Been working on this for, what, 5 years now? It's called Modern Gods, and I hope for it to catch on. Essentially, Galaxius is the MC, and the overwhelmingly powerful God of Strength. He and his brother, Everus, God of Status, are sons of the tyrannical ruler named Q, the God of Gods. Galaxius and Everus are abused and mistreated by Q, so they decide to run away from their home planet of Ruslisea, and head for Earth, after finding an object capable of that kinda travel. There, they have a few drinks, and discuss what Q would do to them for escaping. They decide to man up, and not be so scared, as Q wouldn't know or care. Everus dares Galaxius to talk to a stunning woman in a booth, silently drinking gin. But, as he went up to her, a beam of energy hits him, de-torsoing him. Everus fights off the attackers looking to bring the pair back to Ruslisea, but just then, Galaxius regenerates, and does a move called 'God's Judgment', which destroys the attackers, but leaves the people inside and the bar intact. The people run out, but the only person left is the woman Everus dared Galaxius to talk to. She introduces herself as Phoenix, an assassin, and says that she know who the duo are, although most of humanity hates the Gods for 'abandoning' them (they didn't, were just hiding among mortals). She invites them over to her place so they can have a rest and not have to worry about angry humans. That's just episode one, but I'm still writing this.
I've thought about this before and thought about how sometimes a teenage rebel in a family could be seen as a bad guy. You know, that stereotype where the teenage rebel is a problem.
So I wondered what would happen if this existed in a world of heroes and villains.
In Teenage Rebel in Villain School, 15 year old Maxine Wright (Max) is a freshman sent to Grudge High School, a low end Villain School, because her parents think that, because of her rebellious attitude, she might end up a Villain. Max is rightfully upset, and has to live her freshman year out as a Soon-to-be Villain. Thing is, she doesn't fit in very well because everyone but her has superpowers. Everyone around her is malicious and truly intent on causing chaos. If anything, to her, her whole life feels chaotic. But while lost in thought, one day she makes a friend who has ghost powers, and his name is Gary Specter. She realizes that just because people are Villains, it doesn't mean they don't have a heart. Throughout the entire show, I kind of want to just show how even the baddest of us all can be a little heroic. Some heroes could be portrayed as overzealous and reckless, being too cocky. Some heroes may be portrayed as real heroes, putting effort into their role.
Overall, this idea is pretty hellbent on showing people that even Villains have hearts, and not all Heroes are really heroic. Some people may hide behind a facade just to have a status in this superpower society.
No idea if I did this right, it's my first post here.
I'd love to either make or at least watch a show that begins each episode with a medival fantasy artifact shop keeper who, each episode, begins with introducing the consumer (The viewer) to an item in his shop to fit what the customer is looking for. For instance, it might go something like SK: Shopkeep The shopkeeper rushes behind the counter, bumping into items stacked upon counters due to the amount if cluster of strange items SK: Oh, yes come in, come in. I've just been sorting out a few things. Now, then what have we here? Ah, yes, something to heal and empower you. Of course, how specific! Let me see He proceeds to dig through items as things fall, scatter, and break. He reveals a series of vials containing a clear-blue liquid SK: Mermaid blood. A real treasure. Those women are real feral. Of course, they're dangerous too He winks. These serums came to me from a fisherman...
And it then trails off to a story of a person either travellings to obtain an item, or happening upon it, or already in possession of it who decided to sell it but it shows the story of the item. The entire thing is ideally a comedy, like, Monty Python kind of sketch homour.
SitCom/Rom-Com
TV-14: Drugs and Smoking
The protagonist, a desperate low-life and atheist (Elliot), gets a job at a Christian TV station to get his roommates/friends off his back. This station is owned by the father of the girl he falls for, who also works there and is a very religious man.
The humor for the show would come from the melding of the two worlds. There would also be an aspect that skewers the christian tv channel and the crazy shows they have.

Mafia would start in 1910 and continue until the 21st century. The rise and fall of the big players, this show wouldn’t be focused on a family that the audience knows will win, but the real history of all the Italian American gangs and their associates.
My pitch is for an wide-demographics anime series comprising 52 half-hour episodes. I hope for it to be made by J.C. Staff Co. Ltd., OLM (Oriental Light and Magic), Inc. and Sentai Studios while being distributed by Doga Kobo and TV Tokyo (Japan and Asia); Discotek Media, NBCUniversal Media and Sentai Filmworks (North America and Worldwide). I stated in the title it's to be a Magical Girl plus Magical Boy Space Opera with elements of the Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Fighting, Horror, Mystery, Romance, School, Science Fiction, Superhero and Thriller genres. Hoping it can be a successor to Sailor Moon in terms of the themes of astronomy, astrology, gemology, Japanese elemental themes, Greco-Roman mythology, teenage fashions, school antics and LGBTQ spectrum acceptance with an added history of spaceflight and futurism speculation in taking on the scourges of toxic masculinity in hopes of becoming one's best possible selves.
I am calling the series Valkyrie Squadron for now, and here is the Series Logline for those curious.
