Title: SECRET SIX

Runtime: 1hr 47m
Rating: R

Plot:

Lex Luthor (Nicolas Hoult), a rising corporate and political figure, is recruited by Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S. to create a covert black-ops team to neutralize high-risk threats. However, Lex sees this as an opportunity to seize power himself.

Operating in Gotham, he enlists Slade Wilson (Gerard Butler) and Bane (Laz Alonso) with the promise of wealth, power, and protection from prosecution. He then recruits Giganta (Laverne Cox), Dwarfstar (Andrew J. West), Crimson Dawn (Erin Moriarty), and Man-Bat (voiced by Michael Rooker), forming his Secret Six.

Under the guise of government-sanctioned missions, Lex uses the team to attack A.R.G.U.S., LordTech, and metahuman allies of the Justice League, eliminating those who could oppose his rise. They infiltrate A.R.G.U.S. HQ, assassinate key officials, and take Amanda Waller hostage. Using A.R.G.U.S. networks, Lex broadcasts classified documents exposing Waller’s secret experiments on metahumans, triggering nationwide riots.

But the chaos is just a distraction—Lex has a greater goal: the complete takeover of the U.S. government. While the nation descends into turmoil, his private army of mercenaries, equipped with kryptonite-laced and anti-metahuman weaponry, launches attacks on Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and others. His ultimate plan? Overthrow the government, declare himself Chancellor, and enslave metahumans as living weapons under his control.

Slade Wilson, initially just in it for the money, realizes he’s been used. Seeing the destruction across the country, he and Bane free Waller and turn against Lex. A brutal battle erupts between Slade’s faction and Lex’s loyalists. Crimson Dawn and Dwarfstar are killed in the crossfire, revealing Lex's true ruthlessness.

Lex retreats to The White House, where his forces storm the building, executing officials who refuse to submit. Man-Bat evacuates the President and key figures while Slade, Giganta, and Bane carve through Lex’s elite guards. Just as Lex prepares to declare his new regime, Superman, Batman, Waller, and the Justice League arrive to shut him down.

Final Confrontation:
Lex, donning an advanced LexCorp combat suit, takes on Superman but is ultimately defeated. As his empire collapses, he is taken into custody, though he cryptically hints at "a greater plan already in motion."

In the aftermath, Waller personally oversees the arrests of Slade, Bane, and Giganta. Instead of sending Slade to Arkham, she makes him an offer: "I need someone to clean up the messes before they start. Be my suppressor."

Post-Credit Scene:
As Slade contemplates his next move, we cut to a secret facility where Project OMAC is being activated—Lex’s true contingency plan against metahumans, ensuring that even in defeat, his war is far from over

You need to have

-Spider-Man PS4

-Spider-Man Miles Morales

-Can tweak Spider Man 2 but mostly keep it

-A Midnight Suns Game

-A Wolverine Game

-An Iron Man Game

-Marvel 1943: Rise of HYDRA

-The big project should be an Avengers Game, and with yes, AIM as its villain.

Some ground rules:

1. This is still a hard reboot of the character, meaning no Andrew as MCU Spidey.

2. Keep the same cast, like Holland, Zendaya, Batalon, and the others, meaning recasts would only be necessary if needed.

3. The SSU can still happen, however it should be the TASMverse instead.

Peter’s lesson shouldn’t be that with great power he must also have great responsibility, but MORE about what does being responsible MEAN.

We keep Uncle Ben’s death, and that part, but how he’ll react to it should be unique with The MCU.

In Homecoming, he’ll want to become an Avenger because Peter believes it’s “the responsible thing” to do. This is going to be egged on by Tony to a degree. Even though he’ll tell him he’s doing what he’s told or else he won’t become an Avenger.

In Far From Home, he’ll be obsessed with being Iron Man believing it’s “the responsible thing to do” and wanting to honor Tony, and we use this pattern to run a new path with this Peter.

In No Way Home, he’s at his most broken, not knowing what to do, not knowing what “the responsible thing to do” is.

May’s last line is going to be this

“You told me Ben told you that you had a great responsibility, and it isn’t hard to do the responsible thing as you believe. Do the right thing, and be there for those who cannot.”

And that’s what he’ll do rest of No Way Home, inspired by May, Tobey, and Andrew.

Crossbones is definitely one. Ronan maybe too.

