2024.05.19 21:28 PorchDeck Emre - Tank Hero Concept
Story/Bio: submitted by PorchDeck to Overwatch [link] [comments] Emre returned to Istanbul after Operation White Dome and the Omnic Crisis to help with recovery effects in the aftermath. When traveling outside of Istanbul, he grew a strong attachment to even helping the local wildlife in Turkey, which includes some that he finds the most fascinating like the leopard, chameleon and falcon. Emre eventually decided to venture out into the world instead of returning to Overwatch and came across many in his travels that helped him create and perfect the battle suit that he now uses in combat to channel the very abilities of his home countryâs native animals in order to help defend his homeland from any would-be threats. After a near-death experience and stability returned to his home, Emre sees his second chance at life as an opportunity to now lend his strength to his former team at Overwatch and ârise from the ashesâ much like the legendary Phoenix. Ability Notes: · Primary: I wanted him to be mostly melee focused, so claws with just sustained/constant damage seemed like a good way to go. Itâs simple, hack n slash type of gameplay, much in the way of Reinhardt hammer swings in terms of coverage. · Secondary: If he was going to be a Tank, he needed some form of defense, especially if close quarters would be a constant for him. Instead of it being an exact Doom block on a cooldown, this would be a resource meter like Defense Matrix. Based on the amount of damage you block, he will receive Overhealth. Overhealth seemed like a strong mechanic for him (though Shields could also work I guess) since he gets stronger on low health and needed some way to utilize this but not die instantly and be able to actually use it and have it matter. The perfect block just is to reward not sitting there holding it, but it didnât need to be too powerful where you can achieve it for no extra cost. So maybe a bit more resource meter cost, then you can get the automatic tail whip to deal damage and for crowd control. I imagined this tail whip animation/attack would have either just simply have invincibility frame, deflect projectiles back, send a fire strike-like projectile back at the enemy attack that achieved the perfect block and/or just simply destroy projectiles while spinning. · Alternate Fire: Again, not married to the idea, but just needed something that wasnât exactly the same as anyone else that could help give some extra options for poke damage, similar to the way that Ram has options. I also just feel like not that many heroes utilize the switching weapons all that much, so good to have more with the option to do so with limited ability slots. · Pounce: I would imagine this ability to allow him to start slashing and have the damage ramp up as he goes rather than being immense from the start (unless thereâs a high Bloodlust bonus), so that people can have a chance to live through it. I also figured this could be something abled to be interrupted by ANY CC to give it some balance. So any boop, stun, hack, etc. could stop it before it gets to the Overhealth generation phase and lessen the damage to save the pinned ally. This could also just work as a quicker pin, 3 slashes and out type of ability, so that the pin aspect isnât quite so much. He would be vulnerable and able to be punished during it, so not a fully OP ability hopefully. · Cloaked Regeneration: We generally hate invisibility thanks to Sombra, but this wouldnât quite be the same in that he canât just freely move about the battlefield cloaked and it could still be found out with the normal spy checking methods. I originally wanted this to be a way to heal like Meiâs Ice Block, but getting to the Bloodlust aspect, healing seems to not always be the play. So, another source of Overhealth, so that he can recuperate in some way without losing that benefit. I also thought about adding some more chameleon-like features during this ability such as enhanced detection abilities that the animal naturally has. For instance, he could detect enemies within a proximity, have an added âfocusâ look during it to see brighter enemy indicators in the distance and/or hear heartbeats during it to tell where enemies in a certain area are. But perhaps itâs a bit too much and better left not being included. · Untamed Traversal: Similar to my need to include the different animal aspects, I simply wanted him to have something from each. Double Jump for Leopard (originally wanted a leap, but Pounce exists and this would only be during flight cooldown), Wall Climb for Chameleon and Flight with the Falcon. The flight could be simply like Echoâs or more varied like Echoâs recent Mirror Watch version where itâs a quick dart in a certain direction. Gliding/floating just felt like a natural thing for him to have, as well, with the wings and all. I realized afterwards that wording of this could be confusing, but it's meaning that while Flight itself is on cooldown, he can double jump instead when pressing Jump twice. Wall climb can be done no matter what, but there are probably times where you could accidentally use Flight instead climbing the wall depending on when you are pressing Jump in rapid succession, and it doesn't trigger the climb as intended. · Bloodlust: I felt that he needed a passive that would be different from other OW heroes, but this would be sort of similar to Sombraâs Opportunist one that got replaced with Hacked Targets. This would lead to more âhigh risk, high rewardâ gameplay, where you may not necessarily WANT to be on full or near full health before jumping into the fray. The Overhealth options are there to help aid with this, and can even be further helped by something like Lucioâs Beat to make other plays with it. He also still needed to have a way to just be healed regularly, in case thatâs the proper play, but with the new healing passive, it just seemed like it needed to be stopped from ruining such plans immediately. Instead of so many Overhealth options, I guess damage reduction could come into play, but the health just makes it easier to judge in some ways what might work and what wonât while you try to linger on low health. Other passives could have even been the detection things that I mentioned for Cloaked Regeneration, which would just add to the animal-related abilities aspect of him. Overall Notes: I wanted to make a hero that had powers of different animals (like Vixen in the DC Universe). I was looking up different types and thought of Emre who is from Turkey and looked up animals that could be found in Turkey that would also fit this. So, I went with a Leopard (for the claws/attack abilities), Chameleon (for the stealth, wall climbing and they are known for utilizing their tail for different things) and Falcon (for the wings and being a bird of prey). This is also layered into just also having the bird- styled dart weapon and the Phoenix-based ult. Giving him the alternate fire dart weapon was inspired from an old anime cartoon I remember seeing a long time ago (G Force: Guardians of Space). In this show, there were multiple bird related heroes, and one used a throwing weapon that was a bladed bird that he would toss out and it would bounce off of different enemies and surfaces and come back to him. Admittedly, he doesnât really NEED this, but just to be an option to not be solely reliant on melee, as heâs not quite the disruptor that Doom can be and could maybe use more options. He does have a lot of mobility options, so it definitely is something that Iâm not entirely adamant about him having in his kit. As for the role, people really have been asking for a melee DPS unit and some version of this could work. I recently saw Marvel Rivals and was surprised to see how similar Black Panther was to what I envisioned (though damage vs tank), but I feel like mine adds more ways to use such a passive like Bloodlust and not get immediately punished for it or have to run for healing right away. However, if some more things were adjusted to make the Overhealth gains not so much and maybe taking away some things like the guard, it could work as a melee unit. Another issue that I wouldnât want to happen is the Sombra effect, where a DPS would just be cloaked and stalking heroes at spawn and pounce/kill immediately. A DPS can be gone from the fight reasonably, but if your Tank is missing and doing this, then a lot less likely of a scenario to happen for the team fight aspect, though Ball can kind of do this with his unmatched mobility options. It also doesnât have to be Emre specifically, but I really would love to see him, and it just gave a good excuse since heâs been MIA for so long that he could literally be anything at this point. Admittedly, I could be missing some key information about him as Iâm not a true member of the EmreMains where I would know, so I didnât have the lore knowledge to create a more related story/kit for him. I'm also not all that familiar with specific details of the lore/timeline to know if the rest is viable, either. For the character, I had ideas for certain interactions that he certain heroes by giving his suit the ability to translate speech like Wrecking Ballâs mech, where he could communicate with animals. Either just with super intelligent ones like Hammond or all, in general. Tanks unfortunately donât get to interact much on the same team, but even just elimination lines and references could be made to them having a connection, same for Winston. Iâm not 100% certain where his tech would have originated from, I figured he could taken a little bit from many different people (Hammond, Lifeweaver, Echo, Orisa/Efi, etc.), so there could be potential there depending on what would work story-wise. I would love it if Illari could be involved since she kind of has no one butâŠnot sure how it would work or how she could contribute, though her people did have interesting solar threading tech. Side note, the image is probably not the best, but fighting with the AI to not just give me random images of evil looking romance novel type images or automatically giving him Mercy wings when I mentioned Overwatch, this was one of the best that kind of showed what I was envisioning, so I went with it even though my editing abilities arenât great and I could NOT get rid of the transparent background from the wing details and had to leave some pixelation/background in unfortunately. |

I absolutely adore the first 3 films in the franchiseThe first two are whimsical and the purest of comforts, and the 3rd is maybe one of the greatest studio-made films of all time. After this, I feel the quality drops. I especially despise the homogenized studio feel of the Yates era. This is my dream directorâs list, inspired by actual candidates for the role back in the day.

2024.05.18 21:15 SanderSo47 Directors at the Box Office: Clint Eastwood (Part 1)
https://preview.redd.it/m07tmkxgi81d1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a069dd209bca819edad29814e0bbd2b76eaa50db submitted by SanderSo47 to boxoffice [link] [comments] As Reddit doesn't allow posts to exceed 40,000 characters, Eastwood's edition had to be split into two parts because his whole career cannot be ignored. The second part will be posted tomorrow.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 Clint Eastwood's turn.Eastwood was a troublemaker at school, and he had a bunch of odd jobs such as lifeguard, paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy. In 1951, he was drafted into the United States Army during the Korean War and was discharged two years later. Through this, he got into contact with a Hollywood representative, who got him into acting classes and started his acting career. He got his start by starring in the hit show Rawhide, but he said he was exhausted by the experience. This caught the attention of some film producers and he decided to act in films directed by the then-unknown Sergio Leone. His career was on the rise, and then he got the chance to make his directorial debut. 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 1970s, some of 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.Play Misty for Me (1971)"The scream you hear may be your own!"His directorial debut. It stars Eastwood, Jessica Walter and Donna Mills, and follows a radio disc jockey being stalked by an obsessed female fan. Before his colleague Irving Leonard died, he and Eastwood had discussed the idea of producing a film that was to give Eastwood the artistic control he desired, and his debut as a director. Eastwood said he was ready, "I stored away all the mistakes I made and saved up all the good things I learned, and now I know enough to control my own projects and get what I want out of actors." The film was a huge success for Eastwood, and it also received positive reviews. So far, his directorial career was off to a great start.
