Eu tenho quase 30 anos, e tirar a carta era basicamente um dos meus objetivos de vida, já que não o fiz mais cedo por não ter dinheiro suficiente, além disso quase ninguém na minha familia tem carro. O problema é que já vou na 11° aula prática e sinto-me a pessoa mais burra à face da terra.
O meu instrutor é uma pessoa extremamente calma, e eu fui capaz de lhe tirar do sério com os meus erros. Hoje tive uma aula com ele, e ouvi-o suspirar inúmeras vezes, até que levei alto sermão quando terminámos a aula.
O meu maior problema é a lentidão na hora de realizar as mudanças, também tenho imensa dificuldade em a descobrir o ponto perfeito da embraiagem e inconscientemente tiro os pés dos pedais, ou coloco os pés no pedal errado.
Eu entro no carro todo nervoso, já a suar, e simplesmente não consigo focar-me no que o instrutor diz, e no que devo fazer ao mesmo tempo. Eu na teoria sei o que deve ser feito, mas chega na hora e o meu cérebro faz algo totalmente diferente.
O meu instrutor já me disse: "Tu sabes que não sabes fazer as coisas, mas não admites. Ficas a lutar contigo mesmo e a pensar que por teres terminado um curso difícil na faculdade, que é suposto saberes fazer estes passos tão simples de cada vez."
E hoje disse-me que eu tento imitar os outros que têm os movimentos automatizados, mas acabo por falhar porque ao contrário deles, eu ainda não tenho isto automatizado. E que eu deveria errar mais vezes para aprender, porque há vezes que eu não tento, ou tento fazer as coisas de maneira perfeita
Eu concordo com ele em alguns desses pontos. Tirando o facto de eu não admitir que eu não sei fazer as coisas, porque sempre fui bastante inseguro em relação a tudo.
Neste momento estou extremamente insatisfeito comigo mesmo, e não faço a mínima ideia do porquê de eu não conseguir fazer os passos que me pedem.
Embora já tenha gasto imenso dinheiro sinto que talvez o melhor seja desistir porque não estou a ver isto a dar certo, e não me tem ajudado muito psicologicamente, sempre que vou ter aula fico com uma ansiedade tremenda. Além disso não quero matar velhinhas na rua por puro descuido meu.
Pessoal, saiu o resultado preliminar do BNB, não consegui ficar em uma posição boa para assumir cargo nem nada, mas como primeiro concurso, gostaria de pedir ajuda, na visão de vocês, de como foi meu resultado e como melhorar para concursos que eu venha fazer posteriormente na área bancária.
Estudei durante dois meses e meio, apenas para conhecimentos bancários, assunto que nunca tinha visto na vida.
Em matemática não deu tempo de fazer quase nada, pois deixei ela por último e, infelizmente, só acertei as únicas três questões que fiz (nem pra chutar eu sirvo kkk), apesar de ter certa facilidade com matemática, eu não consegui me dar bem, porém, tenho certeza que se eu me dedicasse num todo, teria ido bem.
Em Português eu só não gabaritei por descuido, mas acho que fui bem.
Resultado da minha prova:
9/10 - português; 3/10 - matemática; 32/40 - conhecimentos bancários; totalizando 76/100
Resultado preliminar: 3675° na AC (na minha cabeça foi um péssimo desempenho)
Com isso, gostaria de dicas do que fazer para o concurso do BB e saber se realmente fui tão ruim como estou pensando que fui
Desde já, agradeço as respostas!
Community, I share this image where I managed to get Brock, Keesha, Vic and Isaac at the same time, I tried to get the 12 survivors that in theory could be obtained in Heartland, only missing Chavez, Logan and the hacker (I don't know how to write their name) since the mission does not seem to me to recruit any of them and with Captain Logan he simply tells me that my community is full, because what seems impossible to me is to get the 12 survivors in Heartland, it saddens me a little since I believed it possible when I started this personal challenge 3 weeks ago, but hey, if you know of a way to achieve it, please comment.
Here's a new edition of "Directors at the Box Office", which seeks to explore the directors' trajectory at the box office and analyze their hits and bombs. I already talked about a few, and as I promised, it's Richard Donner's turn.
Initially, Donner wanted to develop a career as an actor. He gained a bit part in a television program directed by Martin Ritt, who encouraged Donner to become a director instead, and he hired Donner as his assistant. Through his connections in Desilu, he started directing commercials. In the 60s, he transitioned into television, directing episodes for shows like
The Twilight Zone,
The Fugitive,
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,
Get Smart, and
Gilligan's Island. Afterwards, he had his chance to direct films.
From a box office perspective, how reliable was he to deliver a box office hit?
That's the point of this post. To analyze his career.
It should be noted that as he started his career in the 1960s, the domestic grosses here will be adjusted by inflation. The table with his highest grossing films, however, will be left in its unadjusted form, as the worldwide grosses are more difficult to adjust.
X-15 (1961)
"Actually filmed in space!" His directorial debut. It stars David McLean, Charles Bronson, James Gregory and Mary Tyler Moore, and presents a fictionalized account of the X-15 research rocket aircraft program, the test pilots who flew the aircraft, and the associated NASA community that supported the program.
There are no box office numbers available, but it is said that it had a short and poor theatrical run. Reviews were mixed, and Moore said she's not proud of the film.
Salt and Pepper (1965)
"Join the club." His second film. It stars Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Michael Bates, Ilona Rodgers and John Le Mesurier, and follows two nightclub owners finding themselves in trouble over a woman's death.
It received mixed reviews, and it earned $1.75 million in rentals.
- Budget: N/A.
- Domestic gross: $1,750,000 in rentals. ($17.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $1,750,000.
Lola (1970)
"It may be love... but it's definitely exhausting!" His third film. It stars Charles Bronson and Susan George, and follows a 38-year-old writer of pornographic novels who meets and falls in love with a sixteen-year-old school girl whilst living in London.
There are no box office figures, but you can be sure of something: it was panned by everyone.
