TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands.
To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.
I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.
I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.
I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all.
Same time as OTL, only this time, there are two less teams, and Donnie is actually doing a lot of investment of his own personal fortune to see it succeed.
It's funny you mention that because I also just recently finished catching up with Berserk. It's so fucking good. What was your favorite Arc? Personally, I think my favorite is Lost Children.
No, we've already begun doing OEL's(Original English Language manga) through Marvel with my Peni Parker Manga pitch. We don't need to make a whole new studio, we just need manga pitches.
Understandable, besides being a despicable Gaijin we have seriously damaged the Japanese anime industry by treating the workers in Sunrise as human beings and giving animators something better to aspire...
They don't want the same to happen in the manga industry, they prefer to keep the mangakas as semi-slave labour
Out of all the crap that Disney has tried to peddle as "new", "innovative", and "made for a modern audience", this movie is perhaps the closest they ever got to truly making something akin to Star Wars (The Mandalorian doesn't count, they got a veteran and a fan in Favreau to do that for them). Rogue One was not a perfect movie, but nonetheless has an intriguing premise, and some great characters that can be better fixed through proper pacing, and perhaps removing the scenes that were there just to subvert expectations.
Aside from that (and a couple more fixes I put below), I did enjoy this film. A bit more characterization and pacing can fix most of the problems, and the re-introduction of Saw Gerrera made it all bearable. Not to mention seeing Vader being badass once more, and the sacrifice of all members of Rogue One as they fight to free the galaxy from the Yoke of the Emperor. I'm not exactly sure if George would be up to directing this, which is why I've put Bruce as the Director, hoping that the magic from directing Empire can be rubbed on this production as well.
Thus, I give you:
Movie Pitch: Star Wars: Rogue One GENRE: Action/Adventure/Thriller SUBGENRE: Science Fiction/Crime/Space Opera
FORMAT: Movie
Set Up: Set in the Star Wars Universe, about a week before A New Hope. All looks lost for the Rebellion against the Empire as they learn of the existence of a new super weapon, the Death Star. Once a possible weakness in its construction is uncovered, the Rebel Alliance must set out on a desperate mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. The future of the entire galaxy now rests upon its success.
Director: Bruce O'Brian Composer: John Williams
- Fix the Pacing issue in the first act by removing Bodhi Rook' introduction and point of view, keeping the changes in scenes (and planets) mostly to Jyn, Cassian and Krennic's points of view during the movie. Bodhi is not introduced until both Jyn and Cassian meet with Saw Gerrera, and they only know what they have been told about him; that he's an Imperial Pilot defector who has information about Jyn's father thus keeping him a mystery; is he a new partner? is he a mole? Can he be trusted? He becomes a point of contention between Jyn and Cassian.
- Build tension around Saw Gerrera and the information that he might have gone off the deep end in order to create conflict around the characters of Jyn and Cassian; Cassian believing that there might be some good in him yet, while Jyn believes that the news must be true, despite him having saved her as a child. It helps in giving information about the characters (Jyn's distrustful nature and Cassian's hope that there must be good in people, as he himself has done bad things in order to help the rebellion) and delivers a shock when meeting Saw (who still looks sane, but then shows his paranoia).
- Remove Bor Gullet's scene, heck remove him from the entire movie. He does not exist and Bodhi is just scared and confused with PTSD, since he was with the Empire for a long time, and is wracked with guilt, second guessing his decisions as Saw Gerrera is incredibly paranoid and put him in jail. He has every right to be unstable when meeting Jyn and Cassian. Have him struggle with the consequences of defecting. There's also internal tension as not many feel he can be trusted as the mission goes on
- Don't have the Rebels think all is over when they learn about the Death Star. The reason they refuse Jyn's mission is that it's too dangerous, and they need to conserve their strength against this new weapon.
- Scrub all mentions and lines about Darth Vader until the scene in the hallway where he massacres the rebels. Remove the scene where he meets Krennic as well. Keep the shock of his appearance.
