Questions after WandaVision Episode 8

1. Which side is Agatha on? Agatha leading Wanda back through previous horrors could be seen as trying to understand more about what makes her "tick", which could be read as her trying to help Wanda. But the episode ended with Agatha holding Wanda's kids hostage.  2. Where's Monica? After being caught by Pietro in the mid-credit scene in Episode 7, Monica is nowhere to be found in Episode 8. My guess is she'll show up in the finale in some form.  3. Will Billy and Tommy be okay? I hope so, especially considering that if Marvel's plans for the Young Avengers take shape I can see Tommy and Billy joining Hawkeye 's Kate Bishop, Ironheart 's Riri Williams and Ms. Marvel 's Imani Khan. The one upside I can see from their situation at the end of the most recent episode is I can see that as more of a "restrain" thing rather than the "absorbing the life force" thing Agatha did back in Salem at the beginning of the episode.  4. How exact...

Potential Friends Expansion Ideas

"Adventures of Science-Boy" Webcomic This comic book idea of Ross' was brought up in the season 9 episode The One with the Mugging with the superpower being "a superhuman thirst for knowledge".  It could be a good idea for a webcomic- I don't know if it would be as popular as Garfield or Peanuts or Family Circus or something like that but it would be a fun Easter egg for devoted Friends fans. *Plus, there's the long-term idea that it might end up in a newspaper if it's drawn professionally enough- I believe Kevin & Kell went that route. The Phoebe Buffay Songbook Any Friends fan will remember the scenes of Phoebe singing in Central Perk with her hilariously bad songs, but my idea involves actually giving those songs verses and making a songbook compilation (I just want to point out I'm not actually working on this, I just think it's a cool idea).  Take "Smelly Cat", for instance- that can be the first song in the book. So w...

A theory about the MCU

This is in keeping with the recently-released No Way Home title for Spider-Man 3 (keeping with the Home theme of the first two). Anyway, here's my theory (the final two WandaVision episodes notwithstanding): 1. The No Way Home title refers not only to Peter Parker (tying in with having his secret identity revealed at the end of Far From Home ) but also Wanda, and the movie will end fairly ambiguously. 2. I'm on the side of thinking that no previous Spider-Men will be introduced in Spider-Man 3, but the confirmed villains from previous iterations will appear and set up a multiverse opportunity down the line for the 2000s and 2010s Spider-Men to join Peter Parker of 2016 to now to deal with the problem.   And 3. The Doctor Strange sequel will tie the three-piece story ( WandaVision , Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ) neatly together.  Chime in in the comments.    

Just a list of ideas I have

1. A Coco stage musical 2. A Moana stage musical 3. A Mulan stage musical 4. Wii Summer Olympics and Wii Winter Olympics 5. A Coco sequel series on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network 6. A biography of Tony Stark 7. A biography of Steve Rogers  8. An actual hardcover Hogwarts: a History 9. A Disney+ adaptation of Quidditch through the Ages 10. Once the book is complete, a Hogwarts: a History TV series 11. A Disney+ adaptation of Chomp 12. A Disney+ adaptation of Flush 13. A Disney+ adaptation of Scat 14. Disney+ adaptations of The Limit and The Crunch   15. Disney+ adaptations of An Abundance of Katherines and Turtles All the Way Down 16. Netflix adaptations of Ford County Stories , The Rooster Bar and The Firm   17. A TV show reboot of The Big Green Add yours in the comments.   

Other MCU Questions

In the She-Hulk series, will we see Bruce Banner or Professor Hulk? And what has the Abomination been doing in the thirteen years since we last saw him?  Will a now-elderly Steve Rogers appear in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ?  Who will join Tommy, Billy, Kate, Imani and Riri in the Young Avengers?    Will Nick Fury/Talos/Peter Parker/Doctor Strange show up in the final two episodes of WandaVision ? Will there be a time jump?  Who will take up the Black Panther mantle in Black Panther II ? Will Spider-Man 3 actually have Spider-Men from previous series? How big of a role will  Ironheart 's Riri Williams have in the James Rhodes/War Machine-led  Armor Wars ?      Will Captain Marvel 2 shed some light on why Monica Rambeau didn't like hearing Carol's name? In the still-untitled Wakanda series, will it be set entirely after  Black Panther II  or will there be flashbacks to pre- Black Panther  Wakanda? Will Black ...