The Omen (1976)
"If something frightening happens to you today, think about it." His fourth film. It stars Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Harvey Spencer Stephens, Billie Whitelaw, Patrick Troughton, Martin Benson, and Leo McKern. The film's plot follows Damien Thorn, a young child replaced at birth by his father, unbeknownst to his wife, after their biological child dies shortly after birth. As a series of mysterious events and violent deaths occur around the family and Damien enters childhood, they come to learn he is in fact the prophesied Antichrist.
Producer Harvey Bernhard came up with the idea for a film about the Antichrist after talking with one of his friends. WB was on board, but they later pulled out, so 20th Century Fox agreed to distribute the film. Donner favored an ambiguous reading of the script under which it would be left for the audience to decide whether Damien was the Antichrist or whether the series of violent deaths in the film were all just a string of unfortunate accidents. Seltzer rejected the ambiguity favored by Donner and pressed for an interpretation of his script that left no doubt for the audience that Damien Thorn was the Antichrist and that all of the deaths in the film were caused by the malevolent power of Satan, the interpretation that Bernhard chose to go with.
There were some... dark stories over the making of the film. Some aren't confirmed, but others are verified. So take the following with huge grains of salt.
In September 1975, Peck was flying to London, and during the flight, lightning struck the plane. Shortly after, executive producer Mace Neufeld's plane was also struck by lightning while en route to Los Angeles. That's twice in a span of only a few weeks. Then, writer David Seltzer's plane was also struck by lightning. And, while filming in Rome, lightning narrowly missed striking Bernhard. Lightning may never strike twice, but four times, and to different people whose only six degrees of separation at the time was
The Omen? Oh, it gets even creepier. A scene was postponed, which meant Peck was not needed on the set, so a private jet that the crew was going to charter to bring Peck in was not necessary. The next day, it was reported that the plane they had intended to book hit a flock of birds and crashed, killing everyone on board.
Neufeld, probably already on edge after his plane was struck by lightning, was planning to eat at a restaurant nearby, but it was hit by an IRA bombing. The day after filming, the hotel that Donner had stayed at was also bombed.
John Richardson, the set designer, created a particularly macabre scene where a character dies from decapitation resulting from an automobile accident. While in Holland in August 1976, Richardson and his assistant, Liz Moore, were struck by a freakishly unfortunate fate. They fell victims to a head-on-collision, where Moore was cut in half, in similar fashion to the one Richardson had designed for the film. It happened in a Friday the 13th, near a road sign which says: “Ommen, 66.6 km.”
Does that send you shivers down your spine?
Is all of this true? I... I'm not sure. I don't fully believe it. But I also don't fully
not believe it. Whatever the case, it's truly one of the most insane behind-the-scenes stuff.
After a slate of weak films, Donner finally got his big break here. The film earned $78 million worldwide, becoming a huge box office success. While it initially received mixed reviews, its reputation grew with time and it has been named as one of the best horror films of the 1970s. It would spawn a franchise, but Donner didn't return for the director's chair. Why? He was preparing for something super.
- Budget: $2,800,000.
- Domestic gross: $60,922,980. ($335.7 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $78,722,980.
Superman (1978)
"You'll believe a man can fly." His fifth film. Based on the DC Comics character, it stars Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve, Jeff East, Margot Kidder, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Trevor Howard, Marc McClure, Terence Stamp, Valerie Perrine, Ned Beatty, Jack O'Halloran, Maria Schell, and Sarah Douglas. It depicts the origin of Superman, including his infancy as Kal-El of Krypton, son of Jor-El, and his youthful years in the rural town of Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered disposition in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane while battling the villainous Lex Luthor.
Ilya Salkind had first conceived the idea for a Superman film in late 1973, and he bought the rights with his father Alexander the following year. DC wanted a list of actors that were to be considered for Superman, and approved the producer's choices of Muhammad Ali, Al Pacino, James Caan, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman. The filmmakers felt it was best to film
Superman and
Superman II back-to-back, and to make a negative pickup deal with Warner Bros. To show how serious he was, Alexander hired Mario Puzo (
The Godfather) and paid him $600,000 to write the script.
Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, William Friedkin, Richard Lester, Peter Yates, John Guillermin, Ronald Neame and Sam Peckinpah were in negotiations to direct. Ilya wanted to hire Steven Spielberg to direct, but Alexander was skeptical, feeling it was best to "wait until [Spielberg's] big fish opens." His film,
Jaws, became the highest grossing film ever, and the Salkinds offered him the job, but by that point Spielberg chose to make
Close Encounters of the Third Kind instead. Guy Hamilton was hired, but left before filming due to legal issues. After seeing
The Omen, the producers offered the job to Donner. He was planning to direct the
Omen sequel, but decided to take
Superman instead. Donner was dissatisfied with the campy script and brought in Tom Mankiewicz to perform a rewrite to start from scratch. According to Mankiewicz, "not a word from the Puzo script was used."
Before Donner signed, the film already cast Marlon Brando as Jor-El in 1975. And his terms were insane; top billing, a salary of $3.7 million and 11.75% of the box office gross profits (totaling $19 million), and his scenes had to be filmed in 12 days. He also refused to memorize his dialogue, so cue cards were compiled across the set. Hackman was cast as Lex Luthor days later, getting a $2 million salary. The filmmakers made it a priority to shoot all of Brando's and Hackman's footage "because they would be committed to other films immediately."
The first plan was for a famous star to play Superman, although Robert Redford, Burt Reynolds, Sylvester Stallone and Paul Newman all declined. When Donner signed, he decided to get an unknown actor. Reeve was suggested, but Donner and the producers felt he was too young and skinny. When other actors weren't convincing, they decided to give a screen test to Reeve. They wanted him to wear a muscle suit, but Reeve instead decided to take a strict physical exercise regime headed by David Prowse. After gaining enough weight, he was cast. Compared to Brando and Hackman, Reeve was paid just $250,000 for
Superman and its sequel.
Filming began in March 1977, and it lasted 19 months because they were filming two films. The budget was $55 million ($303 million adjusted), which made it the most expensive film by that point. Warner Bros. only planned to distribute the film in North America, but was so impressed by the Krypton sequence, that they decided to distribute it worldwide. It was supposed to last eight months, but there were conflicts on set.