- Remove Princess Leia saying "Hope", just have her remain silent and move to hide the information of the Death Star immediately.
Jyn Erson: She is the daughter of Galen Erso, who was left behind as her father was forced to help build the Death Star. Found and raised by Saw Gerrera, becoming a child soldier. After being abandoned by the Partisans, Erso spent several years on her own, committing a number of crimes in order to survive in a dangerous galaxy. In 1 BBY, she was recruited by the Rebel Alliance to find Gerrera on Jedha, where he had information about Galen and the Death Star project.
Played By: Helena Bonham Carter Alternate: Marisa Tomei
Cassian Jeron Andor: He is a former revolutionary-averse cynic who after seeing and experiencing first-hand the Empire's cruelty (along with his mother's death9 decided to join the Rebellion to restore the Republic. As an accomplished spy and assassin, Andor was well-respected within the Rebellion and was trusted with leading Alliance Intelligence missions by Alliance High Command. Despite his exposure to the dark underbelly, he still remains hopeful, and devoted to the Rebel Alliance and the principles for which it fights.
Played By: Jonathan Frakes Alternate: John Stamos
Bodhi Rook: He was a cargo pilot for the Galactic Empire prior to the Galactic Civil War. He graduated from the Terrabe Sector Service Academy, and served as a shuttle pilot.

However, he was captured by the Partisans, a different rebel group, who brought him to Jedha for interrogation at the hands of Saw Gerrera, where he remained until he was rescued by Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso.
Played By: Sasson Gabai Alternate: Art Malik
Orson Krennic: He is the Director of the Imperial Military Department of Advanced Weapons Research. Persistent and ambitious, Krennic was responsible for the development and construction of the Empire's enormous Death Star. An old friend of Galen Erso, Krennic manipulated the brilliant scientist into researching synthetic kyber crystals under the pretext of researching sustainable energy. In reality, Krennic weaponized Erso's crystal research for the battle station's planet-killing superlaser, hoping this would place him above his long-time rival Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and win the favor of Emperor Palpatine.
Played By: John Hurt Alternate: Jürgen Prochnow
Galen Erso: He is a scientist and leading galactic authority on crystallography and energy enrichment. He abandoned the Death Star project, but was eventually discovered and forcibly brought back into the fold by his old friend and colleague Orson Krennic, whose death troopers killed Erso's wife, Lyra. Erso was instrumental in the project's completion over the next several years, but he secretly built a hidden weakness into the battle station. Erso enlisted the help of Imperial cargo pilot Bodhi Rook, who eventually got the message to Saw Gerrera.
Played By: Richard Chamberlain Alternate: Rutger Hauer
K-2SO: It is a modified KX-series security droid who served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, despite having been originally created for the Imperial Army. At some point, the droid encountered Cassian Andor, who was able to reprogram K-2SO to serve the Alliance.

Played By: Sho Kosugi Alternate: Jackie Chan
Baze Malbus: He is a freelance assassin, and a former devoted member of the Guardians of the Whills. Nevertheless, he maintained a deep friendship with Chirrut Îmwe, who also served with the Guardians. Following the destruction of Jedha City, Malbus and Îmwe became part of the Rebel group known as Rogue One, consisting of Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, Bodhi Rook, K-2SO, and Chirrut Îmwe. He's had a grudge against Saw Gerrera due to the latter's paranoid and ruthless actions.
Played By: Sonny Chiba Alternate: Donnie Yen
Saw Gerrera: A resistance fighter who, following the rise of the Galactic Empire, became a key member in the fight against the fascist government and the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. His tactics during the early rebellion against the Empire led him to be seen as an extremist, one whose notoriety was recognized by both the Empire and the Alliance. Gerrera fought against the Imperial Military and led a group known as the Partisans using terrorist tactics, eventually cutting ties with Mon Mothma and Bail Organa.
