Mat3 Heart of a God Character Bio #2: Maya
Probably should have been the first of these bios to come out but I REALLY wanted to get my rework of Zatz's backstory out there (speaking of the prince of rock and roll bats it wasn't until rewatching one of the episodes in Mat3 that I realized they do kinda explain how Zatz lost his eye and now I feel kinda dumb lmao but whatever it's not like I used the OG's series' explaination in my re-imagining anyways so it's fine). Anyways, here's Maya's bio :D
Basically Heart of a God Maya is almost exactly the same as the main series Maya (I thought her story was pretty much perfect so I'm not gonna mess around with her as much as I did with Zatz's) (this will also apply to Chimi's bio and Rico's bio but not Pichu's since I want to change is backstory from what it actually is in the show to something else). Same upbringing, same schick where her parents don't want her to go out fighting and junk BUT Heart of a God Maya's reaction to her demigodhood and her parents not allowing her to be all rough and tough is pretty different from how she reacts to all of this in the main series. Being forbidden from fighting and finding out she's the demigoddess of death at the same time ON HER QUINCENERA is all too much for Maya and really upsets her, so when her parents tell her that she doesn't have to go to the realm of the gods she gets caught up in the moment, gets pissed, and decides to go with Zatz regardless of the fact her parents are more than willing to fight for her.
Upon arrival in the realm of the gods, Maya isn't too happy to be there and doesn't really want to do anything with any of the gods (only to start connecting with her birth mum after a few days), and it doesn't help that until she's fully adjusted to being in the realm of the gods for life, Zatz is basically the BotW Link to her Zelda; she doesn't want to be around the same dude that dragged her to the realm of the gods at first, but over time the two get closer and become lovers towards the events of this re-imagining of the show.
Also, since I don't really feel like the show really gave Maya a god power of her own (we've seen other gods kill other gods so I don't feel like her ability to kill gods is that special), I decided to give Maya a special ability of her own. When extremely provoked or when she wants to protect others, Maya will go into a sort of sugar skull form (similar to the goddess of death) (might make art of this 2nd form sometime in the future) and gain immense strength (this sort of strength makes it easier to kill any sort of biotic lifeform from the mortal realm or gods when she's using a weapon; she doesn't immediately kill everything she touches in this 2nd form because of the weapon rule), create flowers (like the goddess of death), and summon the souls of the dead by using the incantation the goddess of death sings to Maya throughout the main series (I wanted to give that song more significance other than being the thing that brings Maya and the goddess of death together) (the song still brings them together in this re-imagining though btw) to have them fight alongside her or to use the essance of their soul to shapeshift into that person (as long if the soul is willing to do so).
Other info:
To make some more parallels to Maria from the Book of Life (because Maya's reincarnated as her), I wan to emphasize Maya's wide skill set outside of being a great fighter by having her being a bit of a book worm (the goddess of death has a library in her... mansion? palace? her home is what I'm tryna say here. anyways, Maya gets super interested in the library and decides to spend her down time in the library)
Deep down (at the begining of this re-imagining's story), Maya regrets snapping at her parents the way she did but she refuses to acknowledge this feeling (she finally accepts that she was wrong towards the end of the story)
Maya gets pretty damn close to the goddess of death by the end of this re-imagining's story.
