    • Rumors​
    Well, according to what you saw on the Internet, the public that is not a fan of comics were very surprised by the fact that shoker in comics is very different and has nothing to do with the one you created ... and related to that you heard rumors that they plan to create a character that follows a similar archetype for thousands of morals.

    And you have two exciting news ... although both are not at all official and do not go beyond rumors, they still present great opportunities if they turn out to be true

    the first and not so exciting is that rumor has it that Kevin Feige is trying to convince his superiors to sometime connect the ucm and the spider-verse ... sony-verse? .. they really need to give it a name ... or the fans, still no agreement was reached on what to call it ...

    Anyway, it is nothing official and the negotiations have not even begun, but there is an opportunity in some future to be able to connect the universes and benefit from both.

    And on the other hand and what excites you the most is that there are rumors that if both the ucm and your universe become more famous and bring even more fans, there is the possibility that they will begin to make comics that expand what happened between films and serve as introducing more people to comics ..

    These are all rumors, but you are sure that if you do your part, they can stop being rumors and become something else ..

    although first you would have to think if it is worth it and how to convince your superiors

    Now, does anybody have any Director Ideas for the Iron Fist movie? Or maybe some casting ideas? If so, put them in the thread, or the discord.

    Jackie Chan, the man has directed a number of movies and knows the artform forward and back having largely defined it since he started back in 1962 (child actor).
     
    Terentino knows his genre, and could mix New York Noir with Hong Kong Action like no one else.

    Justin Lin from the Fast and Furious films can do over the top action with energy and style.

    For the next acquisition's vote, I'd like to start making moves towards acquiring Fantastic Four, before the atrocity that is Fan4stic is born, X-Men, to help with plotting out the longterm worldbuilding of our franchise, and either Punisher, since the aftermath of the Ray Sphere Explosion could help with setting up the gang war that's the inciting incident of his backstory, or Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, on account that it nets us one of the last holdouts of spider-themed heroes to bring under our wing [not to mention her characterization in Ultimates makes for an interesting deviation for Clone Saga].

    That said, X-Men and Jessica Drew can probably wait a turn or two, X-Men so that we can use Days of Future Past as a soft reboot for not only their franchise but use it as instory justification for why Tobey's not around this time round [and gives us time for inFamous to breathe and stand on its own merits], and Jessica in a potential deal with Marvel [assuming Civil War occurs like OTL].

    "The" is capitalized, and MCU not UCM.

    Orion Ultor's Omake: Walk A Day In Their Shoes.
  • Sidestory
    • Walk A Day In Their Shoes
    ​
    It had started with whispers, as they tend to do, that the production teams on the Sony films were run like a tight ship and with, barring any [actual] accidents or workplace drama, near perfect efficiency.

    This sent ripples through the industrial underground, as by word of mouth the idea spread that their film studio was the safest in Hollywood, in terms of harassment [sexual and otherwise], safety procedures and SFX production; as workers began to slowly make the trek towards all Sony owned studios in hopes of better working conditions, they realized two truths, that A) by joining, they were now required to work in an almost Japanese-like fashion, increasing the number of burnt-out workers by half (there was talk of the Guild getting involved over this, but the increased pay kept at just talk...for the moment), and B) that if people could get this kind of fair treatment here, then they deserved it all around.

    Suddenly, word began passing throughout the underground for fair treatment and almost simultaneously, the dominoes began to fall as whistle-blowers began speaking out in earnest over unsafe working conditions, resulting in a harsh crackdown on negligence regarding firearms, prop and otherwise, as now even the actors could recite the weapon safety rules from memory alone, and men and women of all walks of life reported the hazing and harassment (sexual and otherwise) they'd experienced at the hands of their superiors.

    What had started as a whisper in August of 2012, had become a full blown national discussion by December, with numerous men and women suddenly caught up in various legal cases that, while they wouldn't be resolved for years at best, had resulted in the complete and total destruction of numerous careers, among them Kevin Spacey, Bryan Singer, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Amber Heard, Lori Loughlin, and many more besides.

    It was in the aftermath of all this, as everyone in Hollywood began cleaning house, that Sony found itself mostly intact...and Terry Tillman with more than a few enemies from what few friends the accused had left behind, seen by many of them to be the catalyst for this change, not at all helped by Gal Gadot's testimony to the character of him and the studio at large [under his leadership] during the lead up to her film, Black Cat.

    [EDIT: A/N: Largely made as a response to all the shit that's happened in the last decade, I wrote this largely because I hope our actions in-Quest have lead to a better world for all, if in some small ways.]

    52- Iron Fist Director and Other Stuff.
  • Threadmarks
    • [X] No, don't reroll the script.

    You had decided not to get a new script, so now... it was time to find a director for the movie. Hopefully, you had some people interested.

    Director Interest: 81.

    There were quite a few directors who were interested in helming the project, so that was good.

    Who do you want as the Director of Iron Fist?

