Please update the Production section. 45.72.207.240 (talk) 18:13, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Updates
I don't believe there have been any updates on this title since January 2023. And I don't know if production is moving forward at all. 2607:FEA8:761B:C900:E15A:7A4:C4F8:657E (talk) 01:31, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

is this runtime stuff legit?
the film is being rated in several countries, and apparently this movie is 143 minutes long?? that can’t be right. anybody down to try and verify the authenticity? Flyless Kyle (talk) 16:41, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 5 June 2023
Please change "Ruby and Sam's supportive father and Flo's husband" to "Ruby and Sam's supportive father and Agatha's husband" because of Ruby's mother's name mentioned in this source: 99.209.40.250 (talk) 17:53, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Box office
Can someone find sources about how much money the film earned in the United States and Canada and internationally in total? 2607:FEA8:761F:4600:410B:F981:6FCE:C16B (talk) 00:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Future
There exists actual evidence that this film may indeed have a future and I remember that there was a subsection that was, in my opinion, wrongfully removed as a result of the aforementioned articles and quotes from the people who worked with or on this film. Could someone please re add the section? 2A00:23C6:3D09:D801:6811:D331:FCE7:C4D7 (talk) 01:22, 5 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Nothing was confirmed. And it was poorly written. You probably were the editor that wrote it.  Why do you want it added back?  I would agree the second paragraph could be included, but not the first.  Mike   Allen   01:46, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I am not the editor fortunately. The first paragraph, yes I can agree that it is irrelevant. Second paragraph about Lana Condor and Kirk DeMicco wanting to make a sequel in the future is relevant though, I 100% agree. As someone who wants this film to get a sequel, I am hoping they go through with it. 81.129.182.156 (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Also yes, it was poorly written. Spelling errors I.e. the spelling of DeMicco as “DeMico” were present which sort of ruined the section. 81.129.182.156 (talk) 21:12, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Can someone please re add the section? I believe it could prove beneficial to the article. 2A00:23C6:3D09:D801:19DD:DC8E:FF09:D1BE (talk) 01:33, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Find in sources where there is an actual future and we can.  Mike  Allen   12:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * A sequel hasn’t been confirmed but Kirk DeMicco has expressed interest in a sequel in an interview here:
 * https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/teenage-kraken-director-honest-more-mermaids-movie-one-thread-explore-sequel
 * If anybody can find more sources, a page for it could be made. 2A00:23C6:3D09:D801:4580:D297:93AA:EB75 (talk) 00:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Apparently there is further evidence in this. Kirk DeMicco talks about wanting to do more with Teenage Kraken and have Ruby wrestling a Leviathan eventually (am idea I’d personally love to see)
 * here: https://www.gamesradar.com/ruby-gillman-teenage-kraken-cast-director-interview/ 2A00:23C6:3D09:D801:4580:D297:93AA:EB75 (talk) 00:39, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Quick thing, this is still 2A00 speaking, just made a proper account to help with editing articles.
 * The article details Lana Condor wanting to reprise her role as Ruby Gillman as well, just as the page had previously stated before its removal. HiveEmperor (talk) 00:52, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Can a page be made with this info? HiveEmperor (talk) 23:13, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I could not find anything more for the Potential Future section, is this enough? HiveEmperor (talk) 15:22, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Still waiting for someone to answer. Is the information I have provided enough to make the section? HiveEmperor (talk) 18:35, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I do not believe that is enough.  Mike  Allen   22:41, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It’s a good starting point though, isn’t it? I’ll look for more but I think this can be used. HiveEmperor (talk) 23:22, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added the section. It’s my first time creating a whole section for an article so please give me advice if there is anything that could be improved. I think a section about the future of this film could prove beneficial to improving this article. I made sure it wasn’t poorly worded like the previous attempt. HiveEmperor (talk) 21:28, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I see that the links were removed from the Future section. Can someone perhaps re add them but format it so the text acts as a link to the articles instead of the links being separate? HiveEmperor (talk) 22:10, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please do not add this back.  Mike  Allen   23:17, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In the heading, Potential Sequel, the last word SEQUEL is not capitalized. If you keep with the disruption, you will be reported for WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and WP:COMPETENCE.  Also, possibly WP:LTA under multiple accounts.  If you do not know how to edit properly (like you've stated numerous times) then add your suggestions on the talk page and let other editors add it, if it follows guidelines.  I changed the heading to Future.  What is wrong with that?   Mike   Allen   00:06, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I think you’re overreacting. It’s just a capital later. Point taken, I won’t add it back, but jeez, you’re making something out of nothing. HiveEmperor (talk) 06:29, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Request to block someone
Can someone block the editor who keeps changing Will Forte’s name to something in Russian? They’ve done it several times and at this point, it’s very clearly either vandalism or trolling. We have told them to stop and it’s starting to get on mine and a few other editors’ nerves. At least blocking the guy would be much appreciated. HiveEmperor (talk) 21:00, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I have noticed that despite multiple revisions, the person keeps coming back and editing the article. It’s vandalism at this rate and I would like to request that they are banned as it is incredibly disruptive. HiveEmperor (talk) 20:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Is someone going to do anything about them? It’s getting annoying how the person keeps repeatedly adding stuff in Russian. HiveEmperor (talk) 18:05, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Request
Can somebody please ban the IP that keeps messing with the Cast section? It’s becoming increasingly aggravating and can be considered vandalism. HiveEmperor (talk) 19:47, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

"Underperformed at the box office"
This film lost $80 million for Universal, but the lead is written as the film "underperformed". To me, that has a more positive connotation than the actual losses the film made. Furthermore, the Box Office section uses the term 'bomb'. I changed the lead to 'bomb' but this was swiftly reverted. Is there a precedent for the use of underperfomed? And what constitutes this? TimmyC105 (talk) 02:23, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Future
Can anyone find something to expand on the Future section? It needs a little more info. HiveEmperor (talk) 17:11, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Help, I have destroyed the article
Could someone restore it, I just wanted to delete something that was false and I accidentally destroyed the article. Can someone fix it, thanks Izan De Assís (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Ruby Gillman is based from Neighbors from Hell?