LOGLINE: The Black Empire of Apophis returns to wreak havoc upon the planets of the Solar System and the four primary asteroids which are home to colonies of humans, animals, plants, machines and alien life forms. The four femboy Spartan princes of the asteroids must leave their kingdoms to team up with the Valkyrie princesses across the Solar System to create the elite force through which they can stop the Apophis attacks. Disguised as schoolboys attending high school with an Earth colony; the Spartans Ceres, Juno, Pallas and Vesta befriend the girls who are Valkyries Helios (Sun), Hermes (Mercury), Aphrodite (Venus), Gaia (Earth), Artemis (Moon), Ares (Mars), Zeus (Jupiter), Cronus (Saturn), Caelus (Uranus), Poseidon (Neptune) and Hades (Pluto). With the powers of their magical and technological arsenals, they fight back against Emperor Typhon. But as they seek out the mysterious Spartan or Valkyrie Olympic to protect them from the Empire, the Spartans and Valkyries discover their greatest hope may lie in their most fearsome enemy.
Some may still be confused on the background, so I may provide it here for anyone who wants to study it.
BACKGROUND: Eons ago, when the Solar System was young; it was home to great civilizations. The Helian Kingdom mastered the art of harnessing solar and dark energy to forge wastes and natural resources of comets, asteroids, moons and planets to create massive space colonies orbiting each major body. Colonies came in all shapes and similar sizes to provide platforms to refuel and resupply starships traveling between worlds on both interplanetary and interstellar scales. Much of the fuel was harvesting the gases of the gas giants’ atmospheres and replacing them with pure oxygen and nitrogen like Earth’s atmosphere. The discovery of dark energy and mastery of its manipulation led to the control of magical powers from which an elite team of magic warriors for the Solar Kingdoms’ royal families was established to protect the Solar System from all threats both internal and external. These Solar Warriors were comprised of the all-female Valkyrie Squadron and the all-male Spartan Brigade. It was a golden age of peace and prosperity that came to an end with the evil Emperor Typhon.
The Solar Kingdoms always preached and practiced the healthy balance between masculinity and femininity on a personal level and a societal level. But this did not sit well with Typhon, governor of the Zeussian space colony Gehenna. He sought more power so to become the supreme masculine being to conquer the galaxy for the Solar Kingdoms. This is what led him and a team of seven advisors to launch themselves on an expedition to the roaming Class S asteroid 99942 – commonly known as Apophis. What they discover is the entire asteroid is the tomb castle of the patron deity of darkness and chaos that it is named after. Apophis finds a kindred spirit in Typhon with their mutual enmity towards all things feminine as well as hostility towards peace, justice, truth and hope. Apophis leaves the Solar System for a while to return to the larger galaxy where Typhon and his disciples spend years immersing themselves in the dark teachings of Apophis. Upon their return to the Solar System, Typhon has with the help of Apophis and his advisors conquered countless other solar systems.
Now having crowned himself Emperor and expanded Apophis into a roaming planetoid of evil, Typhon orders his seven Eclipse Knights to lead armies to destroy the Solar Kingdoms' defenses. Both Valkyrie Squadron and Spartan Brigade lead a spirited defense that sees Typhon and his forces on the brink of defeat. But in his rage, Typhon refuses to be denied in the end. He launches a hypermatter comet at the Sun to cause a meltdown in its core until it shaves off a large layer of itself damaging the colonies and devastating the planets. The Spartan and Valkyrie warriors perished along with a majority of their peoples, but there was hope as the Solaris Crystal was able to unleash a wave of energy to heal the Sun and the planets until they became the way we know them as today without a hint of the civilizations that were destroyed left behind. As for the many Children of the Solar Kingdoms, their spirits were dispatched with the splitting of the Solaris Crystal into sixteen smaller crystals sent through time and space to when they would be needed again to battle the Emperor Typhon.
As for Typhon and his Eclipse Knights, they were still beaten and forced into hibernation as the Castle Apophis departed the Solar System for parts unknown. This was even as the empire they built up across the larger Milky Way Galaxy continued without their presence. Life would evolve until human space flights starting in the early-to-middle 21st Century began rediscovering the space colonies of the Solar Kingdoms. Reactivating the Dyson Swarm which harnessed the Sun’s energy as well as dark energy, astronauts started the process of the colonies’ automated repair and the collection of fuel from the gas giants’ atmospheres to begin the long rebuilding of the Solar Kingdoms. With the intent that the new Solar System to be the beacon of light and peace for all, the Solaris Crystal fragments found their way back to new hosts to reincarnate both Valkyrie Squadron and Spartan Brigade. However, a few renegade space colonies have launched their own expeditions to Apophis to uncover the truth about what happened to unintentionally free Typhon. And so, our story is ready to begin...
Place Your Bets! is a sitcom idea I’ve sat on for a few months, inspired by musical supergroups as well as the Telltale Games game Poker Night At The Inventory (on Steam I believe).
A massive number of characters from other sitcoms, played by their original actors, mostly those that have already ended/retired and some of whom have now aged significantly, come to a Las Vegas hotel for a poker tournament with a seven-figure prize pot.
Characters are organized into matchups of four people for each hand of the tournament. Before, during and after their hands, they chitchat about their pasts and on what their lives are like now. No two characters from the same original show are ever paired against each other, except perhaps in the final playoff stages.