Potential The Hero and the Crown TV Show Adaptation- Pros and Cons

Pro: Until the final season, there was a big amount of enthusiasm for Game of Thrones. *So fans will respond positively to another series in the same vein.  Con: It's going to be a limited series if it does make it into the pre-production stage (explained below). Pro: There's a huge amount of world-building possible, from the characters and culture to the geography. Con: Unlike GoT's five or six books, THATC only has two books available, so going past two or maybe three seasons means no reference material. 

Godzilla v. Kong Idea

Animated Comic Book Adaptations According to sources, the Godzilla v. Kong release next month will be accompanied by multiple book releases including two comic books: Godzilla Dominion (aftermath of Godzilla: King of the Monsters ) and Kingdom Kong (sequel to Kong: Skull Island )  Why not adapt these comic books into animated movies or miniseries? *The writers and illustrators can put the movies or miniseries together.  *It would be a way to expand the audience of these works to people who don't read comic books as much but are still fans of the movie series.  What are the upsides and downsides of this idea? Would you watch an animated Godzilla Dominion and/or Kingdom Kong animated movie or series? Comment below.  

Young Avengers Assemble!

Who can be a part of the Young Avengers? *Depending, of course, if this is really the direction Marvel wants to go 1. Kate Bishop ( Hawkeye ) 2. Tommy and Billy (depending on how the final two WandaVision episodes go) 3. Imani Khan ( Ms. Marvel ) 4. Riri Williams ( Ironheart )  *The one flaw here- Tommy and Billy's disappearance notwithstanding- is the fact that Kate, Imani and Riri are unknown entities at this point However, I can most definitely see these five (Kate, Tommy, Billy, Imani and Riri) form a new team of Avengers. I think, though, that there's going to be a sixth at some point- maybe Cassie Lang? Maybe Morgan Stark? But that's only because the 2012 Avengers film featured six team members (Black Widow, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man and Thor).    Do you think this is Marvel's plan going forward? Comment below.    

From movies to musicals- which animated films can make the jump?

*The idea for this post came from a Buzzfeed article on the subject 1. Mulan *All-Asian cast or All-Chinese cast? Comment below. *For the "Reflection" scene, whoever plays Mulan can be sitting on the edge of the stage.  *Erhu (two-string violin) music should be used.  2. Coco *An all-Hispanic cast should be included. 3. Moana *"How Far I'll Go" should be the ending song for Act I. *Should Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson reprise their roles from the film, at least for the initial casting? Comment below.   4. The Nightmare before Christmas Add your ideas in the comments.  

Dream-casting a potential Pearls before Swine animated series

Look at some Pearls before Swine comic strips and comment your cast ideas below. *Also keep in mind these are anthropomorphic animals- their names firstly reflect their species   Adam Sandler as Pig Daniel Radcliffe as Rat Ryan Potter as Goat (or Chris Pratt, since Pratt and Holland voiced brothers in the 2020 film Onward and might have better chemistry together then Potter and Holland, who I don't think have acted together before. In the strips, Goat and Zebra get along better together than with Pig or Rat due to their personalities)   Tom Holland as Zebra Stephan Pastis (creator of the strip) as himself  Emma Watson as Pigita (Pig's Girlfriend) The Crocs Topher Grace as Junior Keegan-Michael Key as Larry Ashton Kutcher as Bob Kevin Hart as Guard Duck  Pete Davidson as Andy Sandra Bullock as Annie May, Pig's Sea Anemone Enemy Owen Wilson as Neighbor Bob

Dream-casting a potential Calvin and Hobbes animated series

Note these are just my picks for the main cast- i.e. the characters that stick around for the majority of the run of the strip  *Look up some Retail comic strips and add your choices in the comments Chris Pine as Stuart  Daisy Ridley as Marla Letitia Wright as Val Tom Holland as Cooper  

