[X] Plan Can We Fix It?
-[X] Have Zeke get shot in the leg early on in the show, so Haley can stay in the wheelchair for the rest of filming.
-[X] Change the materials for the Human Fly prosthetics. It'll take a bit of time, but you want to keep your actors safe on set.
-[X] Zeke Dunbar (Haley Joel Osmund) Screen Presence: 17.
-[X] Richard Deacon/Human Fly (Robert Sheehan) Screen Presence: 25.
-[X] Sound Design: 61.

You had decided that Zeke was going to get shot in the leg early on in the show, by Hank Daughtry. Which is what starts Cole's hunt for the man.
Zeke, in the meanwhile, will spend the rest of the season in a wheelchair.
Zeke Dunbar (Haley Joel Osmund) Screen Presence: 103.
Haley's performance was definitely a lot better, when you'd made the decision to allow him to stay in his wheelchair.
Now, onto Robert's problem... the effects team had spent a few days working on the new Human Fly prosthetics, making sure not to put in... whatever ingredient Robert was allergic to.
And, well... it looked really good. In fact, it looked a lot better than the original prosthetics.
Richard Deacon/Human Fly (Robert Sheehan) Screen Presence: 94.
And the fact that Robert wasn't literally dying in the prosthetics, definitely made his performance a lot better.
Despite his monstrous appearance, Richard Deacon was an... honestly, good person, having used his Adhesive Conduit powers, that allowed him to both stick to walls, and fire off globs of an incredibly adhesive substance to both help people, and trap criminals.
He was a massive fan of the local hero, Spider-Man, after all. But now, as The Human Fly, he has gained an enhanced body, and a few more... fly-like abilities.
Sound Design: 89.
And finally, the sound was just... a lot better. Not much to really talk about there.
Now, it was time for the show to be released on Netflix. Hopefully, it did well.

Alright, not gonna do another update today, because I'm going to be focusing on something else.
And updates will either just... not be a thing, or be incredibly sporadic, due to me going on a four-day holiday, starting tomorrow. I'm so excited!

The second season of the show had released on the 9th of May, 2015.
Quite a few of the critics had, for some reason, absolutely panned the show.
Some of them stated that the plot was boring, the effects bad, and they especially hated Rosario Dawson's performance as Claire Temple within the show.
All of these were completely baseless criticisms, which other critics and the fans noticed, causing those critics to be criticized in turn.
Someone had even looked into past dealings from the critics, and revealed that they were all getting a suspiciously large sum of money for every bad review, in the form of... donations.
Definitely something to look out for.
The audiences had honestly loved the show, there were of course some people who didn't like it. But that's their opinion... no matter how wrong it is.
But now... you had to look at the results.
Domestic Netflix Results: 63,000,000.
International Netflix Results: 31,245,000.
Merchandise: $325,500,000.
Total Views: 94,245,000.
Production Budget: $150,000,000.
Amount Made: $325,500,000/???.

The show had a hell of a lot more viewers for the second season, which was somewhat surprising for you.
Well, at the very least the merchandise itself had made more money than the show itself cost.
The shows action figures and collectables had sold exorbitantly well.
Hell, the Nix and Casey Jones figures were some of the highest sellers, after Cole MacGrath, Sasha, a re-release of the Kessler one, and the Luke Cage and Spider-Man figures, of course. But the Nix and Casey Jones figures were surprising dark horses, when it came to the figures.
But now... it was time to get on production for the Uncharted movie.

I need some ideas on how to expand upon the Uncharted Pitch. Any ideas?
Plot Expansions and Changes, or Character Suggestions are completely fine.
My bet is that Disney is angry at us and is trying to knock us down a peg. This could be a massive controversy in the making with the Critics. We might have to investigate this if some unsavory characters are trying to take us down with questionable means.

Well, does that mean we should embark on a questionable quest? No matter how big Disney is, we just need to hit 'em with a lawsuit at sufficient velocity. There's not enough space around for the two of us, so we need to battle it out in the courts.

When it comes to the Uncharted pitch, i personally cant think of anything to add or change
Maybe near the end drop hints that magic is once again on the rise after a long down period, and/or hints as to the cause of the downturn magic took in the form of a certain pale spartan?
Maybe near the end drop hints that magic is once again on the rise after a long down period, and/or hints as to the cause of the downturn magic took in the form of a certain pale spartan?
We could have Drake and his crew do something in Camelot that breaks whatever is restraining magic. Since they are in the Feyland, that could be easy to arrange.
Alternately, have Dr. Doom get involved in spreading magic as a way to give himself and Latveria an advantage over most other factions.
We can also have it revealed that whatever magic masquerade is failing because there are fewer people to maintain it and it was going to be inevitable anyway, only it has been accelerated by various outside factors.
Maybe even have all three of the above happening at the same time just to make this a complete trainwreck that would be awesome to watch.
I don't know much about the lore in the Dresden verse or several other properties that Sony currently owns. Is it possible that something from all our media could potentially lead to an outbreak of magic if exposed? Like a magic artifact or organization breaking apart?