-------------------------

• On Planet Earth - We see a couple in their early 40s driving a truck in Kansas. These are Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent. They discuss about Politics and are critical of the mogul Lionel Luthor, BUT THEN a meteor seems to fall and they nearly crash. As they get out of the truck they see a ship. Jonathan tries to understand what it is. As the ship opens, they see a cute baby - around 3 years old. The couple instantly falls in love with the Young boy. Martha convinces Jonathan to adopt the child and he agrees
• 21 Years later, the 24-year-old Clark walks on Metropolis...He suddenly sees a woman threatened by a thug. He activates his super speed, he moves like a Blur, and the thug is shocked. The next morning, there is a report on the Daily Planet about the mysterious Blur.
• Clark tells his parents about what he just did at his home in Smallville. He understands that while he is different, he can't hide forever and understands that he can use his powers. Jonathan is a bit critical of it but Martha is much more supportive.
• Martha just shows him the suit she has created for him. She is laughing at the nickname "The Blur", and states that the name "Superboy" is better. Jonathan then tells her that Clark is not a boy. Martha then tells Clark that the S on his suit is in the form of the projectors they found from his ship, which gave them hope. Clark responds that this is what he wishes to show the world. Clark holds the red cape then, and as the screen cuts we see the red cape flying from afar...
• At the Daily Planet, The reporter Lois Lane demands information about the mysterious Blur, who fought criminals in Metropolis streets. She is eager to get the story before the Daily Planet's rivals, "The Inquistor", will get it. We are introduced John Corben, who is also a reporter at the Daily Planet. He and Lois are on good terms and are just starting to date each other (They are still not a couple).
• Clark assumes a job at the Daily Planet after a successful report about The Blur's operations. He is shocked as he enters the Planet; he is used to the small town of Smallville. Through Clark's eyes, we are put in the shoes of a small town boy who just left to the big city which makes Clark relatable.We see the reporter Perry White who greets him quickly. White asks John Corben about his report on Cadmus Lab nd has no patience for the newcomer Clark. He quickly assigns him to Lois Lane. Clark is instantly fascinated by Lois' beauty, but she has no patience for him and is working on an article. Lois is mad at Perry for it, having just won a Pulitzer and being too prideful. Clark struggles to fit in within the Daily Planet and is shocked by the Big City. Lois is also arrogant towards him and is not interested to work with Kent.
• The young Jimmy Olsen is the only one who has time for Clark, The two quickly develop a friendship and Jimmy shows him some of his works. Clark is impressed. John Corben then approaches Clark and gives him a handshake. Unlike Lois, he welcomes him with open arms and is pretty nice, also. Perry assigns Lois and Clark to be partners, much to Lois' disappointment and anger.
• Clark and Lois head out of the Daily Planet building. Clark attempts to develop a conversation, but Lois only brags about her Pulitzer prize. Then, everyone is screaming. Clark notices a gang with advanced weapons committing a massive robbery. Lois is hiding and then notices that Kent is gone.
• We see the red cape from afar. As the screen zooms in, we see Clark in the famous suit we are all familiar with. He stops the robbery and disarms the criminal with ease. Everyone is hailing Clark. He creates eye contact with Lois Lane and flies away
• The next morning, Perry White demands to find the man who saved the plane, Jimmy Olsen offers to continue the use of the name "The Blur" as it became trending, and Lois nicknames him "Superman"; both Perry and Clark dig the name. Clark then picks a book which is Lex Luthor's autobiography, called "Art of Winning". Both Lois and Perry dislike Luthor, who they as a populist who attempts to buy the country and take it over, putting a facade of a charismatic and charming leader. In the background, we see a speech by Lex Luthor. He is a fantastic orator. Very charismatic. Authoritative with a low, Baritone voice You'd easily give in to his speeches. He almost looks like the perfect American Leader. A lot of Americans kiss the ground he walks on.
• The article gives us a summary of Luthor's history: He was born to the wealthy Businessman Lionel Luthor, and once he got a loan from his father he started to invest in business ventures. Lex is a genius and quickly became very rich and gained a crowd of fans who adore his business achievements and ideals. After his father died in a plane crash, Lex took over LuthorCorp and renamed the company "LexCorp", becoming one of the strongest people in America with presidential aspirations and high sway in the American politics.
• Lois discovers that Clark is already working on an article, which angers her. Lois is obsessed with this Superman. John Corben attempts to convince Lois that this Superman guy can be a threat to her but she ignores his warnings. Clark disagrees with Corben and softly says that this guy might be a good man.
• We see Clark at his Metropolis apartment. He is thinking of his childhood at Smallville when everything was..simpler. He looks at a picture of him from his childhood.
• Lois and Clark head toward a LexCorp conference they were sent to cover. Clark is shy and a bit clumsy, and while Lois still sees herself as superior to him she starts to develop a sympathy towards him. The two enter the Lex-Tower and Clark is shocked by the place. A guard approaches Lois and Clark and tells them Mr. Luthor would like to meet them, privately.
• The two enter Lex Luthor's office. He welcomes them. They see a bald man with an average figure, yet with a very strong, threatening, and dominant presence - This is Lex Luthor, and we are introduced to him for the first time.
• Lex handshakes Clark. Lex tells Clark he was impressed with his article about Superman, but that this Alien is dangerous to America. During their interview, Lex shares his Conservative worldview: He believes that Superman is an Alien who is dangerous to America and traditional American values, and he also argues that America lost the values that once made it great and that America must go back to its traditional roots. Clark is confused and seems a bit bothered by this statement. Luthor continues, he says America needs to be stronger, instead of disrespected by foreign nations.
• Clark notices the thug he fought before he became Superman. This is Heinrich Melch and he is accompanied by henchmen with dark clothing.