Questions about the MCU after Episode 7 of WandaVision

1. Are Agatha and Pietro working for S.W.O.R.D., is S.W.O.R.D. working for Agatha and Pietro, or is Agatha not-quite-a-villain-but-not-quite-a-hero? The end of Episode 7 revealed Agnes to be Agatha Harkness, and Pietro/Quiksilver also appeared to be on Agatha's side when he caught Monica snooping around in the post-credits scene. However, we still don't know what Agatha's true intentions are, exactly. She could be trying to help Wanda, or she could have a more sinister purpose.  2. Where exactly are Tommy and Billy? Episode 7 saw the twins over at Agnes/Agatha's house before disappearing, and no one seems to know where they went (although I'd like to think they escaped whatever's going on) 3. Are the Young Avengers still going to be a thing? I'd like to hope so- there was one team member announced previously (Kate Bishop in the upcoming Hawkeye series) and then Tommy and Billy in WandaVision , but that could change depending on the next two WV episodes *And...

Potential Book to TV Adaptation Pros and Cons- The Hero and the Crown

Book by Robin McKinley  Basic plot: The female heir of a fictional kingdom- ostracized somewhat because of her foreign looks- who decides to train herself to be a dragon hunter, including swordplay, combat on horseback and making a fireproof ointment.  Pro: Game of Thrones got an enthusiastic reception (aside from the final season), and this falls in essentially the same vein. Con: Unlike the Game of Thrones books, THATC only has one book of source material, so there would be only enough material for one season (maybe two but that's a stretch) despite the world that the book builds. Pro: The protagonist of the story goes against gender norms- especially those during medieval times.     

Potential Book/Cartoon to TV Adaptations- Chomp- Pros and Cons

Book by Carl Hiaasen Outline: What do you get when you throw a father/son animal wrangler duo with their mom in China, a girl in the son's class fleeing her abusive father, an egotistical man-child TV survivalist who's never actually camped out overnight, and the girl's drunk and pistol-wielding father into the Everglades? Lots of things.  Pro: Fans definitely won't be bored.  *I'm not going to spoil anything, but pretty much each character in their book has their own story and they have ways of interconnecting.  Con: A live-action version might have to wait, as the Everglades filming location and general close-quarters of it all might not be the best during COVID restrictions. *On the plus side, this gives a lot of time to get the scripts tip-top perfect and completely nail down both pre- and post-production.  Pro: It explores the meaning of friends as well as found family.  

Just some questions I have...

1. In WandaVision , can Tommy and Billy survive outside of Westview? If they can, they can potentially be the start of the Young Avengers (if that's where Marvel's going with all this, of course).  2. Will Ryan Coogler's as-yet-untitled Wakanda Disney+ series take place entirely after the events of Black Panther II or will some of it take place before Black Panther ? 3. Will the Black Widow film finally get into what happened in Budapest?  *MCU fans know what I'm talking about. 4. Seeing as how in-movie map coordinates in Zootopia placed the titular city somewhere around Los Angeles, will we be getting a similar Easter egg in Sing 2 that explains where the New Moon Theater is? 5. How exactly did Colette go from being a chef at a restaurant in Paris- albeit a successful one- at the end of the 2007 film Ratatouille to being on the cover of a magazine in Minnesota in the 2015 film Inside Out ? 6. Who else will be part of the MCU's Young Avengers? Right now I can s...

Some long-term ideas

Okay, so it turns out that there actually isn't a physical hardcover copy of Hogwarts: a History out yet. So my idea is this: 1. Someone writes a hardcover copy (someone not named J.K. Rowling) 2. Once the hardcover copy hits shelves, the next step is TV show scripts and an actual series.   I had an earlier blog post talking about potential books where Star Wars shooting scripts are rewritten in Shakespearean English and reworked so they could take place on stage (episode five has already been written and I don't know about the others): *I prefer Episode, but the original book uses Part, so just to keep things consistent let's do Part instead of Episode Part the First: The Menace Of The Phantom Part the Second: The Clones Doth Attack Part the Third: The Sith Doth Take Revenge Part the Fourth: A New Hope Doth Rise Part the Fifth: The Empire Striketh Back (already done) Part the Sixth: The Jedi Doth Return Part the Seventh: The Force Doth Awaken Part the Eighth: Jedi The Las...