Played By: Ossie Davis Alternate: Yaphet Kotto
Wilhuff Tarkin: A Grand Moff of the Empire. An ambitious, ruthless proponent of military power, Wilhuff Tarkin became a favorite of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and rose rapidly through the Imperial ranks. He was put in charge of the construction of the Death Star by order of the emperor, replacing Orson Krennic after the latter's failure to stop the rebels from taking the plans.
Played By: Peter Cushing

She is the one who receives the plans for the Death Star, and who makes sure to hide them in R2-D2 when she sees they are being chased by an Imperial Cruiser.
Played By: Carrie Fisher
Mon Mothma: She is a leader of the Galactic Senate's Loyalist faction, Mon Mothma opposed Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's policies during the final days of the Repulic. Working in secret, she helped found the Rebel Alliance, and served as its civilian leader during the long struggle against the Empire.
Played By: Caroline Blakiston
A.N.: I've put some of the things I think can improve it, but nonetheless I'm willing to hear other opinions so you can tell me what else could be done to make it better. I envision this movie being made after the Andor TV Series so as to take advantage of the promotion of Cassian Andor, and hopefully making this more of an ensemble film rather than "Jyn Erso and Friends". I will not be making any pitches for "Solo" as I find that film to be an abomination to Han's character. Though perhaps I might be inclined in trying to make some of the other TV Shows...though heavily modified of course.
Django unchained
Genre:Action
Subgenre:Revisionist Western
Format:Live action film
In 1858 Texas, brothers Ace and Dicky Speck drive a group of shackled black slaves on foot. Among them is Django, sold off and separated from his wife Broomhilda von Shaft, a house slave who speaks German and English. They are stopped by Dr. King Schultz, a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter seeking to buy Django for his knowledge of the three outlaw Brittle brothers, overseers at the plantation of Django's previous owner and for whom Schultz has a warrant. When Ace refuses to sell Django to Schultz and threatens him at gunpoint, Schultz kills him and shoots Dicky's horse in order to pin him to the ground; he advises the freed slaves to take the opportunity for revenge, which they do by shooting him. Schultz offers Django his freedom and $75 in exchange for help tracking down the Brittles.
Django and Schultz kill the Brittle brothers at Spencer "Big Daddy" Bennett's Tennessee plantation. In turn, Bennett pursues them with an armed posse. Schultz ambushes the posse with explosives and Django kills Bennett. Feeling responsible for Django, Schultz agrees to help him find and rescue Broomhilda, and Schultz trains Django to become a bounty hunter. They return to Texas where Django collects his first bounty, keeping the handbill as a memento and for good luck. He and Schultz rack up several bounties before spring when they travel to Mississippi and learn that Broomhilda's new owner is a member of the American gentry Calvin J. Candie, the charming but cruel owner of the "Candyland" plantation, where male slaves are forced to wrestle to the death in brutal "Mandingo" fights.
Schultz and Django hatch a plan: deciding that Candie will refuse to sell Broomhilda if they try to buy her upfront, they will instead offer $12,000 (equivalent to $423,000 in 2023) for one of his best fighters as a pretext to acquiring Broomhilda for a nominal sum. Their intent is to leave the plantation with Broomhilda under the pretense of returning with the purchase money for a fighter. They meet Candie at his gentlemen's club and make the offer. Intrigued, Candie invites them to Candyland. En route, the group encounters Candie's slave trackers who have cornered D'Artagnan, an escapee Mandingo fighter. Django is forced to intervene when Schultz attempts to buy D'Artagnan on the spot to save him. Candie has the trackers' guard dogs maul D'Artagnan to death, visibly upsetting Schultz.