• Clark tries to convince Lois to leave, but just then - Heinrich and his men pull out guns and tell everyone to be calm if they want to go home safely. Clark tries to attack Heinrich but he hits him and Clark pretends to be unconscious. Lois screams and is then held by the thugs. Clark then makes sure nobody sees him..
• Heinrich talks with the mayor, who tells him he can get him everything he wants. He is satisfied, but then Superman arrives there. Heinrich gets mad, he tries to hit him but Superman defeats him easily. Superman assures everyone that everything is okay. He helps an older man to stand on his feet and flies away rejecting interviews from the press.
• At his apartment, Clark watches a debate on the TV about Superman. Some reporters are afraid of Superman and his power, they don't know who he is and where he came from, while others are saying that he can be a protector; "The Man of Tomorrow". Clark doesn't want to be a symbol of fear, and looks at his hands and fears that people will be scared of him. He understands that he doesn't desire it.
• Clark, as Superman, goes to Lois' apartment. She is shocked to see him but is excited, and he agrees to give her a private interview. Superman and Lois' chemistry is almost perfect, she is starting to fall in love with him and he already has feelings for her. Superman thanks Lois and leaves, she watches him with an excited look and praises herself that she is about to win another Pulitzer. Superman then stands at the Daily Planet rooftop with a hopeful look, while citizens are noticing him. The look of fear in their eyes turns into a hopeful look.
• We cut to the LexCorp's tower. Mercy Graves hands Lex Luthor a paper of the Daily Planet. Luthor is mad. He owns many papers that are adopting his narrative, but he is mad that the one Paper that he failed to take over is now taking a pro-Superman stance. Not only that, but the Daily Planet is one of the most effective papers in America, so effective that they can even end the career of someone like the President.
• Lex then notices Superman watching him from behind. He opens the window so he can talk to Superman. Lex explains that his father, Lionel Luthor, built the Luthor Empire and that he expanded it. Luthor also explains that he got the entire Congress on his payroll and that while Superman is physically powerful, real power is authority. Lex declares that tomorrow he can become President. Superman then declares that he knows Lex was behind Heinrich's attack. Lex denies at first, but then admits he wanted to test Superman's abilities. Superman then declares he is going to keep an eye on him and that he no longer owns the city. Luthor gets mad and throws a statue of Alexander the Great as Superman but Superman turns it into dust. Superman then flies leaving Lex angry and shocked.
• Sometime later, Lois' article about Superman spread pretty quickly across Metropolis. Perry praises her for the work. Clark then asks Lois how Superman gave her an interview, Lois is pretty arrogant but her attitude makes Clark amused, by the way Lois is talking about "The Man of Tomorrow", as she called him, he understands she is developing feelings for his other self. John then asks Lois if she is interested in Superman. Lois attempts to push him away but he demands answers and states that he feels that Lois is drifting away from him. She then tells him that he is becoming obsessed and leaves.
• When John Corben arrives at his apartment we are introduced to his lifestyle for the first time. He drinks a beer and watches a TV Report about Superman. He throws the bottle into the wall. We see one of Luthor's henchmen from earlier waiting for him there. Corben asks him what he wants and the henchmen respond that Lex Luthor demands him to remove his investigation on him. Corben refuses and responds that Luthor's corruption needs to be known to the public. The henchman responds that this is not a request but an order and that if John refuses he will regret the day he decided to get into a Battle with Lex Luthor.
• Corben leaves the place and gets into his car. He drives quickly nearly killing an old lady and a young boy, but then..a car hits him and he is involved in a deadly accident. We see him bleeding and nearly dead.
• Doctors arrive there, and they take Corben away..
• There is a private LuthorCorp party hosted by the "National Foundation project", an organization that is controlled by people that are close to Lex. Many other businessmen, reporters, and Politicians who are on Luthor's payroll are there. Lex then gives a speech about an Alien that invaded the country and threatens what makes America great, he declares that the Daily Planet is trying to replace him with Superman. Lex then declares what is needed now is further deregulation so that LuthorCorp will expand further
• Meanwhile, we see John at an underground lab. Doctors are holding the mysterious green rock stating that it was found in Kansas and seemingly can keep John alive and replace his heart.
• John asks where is he. The doctors are telling him that he is suffering from a deadly disease, they are working on helping him, and that this is his only way to remain alive...
• Jimmy watches TV, where a reporter who works for Lex Luthor publishes a fake report about Superman. Clark is confused and asks Jimmy if he believes it. Jimmy responds that he doesn't, but many people do.
• Clark asks Lois if she has heard of John's accident and asks if she visited him in the hospital. She responds that she still hasn't seen him. Clark is confused as he thought John was Lois' boyfriend, Lois responds that they had some dates but she eventually lost interest in him. Clark asks why and she responds that she has someone else in her mind. Clark knows who she is talking about.
• The screen now shifts to the lab where John is currently held. The lab is run by the National Foundation, he declares that he feels much more powerful, trainers are hitting him and he barely feels pain at all. He asks what is happening to him, but states that he never felt that good before. Corben then feels something..weird. He states that he barely can feel his heart. He is confused and asks what is it. The doctors urges him to not worry about it and that he should not waste time thinking about it. He demands answers but the doctors refuse to talk without permission from Luthor. John storms off the labs and puts a disguise on himself so he won't be recognized
• Clark and Lois walk around the streets of Metropolis and share some memories from their childhood. It is revealed that Lois' father is a militarist and a general in the army who is a big fan of Lex Luthor. Clark tells her more about his parents and his childhood in Smallville and Lois herself now starts to be less arrogant towards Clark.