High Plains Drifter (1973)"They'd never forget the day he drifted into town."His second film. The film stars Eastwood, Verna Bloom and Mariana Hill, and follows a mysterious stranger who metes out justice in a corrupt frontier mining town. Eastwood reportedly liked the offbeat quality of the film's original nine-page proposal and approached Universal with the idea of directing it, which would make it his first directed Western. The screenplay was inspired by the real-life murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens in 1964, which eyewitnesses reportedly stood by and watched. Holes in the plot were filled in with black humor and allegory, influenced by Sergio Leone. It was well received, and the film even surpassed Play Misty for Me at the box office. Eastwood was just going up.
Breezy (1973)"Her name is Breezy."His third film. It stars William Holden and Kay Lenz, and follows the relationship between a middle-aged real estate agent and a young hitchhiker. This was his first directed film without starring on it. And his lack of presence certainly hurt the film; it received mixed reviews and flopped at the box office.
The Eiger Sanction (1975)"His lifeline, held by the assassin he hunted."His fourth film. Based on the novel by Trevanian, the film stars Eastwood, George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee, and Jack Cassidy. It follows Jonathan Hemlock, an art history professor, mountain climber, and former assassin once employed by a secret government agency, who is blackmailed into returning to his deadly profession for one last mission. The film received mixed reactions for its writing, and it wasn't a box office success either.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)"An army of one."His fifth film. Based on the novel Gone to Texas by Forrest Carter, it stars Eastwood, Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Bill McKinney and John Vernon. The film tells the story of Josey Wales, a Missouri farmer whose family is murdered by Union militia during the Civil War. Driven to revenge, Wales joins a Confederate guerrilla band and makes a name for himself as a feared gunfighter. After the war, all the fighters in Wales' group except for him surrender to Union soldiers, but the Confederates end up being massacred. Wales becomes an outlaw and is pursued by bounty hunters and Union soldiers as he tries to make a new life for himself. Eastwood was fascinated by the novel and he bought the film rights, hoping to star on the film. He got Philip Kaufman involved as screenwriter and possible director, but left after disagreeing with Eastwood in the material adapted to the screen. Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail, which caused disagreements with Eastwood, not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman's part in regard to their emerging relationship. This caused Eastwood to take over as the director. Kaufman's firing angered the DGA, as he did most of the pre-production, and sanctioning a $60,000 fine. This resulted in the Director's Guild passing a new rule, known as "the Eastwood Rule", which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then personally taking on the director's role. The film received critical acclaim, and in subsequent years, is ranked among Eastwood's greatest films. It was also a huge success at the box office, doubling his previous highest grossing film. It was also one of the few Western films to receive critical and commercial success in the 1970s at a time when the Western was thought to be dying as a major genre in Hollywood.
The Gauntlet (1977)"The man in the middle of..."His sixth film. It stars Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle, William Prince, Bill McKinney, and Mara Corday. It follows a down-and-out cop who falls in love with a prostitute, to whom he is assigned to escort from Las Vegas to Phoenix for her to testify against the mob. While it received mixed reviews, it became another box office success for Eastwood, becoming his now highest grossing film.
Bronco Billy (1980)"The most outrageous of 'em all."His seventh film. The film stars Eastwood and Sondra Locke, and focuses on the financially-struggling owner of a traditional Wild West show and his new assistant. It became another critical and commercial success for Eastwood, who referred to the film as one of his most affable shoots of his career.
Firefox (1982)"The most devastating killing machine ever built... his job... steal it!"His eighth film. Based on the novel by Craig Thomas, it stars Eastwood, Freddie Jones and David Huffman. The Soviets have developed a revolutionary new jet fighter, called "Firefox". Naturally, the British are worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon, as rumors say that the jet is undetectable on radar. They send ex-Vietnam War pilot Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox. The film received mixed reviews, but it earned almost $47 million, becoming Eastwood's highest grossing title as director.