Is there anyone who can confirm that this is real. Because I haven't found anything about it Izan De Assís (talk) 20:50, 24 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I think we should removed because TV Tropes is unreliable source. LancedSoul (talk) 20:55, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Well yes, could someone please remove it? I only know how to use the visual editor. Izan De Assís (talk) 07:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Production section
Can someone explain how the production section became unorganized? ZX2006XZ (talk) 13:35, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @ZX2006XZ It was Exteahans71. He made the section unorganized over what he saw from the book called the Art of Ruby Gillman. 64.56.14.75 (talk) 00:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I likewise have concerns about how lengthy and disorganized the section has become, and how it seems to contain minutia that are not encyclopedic. I'm stopping my reverts to hold at 2 reverts in 24 hours, but if others believe that the section should remain concise they're welcome to continue trimming. lizthegrey (talk) 20:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Possible marketing section
Since the marketing of Ruby Gillman was awful, I figure that the marketing could have a separate section of its own. Feel free to comment. ZX2006XZ (talk) 22:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Artbook source in Production section
Do we really need the art book to be a ref source for the production section? It’s not a better source to look through than to give out the people’s names if we know who was credited in the film. 64.56.14.75 (talk) 05:35, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is a ref source Exteahans71 (talk) 10:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No it’s not. 64.56.14.75 (talk) 16:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I think relocating the production section into a seperate article is a better idea.
I know that section is too long, but i think solving it by turning it into a seperate article might be a better idea. Exteahans71 (talk) 21:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If you think the section is too long, why are you repeatedly attempting to add more material to it? Meters (talk) 21:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Because this is a very important movie, and I believe that having a seperate article about the production of the film, should have that long section relocate . Exteahans71 (talk) 21:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I have moved Production of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken to Draft:Production of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. I doubt that it warrants an article, but it certainly should not be in article space as you left it.
 * We don't create articles based on how important an editor thinks the subject is. We create articles based on whether there are sufficient published, independent, reliable sources to show that the subject is notable. Meters (talk) 21:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:ILIKEIT is not a measure of the importance of a topic. We need to stick to neutral standards both in terms of sourcing and due weight of our coverage. lizthegrey (talk) 22:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Deleted from article space again, and creator now indef'ed. Meters (talk) 04:16, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Removal of "Writing" section
I've removed the entire section as none of it is supported by the supplied references. The first ref is a tweet by some random person unconnected to the production. The second ref makes no mention of any of the names listed. The third ref is to a book on the art of the film. It's unlikely that two pages of the book supports the information supplied - if this is reinserted I think we need an exact quotation. Barry Wom (talk) 14:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Please re-add the future section
can someone please re-add the future section? kirk demicco ( the director of the film ) said in an interview that he would like to make a sequel. yet, the future section got taken down, can someone please re-add it? I've tried to re-add the future section myself and yet, it keeps getting taken down saying that it was "unsourced" to despite me clearly adding a source, It would really appreciated if someone re-added the future section, here's a link to the interview: https://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/teenage-kraken-director-honest-more-mermaids-movie-one-thread-explore-sequel 2A02:C7C:DC07:C900:6477:C7C4:FD3:85B1 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you did not source it.
 * This is just the filmmaker spitballing. We don't need to cover it.
 * And you are evading your block. You are not allowed to edit using any account or IP while you are blocked. Meters (talk) 21:20, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Reception vs Box-Office
StephanTheAnimator, when you were rewording this page, why did you bother put the word "also" thinking that there is correlation between mixed reception and box-office faliure? Just why i just need to know. 2601:196:4A01:D770:5DC8:FF1C:47B3:3774 (talk) 22:25, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