Donner had tensions with the Salkinds and producer Pierre Spengler concerning the escalating production budget and the shooting schedule. Richard Lester, who worked with the Salkinds on
The Three Musketeers and
The Four Musketeers, was then brought in as a temporary co-producer to mediate the relationship between Donner and the Salkinds, who by now were refusing to talk to each other. On his relationship with Spengler, Donner remarked, "At one time if I'd seen him, I would have killed him." Due to this, they decided to stop filming back-to-back with the sequel, and Donner was assigned to finish the first film. By that point, 75% was already shot by Donner.
The film opened with $7.4 million in its first weekend, despite playing at just 508 theaters, breaking a record for Warner Bros. As it expanded, it earned $10.3 million in its third weekend, which was the biggest weekend in history. Through the December 22-28 week, it earned a colossal $18.5 million, a figure that no film achieved in just 7 days. It eventually closed its domestic run with $134 million. And WB was right in believing in its worldwide prospects, as the film earned a huge $300 million, becoming their highest grossing film.
The film also received critical acclaim, and it has been named as one of the best films of the 1970s. It won a Special Oscar for its Visual Effects. The film was deemed a cultural landmark for comic books, and it has been proclaimed by many as perhaps the most influential comic book film ever. For the world finally believed that, indeed, a man could fly.
With this, Superman was finally an icon on the big screen. While Donner filmed 75% of
Superman II, he was controversially fired before resuming his duties. There would be more Superman films in subsequent years (including one next year), but none have captured the cultural zeitgeist that this one achieved.
- Budget: $55,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $134,478,449. ($646.7 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $300,478,449.
Inside Moves (1980)
"It'll make you feel good, and that ain't bad." His sixth film. Based on the novel by Todd Walton, it stars John Savage, David Morse, Diana Scarwid, and Amy Wright. It follows a man who became crippled after a failed suicide attempt, and he turns to drink, favoring a local dive bar frequented by the handicapped. There, he befriends the bartender, an ex-basketball player saving up for corrective surgery in hopes of returning to the court, and meets a kind young lady who aids him with his physical and mental rehabilitation.
Donner states that he agreed to direct the film only to take his mind off being fired and replaced from
Superman II. He referred to the film as "the smallest film I could do that was just very near and dear to me, at that point, and I felt this is going to take my mind totally off that."
It received mixed reviews, and made just $1.2 million at the box office.
- Budget: N/A.
- Domestic gross: $1,200,000. ($4.5 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $1,200,000.
The Toy (1982)
"When Jackie Gleason told his son he could have any present he wanted, he picked the most outrageous gift of all... Richard Pryor." His seventh film. The film stars Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason and Scott Schwartz, and follows a janitor at a department store. The owner's son is told that he may have anything in the toy department. He chooses the janitor, who the owner pays to spend a week with the boy.
The film was panned by critics, and was named as one of the worst films of the year. But with $47 million at the box office, it was still a success.
- Budget: $17,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $47,118,057. ($153 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $47,118,057.
The Goonies (1985)
"Join the adventure." His eighth film. The film stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, Ke Huy Quan, John Matuszak, Anne Ramsey, Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano and Mary Ellen Trainor. In the film, a group of kids who live in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, attempt to save their homes from foreclosure and, in doing so, they discover an old treasure map that takes them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th-century pirate. During the adventure, they are pursued by a family of criminals who want the treasure for themselves.
Donner noted both the difficulties and pleasures of working with so many child actors. He praised them for their energy and excitement, but also said that they were also unruly when brought together. While Donner is credited as the director, some have referred to producer Steven Spielberg as co-director.
The film received a great response, and after a slate of weak films, Donner bounced back with a much needed box office hit. The film was very influential, and it helped launch the careers of many of its stars.
- Budget: $19,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $63,711,145. ($185.6 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $124,311,145.
Ladyhawke (1985)
"A magical adventure." His ninth film. The film stars Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. The story is about a young thief who becomes unwillingly involved with a warrior and his lady who are hunted by the Bishop of Aquila. As he learns about the couple's past and secret, he chooses to help them overcome the Bishop's forces, and to lift an infernal curse.
It received mixed reviews, and it failed to recoup its $20 million budget.
- Budget: $20,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $18,432,000. ($53.7 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $18,432,000.
Lethal Weapon (1987)
"Two cops. Glover carries a weapon. Gibson is one. He's the only L.A. cop registed as a..." His tenth film. It stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Tom Atkins, Darlene Love, and Mitchell Ryan. The film follows a pair of mismatched LAPD detectives — Martin Riggs, a former Green Beret who has become suicidal following the death of his wife, and veteran officer and family man Roger Murtaugh — who work together as partners.
Recent UCLA graduate Shane Black wrote the screenplay in mid-1985. Black stated that his intention was to do an "urban western" inspired by
Dirty Harry where a violent character "reviled for what he did, what he is capable of, the things he believed in" is eventually recruited for being the one that could solve the problem. His first draft was quite different from the final film; it was darker in tone and it included massive action scale sequences. The ending of the script contained a chase scene with helicopters and a trailer truck full of cocaine exploding over Hollywood Hills with cocaine snowing over the Hollywood sign.
The script was rejected by some studios, but Warner Bros. took an interest. Producer Joel Silver was brought in and worked with Black to further develop the script. Donner also brought in writer Jeffrey Boam to do some uncredited re-writes on Black's script after he found parts of it to be too dark. Donner got Gibson involved, while someone else suggested Danny Glover. After a successful screen test, the film was greenlit.
The film was a huge hit, earning $120 million worldwide and continued launching the careers of Gibson and Glover, even if they already had a few recognizable titles by that point. It also received very positive reviews, and was another prime example of the buddy cop genre. Another Donner W.
- Budget: $15,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $65,207,127. ($179.9 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $120,207,127.
Scrooged (1988)
"The spirits will move you in odd and hysterical ways." His 11th film. Based on the novella
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, it stars Bill Murray, Karen Allen, John Forsythe, John Glover, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard, and Alfre Woodard. The film is a modern retelling that follows Frank Cross, a cynical and selfish television executive who is visited by a succession of ghosts on Christmas Eve intent on helping him regain his Christmas spirit.