• While Corben walks he starts to feel weird. He then sees a paper on the floor which reports about his accident. There is also Lois' article about Superman. He feels this weird feeling again and enters a pay phone. He attempts to call Lois but she doesn't answer. His eyes become green for a second and he screams.
• Corben breaks into Lex's office, which is placed at the tallest level of the Luthor Tower, watching the entire city. Luthor then tells his assistants to leave him and John privately. John demands to know what is happening to him and Luthor tells him that his little surgery gave him powers that can match Superman's. Corben gets angered and threatens to kill Luthor, but Lex tells him that only his doctors can fix his condition and that in special cases he will die, they won't help John. John asks what Lex desires, and Lex declares that if Superman is killed, John's condition will be fixed. Corben calms down and understands what he must do.
• Perry wants to know everything about Superman and declares that Lois' article wasn't enough. Lois gets mad at him but quickly regains control of herself. She walks quickly with Clark trying to catch up to her and trying to calm her. Lois refuses to hear and declares that her next work about the Man of Tomorrow is going to give her a Pulitzer. Clark looks at the Daily Planet archives where he notices an article by Corben about Lex Luthor. The article talks about LexCorp's illegal deals and crimes that Lex Luthor and his associates did, which includes blackmailing, fraud, and bribing congressmen alongside threatening multiple reporters who tried to discover details. Some documents even suspect of illegal weapon deals that Luthor did through Government contracts.
• Clark and Lois arrive at a LexCorp party. Lex announces his new project: New advanced weapons that will be sold to the US military, in order to further establish dominance across the world. Clark attempts to interview Luthor but he snubs him. Clark attempts to have a private chat with Lois. Lois then enters one of the Offices and attempts to find papers. She then notices John behind her. She is shocked and confused at the same time and asks him how he managed to get there. He is not answering. She is surprised that he is alive but he is angry at her for not answering his calls. Lois apologizes but John quickly asks about Superman. Lois understands that John is up to something and she attempts to escape but he blocks her and tells her he doesn't want to hurt her. Clark then hears Lois with his super-hearing and activates his X-ray vision. He quickly arrives there and is shocked to see the alive John. John jumps at Superman and manages to match the Man of Tomorrow's strength. The Battle shifts to the LexCorp party and everyone is screaming. When no one notices, Lex orders his henchmen to record the Battle. Lois attempts to call the cops meanwhile. Clark manages to strike at John's chest, which exposes the green rock that was installed instead of his heart. John hits Clark badly and he bleeds for the first time, Clark manages to deliver a blow which distracts Corben but as Corben notices the Police officers he kidnaps Lois and quickly leaves the place. Clark, barely alive, arrives at Jimmy Olsen's apartment.
• Superman is begging for help while Jimmy is amazed that Superman is at his home. Superman reveals to Jimmy that he is Clark Kent, Jimmy is shocked until Clark puts a glass on. Jimmy feels over the moon. Jimmy helps Clark recover from his injuries and Clark reveals to him that the green rock was the first thing that ever hurt him. Jimmy asks Clark if he can take a photo of Superman and Clark agrees.
• Warren Mills, one of Luthor's assistants, enters Lex's office in the Luthor Tower where Lex is waiting for him. He shows Lex photos of Superman's battle with Corben. Lex assumes that the green rock had a certain effect on Superman and demands that more rocks like this be found.
• Jimmy does some detective work and manages to locate the labs where Corben was turned into what he is. Superman doesn't understand what was the effect of the rock on him. They discover that the National Foundation runs the lab that turned Corben into what he is.
• Clark goes to the Fortress of Solitude and searches for answers. Jor-El tells him that Kryptonite is a radioactive mineral that emits radiation harmful to his Kryptonian biology. He identifies its unique signature and realizes that prolonged exposure weakens him significantly, making him vulnerable to attacks.
• Corben, who goes underground as "Metallo", goes after some congressmen that try to limit LexCorp through regulations. Superman tries to locate Metallo, but still doesn't know what to do about Metallo's use of Kryptonite.
• Metallo kidnaps Lois and holds her in the lab that created him. He broadcast messages across of Metropolis. Superman goes there and asks Jimmy to watch out for him. Meanwhile, Lois tries to convince Metallo that there is still a way back, but he refuses to listen, he accidentally tells her that he must do it to be fixed. Understanding what he just said, he refuses to tell her more. Metallo promises Lois freedom if she tells him who Superman is, and she responds that even if she knew, she wouldn't have told him. She spits on his face.
• Superman breaks into the labs and starts to battle Metallo. As expected, Metallo's use of Kryptonite dominates Clark. Clark however manages to release Lois just in time. Their Battle is climatic and long and is filmed by multiple reporters. Metallo eventually unleashes a beam that destroys the entire building, and Clark shields Lois. Metallo is worn out and Clark understands that he must exhaust him and drag out the time, so Metallo will collapse. Clark is nearly getting killed by Metallo's Kryptonite, until Lois targets his heart by electrocuting him with electrical wires. Metallo collapses and is killed. Superman thanks Lois, help the people who were hurt, and flies away.
• The morning later, at the Daily Planet, Clark, Jimmy and Lois are watching a report about Superman's fight with Metallo. Lex Luthor is interviewed and blames Superman for the damage that happened. Lois rolls her eyes and closes the TV.
• In Lex's office, one of his henchmen brings him what he asked: This is a rock of Kryptonite. He is pleased and keeps it in his office.
• There is a cut to Lois' house. Night in Metropolis. Superman arrives and thanks her for helping him. She asks him for a flight around town, Superman is surprisingly insecure and hesitant but agrees. After the flight, Superman takes Lois to her house. The two share a romantic kiss and Superman flies away, watching the city