Any ideas for characters to appear in the movie?
This is what I've got so far, in terms of options. Any ideas?:
Pietro Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch's own brother could get at least a few mentions in the movie.
Maybe you can have Sablinova's Mercenaries be a few other named characters, who haven't been seen in the SCU so far, and probably wouldn't appear in it. (Who? And remember, all who are chosen will be killed off by The Scarlet Witch)
- Banjo, in the comics he's a hillbilly with super strength... maybe you can make him into a lovable southern mercenary?
- Manslaughter Marsdale, a fairly generic villain in the comics. He could be a ruthless mercenary, only trying to finish the mission.
- Styx, also known as Jacob Eichorn is a simple mercenary, only in it for the money.
- Stone, Gerard Stone is Styx's partner, and best friend. Supporting his friend in his job.
- Will o' The Wisp, also known as Dr. Jackson Arvad could be a Conduit mercenary, just in it for the money.
- Thumper, a French woman with a chip on her shoulder, she's an excellent hand-to-hand combatant... sadly, that didn't come in handy, when she went against The Scarlet Witch.
- The Wall, also known as Joshua Waldemeyer, is a massive mercenary, exemplifying his name of 'The Wall', by his sheer size and musculature. He's a fairly angry man, but decent enough to Nathan and his crew.
- Don Thomas' Blue Streak, an utterly forgettable Captain America villain in the comics... you don't see a use for him in the SCU, so why not have him killed off by The Scarlet Witch?
Chloe Frazer, a fellow treasure hunter. She could have been hired alongside Nathan Drake, and would make for a good foil to him in the movie.
Jackson Wheele could be a friend of Nathan Drake's, helping him in his research.

I just don't want to end up with casting bloat so having two or three on the mercenary list might be for the best. We already have a large cast as it is, so we really need to be careful about juggling too many characters. Since this is a movie and not a TV series, we only got a few hours to work with compared to the latter. Unless you want to risk having a three or four-hour movie, which could scare a lot of people off unless we decide to make it a two-parter. Which would hopefully be better than the last two Harry Potter movies (Which funny enough, there were plans on having the Goblet of Fire be a two-parter given all its content, instead of the rushed job it was).
The problem is... I have absolutely no idea who to pick. Depends on how disposable the characters could be and if they should only be in a single movie or have the potential for later ones. We need to separate those who would be a one-shot and those who might have more potential with other characters or the setting.

109- Expanding Upon Uncharted.

