My What If Story

 


 
What If The Avengers were founded by street-level heroes?
Now here is my own What If storyline, and it's basically, What if: The Avengers were founded by Street-Level Heroes. If you've seen the What If TV series or read the comics, you know what What If. The Watcher shows the reader/viewer different outcomes to certain storylines like What If Spiderman joined the Fantastic 4, What If Karen Page didn't die, What If Iron Man had died instead of Captain America, and What If Wolverine became the Punisher. 

The founding Avengers were Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man, Wasp, and Captain America. But what if they weren't the founders of the Avengers? What if it was a group of street-level heroes?  

In this universe, Tony Stark never became Iron Man, Thor never got banished, Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne remain as scientists, Bruce Banner never became Hulk, and Cap was never found? Who would be Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

The founding Avengers of this universe are Daredevil, Luke Cage, Spiderman, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones.  

The team assembles to battle against Kingpin, who is on the verge of taking over New York. Daredevil and Spiderman team up with Luke Cage, Danny Rand, aka the Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones. They must unite to stop Kingpin and the Hand.  

Kingpin would be the book's villain, and he's got the Hand on his side.

The series would have Spiderman and Daredevil facing off against Kingpin, but they can't defeat him with his new army. So Spiderman and Daredevil meet former convict Luke Cage, who has the power of unbreakable skin, and billionaire Danny Rand, who is Iron Fist, who agrees to help them, along with private investigator Jessica Jones. The team is led by Daredevil. The team works together and defeats Kingpin and the Hand after defeating them. The team decides whether they should remain as a team and if they do what they should call themselves. Jessica immediately suggests The Defenders, but they all dislike it until she suggests the Avengers instead. She announces it in a funny way too. "@#$% it, how about the Avengers because we avenged everyone Fisk killed." They all agree to that name.

The Avengers are born.
They agree to the name, and Iron Fist gets them a tower named the Avengers Tower. The team assembles more members, such as Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Misty Knight, Blade, Colleen Wig, Black Cat, Echo, Punisher, and Captain America, who still gets unfrozen, and he joins the Avengers, much like the event Secret Empire the one from the 1970s. Steve Rogers quit being Captain America and became The Captain. Daredevil stepped down as team leader and named The Captain their new leader, and Luke Cage became second in command of the Avengers.

Avengers Assemble!
The Avengers continue to protect the streets of New York from more threats with the help of the people of New York. The team even looked out for each other while fighting other foes. When the Green Goblin kidnaped Gwen Stacy, Spiderman's girlfriend, and he threw her off the Brooklyn Bridge, she died. However, in this universe, she was saved by Moon Knight, and the Punisher shot Green Goblin in both his legs, allowing Spiderman to knock him out. Thus Gwen Stacy never died in this universe because Spidey had the Avengers' help. 
The Avengers kept the streets of New York safe until they faced their biggest challenges from beyond the streets.

So that's my What If story where basically we see the Avengers if they were formed by Street Level Heroes. We also see that the Avengers were always meant to happen, even if it's not the mainstream or the original founders. Let me know what you think? Leave a comment. I do have more What If stories in the future.

Why I support the Writer's Guild Strike

 

Why I support the Writers Guild Strike.

So we have another Writer's Guild Strike happening, and I support it because these writers and screenwriters deserve better pay and wages, but also, let's face it, we are all getting tired of Modern Hollywood. We want to see more original ideas and story-driven films and shows.  My sister and her friend are screenwriters who support the strike. I also support the strike for them because I believe in the cause of the Writers Guild of America wanting better payment. After all, these studios must treat the writers with respect and pay them a fair wage. I hope they succeed in this strike, even if it means no new content for a while, but let's face it. We're all sick of live-action remakes! We are all on the same page. I Support the Writers Guild of America.

Star Fox Movie Fan Cast and Ideas


Star Fox Movie Fan Cast and Ideas 
 

Here's another Nintendo movie fan cast and ideas, this time around Star Fox. Star Fox is a beloved game series, but sadly they haven't had a good game for a while. Still, I think we will get a good Star Fox game. If I were to make one, I would use the inspiration from the Mass Effect series but not Andromeda.

I think Star Fox could happen because one of the writers of Rogue One said he wants to make a Star Fox movie. As well, I've seen this fan-made poster for a film.
This poster is so cool and makes you want a Star-Fox movie to happen. 
We need to see a Star Fox film happen, but it needs to be an SC FI space battle movie. With a well-written character, but don't make it like Star Wars. The first film should be based on the Star Fox 64 game. First, here is my fan cast for a Star Fox movie, and later I will talk about my idea for a Star Fox movie. 


Lucas Till as Fox McCloud 

Michael B Jordan as Falco Lombardi 

Josh Gad as Slippy the Toad

Stephen Root as Peppy Hare 

Rob Paulson as ROB 

Lennie James as General Pepper 


Zazie Beetz as Katt 

Russ Butler as Bill 

Maisie Williams as Fay 


Sam Rockwell as James McCloud 


Hugo Weaving as Andross 


Sebastian Stan as Wolf O'Donnell 

Jason Mantzoukas as Leon 

Gary Anthony Williams as Pigma 

Andy Sandberg as Andrew 


So that's my cast for a Star Fox Fan Cast, and here are my ideas for a Star Fox film.