Potential Curtis TV Series- Pros and Cons

Pro- The representation seen in the comic strip Pro- Not only the things they talk about in the strip but the fact that they're presented in a way that kids can relate to  Pro- An opportunity to revisit Obama's inauguration from Curtis' point of view  Lower down on the list of pros is a potential Beetle Bailey crossover- there's a Curtis strip that shows Cookie working as a chef in a local diner. Add yours in the comments.  

Potential Retail TV series- Animated or Otherwise- Pros and Cons

Pro- There's definite career movement and relationship progression among the characters throughout the series. *Promotions, temporary promotions, paid blogging, people moving in together, etc.  Con- There's already a comedy about store workers- Superstore . Pro- The positive reaction to Superstore might make it possible for another series. Another Pro- Retail looked at the daily lives of department store employees, including their economic struggles, including: -Needing a second job outside of the store to pay bills- at least three characters during the run of the strip.  -Struggling with financials after a hospital trip. I haven't watched Superstore a lot and I don't know if that series- popular as it is- looks at the outside-the-store lives of its employees, but Retail did. Showing their personal lives to the extent that the strip did could make a very interesting show.  Con, however- the Retail strip ended in February of last year, which means there's no new ...

Potential Beetle Bailey Animated TV series- Pros and Cons

Pro- The comic is still being produced. *Much like Baby Blues, we're still getting new content and the comic has no short-term plans to stop.  Con- The characters are mostly stagnant. *I don't mean stagnant like they're on an Army base; I mean stagnant like the fact that there's no career changes- and not much in terms of career ambitions, either, which might be a downside to some people. The main characters keep their same ranks, the camp cook hasn't left, etc.  Pro- Relatable characters.  Let's look at the main barracks- "A" barracks.  Beetle is lazy; Killer is a ladies' man; Cosmo is an entrepreneur; Plato is the philosopher of the group; Rocky is into rock music. Any number of people can relate to at least one of the characters. Neutral- There's a lot of animated material (short videos, and unaired TV special) and this might work better in live-action. What do you think? Would you like to see a TV series set at Camp Swampy? Comment below.  ...

Potential Baby Blues animated TV series- Pros and Cons

Pro- The cartoon has no plans to stop anytime soon.  *This means that there's plenty of material for episodes, both now and in the future. Con- This isn't the first form of entertainment multimedia to show the world from a kids' point of view. *There's the comic-strip-turned-TV-franchise Peanuts , the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes,  the TV show Rugrats , just to name a few.  Pro- This is a very long-haul comic but you do see the characters grow and develop. *Oldest child Zoe grows from a baby to a pre-kindergartner to a fourth-grader (and soccer player); while middle child Hammie goes from being a baby as well to being in second grade. Youngest child Wren is still a baby but has grown somewhat, even getting her first tooth, saying her first (bad) word, and sitting up on her own.    Pro- There's something in the show for the adults, as well. *Although the series is mainly looking at the world from a kid's point of view, we also see the parents' side of raisi...

Questions about the future of the MCU

1. Can Wanda's sons Tommy and Billy survive outside of Westview? We know Vision can't. 2. Is this the start of the Young Avengers (Tommy and Billy along with Kate Bishop from the upcoming Hawkeye series)?  *Although this is a moot point if Tommy and Billy can't survive outside of Westview  3. What exactly happened to Darcy at the end of WandaVision episode 6? We just saw her handcuffed to the truck as the Westview boundary approached.  4. Will the multiverse include previous Spider-Man iterations? We know this is possible thanks to the X-Men Quiksilver appearing instead of the MCU Quiksilver *This might not happen in Spider-Man 3 but maybe in an upcoming film.  5. Why hasn't Nick Fury appeared in WandaVision thus far? *Although he's still a Skrull in disguise 6. What's up with the S.W.O.R.D. director? Is he the villain? 7. And what's the deal with Agnes?    8. Will now-elderly Steve Rogers appear in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in an advisory rol...