First off, the Uncharted movie would take place around year before the events of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Nathan is found going over documents provided to him by Silvjia Sablinova, who's searching for an entrance to the lost city of Truso, in an effort to gain entrance to Vyraj, the Slavic Otherworld.
Silvjia says that, while she isn't one to believe in such tales... the scant reports she received from those inside of Latveria, report Dr. Doom's interest in the city.
And anything that attracts his attention, is something to be used against him if possible... and outright destroyed if not.
Furthermore, she tells Nathan that while she cannot personally be involved in the project, she'll be lending a few of her men to aid him in his endeavors... this includes a certain Merc with a Mouth, Wade Wilson.
Nathan Drake is initially reluctant, on account of both her mercenary nature, and the fact that she's the leader of a notable terrorist cell... but he eventually agrees to work with him, after she shows him just how much money she's willing to pay for such an expedition.
...And something else, that's initially hidden off-screen. Which would later be revealed to be a picture of Elena Fisher, his wife.
After some time spent researching potential locations for the lost city, he stumbles upon some rather archaic records that place the city along the Amber Road, and notes that there are several potential locations for the city, placing it fairly close to the city of Gdańsk... and uncomfortably close to the Latverian border.
Once there, Nathan Drake, Sully, and a number of Sablinova's men begin exploring the marshland, before finding an entrance to a flooded and abandoned mine that appears closest to the trail of breadcrumbs that they've been following.
After a laborious amount of time spent emptying out the water, they discover something absolutely shocking...
The fact that there's absolutely nothing remarkable about the parts of the city that they've uncovered.
As they traverse through the city, about the only thing they can marvel at is how well the city's been preserved, as they travel by what's essentially just torchlight, until they come across the abandoned church within the center of the city.
Where, among the various tombs they find evidence of trade from across multiple kingdoms and empires, from the Romans, to the Celts, Ptolemaic Egypt, to the Han Dynasty... and finally, one that appears to be evidence of trade between teh Ancient Slavs and... Camelot.
Among the artifacts, they find a relic that appears to have ties to not only Morgana Le Fay, but also the Irish Goddess... The Morrigan.
It's at this point that a woman wearing Scarlet makes her appearance, decimating the vast majority of Sablinova's forces with the barest of effort, and only spares Nathan after connecting her mind to his own.
Smiling sadly, she remarks on how truly rare it is to find other lost children, like herself... one without a guide to let them explore their gifts before they wilt and go to waste. And that, for all his fears... Elena will be alright, before the leaving the city with the Arthurian Artifact in tow.
As quickly as they can, Drake, Sully, and a miraculously still alive Wade Wilson, the last surviving member of Sablinova's forces, evacuate the city in fear of an imminent collapse... only to find that, whatever the... Scarlet Witch did, had left the city not only remarkably stable, but left exposed to the elements for the first time in hundreds, if not thousands of years.
It would referenced later, with news reports that Polish authorities have ceased control over the area, unable to prevent looters and black market salesmen from stealing anything of historical value.
Now armed with the knowledge that whatever it is that Doom seeks, is located within the lost city of Camelot, Nathan begins searching in various locations, throughout the ancient territories of Wales and Cornwall, reluctant as ever to continue aiding Sablinova's cause, seeing as his wife, Elena is still under threat... judging by Wade Wilson's continued survival and presence by his side.
He finally determines exactly where Camelot was... only to find that it's gone. Not a trace of the Fortress City is left in the region, beyond its foundation.
This is before a single woman, in a grey cloak demands their immediate departure from the area.
Wade, not having any of it after last time, attacks her, leading to a frantic battle that leaves the woman dead, and reinforcements coming to the area, but not before they gain entrance to the impossibility that is... Camelot. Finding not only the Fortress City in its entirety, but seemingly within another realm, on an island of apples, surrounded by a sea of endless wheat.
At first, there's little that seem amiss, beyond the impossibility of the situation, before they find Camelot's current inhabitants... whom all appear to be beautiful beyond measure, their Elven nature incredibly alluring.
As time passes, they begin to lose their sense of self before Nathan discovers the entombed body of King Arthur, who appears to not have aged a single day since his death at Camlann.
Disturbed by the discovery, he quickly finds Sully and Wade, and seeks for a way to escape, the situation becoming increasingly helpless and far more terrifying than it has any right to be, as the inhumanity of these beings becomes increasingly apparent, before the Scarlet Witch comes forth from the entrance, and bargains for the leave of the men from Camelot.
Freed from their situation, the Scarlet Witch lets them know that there will be a time when she calls upon their services, her price for ensuring their freedom.
As they leave Camelot, the entrance ripples once more, as Dr. Doom finally appears within the movie, stepping forward into the heart of what he calls the Summer Court, asking for their tutelage, the inhuman Áes Sídhe merely smiling in response.
Once more on Earth, Wade lets them know that, as far as he's concerned? They're good, and if there's any trouble from Sablinova, that he'll handle it, having become something of a friend to the two during their journey. Departing ways, they go back to their normal lives, with Nathan ready for the next adventure... though he and Scully both agree to never talk about what happened in Camelot ever again.
There was even the idea of implying that their time in Camelot marked the three men in different ways.
Nathan's apparent gift in magic reviving somewhat in the form of accelerated healing.
Scully becoming a modicum younger, and no longer plagued by the aches and pains of old age.
And Wade... unintentionally insulting a petty Fae, who leaves him riddled with cancer for turning their advances down.

Gdańsk is in northern Poland at the coast of the Baltic sea, Latveria is a landlocked nation in modern day Romania, in the west near Serbia.
While the exact location changes, it's always in the balkans, not the Baltic.
If you want to be near letveria place the entrance in either Romania, Serbia, hungary or symkaria.

Latveria, officially the Kingdom of Latveria, was a small country within Eastern Europe. Its capital and largest city was Doomstadt. It was ruled by Dr. Victor von Doom, a.k.a. Doctor Doom. 719 appearance(s) of Latveria 6 appearance(s) in handbook(s) of Latveria 49 minor appearance(s) of...

This isn't on OP, I wrote this as part of the Uncharted proposal based on a worldbuilding prompt I wrote up (months ago now) that justified Doom's ability to skirt international law as being more than just Diplomatic Immunity and more that he stole control of Kalingrad Oblast and its nukes from the USSR, with Sablinova's involvement being tied to the fact that under the USSR the Oblast was instead the Soviet Republic of Sokovia ('cause Symkaria doesn't sound real nor Baltic/Slavic).
EDIT: Up until now, no one has said anything to add or detract from the base concept. If you have thoughts on how else to tackle the issue of him actually possessing nuclear technology that leaves the rest of the world aware as to why he isn't invaded, specific to the Baltics, I'm open to the changes.