What movie order is best to watch?

My idea was WandaVision she'll become bad, and MOM will end with her getting sucked into The Quantum Realm, leading to her killing Scott and escaping, her real point of no return, and ending with her doing Secret Wars.

Full transparency, I loved Watch Dogs 2, and I would have loved to see more of those characters, but protagonist switching apparently was a part of the franchise and so I was open to the play as anyone feature, where you can recruit and play as anyone in the city to rally against the evil Big Brother corporation. I wasn't excited, I didn't get what was going to be special about it and it turned out, there wasn't a whole lot special about it, outside of how hard it was to do, but as I played, I started to see what they were going for and why they didn't hit the mark.

The main problem was that all the characters were essentially the same. They all hacked, they all fought, they all drove, more or less the same. Even the hacking and gadget skill tree was the same for all, as if all the characters were just one big character you were leveling up. Some had perks you could use, but beyond that... not much. The Secret Agent archetype's car had rocket launchers, stuff like that, that was cool for a couple minutes, but didn't really build into the story and narrative.

This problem was further underlined by the idea that characters did have lives and relationships before you recruited them, but once on the team they all had the same kind of lines and became nothing but weaker versions of Marcus or Aiden. They became less human, less like characters when you needed them most.

Also the game was a little glitchy here and there, as if corners had been cut on tech.

So here's how I'd fix it.

1) Use a Roguelike framework, where you don't level up characters, or the faction, so much as you level up your access to characters over time, you level your party. In Legion, your Dedsec can start with three rando losers, and no one reputable would even think about joining you, but as you complete mission and build up, you get attention and belief and standing which allows you to recruit people with more skills, perks and access. At the beginning no Bad Guys would join you making accessing those places nigh impossible, but halfway through you can even get high level Bad Guys to join you if you work hard, giving access to more objectives. More people translate to extra lives and more abilities, and more diverse abilities (hitmen, agents, drone experts, etc, like in the actual game). Not everyone can do everything. Some people can't drive, some people can't shoot, some people can't even hack, but everyone has a role to play. And some have multiple roles and are better at them. The old lady draws less suspicion. The businessman has more money to spend (or maybe a multiplier/discount). Characters who have been around a while have grown their Dedsec networks and can recruit easier, and if you've been using them, they've leveled up their skills too.

2) Have companion AI and character switching within a single mission. Because everyone has a role to play, now you may need more than one operative on a mission, so now you're deciding how many people to risk for every objective, and you can switch between them to complete things, just like you'd switch between your character and your drones. Would require the AI be solid and forgiving. Would also make for fun gameplay trying to free/rescue teammates that have been caught and captured. You can also do things like have minor missions that you commit members of your team to that leave them busy for minutes at a time (I think the game had this already) to level them and earn resources.