Honkytonk Man (1982)"The boy is on his way to becoming a man. The man is on his way to becoming a legend."His ninth film. It's based on the novel by Clancy Carlile, and it stars Eastwood and his son Kyle. It follows Red Stovall, a country music singer and composer. With his nephew Whit by his side, he travels to Nashville to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in the backdrop of the Great Depression. While the film received acclaim, it earned just $4.4 million, becoming his second worst performer.
Sudden Impact (1983)"Dirty Harry is at it again."His tenth film. The fourth installment in the Dirty Harry series, directed, it stars Eastwood and Sondra Locke. The film tells the story of a gang rape victim who decides to seek revenge on her rapists 10 years after the attack by killing them one by one. Inspector Harry Callahan, famous for his unconventional and often brutal crime-fighting tactics, is tasked with tracking down the serial killer. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it earned over $150 million worldwide, Eastwood's first film to pass that milestone. It's also very popular for including the iconic catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day."
Pale Rider (1985)"...And Hell followed with him."His 11th film. It stars Eastwood, Michael Moriarty and Carrie Snodgress. A couple and their daughter, along with a few others, are driven out of Lahood, California, by goons working for a mining baron. However, a stranger enters their life to assist them in their fight. There was no stopping Eastwood: another critical and commercial success.
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)"The scars run deep."His 12th film. It stars Eastwood, Marsha Mason, Everett McGill, and Mario Van Peebles. The story centers on a U.S. Marine nearing retirement who gets a platoon of undisciplined Marines into shape and leads them during the American invasion of Grenada in 1983. The film was inspired by an account of American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division using a pay telephone and a credit card to call in fire support during the invasion of Grenada, and fashioned a script of a Korean War veteran career Army non-commissioned officer passing on his values to a new generation of soldiers. Eastwood was interested in the script and asked his producer, Fritz Manes, to contact the US Army with a view of filming the movie at Fort Bragg. However, the Army read the script and refused to participate, due to Highway being portrayed as a hard drinker, divorced from his wife, and using unapproved motivational methods to his troops, an image the Army did not want. It received mixed reviews, with some deeming the film as "imperialist propaganda". But it was still another box office success.
Bird (1988)"There are no second acts in American lives."His 13th film. The film stars Forest Whitaker and Diane Venora. It is constructed as a montage of scenes from saxophonist Charlie Parker's life, from his childhood in Kansas City, through his early death at the age of 34. Eastwood, a lifelong fan of jazz, had been fascinated by Parker ever since seeing him perform live in Oakland in 1946. He approached Chan Parker, Bird's common-law wife on whose memoirs the script was based, for input, and she lent Eastwood and arranger Lennie Niehaus a collection of recordings from her private collection Before Eastwood was involved, Richard Pryor was originally cast as Parker. Despitive positive reviews, it performed poorly, earning just $2.2 million in North America.
White Hunter Black Heart (1990)"An adventure in obsession."His 14th film. Based on the novel by Peter Viertel, it stars Eastwood, Jeff Fahey, George Dzundza, Alun Armstrong and Marisa Berenson. It follows a famous movie director, John Wilson, who goes to Africa to make his next movie. He is an obstinate, contrary director who'd rather hunt elephants than take care of his crew or movie. He has become obsessed with one particular elephant and cares for nothing else. Despite positive reviews, it made just $2.3 million domestically, not even 10% of the budget.
The Rookie (1990)His 15th film. The film stars Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, SĂŽnia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Tom Skerritt.

Unforgiven (1992)"Some legends will never be forgotten. Some wrongs can never be forgiven."His 16th film. It stars Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris and Morgan Freeman. It follows William Munny, a widower with two young kids, who was once a very vicious gunfighter who gave up everything after marriage. Now, a man named Schofield Kid brings him an offer that he cannot refuse, forcing him to come out of retirement for one last job. David Webb Peoples wrote the script all the way back to 1976, and it was optioned by Francis Ford Coppola, but he lacked the funds needed to helm it. By Eastwood's own recollection, he was given the script in the "early 80s" although he did not immediately pursue it, because, according to him, "I thought I should do some other things first". Eastwood has long asserted that the film would be his last traditional Western, concerned that any future projects would simply rehash previous plotlines or imitate someone else's work. He dedicated the film to his close friends and mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel. Hackman initially refused to participate as his daughters were upset that he was starring in too many violent films, but he became fascinated by the script that he agreed. It opened with $15 million and it legged all the way to $100 million after playing for almost one year, closing with $159 million worldwide, his now highest grossing film. The film received Eastwood's best reviews of his career, with many considering the film as his magnum opus as director. It received 9 Oscar nominations, and won four: Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Hackman, and Best Film Editing. So Eastwood, on top of being a reliable box office draw, was now a 2-time Oscar winner.