    [] Steven Soderbergh had come in, wanting to direct this movie.
    [] Zack Snyder had come in, wanting to create a broody and dark movie.
    [] Jackie Chan himself had come in, wanting to direct the movie, surprisingly enough. He wanted to make it... just a fun martial arts movie.
    [] Justin Lin had come in, wanting to make some action-packed fun.
    [] Write-in:

    After that, you decided to get some other work done at the same time. It was best to be efficient, after all.

    You can do up to 3 things before you get to do casting for Iron Fist.

    [] Network in Hollywood for Directors (Roll)
    [] Network in Hollywood for a specific Director (Roll)
    -[] Write-in:
    [] Network in Hollywood for Actors (Roll)
    [] Network in Hollywood for a specific Actor (Roll)
    -[] Write In:
    [] Network with Avi Arad. (Roll)
    [] Convince Sony to negotiate with the studios (Marvel, Fox, and Universal) for the rights of a character. (Roll)
    -[] Marvel has a vast majority of the characters, maybe you could try to get one? (Medium Roll) Write-in:
    -[] FOX has the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Maybe you could get a character from them? (High Roll) Write-in:
    -[] Universal still has the rights to Namor and The Hulk, at least in their own movies... maybe you could get the rights to them? They might be willing to, just to spite Disney. (Medium Roll) Write-in:
    [] Try to get the rights to some other property (Roll)
    -[] Ben 10 seems to be quite the success, maybe you could get the live-action rights to it? (Medium Roll)
    -[] Mortal Kombat has quite a lot of potential with their characters. Sure, they've recently been bought out by Warner Bros, but maybe you could try to get some character rights? (High Roll)
    -[] Maybe you could get Danny Phantom from Nickelodeon? It's a bit of a reach, but you might be able to manage it. (Medium Roll)
    -[] The Venture Bros have some interesting ideas for superheroes and villains, and you were honestly quite a big fan of the show. Maybe you could get the live-action rights to them? Adult Swim doesn't seem to have anything lined up for any live-action adaptations, so you could probably get it pretty easily. (Low Roll)
    -[] GI Joe is a big franchise, and if you somehow managed to get it? You'd be able to get your own version of SHIELD, alongside a bunch of other fun characters. Though, they may take away from the Spider-Man limelight. (High Roll)
    -[] Dick Tracy was a pretty famous comic strip in the past... maybe you could do something with that? The director of the '90s movie, a man named Warren Beatty owns the rights. Maybe you could strike a deal with him for them? (Medium Roll)
    -[] Gargoyles was an amazing show back in the '90s... sure, it'd be hard to get the rights to them... but you wanted David Xanathos, damn it! (High Roll)
    -[] Maybe you could try to talk to Robert Kirkman into selling the live-action rights to Invincible over to you? (High Roll)
    -[] Spawn was immensely popular in the '90s... and he still is. Maybe you could talk to Todd McFarlane about getting the live-action rights to it? (High Roll)
    -[] There's this new book that came out online, it's called... Worm. It's not finished yet, but it's certainly interesting. Maybe you could get the rights to it? (Medium Roll)
    -[] Dresden Files could add some extra, much-needed Magical stuff to the setting. Though, it would fit better for a TV Series. (Medium Roll)
    -[] Maybe you could try to buy out the rights to Percy Jackson from FOX. It could definitely be an interesting setting to use. (High Roll)
    -[] Maybe you could try to get the live-action rights to Wanted? It was a good comic, and deserved more than the Wanted-in-name-only movie it got. (Medium Roll)
    [] Participate in interviews and events in order to hype future movies. (Roll)
    [] Work on what to do for the next movie.
    [] Maybe see about potentially adapting some Sony properties for integration into the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe?
    -[] God of War could be your own way to add Gods to your Cinematic Universe.
    [] Investigate a bit, see what your competition is up to (Roll)
    -[] Marvel.
    -[] Fox.
    -[] Warner Studios.
    [] Promote a character for one of the upcoming movies.
    [] See about getting a new Spider-Man videogame made, The Amazing Spider-Man Game was an amazing success, so why not?
    -[] Write-in your game idea:
    ______

    Alright, please make a plan for your votes!

    After this, we're getting to casting.

    So, any casting ideas? Post them in the thread, or the discord!

    My votes for Jackie Chan for director, primarily from the position the man knows the craft inside and out and the world can stand a few real more fun movies that revolve around martial arts; as for character picks, I want Punisher since the aftermath of inFamous' Ray Sphere Explosion slots real well with his origin story, Fantastic Four to prevent the rise of Fan4stic, and X-Men to complement and round out our current roster.

    Together, all of this should help us with our longterm worldbuilding, and also nets us the potential to portray all the Fox Movies [and even inQuest Thor] as events that occured in the prior timeline [EDIT: if we decide to start X-Men off with Days of Future Past...can we get a Tobey cameo in the background if this wins?].

    [] Zack Snyder had come in, wanting to create a broody and dark movie.
    Hell no, who would want to hire Snyder for any movie adaptation, his "vision of the comics" is just pointless angst and misery.
     
    Alright, I already mentioned this in the discord, but some of you aren't there, so...

    The only way you're going to get the entire roster of X-Men or Fantastic Four is through a crit.

    Anything else will give you a few characters of your choice, the quality of these characters is dependant on your roll.