Within each episode, one or two minor overarching stories play out between the characters, away from the table. Perhaps Kevin Malone and Amy Farrah Fowler decide to card-count with mortifying results, or Rosa Diaz and Dina Fox investigate a body found in Lake Mead, or Patrick Brewer and Mitchell Pritchett are determined to show they are not boring by signing up for a skydive.
Two or three fixed actors play the casino dealers and are seen in every episode. I propose Maya Rudolph as a dealer. Classically Vegas celebrities, including Barry Manilow, drift throughout the backgrounds of the episodes and star as themselves.
This could be a low-key entertainment broadcast on cable between other shows, or a web series or compilation of shorts on a streaming service, à la Comedians In Cars. I suspect getting the actors back for this would be a lot cheaper than doing so for full revivals of their original shows.
Genre: Comedy-Drama, Fantasy
Synopsis: Meet Jack, a confident, career-driven man who has always lived life on his terms. Jack embodies a certain aggressive confidence, dismissing issues like sexism and misogyny as exaggerated or irrelevant. He’s brash, arrogant, and unapologetically chauvinistic—until he crosses the wrong woman. One of Jack's ex-girlfriends, fed up with his behavior, turns to voodoo as a form of revenge, enlisting the help of a New Orleans mambo.
Jack wakes up the next morning to discover he’s been transformed into a woman—physically, but still mentally himself. Now, as "Jackie," he has to navigate life in a female body, facing the very challenges he once dismissed. From unwanted attention to workplace discrimination, Jackie quickly learns that being a woman is a far cry from the life of privilege he once knew.
Jackie's journey is complicated further when she starts developing feelings for her attractive, kind-hearted coworker, Chris—someone she used to befriend and even make crude jokes with. The emotional turmoil of this new attraction forces Jackie to confront her own beliefs about gender, identity, and love.
Throughout this journey, Jackie leans heavily on her best friend and roommate, Gabriela. Gabriela is a witty, outspoken woman who has always called Jack out on his behavior but never expected to be teaching him how to navigate life as a woman. Gabriela becomes Jackie's guide to womanhood, helping her understand everything from fashion to feminism, while also pushing her to grow as a person.

This has been an idea I've written the pilot episode for in script, and have planned the large plot points for long ago, and I have to get this out there or it's gonna drive me insane. Although if I ever did this, I'd want it to be something I'm involved in, because that'd be my dream, blah blah blah, here ya go:
Setting: Post apocalypse America after an extreme solar event, split into different "Sectors" responsible for certain tasks of production and/or order. Specifically outside Sector 3, responsible for government function and the housing of America's 1% and political leaders.
MC: Parker, a young adult who lives alone. 5'10, skinny, brown hair, light skin, covered in oil stains. Wears dirty jeans, army boots, and his father's leather jacket over a dingy white shirt. Has an M1 Abrams with a sash of ammunition over his shoulder.
Introduction: Shows life in the outskirts of the large civilization of Sector 3, which is walled off and excessively guarded at all times. The town has no name, but is part of a long string of homes that stretch across the dusty landscape called the "Outskirts". Remnants of the old world are traded as currency, and used to improve or build on life daily, and there seems to be very little conflict unless involving Sector 3, whom they all despise to varying degrees. Parker works as a scrap collector and mechanic for the Outskirts, just like his father did.
Conflict: The perspective changes to that of Director Edmond, whom steals the munitions control key from the general to send airborne weapons to the small collections of homes and markets in the Outskirts. He does this because his family was killed in an attempted uprising from the outsiders years before the walls were built, and he wants revenge. This destroys all that Parker's ever known, and he's instructed by the leaders of the Outskirts to get help from the other Sectors.
Development/Main plot: Parker traverses several Sectors across varying landscapes, dodging extreme dangers whether human or not. He travels to Sector 4 first, the Water Sector, where he begins a historical revolution to overthrow the growing corruption in Sector 3. They discover that the higher ups knew of the solar event years before it happened but never told anyone, and had been playing the citizens for nearly 300 years to remain on top.
I imagine the show being animated similarly (even if vaguely) to Arcane with the 3d/2d animation style, and being relatively realistic in terms of avoiding plot armor or making it too predictable. I've reached out to some to see where I could take this idea since I've got like an episode and a half written, but nobody knows, so I'm trusting the internet to do it's thing!!
There are three series I loved reading when I was younger: the Gone series by Michael Grant, the Cherub series by Robert Muchamore, and The 39 Clues. I don't want to die before seeing TV adaptations of those books.
There are many court proceedings that are transcribed, but the recollections and statements made by plaintiffs and defendants in criminal trials are documented in their documents. This can serve as a script to do an unscripted uncensored review of how the performance of the actual plaintiffs and litigants performed based on the court decision in the case. Actors and unprofessionals can be called to compare their own version of events and a panel of influencers and youtubers would be the judges as to:
Who's portrayal seemed most accurate to the narrative from the documented dialogs on both sides
What would actually be a proper penalty should one side fail to draw a mistrial
All proceeds from the episodic case by case show would benefit the show's operation and then also the investigation into whether or not the winning side deserves to get monetary restitution. For example, if a guy claims he was brutalized by the police, we can pose the choice of getting money, or having that money sent towards a smear campaign on getting the police department that brutalized him to fire the cops that did so and also pay him directly for hurting him.