Having told Broomhilda of their plan, Schultz offers to buy her as his escort while negotiating the initial Mandingo deal during dinner. Candie's staunchly loyal and suspicious head house slave Stephen realizes that Broomhilda knows Django, deduces their plan, and alerts Candie. Enraged, Candie alters the deal at gunpoint to sell Broomhilda for $12,000 instead of the fighter; Schultz reluctantly agrees. During the sale's finalization, Candie threatens to kill Broomhilda if Schultz does not shake his hand to seal the deal. Having had enough of Candie's arrogance, Schultz impulsively shoots and kills Candie. Butch Pooch, Candie's bodyguard, kills Schultz, and Django kills Pooch, Candie's lawyer Leonide Moguy, and many of Candie's henchmen in a prolonged gunfight, but is forced to surrender when Broomhilda is taken hostage.
The next morning, the chained Django is tortured and about to be castrated by overseer Billy Crash when Stephen arrives, informing him that Candie's sister Lara, who has taken charge of the plantation, has ordered him to be sold to a mining company and worked to death. En route there along with other slaves, Django devises an escape plan and uses his first handbill to prove to his escorts that he is a bounty hunter. He falsely says that the men on the handbill from his first bounty are at Candyland, and promises the escorts a share of the reward money. Once released and handed a gun, Django immediately kills his escorts, retrieves his clothes and weapons, and returns to Candyland with dynamite.
Recovering Broomhilda's freedom papers from Schultz's corpse, Django bids his deceased mentor goodbye and avenges him and D'Artagnan by killing the trackers. He then frees Broomhilda just as Candie's mourners return from his burial. At the mansion, Django kills Lara, Crash, and the remaining henchmen, releases the two remaining house slaves, and kneecaps Stephen before igniting the dynamite he had planted throughout the mansion. Django and Broomhilda watch from a distance as the mansion explodes before riding off together.
A great movie that corect some big cliché from western movie,a litle kick in the southerner jerks,and potentialy a job for clint
esdit:
We can still bring modif to a plot when we do the movie/select the movies for the year plan right ?
We haven't been able to do that since the first Star Wars production IIRC. So far, it seems to have morphed into needing to have the changed plot included in the pitch, or for the plot to be modified during it's Sidestory update.

Same time as OTL, only this time, there are two less teams, and Donnie is actually doing a lot of investment of his own personal fortune to see it succeed.
From what I've read, it seems like this means that the Boston Breakers and Arizona Wranglers will likely be erased from existence due to real estate troubles making them not worth operating.
From what I've read, it seems like the failings of the USFL were in lack of discipline, and heavily poor financials in that you got a bunch of owners who spent like crazy with little plans for profitability, and no one stuck to Dixon's rules such as the salary cap. Not to mention the constant moving of teams preventing the creation of a loyal fanbase. Hopefully Carrie can keep them in line, and if the owners are whiny about money, maybe she can give loans to calm them down. I guess as the league's only billionaire, Carrie's going to have a lot of hard power.
Well hopefully by then Carrie's got enough business experience and prestige to be able to shut Sterling down and prevent him from moving to LA, or at the very least enforce the NBA's rulings and give him the mega fines or force him out of ownership. LA's gotta stay Laker country and the Clippers nowaday being a top class team isn't worth the previous 35 years of misery.
Uh, yeah we did. We changed the scenes with Han and Leia, removed most of the chase and the giant worm, and had longer scenes in Cloud City, showing a more lived in area, as well as a chase/fight with the mercenaries and Boba Fett.

As for Bruce... He is widely considered one of the best long swordsmen and Melee fighters in America, despite only having basic training. And the Melees that he has organized have been seen and watched by a lot of people thanks to the melee being broadcasted and recorded.
"I am the Anvil on which War is Forged; now prepare to meet the Hammer, you craven scum!"
That was how it all began, a war cry heard by a thousand upon thousand souls, as the Grandmaster Goose O'Brian waded through the melee like a fallen and wrathful god, a war cry heard by all who witnessed the live broadcast of the Grand Melee. More than a few souls who witnessed this massacre claimed that it was a shame that the man had never seen a live theatre, that he had the presence of the Archangel Michael made flesh, of the dread god Ares made reborn, of Lugh's ephemeral light cast once more, and that such a man would have altered the course of many a war. Some took his claim, that it was not shameful to never have taken a life, a moment of humbleness from the man who could have been more and, as such, made him all the more deserving of such accolades, and others merely saw the moment, the warcry, for what it was: a moment of fancy taken by a man having fun doing the things he loved.