3) Every character has their own personal side mission. To keep characters a character, they have relationships or check ins that give them boosts by still being connected to their old life. These can come with both risks and rewards, and it kind of systematizes being human in a way down to a simple meter, but that diversifies characters and gives them something to chime in on other than the mission. Visit aging mother. Work their job that functions as their cover. Busk for money. No need for new gameplay, keep it simple. Having multiple side missions or required side missions could be a liability for more amazing characters.

4) The Faction leveling should form a cap, not the floor. That is, the faction still gains access to new hacks and devices and vehicles and etc that are available to the Dedsec characters, but the characters have to be able to use them, they have to have the right skill. Old grandpa can't just get in the rocket car and shoot rockets accurately. So you're still building up the organization, but you're managing different advancement while managing your roster, like a sports game almost, you're playing as the franchise, but you naturally have favorite players, but then you could lose those.

5) Use two different vectors to create character archetypes to run dialogue options. What I mean is, you already have classes/archetypes that can create unique dialogue options based on their access and skills. Combine that with relationship classes or quirk classes to add to their dialogue and now you have the feeling of a full cast of characters. If there's 10 relationship quirks, and 10 archetypes you have 100 different feeling characters! You could even use this in cutscenes, where you can have specific dialogue written and the scene can just automatically slot in your highest two Bad Guy faction members, most lethal character, the character that complete the last mission, and anyone who has an entertainment job so that they all chime in on things that make sense for them to say, if not not, a generic person says it, cuz hey, they might know. Now you have characters with relationships that we can be invested in.

6) Handle the leak without changing the source code too much. It's hard to talk about the tech side without seeing how things went down, but one thing that I suspect had a huge effect on the game's development was the source code leaking. This is a problem because it makes the multiplayer EXTREMELY vulnerable. My thought would be to just let the multiplayer go and leave it to mods, and create a modding community around the game. Unorthodox for Ubisoft but its worked for Rockstar. Once you've got a system of catching hackers in the act, you can do your own WatchDogs Legion Online and what not. But taking time and changing the core gameplay to be different from your original working source code, if that's what happened, is a much worse result, and takes away from the development of a good game to make sure that multiplayer is stable in the result getting neither.

So those are my thoughts, let me know what you think!

This is more aligned to The CW-Version, which I grew up with, but you can pretty much apply this to any version. I think that we've been in a crossroad, we're we have an Eobard Thawne who's not a sympathetic villain, as he'd be making those crimes that he prevented; or a Thawne with a pathetic motivation, like CW does, where he was not praised for stopping a crime because The Flash did anyway.

I think there's room to do this better, to make a Thawne who has a better reason to hate Barry, but not to make it where Barry is at fault either. Barry obviously will make a mistake, but he has to make a mistake that we can defend, not one we can really resent him for. He has to do a thing not right, but we have to make it where we're able to sympathize with Thawne as well, and get to understand why he's doing this.

Here's what I'd do. Barry goes to the future, chasing down Reverse Flash, and will end up in that year which Eobard lives in. Eobard, who's The Future Flash, will run up to him. He'll talk about how he's become a hero to be like him, about how he's helped people, and will just begin to talk on and on. Barry doesn't respond, not knowing what to do.

He'll know that Thawne idolized him, as he's learned that already, but believes this could be a trick, and that if Thawne is genuine and is a good guy in the future, he should be left to his own devices. It's better if he doesn't know, if he doesn't have a person to hate. If he doesn't want to hurt people, but is kept wanting to help them. Thawne, meanwhile, is just being stared at and studied intensely. He's confused.

Barry makes a tough decision, he chooses to run away, to go back to his time, to not risk having a real mistake happen. Thawne's confused, angry, and will want to know how The Flash could have done that, and so he goes on an aggressive search for information, interrogating people throughout Time and The Multiverse, wanting an answer, and becoming more broken overtime, and making his Yellow Suit, and making his own Negative Speed Force. Only his hatred and pain because The Flash abandoning him could get him through this journey. The Speed Force wasn't enough.

He'll eventually find a person that will know the truth, a historian, who's obsessed with The Flash, and Thawne will realize what he's becoming, and in denial and rage, kill this person. Only for him to see that he's become what he didn't want to be. He is The Reverse Flash, he cannot deny that now, and he hates The Flash for running away and abandoning him to his destiny.

The Flash abandoned me to my destiny, and now I will bring that destiny upon him. He will get what he deserves for his sin of running away.

Based in an answer i was writing for a post gere I thought I could give it a chance to rewrtie the Ant-Man movie with the challenge of keeping it as close to the trailer released for it.