Training Paralegal Joseph Lee
I was gonna post this a few days ago think I know that TBOB would affect this concept but todays the big day that it releases, this is now being posted in celebration the book of bill’s release (though this isn’t the only thing I’m posting in celebration of its release). Also I’m fine with any criticism this concept may receive especially with how bill might be depicted. Also warning this is long
So for the last 2 years (aka around the time amphibia was ending) I have had This hyperfixation on a concept for sequel seekers to gravity falls staring bill which is reveals that gravity falls, amphibia and the owl house are in the same universe (which I like to call the cipher saga) but is also sets up the crossover movie between all three shows which serves as the finale to the saga
The plot is that immediately after bill is erased from Stan’s mind he is brought before the axoloti and he makes a deal with him to stay alive which forces him into a weaker humanoid body and without his infinite power (he still has some powers like energy blasts and others but nothing comparable to his infinite power) and the only way to get his original form back is to find a way to bring the axoloti to him as some sort of test. Bill then discovers a crystal so has the ability to traverse the multiverse and after meeting someone one would be important to the series, gets the idea to start the cipher order, an multiversal shadow organization/army consisting of various individuals across the multiverse that bill promised to give them whatever they want once he gets his infinite power back
The series takes place over the course of 18 years (from a few days after weridmageddon to 2 weeks after amphibia’s timeskip epilogue) and will have 3 seasons. Season 1 is about the start of the order which consists of introducing the main characters as well as the worlds that the order is involved with and it’s set between 2012 and 2017. Season 2 starts immediately after the season 1 finale and is set between 2017 and 2022. Obvious the big events of season 2 is the order’s perspective of both the events of amphibia and the owl house especially with the events of true colors, frog-vasion and the day of unity, this season also is bill’s character development begins. And finally season 3 is set between 2023 and 2030. Mid way through Bill finds out about a larger version of the crystals the order uses to travel the multiverse which can be used to get the axolotl to bill and the series finale shows bill succeeding in getting this crystal and getting the order prepared for the day he gets his powers back
Now a major part of series especially in season 2 and season 3 is bill’s character development. Now I want bill character’s arc to be in way where we feel bad for bill a little bit but at the same time not forgetting about the atrocities bill committed in the past. We learn a lot about bill’s past in the second dimension and what drove him to destroying it and his relationship with his family at the time. Bill still the same in season 1 though he doesn’t do things that would make the order upset so he doesn’t lose the order but he starts to change in season 2 when he starts to care about the order mainly do the how long the order’s been working with him and due to a “misery loves company” effect where is around people who were also wronged in life. And in season 3 he cares about the order fully, he still is sadistic to his enemies and does bad things for the order but he’s nice to his order. He even changes his endgame plan, original he was gonna use his infinity power to kick start weridmageddon again and betray the order but because he starts to care about the order he changes the plan to taking over the multiverse and after that giving the order what they want. Bill’s growth is also complemented with his relationships in the order mainly with the order heads (the main members that are in charge of each branch of a world involved with the order) and talon valurius (his second in command and that important person I mentioned earlier).
And then there’s the crossover movie that serves as the finale to the cipher saga and brings the heroes of gravity falls, amphibia and the owl house together to stop bill’s plan of getting his infinite power back and his plan takeover of the multiverse
And that’s the all I wanted to say about my concept, Again I’m ok with any criticism this might get. I’ll probably go into more detail about the characters, main events in the series and the movie if you guys are interested but if you not it’s fine. As for me I gonna try to not think about this concept not because I hate this concept but because this has been on my mind almost non stop for 2 years at this point (the concept is one of those concept hyperfixations where it’s so big you think about fanmade edits, merchandise, merch and collabs for the concept). What I want my last acts involving this concept/au to be before moving on is make the finalized designs for the characters (I’ve already some designs on heroforge but I want to draw the finalized designs since heroforge is limited) and commission art from Issabolical (that really good artist who’s made fanart for gravity falls, amphibia and the owl house) of bill, talon and the rest of the main characters of my concept. And that’s really it for my concept.
I came up with the idea of this show and the name for an anti drug school project (hence the name)
it follows a schizophrenic sophomore who gets entangled in a gang filled city in Virginia and is ordered to pay a large sum of money from a gang that stops him in three days or else his family and him will die. he gets help by the most popular girl in his school because she is the girlfriend of a boy who’s family is secretly a giant drug business. he repays the debt but the two become partners and get in a load of dramatic sequences.
it seems a lot like Breaking Bad but the plot is a lot different
Synopsis: The Earth's rotation around the sun is disturbed (insert science fiction mumbo jumbo), and Earth is found hurtling away from the solar system and into interstellar space. Society has basically collapsed into anarchy. A young group of scientists and astrophysicists and their families are ushered away by top governmental officials and billionaire societies to underground bunkers that thrive off of geothermal energy. However, when one scientist's family goes missing, he takes a risk to track down his missing son before average temperatures reach unbearable levels. Think of how great the first episode could be with the chaos, the sun just going blank in the sky, etc. If you have better plot for this concept, let me know.
