Rorschach Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Haven't really had time to write The Odyssey this week. Will get to it tomorrow for sure. I'll probably be writing Penpal concurrently with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 2PARK SPOILERS: On 4/1/2018 at 12:10 PM, cookie said: - Gyllenhaal's entire plan and motivation as mentioned. It can be fixed if we actually get some form of understanding as to why he does what he does, but so much of it just seems random. Really the lack of any compelling motivation for any of it is the crippling factor. His character is COMPLETELY changed. He has a reason for everything he does, and his motivation is FAR more compelling to the point where he’s even a sympathetic character. Quote - For a movie called "Homeward" we only spend like ten to fifteen minutes on Earth during the first act. The last 30 minutes take place on Earth, and themes of Home and family are present throughout. Quote - The earlier mentioned interspecies racism stuff. Doesn't add up to anything and is never brought up again after the pizzeria scene. It’s cut from the movie. There’s a lot already there thematically and it kind of just took up space. Quote - Keep the Everett stuff because that works, but again Gyllenhaal's whole reason to do so needs to be changed or elaborated on. Again, Taron Killmonger uses the same trick but finds a different reasoning. Quote - Aera's parents come out of nowhere during the third act. They may be saved for Aera Rising TBH. Will probably write just a brief cameo at the beginning and end of the movie. They’re pretty much there for comic relief and not much else. Quote - AlexBot like much of Gyllenhaal's plan serves no real purpose and could've been cut entirely. Kiss AlexBot goodbye. But those gadgets at the expo still get utilized in a different way. Quote - Perthena ultimately doesn't do much either. She gets more to do in this draft and *SPOILER* actually survives the ending. She’ll get an expanded role in the third movie. Quote - Hannah and Tarek are just kinda annoying tbh They’re out of the movie. Quote - Apparently Alex's powers can be easily removed and then inserted into somebody else despite so much of the first movie building up how special Alex is. That's just contrived storytelling. This is a thread that’s going to be revisited in the third and fourth movies, (albeit not necessarily in the way you expect) but there’s going to be a LOT more build up towards it. The second movie doesn’t even touch it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 So now comes the time where I get to cut out certain DuckTales characters because the script gives them nothing to do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillix Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Still working on Silent Hill but I posted a November 8th filler in the meantime inspired by how much I fucking loved The Hurricane Heist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) This weekend and next week my main focus is Bullets and Lyrics. Howling Commandos is are done but I may add something extra if necessary. Also should I consider a more madcap style racing (ie Mario Kart, Sugar Rush from Wreck it Ralph) to give it more of an oomph or fun flavor to Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive.

Ezen Baklattan Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 May put in Justin Theroux in lieu of J.K. Simmons for the minor villain of 2park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YM! Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Welp. So I’m reading The Number One Dime and it’s pretty great so far but now I have to change Howling Commandos third act due to some similarities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler The part where Bouncer turns into a dragon and she fucks up Nepales turning people into zombie like monsters. As for my reason of the change, De Spell and Merlin are both villainous magical users who have turned a minor character into a dragon and citizens into monsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not exactly monstrous zombies, just braindead so they do anything Magica tells them to without objection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