But what Rick Prestley saw that day was something...inspirational.
With the aid of his co-workers and friends at Games Workshop, Bryan Ansell and Richard Halliwell, they once more began refining their work, their war game. While the majority of it was as of yet still in its infancy, these words lay the groundwork for the man who would be Sigmar, as they once more added to the composite to the proposed character from their early drafts, as they once had for Conan. Additionally, as the popularity of HEMA exploded across the Isles and the wider Continent, it too redefined and refined many of their proposed game's mechanics.
But for the moment, all of that hard work did not matter in the slightest, because it was all in the name of having the most amount of fun...and fun it was. A/N: With Warhammer Fantasy set to be released in two years, I figure they were already in the process of working on the game when video of the melee dropped; figure it led to more than a couple of revisions as a result, so I decided Bruce having fun with it has a slightly different impact on the future than he was expecting.

I remember watching this show in my teens, and what struck me first was the animation...and how much I hated it! The designs were just like that other show called Æon Flux, which I hated with a passion. it was not until much later on, when I finally had some free time and nothing else was on the TV when I decided to give it a watch to waste some time. I have to admit, the entire premise and story won me over the design aesthetics, and an excellent voice cast did the rest to win me over. I watched the show religiously then, and was sucked into one of the most cleverly well written stories that I've ever seen. The plot follows organically, the mystery keeps you at the edge of your seat, and it never feels like they're talking down to you.
It respects your intelligence is what I'm saying.
If there's anything that needs to be changing, well, there are a couple of things; number one, the pacing. Every second of the show is used, never giving much time to let it breathe, as if afraid that if they don't put this here then it won't appear again. By the same problem, it tends to go a bit too fast, not giving enough time for plotlines or character progression to feel earned. The second it's the animation. I believe I have already explained how much I dislike the Æon Flux style, and I hope we don't imitate it nor create it. A mix of western/easter animation would be for the best, but not that one.
Aside from that, I believe this can be an excellent show to premiere in our new channel, what with it being a cyberpunk theme story involving one of the first heroes, and one of the earliest inspirations at that.
Set Up: Loosely based on the comic strip superhero The Phantom, created by Lee Falk. For 24 generations the Phantom has been a mystical figure who protects the jungles of Africa with the help of the Bantu tribe. In reality, he is a family of superheroes, each passing on the mantle and responsibility of being the Phantom to their son, making it seem as if there was one Phantom who had lived for centuries. Now, in 2040, the Phantom has moved to a new jungle - Metropia, one of the surviving homes of mankind after the resource wars. The 24th Phantom is Kit Walker, and he continues the Phantom's legacy in the struggle against Maximum Inc., a mega-corporation determined to salvage a small part of the world even if they must destroy the rest to do it. At the same time, the new Phantom must deal with other challenges, including the terrorists of the free orbital movement, the mystery of his father's death, various rogue agents with their own agendas, and Sagan Cruz - his girlfriend who is part of a special police unit charged with hunting down his alter ego.
Kit Walker Jr./The 24th Phantom: He is the 24th Phantom. Kit was not trained for the role like his ancestors were, with his father dying under mysterious circumstances when he was only a baby, and thus he grew up not knowing about his heritage.

A.N.: We might need to speak with Lee Falk in order to get his permission, though at that I'm not that sure since the book and comic strip should be Public Domain. Even so, I think we should at the very least show him what we're doing and if only to get his blessing. Also, i've put it so that this series has a 52 episode run, since the original's 35 seemed a bit too short. Hopefully, this will allow for the arcs to have more time to breathe and for the characters to properly develop without any rush.