Plot Line A: Main scientist adventure + the family's adventure until they meet.
Plot Line B: Some of the other scientists are forced to put their lives in danger in order to fix different parts of these large underground structures.
TV-MA (Violence, Sex, Smoking and Drugs, etc.)
10-12 Episodes; 40 min - 1 hour
So it’s a cartoon show where they have an episode per day. The show would start with the character being brought home from the hospital after being born and each episode would be around 10 -> 20 minutes long showing the average day. It would start out as a kid show with the main character watching cartoons and listening to bang music but as they get older they would make friends and go to school. The show would tackle topics like death heartbreak and other serious topics as the character and the people who watch the show get older. The show would continue on until the character would be around 76 where the final episode would end with the character surrounded by family and friends with the screen cutting to black. Imagine the Truman show but as a cartoon.
What if someone made an animated sitcom in a Zero-G city? Would you watch that? Animated to not have to film in zero-G. A sitcom seems like a good way to show lots of different events. I think someone should make this.
Instead of a five year mission or a juant across the galaxy, we follow a crew of specialists aboard an innovator class starship called the Macgyver.
Their mission is to respond to highly irregular and dangerously unique situations that many crews cannot handle without assistance - unless they are a flaship or science vessel that's already filled with the best and brightest.
The small crew of around a dozen are made up of the best engineers, doctors and physicists, as well as a small flight crew which operates the ship itself. Throughout their missions they interact with the department for temporal affairs, starfleet laywers overseeing stange cases, section 31 and various ships facing new anomalies.
Captain Horatio Newland: A veteran of the dominion war and a firm believer in federation values, wishing to help the many crews left shorthanded by wartime losses.
First officer Molly O'brien: Daughter of the chief engineer Miles OBrien and the main liasion between the flight crew and various specialists aboard - leader of most away missions.
Specialist Yaren: An unparalleled genius who's revealed to be a fallen Q (depowered for unspecified actions during the temporal wars) and kept secret by Captain Newland.
The series is episodic, focusing on problem of the week stories which may mirror situations Star Trek technobabbled away in a few minutes, but with an underlying arc for the first season (exploring galactic wide consequences of an unknown planet's experiments) and slow build series arc that gradually pushes the final frontier into different times and dimensions.
[edit:spelling]
A Kangaroo held captive in a run down zoo escapes and steals a subaru, but during a high speed chase with zoo security, they crash into a radioactive waste factory, merging with the car to become a sort of Kangaroo/Subaru cyborg. They use their newfound ability to liberate animals from other distressed and run down zoos around the world.
Now, a big obstacle would be getting Subaru to sign off on usage of their name, but, considering this is not an adult cartoon, and rather more of a children's show, they might be on board.
Thoughts?
A reality tv show where people aren’t allowed to reveal their political beliefs until the last episode so viewers can watch people connect at a human level and hopefully maintain that connection after learning about their differences at the end. On reality shows in the 90s, people of different backgrounds came together and learned to connect despite their differences. But now people have become so polarized that the only way to help people remember how to connect is by forcing them to live in an environment where they can’t share their political beliefs. Maybe make them all wear the same type of clothing too so they can’t rely on anything other than who they are as people to build connections.
Imagine Mind Your Language, British Teacher but all of the students are hyper nationalistic Balkans. All of whom have recently moved to the UK and are now learning English so that can find new lives in the UK.

The world had ended in a blaze of fire and destruction. The once-great cities of North America's eastern and western seabords lay in ruins, ravaged by nuclear bombs. Electricity was a distant memory, and the rule of law had given way to chaos and anarchy.
With no electricity to brighten the darkened skies, the world became a stark and desolate place where survival meant resorting to the most primal instincts.
In the small town of Lander, Wyoming, a full-blooded Arapaho man named Nick Lone Wolf, a former US soldier, had lost everything. Nick's world shattered when a group of white supremacists attacked his family. His wife and daughter had been brutally raped and killed. But his son, Ike, had survived.
The flames of vengeance ignited in Nick's heart. Consumed by grief and rage, Nick Lone Wolf vowed to take revenge on the men who had destroyed his family. He rallied the Arapaho and Shoshone tribes of the Wind River Reservation, and together, they launched a brutal attack on the white supremacist group. The battle was fierce and merciless, but in the end, the Native Americans emerged victorious.
The white supremacists were annihilated, and the Arapaho and Shoshone tribes forced the remaining white survivalist groups out of northern Wyoming. But the fighting didn't stop there. The white survivalist groups regrouped in western Nebraska, forming an alliance known as the White Community.
Meanwhile, a powerful white supremacist alliance was formed in South Dakota, forcing the Lakota tribe out of their ancestral lands. Thousands of Lakota refugees fled to northern Wyoming, seeking shelter with the Arapaho and Shoshone tribes. Nick Lone Wolf, now a leader among his people, welcomed the Lakota and formed an alliance with them.
Over time, Nick Lone Wolf's alliance expanded to include the Blackfeet, Flathead, Crow, and Cheyenne tribes of Montana. Together, they conquered most of Montana, driving out the remaining whites and establishing a Native American empire. The alliance was ruthless in its dealings with outsiders, accepting only Asian Americans and Latin Americans, who were assimilated into the tribes, but rejected whites and blacks – the latter due to the devastating actions of former urban gangs from Chicago.