Ideas for the Disney+ Lightning Thief series

Assuming they go past five seasons (which I hope they do) House of Hades (book nine): When Percy and Annabeth come across an underworld shrine to Pluto/Hades where things burnt on Earth end up, they should find Rachel Dawes' letter stating that she plans on marrying Harvey Dent (from The Dark Knight ).  Blood of Olympus (book ten): The same raft that Percy and Annabeth use to travel to Circe's Island in book two should be the same raft that Leo uses to sail away from Calypso's Island. 

Shakespearean Star Wars

Songwriters needed... again

Earlier today I was thinking some more about a potential Zootopia expansion involving actual albums from artists known in Zootopia, like Guns N' Rodents or The Beagles. I have the opening lyric for a Guns N' Rodents parody song called "Welcome to the Mousetrap", but I don't know how to finish it. Can anyone help? Welcome to the mousetrap, we've got cheese for you. Comment below. 

Ideas on expanding the Potterverse (quick list)

1. Any new works shouldn't have the input/writing/directing/producing/showrunning of J.K. Rowling 2. A hardcover Hogwarts: a History 3. A Disney+ adaptation of The Tales of Beedle the Bard 4. A Disney+ adaptation of Quidditch through the Ages *Both of these books are available on Amazon Why these in particular? *They were mentioned in the books or movies or both *A better way to expand the universe then move Fantastic Beasts films, which are "f******/messing around with established book/movie canon just to get sequels off the ground" in my own words  Add your ideas in the comments 

What do I want to see in the Harry Potter TV series?

If they're putting a series together where each book is one season and each chapter equates to one episode... Lavender Brown cast correctly at the start, and not just as an African-American girl in the second film. I think this one's self-explanatory.  A Chamber of Secrets Easter egg in the first season. When Harry and Ron are in the trophy room for a duel with Malfoy, the camera should linger on Tom Riddle's award.  Ernie Macmillan and Peeves. Ernie was one of the more pompous book characters alongside Percy, while Peeves' presence was effectively entirely limited to the books- both of which were a real shame.  I'd like to see book Harry and book Ron's characters a bit more. Harry did have a snarky side that the movies seemed to gloss over some times, while Ron's character became what was essentially comic relief in the movies.  *Plus Ron's crush on Madam Rosmerta would be really amusing to see on screen.  In what would be season six ( Half-Blood P...

About the Elder Wand...

You remember when Deathly Hallows Part 2 came out and everyone made a fuss- and still do- about Harry snapping the Elder Wand in half and just throwing it away instead of putting it back in Dumbledore's tomb? Here's my opinion- although I think the potential HBO TV adaptation should stick to the way the book played out, movie Harry didn't do anything wrong- here's why: The Elder Wand can only be won by besting the previous owner . This means that even if someone repaired the wand, they wouldn't be able to use it effectively because they didn't take it from Harry by force, like disarming him or something. So they've repaired it but they're using a wand that properly responds to someone else.

Potential Zootopia Expansion cont'd- from Moana to Meowana

One of Duke Weaselton's pirated movies as seen in the 2016 film Zootopia was Meowana, obviously a play on Moana . If Meowana was going to be made, there would need to some changes to the songs- I touched on this somewhat in a previous blog post about how- for the Floatzen-not-Frozen parody, "Let it Flow" (talking about rivers, ladies and gentlemen, keep it clean here) instead of "Let it Go", for example. Anyway, most of the songs don't need to be changed (the lyrics would just need to be cat-oriented) but I could see "How Far I'll Go" being changed to "How Long I'll Meow". Comment down below on if you think any of the songs from Moana would need to be changed title-wise.