In this rewrite I wanted to use this movie to introduce kang the same way the first Guardians of the Galaxy did with Thanos, by keeping him just as a misterous plot device with no further influence in the story. This time the villains would be a fan favorite that is the AIM organization. Also I tried to keep some MCU changes that I think they're good but badly underused or ridiculous.

First I would keep MODOK origin like the movie with Darren Cross but I would make some small changes. I would change MODOK's attitude from the dumb comedic character that uncomfortably smiles like he's on high meds to the more classic egotistical, angry and dumb comedic character. Make him have tantrums, be angry at everything and hating ant-man with his guts. I would not make him a giant, clean head of Darren, maybe add some details like the white eyes and the ugly face.

Next I would take it as a good opportunity to introduce Monica and AIM to the formula. And the new plot would go like this:

AIM was an ultra-advanced company in the 60's leaded by monica and secretly financed by Hydra that tried to replicate the technology of Howard Stark and Hank Pym . After a really messed up experiment with stolen pym particles the whole AIM building gets transported into the quantum world along with Monica and AIM personnel. AIM would then, use the quantum world as their area of operations and would kidnap random people around the real world to use them as experiments or turn them into mindless mechanical drones.

After the events of antman 1, Darren would be horribly transported to the quantum world along with horrible mutations that fused him with the yellow jacket suit giving him a computerized mind and access to many tools. He would be captured by AIM, and treated as another experiment. But he would be able to gain influence in the company practically entering conflict with Monica and fragmenting the company.

Both MODOK and Monica would enter in war since they want to open a mysterious vault that is said to contain unlimited power. Here enters the original wasp who would be helping kidnapped test subjects find a way to escape creating some sort of "community" on the hidden parts of AIM territory.

Monica finds out about Ant-Man and all the avengers did in IW so decides to bring all of them to the quantum world, but they end up in random places with Hank and Katie falling on MODOK side and Scott and the new Wasp ending at Monica's.

The plot would go with MODOK and Monica using the Ant-Man and his family to open the vault first, with scott planning a way to escape. The movie goes on... Scott and katie have a final confrontation with MODOK, Hank Pym makes a last sacrifice, and both the new Wasp and the original one fight Monica.

Almost at the end the mysterious vault opens... Only to reveal that Kang was inside of it all along, imprisoned by his variants. Here, he makes a showcase of his power by defeating the whole ant-family and the AIM soldiers by just standing still and practically transports the whole AIM territory to the real world causing a disaster. Monica apparently "dies" off screen and MODOK flies away to an unknown place, at this point Kang opens up a portal and leaves. The movie ends with the city in ruins.

A post-credit scene is shown with the council of kangs (and the main variants) with horror running from one place to another preparing themselves for war.

This is the first time I try something like this but any correction or possible loophole is welcome.

Golden Calves.

Imagine if we got a live-action, science fiction kaiju film that took influence from Jurassic Park…

What if we used science to create living myths? What if we became so scientifically advanced that we were able to create gods and other mythological creatures for us to venerate, making our dreams and desires to find meaning in a cold, uncaring universe come true? What if we were able to make our dreams come true?

What if we were able to create our own idols, or living golden calves?

I was recently rewriting/adding to DMC stories on the DMC subreddit and while I could post them all here, there was one specific fix to 5 I wanted to share here.

DMC5 has a sound first half, but what I reckon I would do is establish that Urizen acquired his status as Demon King from the remains of Mundus after what happened to the latter in DMC1. At this point, Mundus is still sealed away, but Urizen has him fixated on the Qliphoth, taunting him for being so "pathetic" as to let him take his power. As the Qliphoth grows, he would gradually lose control of Mundus as the game goes on.

The final battle, as cool as it is, is ultimately low stakes so with our re-established Mundus in this story comes the most critical change: have the Dante vs. Vergil fight in the same mission as Nero vs. Vergil and have Mission 20 be a rematch against a more powerful blob Mundus. 

With Urizen no longer having control over Mundus, the latter slowly breaks out of the Qliphoth roots over the course of the missions after Vergil comes back. The remade Mission 20 would be somewhat reminiscent of DmC's Mundus fight and have you switching between Dante, Vergil, and Nero as Mundus tries to power the Qliphoth and annihilate the humans. All three characters could continuously power up to use their Devil Triggers/Sin Devil Triggers against the former Demon King in his desperate attempts to reform and rule again -- maybe give him a moment where he tries to pull the Qliphoth fruit out of Vergil. Heck, we could have Trish's lightning power them up further as a fun callback to the finale of DMC1.

Ultimately, however, all three Spardas would "Jackpot" Mundus to death, destroying the Demon Emperor for good. With all that power exertion, however, at least Dante and Vergil would be weakened though they could easily do what they did in the original ending by going to hell to cut down the tree. While my DMC2 rewrite explained how Dante could return from hell, if they were to end the series for good right here, I'd let them.