For ten years, the Native Alliance fought against various white motorcycle gangs, white survivalist groups, and small black and Latin city gangs that had spilled out of the ruined cities into the plains. The Natives were victorious in every battle, but the world was becoming increasingly barbaric. Motorcycle gangs had devolved into horsemen gangs, and gasoline had gone bad after only three years. Diesel fuel had lasted a little longer, but eventually, it too became unusable. As gasoline reserves dwindled and technology became a relic of the past, the world regressed into a state of primal savagery, where only the strong and ruthless could hope to endure. The motorcycle gangs that once roamed the highways now galloped on horses across the plains, their war cries echoing through the barren landscape.
As the years passed, the Native Alliance faced its greatest challenge yet. The White Community, formed by the white supremacist groups that had been chased out of Wyoming, had allied themselves with a cannibalistic horsemen gang known as the Vipers. The Vipers, originally a motorcycle gang from Indiana, had roamed the Midwest, pillaging, raping, and enslaving people for over a decade.
The Vipers, led by their ruthless leader, Dirty Smith, joined forces with the White Community and launched a brutal attack on the Native Alliance. The Natives fought hard, but they began to lose battles. It seemed as though their empire was on the brink of collapse.
Just when all hope seemed lost, a messenger arrived from eastern Nebraska, bearing news of a smaller Native American alliance consisting of the Omaha, Winnebago, and Santee tribes. They wished to join the Great Native Alliance and fight against their common enemies.
Together, the combined forces of the Native Alliance and the Omaha/Winnebago/Santee alliance launched a devastating attack on the White Community and the Vipers. The battle was fierce, but in the end, the Natives emerged victorious. The White Community was annihilated, and the Vipers were exterminated. Ike Lone Wolf, Nick's son, personally killed and scalped Dirty Smith, avenging the many atrocities committed by the Vipers.
The Native Alliance had conquered Nebraska, and for the next eight years, they enjoyed a period of relative peace. They still had skirmishes with small horsemen gangs and white survivalist groups on the borders of their empire, but they were always victorious.
But a new threat was emerging from the east. A nomadic tribe of African Americans, consisting of united black street gangs from Detroit, Michigan, had arrived on the Native Empire's eastern border. Led by their leader, Supreme Keith, they demanded to settle in central Nebraska, but the Natives refused.
The two sides clashed in a massive battle, and the African American tribe suffered heavy losses, including the death of Supreme Keith. But the Natives also suffered a devastating blow: Nick Lone Wolf, the founder of the Great Native Empire, was mortally wounded. He died a month later, surrounded by his people.
Ike Lone Wolf, now the leader of the Great Native Alliance, was consumed by grief and anger. He ordered the slaughter of all the women and children of the African American tribe who were being held captive by the Natives. It was a brutal act, one that would haunt the Natives for generations to come.
Ike Lone Wolf was more ruthless than his father, and his reign would be marked by bloodshed and conquest. The Native Empire would continue to thrive, but at what cost? The world was still a barbaric and unforgiving place, and the Natives would have to fight to survive in a world gone mad.
Title: Shadowed Shores
Genre: Political Thriller / Drama
Premise: In the quiet coastal town of Cape Cod, a web of secrets and conspiracies unravels when the CIA, hiding two of the most notorious figures in recent history—Osama bin Laden and Edward Snowden—tries to set up a disabled veteran for a series of crimes he didn't commit.

Visual Style: The series would have a dark, gritty aesthetic with a strong emphasis on the contrasting serene landscapes of Cape Cod and the tense, shadowy world of espionage.
This series could explore deep ethical questions and provide a thrilling narrative with plenty of twists and turns.
The 2nd episode starts where the pilot left off with Nicholas goes to Larry's place to give him a large check or sum of money to thank him for saving his life and also offer him a job as his part time assistant for more money. His single mom hears about this and is proud of her son being a hero and tells him to accept his job offer which he does.
Larry ends up being Nicholas' part time college assistant while also his assistant in his crime fighting behind the scenes. He earns enough money to get him and his mom out of debt, move from their shabby place to a decent apartment and get an education. He later sees Nicholas and Emily as his parental figures aside from his biological single mom.
Arthur who is implied to know Exo-Man's identity, assigns Nicholas to handle dangerous criminals.
Nicholas later learns instead of just tanking attacks, he should learn to fight back and asks Arthur for a trainer to teach him basic self defense and hand to hand combat so he can put his arms to good use like striking or grapples. He also installs new defensive equipment like a wrist net gun, wrist hose that shoots either water or oil, electric fingertips to stun the enemy by simply touching them or to start a fire after shooting oil from his wrist hose to scare enemies. He also installs triple grappling hooks., one on each wrist and a 3rd on the suit's abdomen. He usually uses 1 grappling hook but uses the other 2 in case the 1st one snaps. He'll also install a backup power source/battery to prevent repeating the incident from the pilot which lead to him meeting Larry and getting his life saved by him.
