WARNING THIS IS MADE UP. Maybe to warning is a bit much. I do enjoy the movies.
Me: Thanks for seeing, I've been working on this Moon Knight script and I think it has a chance to be something special.
Disney: No problem. Well lets get started.
Me: Well Moon Knight is a pretty serious character. I know Marvel has a history with making everyone have "witty" one liners but I don't think that should be him. With him having to deal with the Egyptian god of vengeance and all.
Disney: We can't do that. We focus on being neutral with religions here.
Me: What about Thor?
Disney: Alien. We are sensitive enough to not prove anyone religion right.
Me: But not sensitive enough to just wave off a whole religion cause people aren't smart enough to know the difference between the two.
*Awkward silence*
Me: I can work around that. Well he has a buddy name Frenchie that is his pilot. Withe him I thought we could throw in some LBGT rights. Make him fight some Neo-Nazi or something. It would be great and we wouldn't tip toe around it like X-Ma
Disney: Again no. We can't have that in a movie. It's one thing to threaten Georgia trying to pass the law. People don't want deep thoughts and controversy. We want has many people to enjoy this has possible.
Me: Can he still be in it.
Disney: Yea, enough people don't know who he is. He should be killed off still, our studies show people love that stuff.
Me: He doesn't in my script. That's a lot of work I would have redo.
Disney: If he's likable he can come back. They all come back.
Me: People have to know it would be meaniless if he comes back.
Disney: They won't care. Loki has died multiple times, Winter soldier and Captain America in his first outing. Agent Coulson is back. Killed Tony for a hot minute and Pepper Potts was thought to have died too. Groot even had is death moment. Death at Disney doesn't happen unless you're a parent. I guess Quicksilver is dead, but who knows if he'll be in our next one.
Me: People really don't care?
Disney: Almost grossed 8 billion baby.
*Awkward Silence*
Disney: So who's the bad guy?
Me: It won't be Crossfire or Bushman because you guys have done the whole partner betraying them before. So I went with werewolves and vampire. With the call back to his first appearance we could add Blade if this works out to another one.
Disney: We do like throwing more people in on sequels but, we don't think he could carry half a film. I mean it took like 10 other heroes for us to even think about Black Panther and even then he's not the "cool" new guy. The only reason we allowed Falcon was because we don't have the rights the the other guys. I do like the partner betraying him though.
Me: You've done it with Loki and Thor, Winter Soldier and Captain America. Whatever the hell Redford character name was to Nick Fury. Half of Shield themselves were traitors. Ultron himself was a traitor on the inventor. I'm sure I forgot some.
Disney: The first one. Once Stane did it to Toni, we had our formula. Loki whole thing is he was betrayed by his father.
Me: I don't think my script will work here.
Disney: It will, we will hire a great director and take away his free will. Get the same people to fix the script we like and then it would break 600 Million without even trying. We know what will sell. We want money, not an Academy Award. This is your new script. Your guy is complex like Captain. We will hint about PTSD for 10 seconds at a gym then make him have a give a caring stoic line. After that mostly one liners. People won't care. We took away Thor over the top battle cries, but we'll make you laugh at a coffee joke. Banner should be the most complex character but be calmed by a poem. As long as he has a get's a cool line like " I'm always angry" and people just will take it in. They won't even have to finish the climatic battle. There's no fighting until the end we will Deux ex Machina that bit. Maybe you gotta place three things to stop the ultimate weapon, a staff can close a portal that kills an army, suit malfunction, or hell we can make people dance then hold hands. We're Disney we don't give a damn.
Me: I'm leaving this is to much.
Disney: We've only done three alien invasion. You want that?
Me: Go away...
Disney: Tell anyone and we'll sue. We did it to a day care and won. You have no chance!
This was to point out that a lot of the Disney Marvel movies are starting to recycle themselves. Sooooo skip reading the comment section if you're having a good day. I'll try writing more and try not having such a fire strarter article. Later