A potential Calvin and Hobbes spinoff story

This is just my idea for the framework of a story- I'm not working on it, keep that in mind, but here's five things I have so far. 1. Calvin and Susie are both rising twelfth graders. 2. With one season of high school lacrosse left, Susie is third all-time in school history in goals, second all-time in assists and climbing the top ten ranks in ground balls. In addition, she's 4-0 in her career as a goalie having saved 62 of 74 shots.  3. Calvin, meanwhile, is a sprint swimmer who holds three freshman records, four sophomore records and two junior records and has won three state and six region titles (yes, I'm saying that Calvin went from hating swim lessons to being a champion swimmer).  4. Calvin and Susie have started putting together Spaceman Spiff comics, with Calvin lettering and Susie providing the artwork. At the start of the story, they have one ready to be published and two in the final edit phase.  5. In her seventh year of being a teacher, Rosalyn transfers t...

More potential ideas- comment below

1. This might just be me, but I'd love to see an actual performance of Twinkle Towne from High School Musical . The movie had sort of an outline of what it might be with various props and the two songs. 2. Noises Off was a stage play before it was adapted into a 1992 film starring Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve and Carol Burnett. But if you look at the script for the stage production there's actually a play-within-a-play called Nothing On. There's only one act at the moment but I think there's a ton of potential there if someone could write down act one and write up a concluding act.  3. I don't know if anyone's read Short Plays for Young Actors but there's one called The Pot Boiler , where an established playwright shows an up-and-coming playwright his newest (unfinished) play during a rehearsal. I thought of two ways to expand on this short play- (a) write it into a short film and (b) write out the play-within-the-play and try to resolve the conflict. ...

Potential Zootopia Album Ideas, cont'd

The Beagles (a parody of the Beatles) "I Want to Hold your Paw" instead of "I Want to Hold your Hand" Fur Fighters (a parody of Foo Fighters) "My Hamster" instead of "My Hero" "Capuchin Monkey Wrench" instead of "Monkey Wrench"  "Waiting on a Weasel" instead of "Waiting on a War"  Guns N' Rodents (a parody of Guns N' Roses) "Sweet Mouse O' Mine" instead of "Sweet Child O' Mine" "Welcome To The Mousetrap" instead of "Welcome To The Jungle"  Kanine West (a parody of Kanye West) "Wolves are my Cousins" instead of just "Wolves" "Gold Bone Digger" instead of just "Gold Digger" "Runaway Dogs" instead of "Runaway" "Norwich Terriers in Paris" would replace "N-words in Paris"  "No More Dog Food in L.A." instead of "No More Parties in L.A." 

Potential Zootopia Expansion Idea, cont'd

Does anyone remember the scene in Zootopia where we see Duke Weaselton's pirated movies? What would be plot synopses for these films? Comment below.  Floatzen (a parody of Frozen) *Let it Flow could potentially be a feature song instead of Let it Go (and just to keep it clean, guys, it's talking about a river- just want to point that out) Meowana (a parody of Moana)   Pig Hero 6 (a parody of Big Hero 6) Wreck-It Rhino (a parody of Wreck-It Ralph)  *For which a sequel title could be  "Rhino  Actually Does   Break the Internet"  

Calling all Songwriters

One of the Zootopia expansion ideas that I'd mentioned in a previous post revolved around potential albums with songs from the musical artists Judy scrolls through on her train ride into Zootopia. What I think would be a super cool idea would be to write songs that the Zootopia artists would write and put actual albums together. Here's a list for reference, from the Zootopia IMDB trivia page: Black Sable (Sabbath) Catty (Katy) Perry Destiny's Cub (Child) Ewe (U) 2  Fleetwood Yak (Mac) Fur (Foo) Fighters Guns N' Rodents (Roses) Hyena (Selena) Gomez Kanine (Kanye) West Mick Jaguar (Jagger) The Beagles (Beatles)  *Please note I'm not currently doing this, I just think it would be cool if someone worked on it.    

What do I want to see in the Zootopia sequel/Zootopia+?