7. We would see Fox use his blaster in the film and fight on foot.
In the film, Fox uses the Arwing and Landmaster and his blaster. The film would have Fox fight in person. After playing Smash Bros for years  
 


6. Star Wolf would be in the film as secondary antagonists. 
Star Wolf would play a significant role in the film, and they would be Star Fox's rivals. Now in the future, if they make a second film. I would have Star Wolf as the film's main villain because, let's face it, I don't think anyone wants a Star Fox Adventures film. I'll get more into that later. 


5. The film needs to be an SCI-FI space battle movie.
The film should be an epic SCI-FI movie, and we see Fox explore the Lylat System to reach Venom and stop Andross. We should see epic battles in space and on different planets as well.

4. The film would be based on Star Fox 64, Zero, and explore Fox's origin. 
The Star Fox film should adapt the 64 and Zero because, let's face it's the most popular game. The film would be an adaptation of Star Fox 64, including elements of Zero, and the movie explores Fox's origin. We would see how he became a pilot, brought back Star Fox, looked up to his dad, and how his dad's death affected him. In the film, Fox seeks to save the Lylat system from Andross and avenge his father's death. We also see Fox still not believing his father is gone but later accepts it, and his dad's spirit helps him in the end, and he honors his dad by keeping Star Fox alive. 


3. The film explores teamwork, friendship, and never giving up. 
The Star Fox movie focuses on teamwork, like Fox trying to be a leader and get his team to have each other's back. He's also got Peppy, another dad in his life who gives him advice about teamwork. Peppy is also the glue of the team and the most experienced pilot. He's best friends with Slippy and Falco but often tries to get them to listen to him, especially Falco.  One theme of this movie is about never giving up on your goals or friends. Like Fox's dad James tells Fox before he leaves for Venom, "Never give up. Trust your instincts." 


2. Fox would get a love interest in the next film, but it won't be based on Adventures.
Now in the games, Fox had a love interest that was Krystal. In the first film, Fox wouldn't get a love interest, but if they were a second film, Fox would have a romance with Krystal. However, I wouldn't make Star Fox 2 based on Adventures. I will explain how I would make a sequel. If Krystal were to be in the next movie as a love interest, I would rewrite her origin and make her a telepath, a bounty hunter whose running away from her past. We could have General Scales involved, but just call him Scales, and he's a better-written villain. So if there is a love interest for Fox, just make sure she works. 

1. If the movie was successful and spawned a sequel, it would have to be an original story. 
To make an excellent sequel to Star Fox, you need to get it right like we have not gotten a good solid follow-up to Star Fox. No liked Adventures because it was too Zelda, Assault, the bosses were too easy, and Command, those different endings were annoying. Although Star Fox Zero was good, even though it was a reboot, I still found it fun to play. So for Star Fox, I would say make an original story where maybe look at the Starlink game they did with Star Fox or something like that and Mass Effect 2. 
 Like the movie has Krystal, maybe Star Wolf is the film's villain, or you could make an original villain or include a villain like Scales but not waste him. Making a sequel to Star Fox is both challenging game and movie-wise because you need to get good writers and make sure the film pleases fans. 
The games also need to make a good Star-Fox sequel to a movie.

If I were to make a Star Fox follow-up game, I would use Mass Effect 2 for inspiration, and the game would have missions on arwings, land master, and on-foot missions. Also, give the game free play, explore the Lylat System and upgrade your weapons, arwings, land master, and Grey Fox. I also include Krystal, but like I did before, rewrite her, and in the game, you can recruit more team members like Krystal, Bill, Kate, Lucy, and Dash. For villains, I would make Star Wolf team the game's villains or maybe reintroduce General Scales but make him a better villain. So that's how I would make a Star Fox follow-up game and give it a Mass Effect vibe. 

So that's my Star Fox Movie Fan Cast and Ideas. Let me know what you think, and I would see Fox being part of Smash Bros because that series keeps Fox alive. 
Still, what do you want to see in a Star Fox movie?

My Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Once and Always Review

So I saw Power Rangers Once and Always. Here's my review of it...I had a fun time watching this. This film is so nostalgic. You will have a blast from the past with this movie. It's great seeing most of the original cast members of the first series. I think it's great to see Billy and Zack back as the Blue Ranger and Black Ranger again. The film also introduces Trini's daughter Minh played by Charlie Kersh. She's one of the best characters and learns being a hero isn't about getting revenge but about doing the right thing and saving a life. I enjoyed this film because it makes you feel like a kid again watching this. I think everyone did a good job playing their characters, and I got to tell ya, it's very nostalgic seeing the dino Megazord again, and the effects were better this time. 
It's so nostalgic to see all these actors again. 
They made our childhood awesome.
I give this film an 8 out of 10 and heads up, it's only 55 minutes, but it's a good movie to watch. I also loved the tribute dedicated to Jason David Frank and Thuy Trang, with the words Once a Ranger, Always Ranger.