Dooms ability to skirt international law is twofold.
Firstly, he's Dr. Doom, one of the greatest geniuses of the modern Era and on top of that he's one of the top sorcerers alive, he doesn't need nuclear deterrents, he is the nuclear deterrent.
Secondly, International law, despite the name, isn't even worth the paper it's written on.
It's a gentlemans agreement at best and nation's will and have ignored it when it's convenient for them since there is no international court of law or any organization that'll actually enforce those laws.
Also, the F4 have repeatedly tried to remove him from power, it always goes EXTREMELY poorly for everyone, so everyone has a pretty good example of why messing with the techno-sorcerer is a very bad idea.
Tldr.
Doom IS the nuclear weapon.
Wouldn't Doom at least keep all magic knowledge for himself thanks to his ego?
Having nukes sounds more understandable than revealing that magic exists.
He may have an ego, but he isn't that stupid to reveal one of his trump cards.

While you are largely correct, keep in mind this is A) an adaption of Doom [meaning he's not 616-main] that has to also coexist with our other non-Marvel properties (Dresden Files and Gargoyles immediately spring to mind), and B) that this is meant to be digestible to our audiences, which means it's easier to explain to our filthy casuals [and inSCU, to the vast majority of the population] than him being a genius Artificer.
Not to say that these can't also be the reasons, but it's one thing to tell the audience he's a genius that nobody fucks with (while building a powerbase) and quite another to tell them he has nukes and that's why both the USA and the USSR left him the fuck alone (while he was building a powerbase).
Not the issue, buy yes.
It also doesn't help that since we included Dresden Files as part of the SCU, that it's canonical to the setting that a Masquerade is essentially enforced by a myriad of supernatural polities, the least of which are the White Council (Wizard's Council) and the Sidhe of the Nevernever (basically Old School Fae that are on the same playing field as gods), because despite their power they are reluctant to get into a war with humanity because any victory achieved would largely be pyrhric on both sides and ultimately not their main focus (they've got Lovecraftian Elder Gods to deal with at the very minimum).
In this combined setting, it makes sense that Doom would largely keep his magical prowess close to his chest as both a holdout trump card and to keep the other polities from breathing down his neck, less because of not wanting that fight and more that he could build enough of a power base to invade Hell to save his mother in relative peace.

So you're telling me Dr. Doom is gonna open a Portal to hell ar some point. What are the chances he's gonna do it on Mars ya know, the other Doom?
Edit: for the vote
[] Add a flashback scene with Nathan and Elena, showing their love for each other. It's hard to make the audience relate to a character only mentioned in the movie, after all.
only if runtime allows, having Nathan stare at her photo or his marriage ring at the start of downtime scenes or to gather determination could also sell the idea.
[] Drop hints that magic is once again on the rise, after a long period of time
seems easy enough to include.
[] Add mentions of Captain America, both in the background, and potentially mentioned in the movie.
unless we want to set up some incident with worldwide coverage this doesn't seem necessary.
[] Pietro Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch's own brother could get at least a few mentions in the movie.
depends on how much of the Scarlett Witch side of things is shown, but this seems like a good idea
[] Maybe you can have Sablinova's Mercenaries be a few other named characters, who haven't been seen in the SCU so far, and probably wouldn't appear in it.
no real opinion on who else to include but we probably should pick one or two, just so Wade isn't the only named merc.
speaking of Wade have a possible Quote:
"I went to Ascalon and all i got was pancancer, even had to mailorder the lousy t-shirt."

I think a flashback scene and Captain America reference might be a bit much.
Unless we get an actress for a memorable bit scene, it might be better to hold off an introduction for a sequel. Maybe have something in the flashback that leads to the plot for the next movie.
Magic introduction works for this movie, and introducing Doom would work with it.
Captain America is kind of random until we introduce more mutants like four certain turtles that have been ignored for a while.

The Captain America stuff would be mostly old posters in the background, and maybe a few casual mentions and references to him.
Like, for instance... if someone picks up some sort of shield in the movie, they could mention feeling like Captain America, and goofing around with it, for a bit of comedy.
Nothing big.

--[X] The Wall, also known as Joshua Waldemeyer, is a massive mercenary, exemplifying his name of 'The Wall', by his sheer size and musculature. He's a fairly angry man, but decent enough to Nathan and his crew.
--[X] Don Thomas' Blue Streak, an utterly forgettable Captain America villain in the comics... you don't see a use for him in the SCU, so why not have him killed off by The Scarlet Witch?
-[X] Chloe Frazer, a fellow treasure hunter. She could have been hired alongside Nathan Drake, and would make for a good foil to him in the movie.
-[X] Georges Batroc, in the comics known as Batroc the Leaper could be a mercenary working under Sablinova, who she doesn't send with Nathan Drake, instead keeping him with her as a bodyguard.
