So, they conceived of as many as possible.

By the timeInside Out 2had its first screening, nine additional emotion characters made it to the screen.

However, she was ultimately cut because this negative emotion took things a touch too far.

It’s easy to imagineShame taking things to a dark place inInside Out 2.

The same wouldn’t have been true for Shame.

This character would have been rather similar to Envy, who was included in the film’s final cut.

While Envy was cute and well-intended, Jealousy might have been a much darker force.

Envy bordered on admiration inInside Out 2.

Since Riley made a fewmistakes inInside Out 2, this would have been highly relevant.

The problem with introducing Guilt inInside Out 2is that Riley already demonstrated this emotion in the first movie.

Love might have been a sweet character that Joy would have immediately taken a liking to.

However, it’s easy to imagine that this would quickly get complicated.

Riley loved her parents in the firstInside Outmovie, and she had already developed a few crushes by 12.

However, there would have again been a problem differentiating this character from one of Riley’s existing emotions.

Joy already encapsulates hope since her eternal optimism is essentially the same thing.

While she has moments of despair inInside OutandInside Out 2, Joy’s natural state is extremely hopeful.

This character would have no doubt been fun had he made it toInside Out 2.

However, Courage might have gotten in the way of Joy’s big confrontation with Anxiety in the end.

It is also interesting to consider how Courage might have been presented as a negative emotion.

Of course, this moment was just as impactful without Courage, so this character was evidently unnecessary.

Aside from this, it’s difficult to imagine how this would have fit in.