Nicholas later makes leg braces to help him walk casually with the same material he uses for the suit's legs. In one episode, it'll get damaged and he'll use the wheelchair again but in the end of the episode, he'll fix the leg braces or make a new and improved ones.
Larry will get character development where he gets more confident and learns new skills. Maybe in one episode, Nicholas gets in trouble and Larry and Arthur save him from the situation with their teamwork and Larry's street smarts and quick thinking. He might even find a love interest from the school he goes to while trying to keep his secret of being Exo-Man's assistant.
Similar to the film Medusa Touch, a man lies comatose in a hospital bed. Advance medical directives were never drawn up, or at least never presented to staff. No one can, or will, pull the plug, but maybe someone should...
Terrifying and more or less inexplicable disasters begin to happen shortly after his hospitalization. A detective looking into the incidents realizes the comatose man is the common thread, and writes up a detailed report to the prosecutor's office. "Having exhausted all conventional explanations for this wave of disasters, I have only one theory to offer, that the subject patient is somehow responsible for all of it, through hitherto unknown agency. To stop this unprecedented assault on public peace and order, we must terminate his life support."
Where my proposed show departs from this minor horror classic, is that the investigator's recommendation doesn't lead to a frantic race to shut the heart/lung machinery off, but instead, paperwork submitted to a judge, with pleadings for a warrant to let them carry out their deed. The response is stark and begins the creation of a parallel legal process: "before we kill this man, you must prove the unprovable." And so it begins - a prosecutorial team that brings on board sharp lawyers, world-class parapsychologists and other scientific experts. And a "defense" team which seeks to use equally brilliant minds to oppose them.
The riff on "Medusa Touch" would just be the pilot/origin episode.
Every week, there would be a new and varied situations:
A couple sue a realtor for selling them a house that's infested by a poltergeist, but the claim must be validated as real, and not a hoax.
A fellow is accused of cheating at casinos - is he a card shark, psychic, or merely very lucky?
To keep things interesting, some of these cases would have to resolve in non-supernatural, perfectly "prosaic" ways.
I would like to see ParaLegal: Unknown Agency lean toward the coolly procedural, like Law and Order. Although I loved Ghostbusters, my show would be antithetical to that movie. PL: UA would feature few, if any jokes. Minimal, if any gadgetry, other than scientific instruments needed to supply the legal teams with objective measurements and data.
Although I see this as highly episodic (and it could stay that way), I also thought about adding an emerging thread/arc - as some of these cases resolve with proof of supernatural beings, forces, etc, our world passes a tipping point - the existence of such things, always at the fringes of "possible" is now deterministic. This stuff is real, and changes well beyond the courtroom begin to happen - some miraculous and beneficial, others horrific beyond imagining. The Djinn is out of the bottle, because WE popped the stopper, and it seems like there's no getting it back in there...
I'm a little bored with nature documentaries. I understand they need to appeal to a broad audience, but I've seen it all two times by now.
As a kid, I loved building little bridges for the ants in my garden and seeing how it affected their actions. I did the same with building little dams in the dirt when it rained.
Show me ecosystem ecology in action baby! Show me how fragile ecosystems can be, how small changes can have big effects. Just don't depress me in the process! 🍀
This is a kind of a weird, surreal and mostly sexy show mainly set in 2004 about 3 Bikini Models look to start the greatest criminal empire in the entire United States
One of the daughters in a very large family is known throughout her town for her Rube Goldberg like inventions to do everyday chores. Because she is always creating inventions to get our of doing work, her family and everyone else in town calls her "Lazy Susan" (her first invention was named after her because she got sick of passing food at dinner time and having to wait forever to eat). Every episode is her getting into some adventure because someone has asked her to create some type of invention that somehow causes chaos in her town.
