Because I don't think they are I don’t think they are either, and I apologize if it came off that way. One way I tried to curb this was in having it be clear by the end that Gem wasn’t truly gone. I don’t think Meg accurately believed that she could be magically cured, but in seeking professional support and building a support net with Anne and Tyler, she had a better way of coping with her depression and anxiety. It’ll still be a bumpy road, (especially with the job not yet acquired), but Meg has a stronger sense of where to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that line could've been phrased better in a way that didn't give a conflicting impression 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Was that line in the original draft? Must have forgotten it and then missed it in my re-read (where I was more looking for what was different than the overall picture). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember mentioning being bothered by a specific line in the discussion thread but not being able to go back through and find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I liked both drafts equally but the newest one is the most through and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yeah the line was in the first draft, I think. I tried to find any lines that seemed a bit wrong but must have glossed over it. In the context of the scene, I think I might have interepreted it as Meg trying to help her mother not worry about her, but the line can still be misread.

I think the film just read better to me the second time through more than anything else They were far less extensive than the changes 2park went through. I added a bit more Tyler in the second half and tweaked a few lines but it was pretty identical to the initial version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Hunt Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 August (part 2)/ September (Part 1) The Howling- Opening sequence is cool. Stalker dude triggering the plot seems a little strange. Main bit of the movie is mostly exciting.- B+ Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad- Well this isn’t funny or interesting- D SWAT Kats 2: The Viper Strikes- I remember mildly enjoying the The Radical Squadron, so I was interested going into this one… what do we get? Monster plants? Okay. A coat that allows you to travel through the web or something like that? Sure. Sounds radical enough I suppose- B- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