After
Ghostbusters, Murray only took a brief appearance in
Little Shop of Horrors and chose to take a break. When he did feel a desire to return to acting, he said the "scripts were just not that good", and he returned to the this project as he found the idea of making a funny Scrooge appealing. Murray was paid $6 million for his role. He helped the writers, Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue, in rewriting.
Murray struggled with a scene where he reveals his redemption live on TV. Wanting a central acting moment, however, Murray gave an emotional and intense performance, deviating from his marked positions and improvising his speech. Glazer and O'Donoghue thought that the actor was suffering a mental breakdown. After he was finished, the crew applauded Murray, but O'Donoghue remarked "What was that? The Jim Jones hour?" Donner turned and punched O'Donoghue in the arm, leaving him bruised for a week.
Despite the commitment, however, there was drama behind the scenes. Murray said that while he was enjoying the experience of the script and having fun as "the meanest person in the world", he found the production "sloppy" and has expressed unhappiness with the final cut. For his part, O'Donoghue later said that Donner did not understand comedy, omitting the script's subtler elements for louder and faster moments. He estimated that only 40% of his and Glazer's original script made it into the final film and the surviving content was "twisted". Murray was also not content with Donner, "
Scrooged could have been a really, really great movie. The script was so good... He kept telling me to do things louder, louder, louder. I think he was deaf." Donner, meanwhile, has a much more positive memory of Murray, calling him "superbly creative but occasionally difficult - as difficult as any actor."
The film received polarizing reactions, particularly for the tone. But as it was Murray's follow-up to
Ghostbusters, it made $100 million worldwide, making it a box office success. In subsequent years, it has become a Christmas classic.
- Budget: $32,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $60,328,558. ($159.8 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $100,328,558.
Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
"The magic is back." His 12th film. The second installment in the
Lethal Weapon franchise, it stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Joss Ackland, Derrick O'Connor and Patsy Kensit. In the film, Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh protect an irritating federal witness, Leo Getz, while taking on a gang of South African drug dealers hiding behind diplomatic immunity.
After the first film's success, Joel Silver asked Shane Black to write a sequel. Although he was struggling with personal issues, Black still managed to write the first draft along with his friend, novelist Warren Murphy. Although many people thought that their script was brilliant, it was rejected by Silver, Donner and the studio for being too dark and bloody, and because in the ending of the script Riggs dies, while they wanted to keep him alive in case of further sequels. They also wanted the second film to focus more on comedy, while Black's draft focused more on courage and heroics, like Riggs willing to die to protect Murtaugh and his family, due to his love for them.
When his script was rejected, Black felt that he had failed the producers. Black refused to re-write the script and quit from the project after working for six months on it. Black later said how the problem with the second film was that they did too much comedy, and how he dislikes the third and fourth films because of the way Riggs's character was changed. Donner got Jeffrey Boam back to rewrite, and one of the biggest changes was expanding Leo Getz's character.
The film received very great reviews, and saw a big increase from the original, earning $227 million worldwide.
- Budget: $30,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $147,253,986. ($372.3 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $227,853,986.
Radio Flyer (1992)
"Powered by imagination." His 13th film. The film stars Lorraine Bracco, John Heard, Elijah Wood, Joseph Mazzello, Adam Baldwin, and Ben Johnson and is narrated by Tom Hanks. Two young boys try to transform their toy into an airplane after their stepfather turns abusive. They wish to escape the physical abuse and fly away to safety.
The film received negative reviews, and it barely got 10% of its budget. Luckily for Donner, he had another film for that year.
- Budget: $35,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $4,651,977. ($10.3 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $4,651,977.
Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)
"The magic is back again." His 14th film. The third installment in the
Lethal Weapon franchise, it stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, and Stuart Wilson. In the film, Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh pursue Jack Travis, a former LAPD lieutenant turned ruthless arms dealer, during the six days prior to Murtaugh's retirement. Riggs and Murtaugh are joined by Leo Getz as well as internal affairs Sergeant Lorna Cole.
Jeffrey Boam's first two drafts of the script were different from the final film. The character of Lorna for example was not a woman in original drafts, but the original character still had the same personality and was just as lethal and crazy as Riggs, making him his match. Riggs also had an affair with Roger's daughter Rianne, and a few parts in the final film where Roger suspects that Riggs and Rianne are interested in each other are only parts left from the original drafts. Donner demanded some big changes on the script which included changing the original character of Lorna into a woman and turning her into Riggs's girlfriend. He also re-worked the script to be less story-oriented and not focus on the main villains but instead on the relationship between Riggs and Murtaugh. He also toned down action scenes from the script and brought back Leo Getz into the story. All of his scenes were written in afterwards.
The film received mixed reviews and was considered as weaker than the previous films. But it still earned $320 million worldwide, becoming the highest grossing film in the franchise and Donner's highest grossing film (although
Superman still has that title adjusted for inflation).
- Budget: $35,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $144,731,527. ($323.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $321,731,527.
Maverick (1994)
"In their hands, a deck of cards was the only thing more dangerous than a gun." His 15th film. Based on the 1957–1962 television series, it stars Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner (who starred in the original series). The film follows Bret Maverick, a card player and con artist who collects money in order to enter a high-stakes poker game. He is joined in his adventure by Annabelle Bransford, another con artist, and Marshal Zane Cooper, a lawman.
The film received positive reviews, and was another great success at the box office, earning $183 million worldwide.
- Budget: $75,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $101,631,272. ($215 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $183,031,272.
Assassins (1995)
"In the shadows of life, in the business of death, one man found a reason to live..." His 16th film. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, and Julianne Moore. Professional hit-man Robert Rath wants to fulfill a few more contracts before retiring but unscrupulous ambitious newcomer hit-man Miguel Bain keeps killing Rath's targets.
The film was panned by critics, and was a box office flop.
- Budget: $50,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $30,303,072. ($62.3 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $83,306,268.