*Add yours in the comments 1. The daughter of Mr. Big's daughter, of which Judy Hopps is the godmother (as mentioned in the original film) 2. What kind of a godmother is Judy H.? Is she actively in Judy II's life? 3. Did any other predator animals join the police academy? 4. In Zootopia+, I'd like to see the start of Nick's Pawpsicle business. Where/when did he first get the idea? When did he start working with Finnick? In the movie sequel, are they still selling Pawpsicles?  5. Did the ice cream shop Judy flag in the original movie clean up their act or did they get shut down? 6. What happened to Gideon's baked goods business? The Zootopia+ series could look at actually how he started it  7. In the upcoming series, I'd like a more detailed look at each of the different regions of Zootopia then we got in the film 

Potential projects I'd like to see happen

This will be just a big list, with no explanations- comment down below And these are things I'd like to see happen, not that I'm actually working on  1. An actual, hardback Hogwarts: a History  2. A Disney+ series adapting the Harry Potter companion book Quidditch through the Ages 3. A hardcover biography of Tony Stark 4. An animated Disney+ series showing how Zootopia and Bunnyburrow came to be, or include this in the upcoming Zootopia+ series  5. Continuing on the Zootopia theme, actual albums from the Fur (Foo) Fighters and Catty (Katy) Perry and the other animal artists seen in the film 6. An animated documentary or docuseries showing how Colette from Ratatouille went from being one chef of hundreds in Paris to being on a magazine cover in Minnesota 7. Stage musical versions of Moana and The Greatest Showman 8. Some of the old-school quests back in RuneScape , but keep the same graphics they have now 9.

Potential Non-Arrowverse Crossover Idea

Borrowing from the 5th Wave movie, a really cool potential idea would be an hourlong special ( potentially from 9p Eastern to 10p Eastern one night? Maybe?) detailing the alien ship from that film passing over the various states in the U.S. This would be a BEHEMOTH ship, as the width would easily be the length from the Canada-Washington border to the very southern tip of California.  9p-9:20p- My idea would have it first move over Los Angeles ( 9-1-1 ) and Seattle ( Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 ) simultaneously.  9:20p-9:40p- Next, Texas would see it, which would bring 9-1-1: Lone Star into the mix.  And the final twenty minutes of the hour would see the Chicago trio (Fire, Med and P.D.) see the ship pass over Illinois.  I just had this idea last night and it might be super complicated but also super cool to pull off, as it would need the cooperation of seven different writers' rooms and also potentially three different TV networks (see below): 9p-9:20p: 9-1-1 ...

Continued thoughts on the Disney+ Percy Jackson series

First, why not change the logo/title to "Half-Blood Chronicles"? In addition to completely distancing the series from the "films" in this regard- especially with the logo looking distressingly similar to the logo of the 2013 "film"- it would show the demigod world as bigger than just as how Percy Jackson sees it, while opening the door to continue longer than five seasons (which I'd totally watch, even if it went through all fifteen books).  Potential Non-Context Music Choices "Dumbledore's Farewell" from Half-Blood Prince "Courtyard Apocalypse" from Deathly Hallows Part 2 "Harry in Winter" from Goblet of Fire "Window to the Past" from Prisoner of Azkaban The first couple seconds on a loop of "Broomsticks and Fire" from Deathly Hallows Part 2   

Thoughts on the Disney+ Percy Jackson series

This is going to be a hot-button topic but I think that Logan Lerman should not be included in the cast of the series- he was incredible in Hoot and arguably one of if not the only good part of the two Lightning Thief "films" but I'm of the opinion that the TV series should completely distance itself from the previous iterations and that includes the cast, including Leven Rambin, Brandon T. Jackson and Alexandria Daddario. *This is a very rare compliment I'll give the first "film", but Pierce Brosnan was a good Chiron- one of the few ways where casting was spot-on; but even so, seeing as how he starred in the first film I don't think he should be in the series. The same goes for Stanley Tucci as Mr. D in the 2013 "film", even though he was a good Dionysus.  Another hot-button topic, but I'm of the opinion (as stated previously) that casting for the series should be based on where the characters are from in the books: NYC for Percy Rich...