Hello, people! I love studying European history and was very inspired by a video made by Dieu Le Roi listing every state of the Holy Roman Empire that made me think about how cool it would be to make a series showing the history of every state of the Holy Roman Empire, though I first thought about the opening. Here are my thoughts:
The opening would be similar to the one from Game of Thrones, with a map of Central Europe being displayed. The start would be the border between Middle Francia and East Francia disappearing through Otto's conquests, then crowns and bishop hats appearing in the several very autonomous states that were formed. At some point, the Pope’s Triregnum and the Emperor’s crown would approach one another just south of the Alps in the map and clash, with the space between them being the starting point of a crack in the map that would be the shape of the frontiers of the Italian city-States, representing the Investiture Controversy and how the fights between Popes and Emperors was essential to the fragmentation of Northern Italy. The screen would move away, showing first the Great Interregnum that happened from 1250 to 1273 happening through the disappearance of the Holy Roman Emperor's crown. After that, the Babemberg coat of arms would be in Austria, disappear, then the Wittelsbach coat of arms would go from Bavary to Austria. Some areas of the map (the electorates) would have their rulers' crowns reuniting in Frankfurt and the Holy Roman Emperor's Crown would appear again in the middle of them, then the rise of the Habsburgs in Austria would be shown through the appearance of their coat of arms in Switzerland, which would move to Frankfurt with the Emperor's crown being put over it (this part would happen at the same time as the one with the electors), go to Austria, "kick" the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach and grow in size, always with the map being yellow under it, then several curve lines would shoot from Vienna to the capitals of realms which the Habsburgs acquired through marriage through all of Europe, which themselves would turn yellow and raise little crowns to represent those acquisitions, and a visibly wide line would shoot from Madrid to the west of the screen, not showing it but referencing that the Habsburgs had most of the American Continent for a time. Then random things would be shown, like the promotion of places to Free Imperial Cities through the change of colours in their territories and the kicking of the crowns of the state rulers that used to rule over those cities before their promotions to Free Imperial Cities. That could be followed by a bunch of ships and carriages moving between several of those cities and others in North Germany to reference the Hanseatic League. Since Italy was partially still nominally under the HRE by that time, the Renaissance could be shown through the style of the opening animation being since the start like the style of those Medieval illuminated manuscript drawings, but in Italy starting to become more realistic, like Renaissance paintings, and with that spreading to the rest of the screen as the opening continues. After that, Bohemia would get partially purple to represent the Hussite movement and the territory where Martin Luther started preaching his Protestantism would become blue and spread to most of the Protestant regions of the time, with Bohemia becoming blue as well, since the Hussites joined the Protestants. The Pope’s Triregnum, several Bishop hats from all of the Empire and the Holy Roman Emperor’s crown would position themselves around those blue areas in the map, as if containing and fighting against Protestantism, representing the Religious wars of the time. When the Peace of Westphalia happens, the Holy Roman Empire, which in the map would until then be represented by an unified territory of slightly different colours, would be partially cut in size (because it was indeed reduced) and each region, instead of only having marginally different colours, would have very distinct and vibrant colours, all of that united only by a dotted red line around the territory of the Empire, and the crowns of the governors of all those realms (dukes, counts, kings, Bishops, Archbishops, et cetera) would appear and grow in size while the Emperor’s crown, in Vienna, would diminish, representing how the Holy Roman Empire became much more divided after 1648 and local princes had by then much more authority than the Emperor. The Siege of Vienna would then be shown, with some animated attacking element coming from Ottoman-dominated Hungary to Vienna, but with miniatures of winged hussars and other soldiers from stated of the Holy Roman Empire and kick out whatever the animated attacking Ottoman element may be (I do not know how it could be fittingly represented). Then several wars in which the Holy Roman Empire was involved, like the War of Austrian Sucession, would be represented, with the French Revolution being the final one and the map changing a lot due to German Mediatization. In the end of the opening, the camera view would descend to the lowest point of the map and quickly go forward to the north, now horizontally showing all the brightly colored regions (allowing for geography to be included as well) and several crowns and clashing against one another, carriages and soldier miniatures moving, floating treaty papers and other things being shown through the way, ending with the title of the series being shown when the camera reaches the frontier with Denmark, showing a big and stylized "Holy Roman Empire" title, with some elements from the episode in which the opening is happening being displayed around the title. At all times during the opening, big cities would be displayed with some small (relative to the screen) fortifications and famous buildings rising from the ground (or flourishing mechanically like in the Game of Thrones opening) and continuously expanding, maybe with patrician coats of arms appearing a little bit as well, especially in the Free Imperial Cities, representing how, despite all the fights, conflicts and wars, cities were growing and becoming more and more important during all this time. The opening theme would be “Our Destiny” by the band “Two Steps From Hell”, because that song sounds very epic, in a way that really reminds you about big movie adventures in the Middle Ages (and Modern Era, of course), plus being only melody, not having lyrics, thus not bothering the audience, which would be focused on what is happening in the screen. It would be a long opening judging by the amount of elements and the extension of the song, but that would not be a bothersome aspect, in my opinion. Some other things that could be in the opening would be the appearance/emergence of different styles of architecture (Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, et cetera) during the previously mentioned rise of buildings from the ground. Additionally, the series itself would have seasons with several episodes, with individual episodes covering specific things (like the Medici Bank, the history of Nuremberg or the election of an important Emperor), while arcs would cover extended historical events (like Empire-wide wars, the Investiture Controversy, that one long Interregnum, et cetera), season endings representing crucial things in the Empire’s history (the resolution of the Investiture Controversy, the election of the first Habsburg Emperor, the Peace of Westphalia, the French Revolution in the very ending of the series, among others), with the seasons I thought about being the following: season 1 is from the Frankish Empire to the formation of the Holy Roman Empire by Otto I, Otto I to the end of the Investiture Controversy as season 2, the Renaissance as season 3 (this one being highly focused on Italy and with Luther nailing his 96 complaints being the post-credits scene of the final episode), the Hussite Movement and Protestant Reformation as season 4 (ending with the Peace of Westphalia) and the rest of the Modern Age as season 5, ending with the French Revolution but with the episode being specifically about the history of Austria allowing for part of the episode happening after the Holy Roman Empire, maybe (very maybe) showing the Confederation of the Rhine, German Unification and, the World Wars and the current era. Every single state with Imperial Immediacy would have its history shown in one episode, with some small states with not very long histories and physical proximity being put in the same episodes. Some episodes would be longer than others, with Austria's episode (the final one, with its foundation, the rise of the Habsburgs, the French Revolution and all) being the lenght of a movie. What do you think about this idea?