Conspiracy Theory (1997)
"Jerry Fletcher sees conspiracies everywhere... one has turned out to be true. Now his enemies want him dead. And she's the only one he can trust." His 17th film. It stars Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts and Patrick Stewart, and centers on an eccentric taxi driver who believes many world events are triggered by government conspiracies, and the Justice Department attorney who becomes involved in his life.
The film received mixed reviews, and despite earning $137 million worldwide, it wasn't a box office success due to its high budget.
- Budget: $80,000,000.
- Domestic gross: $75,982,834. ($148.4 million adjusted)
- Worldwide gross: $136,982,834.
Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
"The gang's all here." His 18th film. The fourth and final installment in the
Lethal Weapon franchise, it stars Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Chris Rock, and Jet Li. It follows Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh as they investigate a Chinese immigrant smuggling ring. A crime boss named Benny Chan leads them to the Chinatown.
Wanting another film in the franchise, Warner Bros. and Joel Silver tried buying a new spec script titled
Simon Says in hopes of rewriting it into a script for
Lethal Weapon 4. Written by Jonathan Hensleigh, the story was about a police detective and a shop owner forced to find and stop bombs planted all over a city as part of a mad bomber's revenge plot against the detective. 20th Century Fox then bought the script, and decided to use it as the basis for a new
Die Hard film,
Die Hard with a Vengeance. Donner was committed to another film, but Gibson was not interested.
The film had a very difficult pre-production, as the script was still being re-written and rejected. Silver ultimately brought in TV writer Channing Gibson to work on the script, after he was impressed by Gibson's rewrite of a spec script titled
Sandblast. Gibson took the gig thinking it would be a more relaxed writing job than anything he did for TV. However, much like the previous two sequels, the script kept getting changed and rewritten over and over again. Gibson would end up doing more work and revisions on it than on all of his TV work put together. Production even started with only half of the script.
Something you might have noticed, is that the budget was far larger than the previous films. While the previous two films cost $30-$35 million,
Lethal Weapon 4 had a budget of... $150 million ($288 million adjusted). Which means that at that point, it was the most expensive R-rated film ever and the third most expensive film, just behind
Titanic and
Waterworld. Why? Because the delays kept coming... but Warner Bros. was desperate in greenlighting the film. Realizing they had no big tentpole releases scheduled for summer 1998, Warner Bros. finally greenlit the film in late 1997. So they opened all their wallets and started shooting in January 1998, despite having one third of the film not written yet, including the ending. Due to issues during filming, including the script changes, production ended around mid May, less than two months before its scheduled July release. The ending was not written until it was finally time to film it. Editors had to work very quickly to have the film ready, which is why the trailers feature some deleted and alternate scenes which are not in the film. So the film was greenlit, filmed and released in theaters in the span of just 7 months.
The film received mixed reviews. And if Warner Bros. was confident that spending $150 million to rush a film was worth it, they were in for a rude awakening. The film earned just $285 million worldwide, which meant that the film was a box office flop.
It was the last film in the franchise. Although a gang in a pub in Philadelphia kept the spirit alive by making three sequels, one of which had Danny DeVito as the bad guy.
- Budget: $150,000,000.

The Verdict
Despite the inconsistency of his filmography, it's hard to deny Donner as a very influential figure of cinema.
He was an expert in handling many genres; you'd expect the director of
The Goonies to make 4
Lethal Weapon films? Or that the guy who made
The Omen would make
Scrooged? Sure, his last films indicated that he might have lost it, but you can't blame him for trying. The fact that he was willing to make
Lethal Weapon 5 before his death show he was very committed. He was never too old for this shit.
And of course, there's
Superman. The film that changed comic book films as we know them. It wasn't the first, but it was perhaps the most influential. There's an argument that either
Batman,
The Dark Knight,
Iron Man,
The Avengers,
Deadpool or
Joker are more influential, but those films wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for Donner. It's why Kevin Feige shows the film to all the cast and crew before filming any MCU film. If the film was put in the careless hands of a mediocre director, it would've been forgotten almost immediately. And the genre would be very different today. So it's a testament to the strength of the film of how much it could change the landscape of what was possible. He and Christopher Reeve really offered something fresh and exciting. They truly made the world believe a man could fly.
Hope you liked this edition. You can find this and more in the
wiki for this section. The next director will be
Ang Lee. A very important filmmaker.
I asked you to choose who else should be in the run and the comment with the most upvotes would be chosen. Well, we'll later talk about...
Roland Emmerich. Is it Joever for him?
This is the schedule for the following four:
Week | Director | Reasoning |
June 3-9 | Ang Lee | What happened to Lee? |
June 10-16 | Zack Snyder | RIP Inbox. |
June 17-23 | Tony Scott | Action films have not been the same ever since his death. |
June 24-30 | Roland Emmerich | The King of disaster films. |
Who should be next after Emmerich? That's up to you. But there's a catch.
For this week, you'll choose from four options, all picked by me. So we won't accept any other suggestions this week. I'll give you four directors, and the director with the most upvotes will get his own post. And here they are:
- Joe Dante: Like Donner, a very influential figure of the 70s and 80s.
- Renny Harlin: One of the most popular directors with the biggest amount of flops. How does he do it?
- John McTiernan: An important action filmmaker... who literally went to jail.
- Rob Reiner: Another actor who had an incredible run as a director, before falling with North.