    If you roll the lowest roll that still counts? You get a single low-quality character (Think... Maggot, or Fasaud)
     
    I don't know about the others, but even if we don't roll high enough to get everybody we wanted, I'm still willing to go all in on the chance that whatever we can get will help our worldbuilding.

    That it has the potential to completely derail Fan4stic is a nice bonus, however.
    If Reed and co. are all we get [we've already won] we have plenty of opportunities for Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four to cross paths, from the Venom arc to Spider-Man and his Amazing friends, or even potential employment opportunities in the Baxter Building. In addition, since their powers correlate to the elements [Fire- Johnny, one could say they utilize abnormal Conduit

    If Dr. Doom is all we can get our hands on, his story meshes really well with Ghost Rider's [Mephisto taking his mother's soul] and Iron Fist's [mystical monk training], not to mention Silver Sable's revolution [he's the dictator she must face].

    Galactus is pretty much an End Boss...pretty good way to end a franchise if there's nowhere else to go.

    The Beyonder nets us Secret Wars, which pretty much gives us the canonical route for acquiring Venom.

    X-Men First Class (Classic): Plenty of stories here to mine about being other, especially their early stories. Scott provides us with storylines of adapting to familial trauma and the journey to overcome them, Jean comes with storylines of overcoming personal trauma and how to survive with an abuser (if you wanted to take it that route), Bobby's come out of the closet in recent years, giving us the chance to explore the first openly gay superhero on the big screen [not to mention Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, one of Peter's roommates and best friends?], Beast with storylines of struggling with one's identity and coming to terms with oneself, and Angel about rising above his position, his family legacy to grow into his own.

    Wolverine: While the first super soldier in 616 was John Steele, Ultimates and Wolverine Origins (at least, the opening) establishes him firmly in that category instead, so there's potential there to have him be the source of the genetic arms race towards a viable super soldier, connecting him to the wider Spider-Man mythos through that alone.[..could tie it into Adriana Soria, her being the first female super soldier and the Spider-Queen besides.] Doesn't hurt that, due to his age, he's been everywhere and done everything, not to mention the fact he was friends with Peter's parents in 616, and the first to congratulate them on Peter, is one of Peter's good friends and stays civil in Aunt May's presence.

    Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver: The iconic twin duo, they've faced and seen a lot of shit, and way too may impressive deeds to list out, they're a potential goldmine in regards to Wanda's abilities alone, anywhere from her being an impressive ally for Silver Sable to having our own version of M-Day [soft-reboot potential] that (could) connect us to the rest of Marvel; if we manage Dr. Doom as well, there's narrative potential having Wanda take Valeria's place as his first friend and first love, where she stays by his side as he suffers after the loss of his mother to Mephisto, learning the same arcane arts as he.

    Mr. Sinister: A master of genetic manipulation, there's a lot of potential here come Clone Saga, such as Miles Warren being an alias he goes under during this time period. However, and I need to reiterate this because even the writers have forgotten/overlooked/tried to retcon this key detail, the man joined the Nazis and was fundamentally in charge of Auschwitz...among other things, this means his story and Swarm's are connected.

    Madelyne Pryor: The Goblin Queen was never been connected to the Osbournes and their own Goblinhood despite all the storylines lining up near perfect to allow it to happen: pact with a demon, Goblin identity, clone, I could go on. Not to mention, there's a lot of narrative potential here for her to be our Mary Jane.

    Magik: Mephisto's Realm becomes Limbo, with Magik becoming our version of Dr. Strange, the key to defeating Mephisto in her palm. Could tie her into Mephisto's canonical fear of Spidey, playing with the idea that it matters not if Peter or his descendants defeat the demon, but rather the life of somebody they've saved.

    Shadowcat: What started off as the X-Men's little sister has grown into an impressive character in their own right, from computer genius and guerrilla warfare expert to an intergalactic bounty hunter [stint as Star Lord] and Red Queen during her time at the Hellfire Club; while pairing her with Peter (ala Ultimates) is unlikely in this scenario, there's always the chance Ben or Jessica (she's canonically bi) joins up with her. And I don't know about you, but I kinda want to see Space-Pirate Queen Pryde at the helm of her own ship, a spidey-clone as her lieutenant, sallying ho and to space away we go! [Think of the Space Shanties space-Spidey will belt out.]

    Rogue: There's a great many number of storylines, from her southern charm (inFamous Season 2: New Orleans?] to struggling with embracing an unexpected identity, not to mention her Survivor's Guilt over what's essentially either Aggravated Assault (unintentional) or Manslaughter.

    Deadpool: Spidey's number one fan, the merc with a mouth is honestly the action/horror-comedy we've all been waiting for.

    ForgetMeNot: A horror movie from his perspective, where nothing he does will ever matter because nobody will ever remember his deeds...and yet, throughout the movie, the man grows into one of the most optimistic people in the setting, his very deeds becoming every Deus Ex Machina that our franchise has ever had.
     
    Btw what do people think about Peter getting a symbiote after venom. Maybe like after seeing venom and Eddie co-operation to destroy him, he would try teach The symbiote he got to be good??.
