| Top General: Absent Any Commanders |
Along the same vein as solving the miserable disaster known as "Alien: Covenant," we explore the solution to fixing Justice League, restoring optimism to ticket buyers, and rescuing an awful decline in THE MATERIAL QUALITY OF motion picture art projects- world-wide. Alien Covenant's rescue plan is within a May-June post. It detailed how the crew should have visited three alien planets BEFORE arriving at "Paradise Lost." Three exciting, new, visually stunning balls of unique ecosystems...one may rain diamonds, another may rain propane. Covenant cannot be rescued- Justice Leage and the DCEFU can.
I. WOLFMAN WASTED
To stir a story one must make an evil villain's immediate strength tenebrous and substantial. The Wolfman [a/k/a/ General Steppenwolf] was wasted in JL:I due to the scrap of all darker themes per studio risk slashing cuts.
II. SOLUTION
One member- perhaps a close ally, or wannabe member must fall to install thoughts of revenge and interest in an audience. The Wolfman had no commanding officers. Darkseid's Elite, listed below, should have been the source from where three distinctively different army commanders could have been derived from.
Each one is introduced. Each one is evil. Each one will fall to the League as they build momentum and give an audience the desire to find out just how much tact their leader, Steppenwolf, has.
I would have chosen Kalibak, Desaad, Titan, and Godfrey.
- Amazing Grace - A master manipulator, Glorious Godfrey's younger sister, who once managed to brainwash Superman.
- Bane of Apokolips -
- Brola - An elite shock trooper.
- Desaad - A sadistic torturer.
- Devilance - The god of the hunt, who was seemingly killed by Lobo during the events of 52.
- Doctor Bedlam - A pure energy being, who inhabits a neverending series of artificial bodies.
- Glorious Godfrey - A master manipulator, mostly adept at bending huge masses of people to his will.
- Granny Goodness - The founder of the Female Furies and keeper of the horrid orphanages in Apokolips.
- Kalibak - Darkseid's eldest son, a thuggish brute.
- Kanto - A master assassin and "Preening clotheshorse", as Darkseid once described him.
- Mantis - A bug-like warrior, one of New Genesis' insect people.
- Mortalla - A servant of Darkseid who can induce sleep with one hand and death with another: she was once a mortal, but was heavily modified to serve him.
- Steppenwolf - Darkseid's uncle, now general in his armies. He once killed Izaya's beloved wife.
- Titan - A green giant.
- Virman Vundabar - An expert strategist and sycophant, who emulates the appearance and mannerisms of a Prussian officer.
III: EPILOGUE
Thor Ragnarok was to represent a realistic, 2017 sci-fi adventure fillm. Instead, it was a jokefest. When picking a lead actor for the Blade Runner Sequel, make sure he didn't just come off a dancing musical. The creative genius of the film industry is in the technology, the green screen, the cgi. Audiences are not zombies, they are smart. Take risks, use the population to your advantage, explore new, fresh ideas. Troubling is the best way to put it. We are all in trouble. Fix it.