So which one should be next? That's up to you.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, as you can see this is my first Reedit publication and on the day I am going to present my own version of the now extinct DCEU, without anything else to say let's begin Man Of Steel
Directed by:Zack Snyder
Writted by:David S Goyer and Christopher Nolan
Relased:June 14, 2013
Story:The movie is very good but it will have its respective changes: -First of all, Jonathan Kent wouldn't tell Clark as a child that maybe he should have let those kids die on the bus, he would simply say this Teenage Clark: What did you want me to do? That he would let those children die on the bus? Jonathan Kent:No son, but the world is not yet ready for what you are capable of doing. And in his death he would die from the tornado only that Clark would run through it but he would still be late. -In the bar scene Clark would be tempted to destroy the truck of the guy who bothered him but then he would think about his father's words and just leave. -The suit I would wear would be that of the Josstice League and not a dark one -At first Clark would have existential doubts like in the movie but after the flight scene, he would try to become a beacon of hope and he would be more charismatic -In the battle of Smallville and Metropolis Superman would save the civilians and would not cause as much damage as Zod and his minions -Zod's death also remains the same, except that I would put a scene after that death in which Clark makes it clear that he will not kill again
Casting: 1. Henry Cavil as Superman 2. Amy Adams as Lois Lane 3. Michael Shannon as General Zod 4. Russel Crowe as Jor-El 5. Antje Traue as Faora 6. Kevin Conster as Jonathan Kent 7. Diane Lane as Martha Kent 8. Laurence Fishburne as Perry White
Batman:Death In The Family
Directed by:Ben Affleck
Writted by:Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder
Released:March 3, 2014
The story begins with the same scene of the death of Bruce's parents that appeared in BVS. The story takes place 10 years before BVS and we would see a Batman who has been fighting crime for 10 years but would not be alone since he is accompanied by Robin, both would have a very close bond as father and son. The villain would be Joker and his first scene would be him escaping from Arkham, this version of Joker and it would be less a "gangsta" and more a gentlemen with a spciopath edge, and would be a sadistic version like Heath Ledger's Joker or Brian Azzarelo's version. In all we would see the dynamic duo going after Joker, Alfred, Gordon and Catwoman would have some participation in the film. After two encounters with the Joker, Bruce sends Robin on a mission alone but it would be a trap from the Joker. Robin is captured and taken to Wayne Manor (which, by the way, is empty) this is because it is revealed that somehow the Joker managed to discover Batman's identity, but he would not reveal it to anyone else since he does not want there to be interference. In his twisted relationship with the bat, Joker begins to brutally beat Robin with the famous crowbar. After leaving him almost dead, he fills Robin and the entire mansion with gasoline and ends up burning it with the inside. Batman would arrive too late and hold his son's corpse. Days later, Batman is completely furious, he manages to find a clue to the Joker, Alfred tries to stop him from doing something crazy but Bruce yells at him before leaving (similar to a scene that appeared in Arkham Origins) anyway, Batman manages to find the Joker and does the city a disaster. Batman breaks Joker's teeth and in a scene similar to Batman: Hush, when he is about to kill him, Gordon appears and tells him not to kill him, in the end Batman leaves him alive and leaves the place. The film ends with Batman mourning the death of Robin and with Gotham fearing the new face of the Batman
The post-credit scene: Some time later we see Joker in an Arkham room and Dr. Harleen Quinzel enters the room and the Joker smiles
Casting: 1. Ben Affleck as Batman 2. Ely Snyder as Robin 3. Jared Leto as Joker 4. Jeremy Irons as Alfred 5. JK Simmons as Gordon 6. Carla Gugino as Catwoman 7. Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne 8. Lauren Cohan as Martha Wayne 9. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn
Wonder Woman:
Directed by:Patty Jenkins
Writted by:Zack Snyder and Allan Heinberg
Released:September 17, 2014
Story:OK, the story of the movie stays the same because it is also good but it will have an alternative story that Zack Snyder was planning. The story is about Diana leaving Themyscira to go hunt Ares. And for 1 century, Diana would have traveled the earth, beginning in the Crimean War during the year 1854, Wonder Woman would have had hundreds of confrontations with Ares, turning their enmity somewhat deeper. Diana would be an imposing warrior, with a team of warriors from different parts of the world, including the Apache chief. At first Wonder Woman would have no faith in humanity (But it wouldn't be so violent either and it wouldn't raise headsbut) but eventually the First World War would break out where she would meet Steve Trevor and restore her hope. And the ending would be similar to the original movie.
The post credit scene:We would see the first appearance of one of the mother boxes sheltered in Themyscira
Casting: 1. Gal Gafot as wonder Woman 2. Chris Pine as Steve Trevor 3. David Thewlis as Ares 4. Connie Nielsen as Hipolita 5. Elena Anaya as Dr Poison 6. Danny Huston as General Erich Ludendorff 7. Eugene Brave Rock as Apache Chief
The Flash
Witted and directed by:Rick Famuyiwa
Relased:March 23, 2015

So he calls himself Flash. His love interest would be Iris West and along with Barry's father, he would be important to the story and the villain would be Captain Cold

Casting: 1. Ezra Miller as Flash 2. Kiersey Klemmons as Iris West 3. Sam Worthinghton as Captain Cold 4. Billy crudup as Henry Allen 5. Maribel Verdú as nora Allen 6. Anthony Starr as reverse Flash
Aquaman
Directed by:James Wan
Writted by:Zack Snyder and James Wan
Released:September 27, 2015
Story:OK, This story would also be of origin and we would see the past of Arthur's parents and how he obtains his powers, meeting Atlantis and some of its inhabitants such as Mera and Vulko and the latter would be the one who would train him but Arthur would be rejected by Orm and the other inhabitants of Atlantis because he is a half-blood son, so Arthur leaves to protect the seas on his own. The villain would be Black Mantha, he and his army of pirates would seek revenge against Arthur for killing Black Mantha's father, and Orm would have secretly hired him to kill him. In the end, Arthur defeats Mantha and he ends up escaping.