Any feedback from fans or enjoyers would be appreciated!

I think he should have an Ant-Man Movie let him win and kill Scott and Young Avengers.

1. Have a montage shown as the intro where Lightning wins all his four Piston Cups instead of just telling us he did it.

2. Explain how Doc died.

3. Remove the spy plot and instead focus purely on WGP. Have one race on each continent.

4. Lightning and Mater could still have their falling out. Mater does something that screws Lightning over by being himself so he looses the first race and have Lightning overreact but have Mater actually learn something valuable from it. He could get sad, travel the world on his own and be involved in stuff which changes him to take stuff more seriously and be more serious as a person sometimes when he’s not at home. He comes back to the last race and redeems himself by helping Lightning winning it. Lightning meanwhile gets upset at himself for being too hard on Mater and learns that it's important to hold onto friendships, especially your best friend.

5. Francesco eventually feels symphaty for Lightning because he showed many of his old friends away because they also were annoying but he misses them every day because they also had very good sides to them. This makes Lightning truly understand the good sides of Mater and also eases up Francesco and Lightning's rivalry.

6. Have the rest of the Radiator Springs gang accompany them on their journey because they are very sidelined in the original movie. They closes Radiator Springs and puts up a sign saying they are on a holiday. Sally helps Lightning realizing how much Mater means to him and how much he means to Mater, they also go on romantic dates and explore stuff outside of the races. Also the rest of the Radiator Springs gang interracts with other cars, perhaps they meet some who do the same stuff they do. Ramone for example meets another grafitti painter and they have a fight about how a car is the best painted while Sheriff meets another sheriff and they have totally different views on the law.

Instead of doing what he’s doing to spite Pym, he’s doing this to make Hank Pym better, and to make him use his Pym Particles to do good, to protect people, and not just to be this big secret that people don’t get.

He’s attempting to make him a better person who is willing to do what is right. He’ll hate Scott because Hank is using him as a pawn to protect what he loves, and is disgusted by him and what he’s being used to do.

This makes Darren a person who’s goal is too motivate his “mentor” to do what’s right and get up and help people and not let his Formula die with him.

It’s going to be, “I’m going to give it to people good and bad, or you’re going to use it to do something good.” He’s attempting to get Hank Pym to be a better person.

He’s also hypocritical, as he’s doing what Hank is, only attempting to help people that he loves and deep down he loves being Rich, this is just a bad mechanism to deal with this.

And add to his background, he was abandoned or abused as a kid, and Hank Pym did right to help him “get up” shall we say when he was an adult. He loves Hank, but believes he’s able to be better.

This not only gives him depth, but will let us see what Hank doesn’t do well, and how he’s possessive to a FAULT, with his Pym Particles.

My idea is he’s a reverse-Black Widow. SHIELD brought him in because he, Tony Masters, was experimented on as a kid to cure a disease that would cause him to become braindead quick, and due to this he was given a Photographic Memory and able to Mimic people’s moves in battle. Mom and dad weren’t able to raise him.

Masters did work with SHIELD, and was an asset that little people knew about, who was known as Taskmaster, used to kill people when it was needed most. He was done with being used at a point, around when Natasha was with The Red Room, and dipped.

This where we’ll get to Dreykoff. He won’t be in this. Instead, we’ll use Ivan Bezukhov. He was Nat’s “handler” with The Red Room and he was her “Father-Figure” who brought her in to it. For his relationship with Dreykoff, he’s Vader to Dreykoff’s Palpatine.

Both Ivan and Taskmaster believe people are predictable, they’re only capable of doing what they’re taught. It’s hypocritical though, as Tony is obsessed with becoming the best and self-improvement, and Ivan is not doing what he’s taught, this isn’t working with Russia; and instead of believing that people only CAN do what there taught, like Tony, he believes people SHOULD only do what there taught. They’ll both see Natasha as a deviation from what people are capable of doing, and are going to be disgusted by her existence. Ivan is going to want to use Mind-Control to ensure that this is never going to happen again.

Once Dreykoff was killed, Ivan took over The Red Room. He “evolved” himself by becoming part-robotic. He recruited Tony Masters, who, in a big twist, we’d reveal liked being used and liked killing, and he believed he was “replaced” when Natasha was brought in. Taskmaster is going to believe he has no purpose or use besides killing as a weapon, and that’s what Natasha’s purpose and use is as well.

Taskmaster has right to do work besides what The Red Room gives him, and it’s better than what SHIELD gave him. He was asked by Ivan to deal with Natasha, to get revenge, and that will be his goal to kill her or better, to get in her head, and break her.

I think this is better, Ivan with a personal relationship to her, and Taskmaster as an ideological parallel to her.