The post-credit scene :The second mother box would also come out on the outskirts of Atlantis
Casting: 1. Jason momoa as Aquaman 2. Amber Heard Or Emilia clarke as Mera 3. Willem Dafoe as Vulko 4. Yahya Abdul Mateen II as Black Mantha 5. Patrick Wilsom as Orm 6. Temuera Morrison as thomas Curry 7. Nichole Kidman as Atlanna
Batman vs Superman:Dawn Of Justice
Directed by:Zack Snyder
Writted by:Chris Terrio and david s Goyer
Story:The story would be the same as the movie that came out. Yes, including Suoerman's death but obviously it will have its respective changes: -The film begins directly with Bruce Wayne witnessing the destruction of Metropolis -Jimmy Olsen would still have died but instead of being a CIA agent he would have been a formal photographer, only the CIA would have put a tracker on his camera without him knowing, making his death a little sadder when he was murdered by KG Beast, even Clark would regret this, showing that they already knew each other. -We move on to the apartment scene, instead of Clark not caring about the public's opinion, he would tell Los not to worry about it, that he will continue fighting to gain the people's trust and save them all, no matter what. Every life deserves to be saved and that is what matters most more than any public approval. -Superman would have a personality similar to the version of Tyler Hoechlyn in Superman and Lois: a version of Superman who, despite continuing to have moral conflicts as in the film, would not be as serious and would learn that his actions are what define who he is. he and should not listen to what the government and the press say about him -Batman would not kill anyone, he would leave criminals brutally injured and he would not mark them either. It would also talk in more depth about what he has done during those 20 years in Gotham, the death of Robin and delve into Batffleck's emotional disorder, there would also be a scene in which Batffleck would see the objectives of his villains in his gallery in the Batcave -Lex Luthor would be a combination between the mad and disturbed scientist (although he obviously wouldn't behave or talk strange) and the businessman we all know. And he would also preserve that philosophy that Snyder gave him (only without doing the antics he did in the film, of course) because he thinks that Superman is a demon fallen from the sky who has come not only to destroy the earth, but also to take away from it. the merit of being the Savior of Metropolis -The conflict between Batman and Superman would be this: Superman would not agree with Batman's way of acting, going so far as to kill criminals. And Batman would be obsessed with showing him that Superman is a threat (although not because of the apocalyptic nightmare) and he would also be plotting the death of Robin. -In the chase with the Batmobile, Batman would not kill anyone and he would manage to crash the cars without losing their lives. -Superman saves Lois from falling and after kissing, Sups asks his beloved if she is okay and she says yes and reveals that Lex is the real culprit of all this. -In the rooftop scene: Lex would quote the speech about the problem of evil and his reasons for hating him, he also reveals that he has his mother and Superman, instead of kneeling before him, would simply beg him not to kill her, and Lex tells him that If they want to see their mother alive, let them go and kill the bat, but Sups would refuse and Lex would ask him: But why? If you have already killed before, what is the difference now? And Superman would answer: That was the only time I had to kill someone and I don't want to do it anymore. But Lex would say: Then I'll make it easier for you, go fight Batman and let him kill you. It doesn't matter if you die or he dies, in the end I'll still end up winning. -In the next scene, Clark would tell Suoerman what is happening and he would say this: Superman: Lois, I have to go convince him to help me. Lois: But Clark. will try to kill you Superman: Don't worry, I'll take what I can, he also fell for Luthor's manipulations. Superman would continue saying: And he may be on a dark path... But I will try to help him. As Superman rises he would say: In this world we can still redeem ourselves -Batman would say this phrase to Superman directly taken from the comic The Dark Knight Returns: "I want to remind you to get out of my way. In all the years to come, in your most private moments. I want you to remember the only man who defeated you" later Batman would take out a spear and also tell him: "You were never a god, you were not even a man" (instead of giving him a scar with the spear, he could just put his foot on his chest) and when he is about to kill Superman, Clark would say: "You're letting Martha be murdered." Batman is surprised by the comment while still looking at him with anger and asks him, "What did you say?" And Suoerman responds: "Help me find that man... Save my mother." Then he begins to have flashbacks of his parents and then Lois would appear to help her love, then he would decide to help Superman and he would realize that Luthor He was behind everything telling her: I don't trust you... But something tells me that now I have to help you... I'm just going to make you a promise... Your mother would not die tonight -Battman's fight scene also stays the same except that Batman would not kill anyone and would only leave them brutally injured - Doomsday remains the same but this would be the original, the one from space. A year before BVS Doomsday would have fallen to Earth but he would be in a coma, Lex Corp would find him around Superman and Lex would have planted a chip in him to control him (similar to what Superman did with Doomsday in the Injustice universe) this chip would be programmed to attack Superman and anyone else who tries to attack the beast. He would even have been the cause of destroying the moon on Krypton due to a battle against Steppenwolf. -Superman's death and the ending stay the same -The version that would reach in theaters would be the ultimate edition, only it would not have a slow pace
Casting: 1. Ben Affleck as Batman 2. Henry Cavil as Superman 3. Amy Adams as Lois Lane 4. Jesse Eisenberg or Leonardo Dicaprio as Lex Luthor 5. Laurence Fishburne as perry White 6. Jeremy Irons as Alfred 7. Diane Lane as Martha Kent 8. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman 9. Callan Mulvey as KG Beast 10. Michael Cassady as Jimmy Olsen
Suicide Squad
Writted and Directed by:David Ayer
Released:August 5, 2016
Story:The version that would be released would be the Ayer Cut. Which would be darker and deeper. And this is what the original version would change about the movie that came out to cinemas: -More appearances of the Joker -Harley Quinn would have an arc in which she finally realizes that the Joker was bad for her -More development for the other members of the squad -In Belle Reeve other villains would appear in their cells such as King Shark, Killer Frost, Bane and the master of mirrors -Batman would also appear more time -Killer Croc would have a more beastly appearance and would measure 2 meters -Captain Boomerang would have a design more similar to the one that appeared in James Gunn's Suicide Squad -More references to Robin's death -Enchantress would have a better motivation (and a better design) and would be connected to Apokolips, bringing Steppenwolf to earth, using the third mother box -And the Enchantress monsters would have a skeleton head -Harley and Deathshot's romance -Devil would still die -And in the end we would have a more complete ending in which Joker kidnaps Harley -And I personally would keep these songs that came out in the theatrical version: Heathens of Twenty One pilots, Gansta: Kehlani, Sucker for Pain and Standing In The rain
Casting: 1. Margot robbie as Harley Quinn 2. Will Smith as Deadshot 3. Jared Leto as Joker 4. Viola davis as Amanda Waller 5. Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag 6. Cara Delevinge as Enchantress 7. Jai courtney as Captain bommerang 8. adewale akinnuoye-agbaje 9. Jay Hernandez as el Diablo 10. Karen Fukuhara as Katanna 11. Scott Eastwood as GQ Edwards 12. Ben Affleck as Batman 13. Adam Beach as slipnok
Cyborg
Directed by:Rick Famuyiwa
Writted by:Zack Snyder and Rick Famuyiwa
Released:April 3, 2017
Story:In this film I will use all the source material that appeared in Zack Snyder's Justice League and it would serve as a prelude to this film. At first Victor would resent his father for turning him into a Cyborg but as the story progresses his resentment towards him. Gridd would be the villain and would use the third mother box that appeared in Suicide Squad for personal purposes, Victor would have to stop him and in the end the third mother box is activated again, bringing Steppenwolf's attention.
Casting: 1. Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Gridd 2. Joe Morton as Sillas stone 3. Karen bryson as Elinor Stone 4. Zhen Kai as ryan Choi/Atom
Justice League:Part One
Directed by:Zack Snyder
Writted by:ZackSnyder,Chris Terrio and Will Beall
Story:The version that would be released in cinemas would be the Snyder Cut, but it would have its respective changes -The film would not have such a slow pace and would have a shorter duration so I would have to remove some scenes and edit others -It would not be divided into parts either. -I would use Slowmotion and the Wonder Woman song in the moments that are necessary -In the scene in which Martha consoles Lois, if she were the real Martha and not the Martian Detective, he would come out later -Superman's fight against the League would be a little more similar to that of Ikaris vs the Eternals -It would be explained that Superman's black suit works to regenerate his Kryptonian cells like in the comics -And as a post-credit scene we would see the same scene of Lex escaping from Arkham and meeting with Deathstroke to tell him that Bruce Wayne is Batman. And in the second post credit we would see John Stewart warning Bruce of the threat of Darkseid
Casting: 1. Ben Affleck as Batman 2. Henry Cavil as Superman 3. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman 4. Ezra Miller as Flash 5. Ray Fisher as Cyborg 6. Jason Momoa as Aquaman 7. Ciaran Hinds as Steppenwolf 8.

And well people, that's all for today, I hope you liked it and see you in phase 2 of the DCEU ¡BYE!
So since I was in High School, I've been obsessed with writing lore based on my characters in the games. At this point I have a complete universal storyline that coexist with the actual games. Basically each character has a unique super power or ability. Kinda like if Marvel and Bethesda had a baby.
Fallout 1: Agents of Vault 13. Albert Cole; the Diplomat. Natalia Dubrovhsky; the Marksman. Maxwell Stoneburgh; the Muscle. Basically it's the canonical storyline, I just involved all three of the base characters with all their original Special skills and percs. Except at the end, Natalia dies and Max falls into the Vats and becomes a super mutant but he remains good and helps Albert defeat the master at the end.
Fallout 2: The Chosen Ones. Nargito the Scorpion Warrior Réza the Black Widow. Grognak the Barbarion. Same premise as before. Nargito is the tribes popular Warrior. Reza is the smart one in the group but also has a high sex appeal. Grognak is the simpleton but has brute strength. He also named himself after his favorite comic book hero.
Fallout 3; Doctor Evolution. Dr. Catherine Jane Hartigan; the Scientist. Following her father's footsteps, she's an intelligent medic and scientist who later becomes obsesses with FEV . After saving the Capital Wasteland she experimented on herself with Plasma radiation and FEV. She recoded her DNA and turned herself into a living breathing Plasma weapon. She's immune to radiation damage and can shoot Plasma light from her hands. I got my inspiration from Moira on Overwatch.
Fallout New Vegas: The Deathclaw Countess. Selena Black; the Monstress. So this one is funny to me cuz I came up with this character back in high school of 2016 and my inspiration was Lady Deathstrike from Xmen and my favorite band's album cover of "In This Moment Black widow". Then Resident Evil came out with Lady D and my jaw dropped cuz I'm like they stole my idea lmao. But this character is the child of Nargito and Reza from Fallout 2, but she was taken as a child by the Enclave and experimented with FEV and Deathclaw DNA. Basically making her a WereDeathclaw. She has retractable Claws and can transform into a full sized Deathclaw. So see what I mean?!?!
Fallout 4, General Pax. Jonathan William Grant. So basically this is a combination of Captain America and Iron Man. John was a Veteran and a brilliant engineer before the war. He built and designed weapons and armor for the military. After the bombs he found a suit of Power Armor and modified it to be flying killing machine went on a rampage looking for his son and joined the Minutemen and became the General. After the Institute, he vowed he'd protect the Commonwealth from any and all threats no matter the cost.
Fallout 4 Nuka World; the Cryo Witch. Diana Grant. After being shot in the head and her baby taken from her arms, Diana remained in the cryo chamber frozen. Then a mysterious stranger found her and sprayed her with an experimental form of FEV Cell Reconstruction and it healed her bullet wound but as a side effect, altered her DNA and gave her Ice powers. Hence the name, "Cryo Witch". Unfortunately due to getting shot in the head, she suffered amnesia and doesn't remember anything of her past life. She escaped and found herself in Nuka World and later became the Raider Queen.
The Alexander Girls. Kiki DeVine. Scarlett Rose. Daisy Summers. I came up with these characters from the Follout Shelter mobile game. They are Synths, created by a pre war Vault Tech scientist, Dr Charles Alexander. They're not just regular synths however. They're exterior shell is made of titanium carbon fiber and have advanced speed, strength and combat. Also they were designed and dressed in burlesque fashion. So think Moulin Rouge meets Powerpuff Girls meets Charlie's Angels. Also Dr Charles did what Mr House did to himself. He immortalized himself as a living super computer inside his Vault that he designed and built before the war.
Captain Galactica. Helena Sinclaire, the Galactic Explorer When the game Outer Worlds came out, I thought it was related to the Fallout universe but I later found out it wasn't but I kept this character in my story.
The Watcher; Xeno; the Alien. So we all know aliens exist in the Fallout universe cuz we keep finding them as easter eggs in game. Well I thought it'd be cool if Aliens finally start making a move against Earth and one Alien in particular recruits all the living heroes to fight the Aliens.
